Hi. Yes, I did remove those because it was a list of redlinks and the edit came from an IP address with no other edits. Though I will say that they'd have probably been deleted anyway. Now that I'm aware of what you're working towards, so I'll won't delete the stuff you're doing so quickly, but in general the "List of breweries" pages are patrolled pretty tightly for redlinks and spam. I'm just one of four currently active people who watch those. So you might consider making the list in your sandbox, getting it in shape, and then pasting it in. You might also look at the other "List of breweries" pages as a guide, starting with List of breweries in Arkansas etc etc etc. Prof. Mc ( talk) 14:18, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
I removed your edit describing what you're up to. That should go on the article's talk page.

Hello, I'm
BracketBot. I have automatically detected that
your edit to
List of breweries in Indiana 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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot ( talk) 14:29, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi IndyHomeBrewer! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Hi! I wanted to check up on what you are trying to have happen with the ref link to the Brewers Guild of Indiana at the end of the list of breweries. You had it there at one point and I moved it to the "See Also" section because I thought you wanted it as a link for readers. But I may have made a mistake. If so I apologize. Are you trying to use it as a footnote for something? Or as a reference for something I'm not understanding? Anything I can do to help, please let me know. Right now the edit just appears as a number sitting on its own, at the end of the list.
Also, if you really want a long-term, thankless task, have a look at what Beer in Alabama or your neighbors in List of breweries in Illinois have done. Heh. Prof. Mc ( talk) 12:46, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
