Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Jonathan and Darlene Edwards may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"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:

Since we have television appearances, a magazine interview and a radio one, do you think the Television section should be titled something like "Media appearances"?

That's interesting, because I never knew why Avakian was so bent on the name of Jonathan Edwards! Dick Whittinghill went from being a Pied Piper to a long, successful career in LA radio, so he knew them both quite well from those years. He was well-known for his on-air jokes and parodies. Let me see what I can get done here now that RL has quieted down a bit for today. :) We hope (talk) 00:33, 3 September 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-09-03T00:33:00.000Z","author":"We hope","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-We_hope-2013-09-03T00:33:00.000Z-We_hope-2013-09-02T22:02:00.000Z","replies":["c-We_hope-2013-09-03T01:10:00.000Z-We_hope-2013-09-03T00:33:00.000Z"]}}-->

PS Since the clip of the Shower of Stars is not under copyright, would it help to get some screen captures of Jack Benny & Ed Wynn trying to "sell" the song to Jo & Paul before they go into Jonathan and Darlene? It looks like this is the only video of them as the Edwardses; haven't seen any sort of copy of the Garry Moore show.

Hi. I'm trying to learn about how exactly editors use the Wikimedia sites, with accessibility tools like screen magnifiers. I found one of your comments about using a screen magnifier, hence this personal request. Please see the short list of questions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Accessibility#Visual impairment - what settings, software, or other tools are used to compensate, and if you know of anyone else, help me get the word out to other editors who might be able to give comments on this?

Primetime Emmy Database search BEST FEMALE SINGER - 1955-nominee.

The search used to be more directly visible and was done differently. I had it linked on some Como pages and need to check re: some other people who worked with him to see if the link is there and if so, change it.

We noticed though that when you edited Paul Weston, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Joe Haines (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

The other day, someone made a mistake on the Como article. It would probably have been easy to fix if I hadn't kept getting told about the otr ref being blacklisted. This was before the damn bot ran, so I had no idea other than being told I couldn't save the page because of the blacklisted link. :-)

While looking for a replacement for the Johnny Mercer's Music Shop link, I found that there are about 4 volumes of transcripts from the show now recorded and sold.

The only thing I can think of re: OTR links is that they sell copies of the old radio programs on the site. I had to remove them from many Como pages and one from Red Skelton, as there was a link there for his Avalon Time radio show. :( Do we have a board or center for questions about banned links because this makes it hard for those who work on articles about the old radio shows?

Will get hold of links for the Music Shop material and hope that if some have to be from Amazon, that it's not banned now too. ;) We hope (talk) 22:02, 25 September 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-09-25T22:02:00.000Z","author":"We hope","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-We_hope-2013-09-25T22:02:00.000Z-We_hope-2013-09-25T21:12:00.000Z","replies":["c-We_hope-2013-09-25T22:37:00.000Z-We_hope-2013-09-25T22:02:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi, I'm JD3rulo. The thing is that I'm a huge fan of Jessie J, I have made changes in her page, but other users have removed them, replying that the links I referred to don't belong to reliable sources. So I'm wondering if you could dedicate part of your time in helping me to fill some topics that are abandoned, such as Jessie J's vocal type, range and also writing updated news about her career lately. I hope you can help me, cause it seems Jessie's page has been forgotten.

I'm not going to get into a discussion of *if* reverting "good faith" but incorrect edits consititutes "3R", but I will say that using the "3R" threat is a standard crutch for those that have WP:OWN issues. Continued reverts of clearly correct edits to clearly incorrect edits does not fall under "3R" because it is correcting vandalism.

Now... "In Popular Culture" is a synanym for "Trivia". Properly title it or get rid of it. And, please note that while "trivia" is (some people say) "discuraged", it is not disallowed. Why do you think there is a "Trivia" tag? There are two - and only two - proper choices: Properly title "Trivia" as trivia and tag it with the "trivia" tag, or delete it.

Calling what is clearly trivia "In Popular Culture" is what is called "disigenuous" because it is a specific attempt to include trivia without calling it "Trivia". They are the same thing.

Why not be honest? Why be disigenuous?

The "high road" at Wikipedia would be to get rid of all trivia - that is, "In Popular Culture".

I realize that I have strong opinions about "trivia" vs "In Popular Culture". I believe they are essentially the same thing. I know that "trivia" is "discouraged" (note the quotes), yet in fact in reality it is not actually "discouraged", it is simply renamed "In Popular Culture". Are these not the same thing? Generally they are. I say: Accept trivia, or reject it, don't rename it.

