Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to M2 Browning 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:

Disambiguation link notification for February 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Religion in Carthage, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Patricia Smith (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.

Citing references

Hi - when you add references, an url isn't sufficient. You can read WP:CITE but if your setup is like mine, above this edit window where I'm typing is first a menu that has a large B, and italic I, etc and at the end has a dropdown menu 'Cite'. When you drop that down, and the next line there is a dropdown menu for templates which you can use. For books you need title, author, publisher, year published, ISBN and vitally page numbers. You always need titles, dates where relevant, authors when available, journal title if it's a journal (and the page numbers of the article, you don't normally need individual page numbers as you do for books). Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 09:18, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Please read the article in question

It says "A number of lifestyle factors are known to be important to the development of type 2 diabetes, including obesity (defined by a body mass index of greater than thirty), lack of physical activity, poor diet, stress, and urbanization. Excess body fat is associated with 30% of cases in those of Chinese and Japanese descent, 60-80% of cases in those of European and African descent, and 100% of cases in Pima Indians and Pacific Islanders. Those who are not obese often have a high waist–hip ratio." Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 16:57, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
