Hajjigak

Thank you for your message. Certainly you will find grammatical and technical errors I ask you to modify this. I am grateful for your help Tabnak (talk) 17:38, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

There was no indication that the content you added was relevant to Hajigak Pass; your sources don't even mention the pass. Thus I have reverted your changes. Huon (talk) 18:53, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot - Revision 594930195 (more than just unpaired brackets)

Is it possible for BracketBot to run an edit filter before opening a talk page for an IP editor? Revision 594930195 did have unpaired brackets; it also inserted an unconstructive edit / minor vandalism, Hi people and killed an image. That combination deserves a different talk page open. On the other hand, that may be asking too much of a bot. - Neonorange (talk) 07:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Well, there are dedicated anti-vandal bots, but BracketBot is currently not among them - giving it this kind of capability would likely be a major effort, and it's completely unrelated to the bot's main purpose. I don't think "being less welcoming to would-be vandals" is among the bot's most urgent areas of improvement. Huon (talk) 18:21, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

The bracket issue has been fixed by Gabriel Yuji, who also did a lot of other tidying. Huon (talk) 18:17, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

The Travel Show

Much appreciated. I have since edit the error and I believe it is now up to scratch. I need help however in uploading the titles for the programme. If you could do this, I will be grateful.

Thanks again, --Mrsolan22 (talk) 20:01, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

This is not a BracketBot issue; I'll reply at your talk page. Huon (talk) 02:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Let BracketBot not be quite so keen

This Bot now gets in the way. I make small edits and it continually reminds me that I have made a mistake on a copy edit when I am in the middle of making small edits. Can you not have it stand off after the last change for an hour or two?

• First, thou shalt not dictate to other Wikipedia editors who come to edit voluntarily what is thine opinion, and take a guideline to a policy and enforceth thine own.

• Second, thy Bot, BracketBot, hath committed sins by changing articles when an editor (namely me) was in the business of changing them.

• Third, That BracketBot has left several messages on my talk page about missing brackets (I notice it does not say braces, parentheses, or guillemets) when I have already fixed them.

• Fourth, thou shalt have a bot, but use it wisely or not at all. Si Trew (talk) 09:13, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

To declare an interest, I helped to write the essay at WP:FEET. I make lots of small changes rather than one huge change. Bots get in the way of that. Si Trew (talk) 09:28, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

I see that you can not be bothered to answer talk by a good faith editor but continue to use your bot as a blunderbuss. I asked you nicely and I could imagine you may have been busy, but you have had several edits and replies since without bothering to answer mine. So I shall stop the bot. Si Trew (talk) 21:31, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

First, I have no idea what guideline or policy you are talking about. All the bot does is notify editors of potential problems; how is that "enforcement" of whatever?

Second, the bot does not edit articles, ever.

Third, I just checked the last three BracketBot messages on your talk page, and the bot gives a message ten minutes after the edit that causes the message. In none of the examples I checked had you resolved the bracket issues before the bot notified you; in one case it even pointed out a problem you had introduced after the edit that originally caused the bot notification. Thus I expect the list of remaining problems is current when you're notified. If you fix bracket problems within ten minutes the bot probably will not notify you at all. If there were other instances where the bot did notify you about resolved problems, please provide diffs.

Fourth, A930913 is very busy in real life and does not deal with their own talk page (which due to BracketBot is rather active, mostly with issues that do not require A930913's attention, such as incorrect claims that the bot edited an article) very often. Huon (talk) 22:51, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Unexplained removal of content

I don't understand the whole shit of what it means and says. I need a better explain to understand.

You shouldn't just remove stuff. At the very least, when others challenge your removal, explain your reasons at that article's talk page; don't simply revert. Whether you're right or wrong, what you did there is considered edit warring. Huon (talk) 20:36, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

AN discussion

Hi A930913. There's currently a discussion about BracketBot at the administrators' noticeboard - see WP:AN#BracketBot. Sorry you're receiving this late - it looks like the original poster forgot to notify you. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 04:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Which one?

You say there's an error in my edit here. Which one? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 00:59, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

@Llywelyn2000: In your edit, you changed "http://www.delightedbeauty.org/" to "www.delightedbeauty.org/vvv" inside the "url" parameter of a {{cite web}} template. Leaving out the "http://" means that the cite web template treats it as an error. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 04:52, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Wouldn't it be easier to get a bot to do it? Done. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 07:33, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

BattyBot had automatically changed it by the time I arrived on the scene. Why don't you therefore turn yours off, and allow BattyBot to just do it! Alternatively, change the cite web template to allow www... Llywelyn2000 (talk) 07:37, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot – Eugénie Fiocre – diff - False positive?

