[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to BBC Sussex 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:
  • *[[Dave Cash (disc jockey)|Dave Cash]] (Saturday evenings - simulcast with [[BBC Surrey]], [[BBC Radio Kent]], [[BBC Radio Solent]], [[BBC
  • *[[Paul Miller (radio presenter)|Paul Miller]] (''[[Paul Miller (Radio Presenter)#The Paul Miller Show|The Paul Miller Show]]'' - weekday late

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 11:11, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copy and paste moves

[edit]

Hi. Reverted your copy and paste move of BBC London 94.9 as that is not how to move articles. The problem with doing this is that it loses the whole history of the article being moved. The correct way to do it is to move the article, with its history, to a new name. I'll verify whether the move is correct and try to move it if it is. --DanielRigal (talk) 18:34, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have confirmed the name change. The old name needs to be deleted before I can move the article. I have requested this. --DanielRigal (talk) 18:43, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
One of the admins has deleted the old name and moved it now. If you look at it you might not see much difference between this and what you did but if you go to the History link you will see that the full editing record of the old article is preserved so everybody gets their correct credit or blame for what they have done in the past. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:14, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@DanielRigal: Thank you for fixing the page redirect. I did try to move it using the 'Move' function but it didn't seem to work and instead the article somehow got duplicated on both the old and new names. --Robert Williams (talk) 19:25, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