I don't object to "trivia". But I think, as I said before, that engineering around the "dirtiness" of the "Trivia" title by calling trivia "In Popular Culture" is disingenuous and really, dishonest ( only slightly less ugly than "disingenuous" ), and not up to the high standard of quality content that Wikipedia should strive to. Call content what it is. Or, if it is "non-encyclopedic", get rid of it.

Honesty. That is they key.

I apologize if you interpret my words as "rude", it's not meant that way. I'm not a great communicator.

Further to your edit summary. Trivia sections are discouraged; and most of the information in that section is unverified anyway, so there's a strong argument for removing it completely.

As I've made very few edits to the article, I can hardly be accused of WP:OWN, and might I suggest you read WP:CIVIL before your next posting. guidelines. A trivia section can contain other information, apart from references in popular culture, and tends to be a magnet for factoids that people want to insert, but can't be bothered to find somewhere in the main body of the text.

You are talking in circles. "In Popular Culture" contains the same trivia and Trivia. Synanyms. Same content, different name. You can't have it both ways and be honest with yourself.

Now, I'll tell you this: I can stop changing "In Popular Culture" to the more accurate "Trivia", but I certainly will not stop adding the "trivia" info box tag. It's trivia. Think it through.

And, yet again, "trivia" is "discuraged" in one or two "policy" discussions. But NOWHERE is trivia banned, dissallowed, officially verboten, or otherwise defined as persona non grata. Therefore it is allowed. But, it must be properly titled if we are to be honest and accurate about the true nature of the content.

By the way, when issuing "3R" nastygrams, keep in mind "it takes two to tango".

Not at all. It's a general comment to those who abuse the "3R" issue and turn it into an uncivilized threat, which is used WAY too often (with all the "stop sign" graphics and everything else that scream "I know better than you, so stop doing what I don't like!!!") by cabals of "editors" who like to throw "power" around to achieve their personal views. Such "editors" often resort to what is known as "Wikilawyering" to smother alternative views in an avalanche of arcane rules and "commentaries" (not unlike Torah commentaries) to smother out views that they disagree with. Interestingly, most of the time these "warnings" are dished out without consensus or discussion. Many people get fed up with the "social cliques" of the "high powered" Wiki editors that "shout down" alternative views, and so they simply leave. This is a disservice to Wikipedia.

Significantly, along these same lines, I see you have decided not to comment on the actual subject, but instead become "offended" at an unrelated side issue. Please consider that actual subject, which is "trivia". Again, "In Popular Culture" is a synonym for "Trivia", exactly by common definition - and indeed by actual content - they are the same thing. Are you willing to think about this idea with an open mind and discuss it? Good day.

My question actually referred to the final comments you left on my talk page re the so-called "nastygram", but never mind. The template you complained about isn't uncivil, but really a heads up to say "do you know you're edit warring?" and "if not, then check out these links". Edit warring catches out the best of us. I once got blocked for it, so I wouldn't want to see it happen to someone else who didn't know about it. Now chill out and stop getting stressed about this.

Johnny, I see this is now the third person's changes you've reverted on this page. I'm going to leave it as it is, but I strongly suggest that you refrain from altering it again if someone else changes it. I see you've recently been in trouble and blocked for edit warring, and despite your claims to the contrary, this looks like classic edit warring behaviour to me. Of course you are entitled to make changes (that is the whole idea of Wikipedia after all), but what you shouldn't do is engage in an edit war with someone if they do not agree with your changes, and/or attempt to cherrypick from phrases in the guidelines that you believe support your point of view. You were not correcting vandalism the other day, you were merely reverting something because you didn't happen to like it. I seriously urge you to think about what you're doing in future.

Hey Paul MacD, how are you? I've missed your GARs – but then I could always get around to returning favours sometime, I guess ...

Anyway, I've got a real strange one here ... If you're not too busy, would you be able to look in at User talk:Quadell#mirror images? It's regarding a new Harrison biography, which – well, it basically rips off Wikipedia's Harrison album and song articles. Mighty strange, mighty true, and mighty weird.

What I'm hoping is, you might want to follow the link from Quadell's page and hit "helpful" on my Amazon review for the book – which I've signed as "HariG". In the interests of drawing attention to this issue – which, the more I think about it, is really concerning and far-reaching – I'd simply like to ensure that the review is helpful=popular enough to register in the listing's main space. Quite understand if you'd rather not of course (but I hope you do!). Many thanks.

