Comment/question: Bot gave me link to wrong diff page, my errors was made on the next 2 edits (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=683759413 & https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ishmael&diff=next&oldid=683759413) - not the one provided by the bot

Yaakovaryeh (talk) 07:52, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Right, thanks for notifying A930913 about this issue. If I had to guess, I'd say the bot likely got confused because in that first edit you had a "missing title" error which it would have notified you about; you went on to correct that, but introduced the "archive-url" errors instead in subsequent edits. So the error you were notified and the edit the bot remembered as "first problematic one" apparently no longer matched. Huon (talk) 18:55, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

EdJim (talk) 07:43, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

This is a bug; the DOI error was caused by your subsequent edit, not by the one the bot linked to. That said, both the DOI error and the date error that your original edit caused (and which likely led to the bot notifying you about the wrong edit) were fixed by now.

SUGGESTION: Where your bot says: :List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page: you currently follow that with excerpted text formatted as bullet points. I would like to suggest that you replace the bullet point syntax (leading asterisk) with code text syntax (leading space) for improved visibility of the excerpt. Example:

---

StephanBorzman (talk) 03:55, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

@StephanBorzman: ReferenceBot was not posting about your math (which happened to be wrong but that's unrelated), but about your deletion of <ref name="IPCC-2001"> in [1]. The named reference was reused elsewhere on the page by only referring to the name. Your deletion caused the error message at [2]. Your edit has been reverted so the issue is fixed.

Comment/question: The robot detected I had removed a reference. I actually replaced it with another one, as the first one was referring to an interim condition and I was providing the final condition in my text. Furthermore, the original reference was actually unrelated to the comment that it was allegedly supporting, but was an article about the subject in general, and was also a link to a Daily Mail article which is not a trustworthy reference.

INeilC (talk) 21:24, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi INeilC, ReferenceBot detected that you had changed one copy of the reference, removing its name. The reference was reused in another place on the page and a big red reference error was appearing in the reference list. It was not a comment on whether the reference should be changed, only that the change caused an error on the page. StarryGrandma (talk) 21:45, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Comment/question:

I don't know anything about the terminology "ReferenceBot", "link to the diff", "unsupported parameter error", "false positive". The reference I submitted, http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/greenvilleonline/obituary.aspx?n=ralph-johnson&pid=183036201&fhid=23160 , shows information regarding the death of Ralph Johnson of The Impressions. I wouldn't know why Wikipedia shouldn't be able to accommodate that reference.

Adding someone to the list of former band members would require a reliable source cofirming that they indeed were a member. Do you know of such a source, maybe a newspaper article or a music magazine reporting on Desainis' work with the band? Huon (talk) 11:38, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
