Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Duchy of Lancaster 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.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Hello, I'm Oshwah.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:40, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello WriteinEnglish, may you be surrounded by peace, success and happiness on this seasonal occasion.

Introducing yourself

Hello WriteinEnglish and welcome back. Your copyediting improvements are much appreciated, but please don't post to Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion: as stated at the top of that page "This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Centralized discussion page.", i.e. the page has a very restricted function and is not a venue for general discussion. Your "Introducing myself" passage would belong well on your own userpage which is blank at present. If you spot glaring errors in articles you are welcome to fix them yourself or if you seek other opinions then post on that article's talk page. For any further queries you have I'd suggest returning to the Teahouse. Hope some of this is helpful: Noyster (talk), 08:05, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cecily of York, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Source. 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.