Hi again Paul. Just wanted to say thanks for your message and your support with this issue. I think the next step, apart from looking into some of Quadell's suggestions, is for me to write to the publishers with a detailed list of all the (let's be charitable …) overlaps between the book and the Wikipedia articles. What a drag – every time I look at it, I see something new ... Oh, and I don't want you to think I was suggesting you should be doing GARs again, by the way. It's high time I did some reviewing, given all the help I've received – and how at times I've had five or six song articles contributing to the backlog!

Hi, I have included a well sourced incident concerning Gabriela Isler in her article. Now another user who is a evident pageant fan and huge fan of Isler removes the sourced material. And he also left me a quite nasty message at my talk page. I might be wrong but I think Wikipedia should not censor material even if it does not favour the person. Perhaps a change of the "controversy"name or similar would do. We have other Miss Universe winners articles which includes similar material of incidents such a Leila Lopes. Isler is a public figure now and tweets about a president is notable in this context I think.

I'm not personally familiar with the case, we don't seem to have had much news coverage of it here in the UK, but news has been dominated this week by the Lambeth slavery case among other things.

The Wayback Machine is now offering "Save Page Now" and will archive any present internet page if the site allows crawlbots. Unlike WebCite, there's no need to give an e-mail addy, but you'll need to bookmark the pages you archive because Wayback Machine doesn't send you a copy of the link.

WebCite hasn't worked for me for a few months, so thanks for the link. I just tested it out by archiving the url for this BBC story and it's working really well.

Didn't know WebCite wasn't working. Quit using it after it made my A/V go off whenever I tried to go to the site to archive. Is there somewhere we could copy the information re: Wayback's page archiving so others who'd like to use it would know it exists?

Not sure if it's actually stopped working or whether it was just me. It seemed to coincide with upgrading to Windows 7, after which I couldn't get it to archive anything, so I could've done something wrong. We have a how-to guide for the Wayback Machine, but it looks like it's a bit out of date. I don't know if there's a WikiProject that covers this sort of thing, but it might be worth asking at WP:HELPDESK.

If I remember correctly, WC had said in its fundraising that if it became necessary to shut down, it would maintain the database, but just not allow any new archiving. You can try testing it like this without going to the site:

• http://webcitation.org/archive?url=urltoarchive&email=youremail

• replacing urltoarchive with the full URL of the page to be archived, and youremail with your e-mail address.

WebCite's article mentions the "Save Page Now" on Wayback; I think the Internet Archive article would be about right with a new section on their archiving feature, which started at the end of October of this year. We hope (talk)

Just did the section I spoke of above on the Internet Archive article.

Thanks again for the link. I had better success using it this way. The article Most storm-hit homes 'to get power back on Sunday' has archived here, so it looks like it'll be usable until they decide whether or not to freeze it. I think mentioning this at the Internet archive article is definitely a good idea.

If they do shut down, I think your new WebCite would be fine, as they promised to maintain everything there prior to that point, if it happens.

That's good, I wouldn't want to have to search for and re-archive everything again. :) I've just been looking for a possible date when it might close, and came across this discussion which you might find interesting. It looks like WM have proposed taking the service over, although I don't know if that's happened.

Seems like there's been no new talk since September. See that there were server issues and they were in the process of moving to another one at Amazon.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014 in British television, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ITV (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Google Newspaper Archive has moved to Google sites:

• News Archive

site:google.com/newspapers "the Berlin wall"-example of how to now locate old newspapers. Search is now done through Google web and not via Google news as it was previously.

Even though these newspapers have moved, any links to them in use remain the same.

And you can imagine my sinking feeling when I thought the old links might not work :) We hope (talk) 20:44, 30 December 2013 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-12-30T20:44:00.000Z","author":"We hope","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-We_hope-2013-12-30T20:44:00.000Z-Forgot_to_leave_you_this-","replies":["c-We_hope-2013-12-30T23:02:00.000Z-We_hope-2013-12-30T20:44:00.000Z","c-We_hope-2013-12-30T23:04:00.000Z-We_hope-2013-12-30T20:44:00.000Z"]}}-->

Ever since they decided to stop scanning newspapers, the search has been difficult. It's also been limited in the number of hits it will display. :( (Am hoping we get some news archive subscriptions here because of that.) Google Books also hasn't been working right for some time, especially for searching magazines. Going through Billboard used to be easy; now it's a chore to try to "beat" what you're looking for out of it.
