Thanks for the welcome. Just trying to make accurate changes and updates to Wikipedia. I'm still very new to editing but I hope to fix my page up shortly. The Armchair General (talk) 17:35, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to International Association of Athletics Federations may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"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.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• s track and field team from entering the Rio de Janeiro Olypics.<ref name="Associated Press">[[cite web |title= IAAF upholds bans on Russian athletes for Rio Games |url=http://www.bigstory.ap.
• |date= 17 June 2016 |accessdate= 17 June 2016}}</ref>

Michael Weiss article

Much appreciate your note. Always glad to meet an editor who deals fairly with BLPs. Not always easy when there are COIs and possibly sockpuppeting. cheers, Coretheapple (talk) 20:31, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank-you very much

Your endorsement is much appreciated, TAG. I still think we were on the right side of the argument, but that's the way it goes, sometimes. Best Regards. Motsebboh (talk) 01:59, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree with you. Apparently the SPLC has a lot of admirers and will protect them from criticism even when it's appropriate. It also won't stop them from disregarding the rule's they're citing, to protect the SPLC, in order to pepper groups the SPLC doesn't like with criticism. However, it is not worth arguing with everyone on the back end. Even if your argument is grounded in facts, challenging everyone will only lead people to become more guarded and cling to their initial opinion. TAG (talk) 16:46, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