Superp (talk) 10:24, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes and no. There is a mismatched bracket, but it's in the file name where we can't really do much about it. This is a known issue with Google Art Project images. Huon (talk) 18:22, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
	The bracket bot is a wonderful idea. Thanks for creating it, and thanks for your impressive response time to suggestions for improvement S Philbrick(Talk) 15:36, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

This was left on my talk page, but it's obviously for you, so I think it's only fair that I move it here. And for the record, I heartily agree with S Philbrick - BracketBot is very useful indeed. Thank you for making it! — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 02:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Another bot opt out option to consider

Some of the bots are complaint with the {{Bots}} opt out feature. Please consider the option with your code. I don't know if you were aware of it. Royalbroil 03:19, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

@Royalbroil: My bots are already compliant 930913(Congratulate) 09:35, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

I added it to the bots template [1] and I didn't show up as a person on the opt out list. Just wanted to make sure that you were aware of it. Thank you! Royalbroil 12:49, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

@Royalbroil: The opt out lists only show people who use the respective custom template or category. There is/was a bot that counted those using {{Bots}}, but I've forgotten what it was. 930913(Congratulate) 14:03, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot – Entertainmentmanager

I really do not understand that why the photo has been deleted .does it has any logo on it.no.it was taken by our production photographer doing a film shoot & it has no copyright of anybody & why her page is getting wrong & negative things about her from this honou..who also have wiki id cummon..you deleted her photo.now you editing her page without seeing whether the statment you leaving is making any sense or not.you wrote about her Been Kuvar Ke Dharti as a vido which as actually an album in bhojpuri language & it was for the prestigious brand in Music Industry in India called T-Series .you didnt mention it.& was sung by kavita who is again a West Easten Indian Popular singer.Prachee is working in 48films.& every now & than she comes on channels in southern India & currently working too hard.all I wanted was you to help in way of writing correction in wikipedia & now I find out is ..you are being too judgemental & deleting every now & than all real information & putting things in a way you want to frame her & not ready to be kind enough to match the facts.but either deleting her photo saying with assuming copyright.& removing her information.all pages like wrong about her all vidoes wrong about her...but you one LOrd correct.great Thanks for your response...yes google & youtube there for publicity ...but wikipedia we from jourlnalism believe is for geuine profiles make ups.same as IMBD.anyways thank you. Page: Prachee Adhikari can you help me with that.if you have no problem than kindly help Me in that.somebody deleted Prachee Adhikari Picture & its really upsetting that why people edit an actress wikipedia page & deletes her Picture.she is a south Indian actress.I manage her Pr work & its really upsetting that somebody out of malice removed her Photographed from her wikipedia page & I dont understand How wikipedia can take anybody's request of alteration just like that.thats why many artiest even after being famoused or popular cant get place in wikipedia & this making wikipedia sometime unreliable where as once upone a time it was the one huge source of reading background & association of any personality contributing in their respective fields.kindly help Me how to make her page look good & sound professional.you can take her information from google & youtube & various other sources.that would be really kind of you if you can help Me out with it.Regards.

@Entertainmentmanager: According to the deletion discussion, the image was suspected to be a copyright violation and for that reason was deleted. You may want to take a look at our guideline on conflicts of interest: Wikipedia is not the place for PR work. Google and YouTube are not the kinds of reliable sources Wikipedia content should be based on; using them (or worse, adding promotional content without any sources, as you did) would make Wikipedia unreliable. I have fixed that and summarized what the Times of India really had to say about Prachee's performance. Huon (talk) 01:35, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Some dates for clarity on Vada project page?

Hi A93, I noticed that another user had done some edits, and the summary contained "(Vada)" so I clicked to learn more. Just wanted to suggest that it might be helpful to have some more specific information at Wikipedia:Vada. When I looked at it, it didn't say anything about when the project was started, and I thought for a few moments that it might even have been an abandoned pre-alpha or something. Anyhow, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Why not throw in some date information so that passers-by know that it's a thing you're working on today as we speak? :) Take care, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:27, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Good idea. Newyorkadam, weren't you pestering me for the dates earlier to do this? 930913(Congratulate) 13:13, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Well you said all we had to do was move the code over and fix Ross's bug before we pre-release for public... and both of those happened a week ago ;) So let's go a move on? -Newyorkadam (talk) 16:46, 26 February 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

Miss-matched <sub> and <sup> tags

I've been scanning wikipedia for instances of miss-matched <sub> and <sup> tags something like x<sup>y</sub>. There are about 4000 instances on the wiki and it would be good to warn users if they have committed such a terrible crime. This seems like something which might in bracket bots remit. I've compiled a list of offending articles at User:Salix alba/subsup.--Salix alba (talk): 06:37, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

@Salix alba: How much does this grow by per day? Is this in the realms of being fixed by, say, Bgwhite using AWB or Vada? 930913(Congratulate) 13:13, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Yea, I agree this is in more in my realm with Checkwiki. Checkwiki already accounts for discrepancies in other tags, such as nowiki, pre, source, and math. While Checkwiki won't warn users, it will help fix the problem. I didn't know how big a problem mismatched <sub> and <sub> were. I'll do some scans to get the exact number and see if the problem is getting worse. I'll reply at Salix alba's page. This page is too busy. Bgwhite (talk) 19:32, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
