editHello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 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.

- You asked about these notifications at User talk:A930913/BracketBotArchives/ 4#BracketBot - PhilipIngram. BracketBot is an automated program that merely notifies you about mismatched brackets, such as those you introduced in your reference fragment. We indeed have a policy against edit warring which states that you should not revert edits more than thrice in 24 hours - the three-revert rule. That's not, however, a permission to revert that often in all circumstances or to revert a fourth time after 24 hours and 30 seconds. What you added to the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) article doesn't deal with that article's topic at all but rather is, for all I can tell, gushing praise for an unrelated armored vehicle. Such promotional additions are known as spam and are not appropriate for an encyclopedia; edit-warring to keep that content in the article will indeed likely see you blocked. If it "will be published in the press in about a 10 days time", how do you know about it? Are you perchance associated with the company that manufactures that vehicle? Then you should have a look at Wikipedia's guideline on conflicts of interest; Wikipedia is not the place to advertise your company's products. Huon (talk) 19:58, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
