Comment/question:

BracketBot: re Holy Order of Mans "unpaired brackets" 4) and 5) [sic]: these are verbatim from the source text http://www.holyorderofmans.org/holy_grail.htm . Appreciate your spot-on sharp-eyed critique. I wish you well.

That's indeed a false positive. Sorry for that. Huon (talk) 22:02, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

71.191.100.156 (talk) 17:40, 2 August 2013 (UTC) what do I need to do ? thanks.

You need to give us some hint what this is about - what article? Where did you receive a message from the bot? Huon (talk) 15:40, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Gundala/Thanks!

I would just like to thank you for notifying me to my edit-gone-wrong on the Gundala page. I wouldn't have found and fixed it without your help. 71.191.233.2 (talk) 23:00, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome, thanks for fixing it! Huon (talk) 01:06, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Intention was only to bracket charlie Wilson's war, nothing else. HamiltonFromAbove (talk) 05:51, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

In the process you broke an external link. Fixed. Huon (talk) 06:42, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

OK.

Ok, thank you. Editing like that is too hard for me, but thanks the help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlitzPhoenix98 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey BracketBot I need your help, would you help me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wadood Jahan (talk • contribs) 04:54, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

BracketBot is an automated program that checks Wikipedia for mismatched brackets. It cannot hack Facebook accounts, and doing so would likely be illegal. Huon (talk) 08:23, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Ramon Novarro missing brackets—error by BracketBot

@Huon: The edit that made the two right brackets disappear was this one: [1], which occurred hours before I made my first edit to the article. I don't expect an apology but I do expect you to listen to what I tell you. Your bot "blamed" the wrong person! Aren't you curious to find out why? --108.45.72.196 (talk) 19:18, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

PS: After a second look, I think I understand better. The bot totals the number of left brackets and compares it with the number of right brackets on the whole page; if the number is equal the bot thinks everything is OK (even if it isn't). In this case, my edit removed one unnecessary right bracket, the bot saw the inequality, and wrote a message on my talk page. Right? Thanks for your time. --108.45.72.196 (talk) 19:29, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

That's roughly correct. The bot is a little smarter than that - I believe it checks whether opening brackets are followed by closing brackets instead of the other way around - but not much. So if there are two "matching" errors on a page, fixing one will likely make the bot point out the other even though it's not at all your fault. Sorry for the confusion. Huon (talk) 01:36, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Well, I don't think the bot is that smart. If it checked for an opening bracket followed by a closing bracket, it would have notified the IP using VisualEditor that he had deleted the two closing brackets. IMHO, it should be able to do that, but this time it didn't. It should work that way in every article where there's no "nesting" of expressions, like in math or maybe programming. But, that's just my 2 cents worth; I'll leave the details to experts, like you! Thanks for your time, Huon. I'm OK now. --108.45.72.196 (talk) 03:24, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
