Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Capital City (TV series) may have broken the syntax by modifying 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.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • solid research.<ref name="HER">Cochrane, Hugh. 'A great gamble as the full-page ads run on', in "[[The Herald (Glasgow)|The Glasgow Herald", Glasgow: 4 October 1989</ref>

The article Michael Halsey has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 05:00, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Your contributed article, The moneychangers 1976 Mini-series

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, The moneychangers 1976 Mini-series. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – The Moneychangers. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at The Moneychangers. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 08:49, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Moneychangers (1976 miniseries)

[edit]

Hi, I have created the page The Moneychangers (1976 miniseries) as the existing The Moneychangers page deals with the novel of the same name by Arthur Hailey. Whilst reference is made to the miniseries in the latter article, I believe the additional content warrants the mini-series being given its own, separate article. This is in line with the treatment given on Wikipedia to Hailey's other novels - Roots and Hotel - which both have separate articles for the novels and the associated miniseries/TV series. There is very little information about The Moneychangers miniseries in the public domain so I hope that myself and others will add to it over time. Please consider updating the title of the existing The Moneychangers page (which deals with the novel) to The Moneychangers (Novel) to differentiate between the articles. Thank you.
