Hello, Yes that WAS a parsing error, I noticed (someone reported similar error in talk page of my bot a while ago), I fixed and I'm writing the correcting bot, and because I have put some quality control units(!) in my code, the death place has to be a geographical feature (P107=618123) or doesn't have P107 which the latter happened here. So I need to make my bot to be more precise.
I need to add, task of my bot is harvesting information from infoboxes i.e. turning human-written data to machine-processable data, and this bot is working in a very large scale (It has 5.3M edits) so It's not a strange thing that bot makes some error

Hi Andy,

There's a problem with Dexbot adding bogus values.
For example, place of death = "Welsh People" on the entry for Catrin Collier (still very much alive):

Since I have no broadband, due to an ISP failure, I can't post about this on-Wiki.
Looking at the source: | death_date = <!-- {{Death date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|1948|MM|DD|df=y}} --> | death_place = | residence = | nationality = [[Welsh people|Welsh]]
Probably parsing error here. Amir, can you have a look at it? Is this standard or custom code doing the template parsing?
