Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Brontë family may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "<>"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it.

Boy Capel roadside memorial citation

Hi, there's a photo of Chanel's memorial to Capel (now restored) and details of wording here:

http://www.tombes-sepultures.com/crbst_1093.html

I know I should enter the citation myself but have forgotten how. It's been a while. ~~ RLamb (talk) 14:31, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

I've made a reference. Thank you! The Terrible Mutant Hamster (talk) 23:54, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for entering the citation! Erm...I see a citation was also requested for the assertion Capel was a former pupil of Beaumont College? There is a Beaumont College website which refers to him as one of its Old Boys, and I tried to add it - basing my attempt on your own citation - and nearly deleted a paragraph. Perhaps it's because I'm working on a tablet. Anyway if you want that URL it's:

http://www.beaumont-union.co.uk/great-war.html

I don't intend to sponge on you for future edits though, I'm going to try to re-learn. (For one thing I'd like to delete the reference to Capel dying in a 'motorcycle' accident -The Times report of his death makes it clear he was in a chauffeur-driven car when a tyre burst. I promise to amend that as soon as I can add the citation.) RLamb (talk) 03:43, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, was a bit busy. I have made a citation, it's no problem. I enjoy editing Wikipedia when I have a free time. I changed the text of The Times citation, copying from the French article. They cite the same article but have "an automobile accident" instead of "a motorcycle crash." I have no access to the original The Times article and wonder which citation is correct.

Citation error: Miller 2013

Hello. With this September 2017 edit you added a citation {{sfn|Miller|2013|p=203}} which is still causing an error in the Emily Brontë article: Miller 2013, p. 203. sfn error: no target: CITEREFMiller2013. I see a 2002 citation to Miller: Miller, Lucasta (2002). The Brontë Myth. Vintage. pp. 171–174. ISBN 0-09-928714-5. but no 2013 reference. If you indeed cited a 2013 work, can you add the details? Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 19:38, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

My my, it took me 5 years to correct this error. And now I see I forgot to make citations in another Bronte articles too. Thank you! Already corrected Emily's article. I will likely change the edition of Miller's work to the one available at Archive.org [1] The Terrible Mutant Hamster (talk) 22:20, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
