edit
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Sally Quinn may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. 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.

typo
editI have no problem with this edit, but your edit summary says it was a typo fix? —valereee (talk) 22:22, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, Valerie! None of the options for what I did seemed to fit. But you're right, "typo" isn't the exact thing I did. —Mike Bevel (talk) 13:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- No edit summary is better than a misleading one ... you can always type your own. Re your message on my talk page, yes, well now that I think about it Wikipedia doesn't strive to be *neutral* exactly, but more a careful reflection on what reliable sources say on a subject. I think the previous wording was better for that. Also compare the opening to [[Adolf Hitler, which I think is a model for this sort of topic, despite Godwin's law. Graham87 02:18, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Master Graham, may I consider the Adolph Hitler page read in the person of my agent (you)? I have looked at enough weird things on Wikipedia that I fear the portrait of me in my attic is starting to disgust itself. Thank you again, and you, too -valereee, for your suggestions and patience. —Mike Bevel (talk) 11:02, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
