adding protection templates to unprotected pages[edit]

Hi - thanks for bringing the vandalism/unsourced information problems at Michael Hastings to our attention. I have semi-protected the article for three weeks and a bot will shortly add the page protection notice to the page, if it hasn't already done so.

However, in the future, please note that it's pretty pointless to place {{pp-vandalism}} on any unprotected page. Page protection can only be done by admins and bureaucrats; adding the template does not confer page protection. When an admin protects or unprotects a page, it's noted in the page history for future reference, but that isn't what protects the article. It's done at a page that non-admins can't see.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks again for your participation in Wikipedia! :-) Krakatoa Katie 07:22, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

June 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Steve Biko may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"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:

Lovedale for his political views, and his brother arrested for his alleged association with Poqo (now known as the [[Azanian People's Liberation Army]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://books.google.com/
