Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Aleksander Griboyedov 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.

December 2013

Hello, I'm NeilN. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of unusual deaths, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Your Jeff Bush addition was unsourced. NeilN 22:55, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to List of unusual deaths, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NeilN 23:01, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

NeilN - I have not added any link to my Jeff Bush and sinkhole death entry, since I have provided the person and place name and type of accident and any internet user can verify the info him/herself. As to the adjective "unusual" - I have not found references to his death, stating the death was unusual, but there is talk of "an unusual sinkhole". Besides, if you regard this type of death, when one is in bed and suddenly your very private and precious bed is swallowed up by the ground as usual... strange. Have you deleted all of my entry? Would I have to write all of it again? Ivonna Nowicka

Hi Ivonna. Content on Misplaced Pages must be verifiable with the editor adding material providing sources and not just saying "do an internet search". Entries to that particular article are very, very closely scrutinized and are often contentious. Your entries are available in this version of the article but I strong, strongly recommend you discuss them on Talk:List of unusual deaths and wait for input before re-adding anything. --NeilN 23:35, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Stop

In order to add an entry to the article you must provide a source that specifically describes the death as "unusual". --NeilN 23:04, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited RMS Titanic, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thomas Andrews (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
