Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Joost van den Vondel may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
- List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
- }'' were written after 1650, when he was already 65, and his final play ''{{Ill|nl|Noah (play|Noah (toneelstuk)}}'', written at the age of eighty, is considered one of his finest.

Phoenicia Hotel Beirut
Hi, I saw that you moved the page for the Phoenicia Hotel in Beirut from Phoenicia Hotel Beirut back to "Phoenicia InterContinental Beirut". While I appreciate you trying to help, and I know you meant well, the hotel has not used that name for three years. For its 50th Anniversary, it was renamed just "Phoenicia Hotel Beirut". I provided a link in the text of the article to an official statement by the hotel's manager from 2012, here's that link again:
http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g294005-d299159-r134961494-Phoenicia_Hotel-Beirut.html
In addition, if you go to the official webpage for the hotel, you'll see the InterContinental name is nowhere to be seen. The Le Vendome Hotel in Beirut, owned by the same company, similarly dropped the InterContinental name at the same time. They are both still affiliated with the InterContinental chain, but neither uses the name. Best, James.Jamesluckard (talk) 01:12, 13 December 2015 (UTC
VisualEditor News #6—2015
Read this in another language • Subscription list
A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button. Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.
The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing.
The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. (T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.
Future changes
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Editing mode:".
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. (T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.
In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (T92661)
Testing opportunities
- Please try the new system for the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences. Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
- Remember my last editor,
- Always give me the visual editor if possible,
- Always give me the source editor, and
- Show me both editor tabs. (This is the current state for people using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Andries Schoemaker, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.geheugenvannederland.nl/?/en/collecties/schoemaker.
It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted.

- I had to delete Andries Schoemaker because the article was a direct copy of copyrighted material here. I think the subject warrants an article, so I hope you can create a new one without copying copyrighted material. Sincerely, --SouthernNights (talk) 14:47, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
- At first glance that other material doesn't appear to be a direct copyright infringement. BTW, I noticed this subject has an article on the Dutch Wikipedia. You could easily translate the article, clean up the language, and post it here. That's permitted.--SouthernNights (talk) 14:51, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
- It is on the German Wikipedia.
Lotje (talk) 14:54, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oops. But either way you can easily bring a translated version of that article here.--SouthernNights (talk) 15:06, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
