Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to William Edwin Orchard may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"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:

Wikidata weekly summary #125

Duplicate journalists

I saw you conversation on User talk:Charles Matthews#Duplicate journalists so I went ahead and merged the two articles (well spotted). I chose to place all the text into Marchamont Needham because that was the older of the two articles even though it was the more poorly sourced. I then moved it from Marchamont Needham to Marchamont Nedham because the former is the name used by the DNB while the latter is the name used by the ODNB (per Charles's advise). I have not been particularly diligent in the merger and I have not cross checked it with the DNB or the ODNB. So there is still plenty of work to do if others choose to do it ☺ -- PBS (talk) 19:26, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! He's a bit out of my comfort zone in terms of period and topic, so was procrastinating on actually doing the merge :-)
The project CM and I have been working on is this, trying to match up ODNB entries and Wikipedia/Wikidata entries. (Currently on 23800 matches, a bit over 40% - please do have a go if it looks interesting! The little [G] link next to unmatched is the auto-suggest game mode). It's quite good at highlighting possible merge cases like this, though there's reassuringly few - I've only spotted a handful so far. Andrew Gray (talk) 22:52, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the invitation. I am busy on articles relating to the Waterloo Campaign as the 200 anniversary is approaching, so that is my main focus when not fire-fighting. When I have finished (which will not be for months), I'll wander over as see if I can help. -- PBS (talk) 13:11, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
