Description

Reverting a series of edits that blanked most all sources for the article. It's possible an old proxy source was among those, but there is a need to restore this to the previous (sourced) state. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked and there was an Ebscohost link in there, so not a false positive. It would have been helpful, however, if there was a way to manage within the revert process. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:47, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: If this is truly a FP, only sysops can implement the edit since the filter only excludes sysops and bots. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 22:48, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. @Tcr25: You can get around any filter (and the WP:SBL) using WP:ROLLBACK (not Twinkle). That said, maybe this filter should exclude Twinkle reverts too. I'll look at it. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Suffusion of Yellow: Something like &!(summary irlike "^(?:revert|rv|undid|restored)") might also work for now (checked against the last 5000 filter hits, looked good). Nobody (talk) 05:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would probably also reduce it to warn and/or lower sysop to a less privileged group - disallowing for everyone except sysops seems excessive. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:43, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made one small change, removing an use of rmwhitespace() that was sweeping up unrelated links together. That would have at least prevented this filter hit. There were previous objections to excluding reverts at Wikipedia:Edit filter noticeboard/Archive 9#"Unreliable source" filters; while I'm still of the opinion that people reverting page-blanking vandals shouldn't be required to fix existing problems, I got some push back to that suggestion there. The point would be moot if all of these links were removed; then a disallowing filter would be no worse than the WP:SBL. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Talk:Richard Carrier (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was responding to multiple points raised by another editor concerning improvements to what I argue is a poor lead section. Maybe the use of the word "bias" triggered this, but I did not accuse anyone specifically. If the comment veers to much away from discussing the quality of the article than I agree, but on some level I have to engage with the response that I got and explain myself.

@Ohnoitsjamie would you mind taking a look? Pretty sure this is a false positive but I don't know the history behind this part of the filter --DannyS712 (talk) 19:51, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is a false positive targeting a currently-active LTA. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:25, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Made it a little less sensitive. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:27, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Username: FootyBystander (talk · contribs) (filter log)
Page you were editing: List of Turkish football champions (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Revert to the state (April 13, 2024) before the edit war. Due to all the IP changes, some sections are present in triplicate, such as external links and much more. What's this nonsense! Don't you see that, or are you blind? Also, why is proven information removed? The Turkish version also has 28 championship titles. The edit wars are mostly triggered by IP users after a stable version. So block the IP editing in the article.
Date and time: 20:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Comments: Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references. This is a featured article and you are making drastic changes, so I would talk on the talk page. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 21:56, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Kumaon Regiment (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Few users are vandalising the Kumaon Regiment article, repeatedly removing only one section with claims that it is fake. No source provided before removing the content or source saying it is fake. Without any valid source, credible content with linked news articles cannot be removed as per the rule of Vandalism.

Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 02:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]; Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references. A False positive, but from what I see half the edit was still unreferenced. Nobody (talk) 05:30, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
