Eric Burdon (filter log)
Description
Editing unnecessary censorship

In the "Influence" sub-section, there is a quote from Bruce Springsteen at SXSW 2012 in which he said the riffs for Burdon's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and his own "Badlands" were "the same fuckin' riff, man". In what I interpreted to be a completely unnecessary gesture, which nonetheless may or may not have simply been quoting it as a news article had written it, the word "fuckin'" was replaced with "(expletive)". I was editing it back to its proper, unexpurgated state, not vandalizing it.

Date and time
18:35, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Comments
Yes, that was unnecessary censorship, but I went and removed the entire section since it's wholly unreferenced. Someguy1221 (talk) 19:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Description
I do not want to make a published edit. I do NOT claim the following source to be true and correct (dailymail.co.uk). My sole intent was to note that in the online Monday, July 30, 2012 edition of the dailymail.co.uk, they claim the famous beatles crossing at abbey road photo took place on 29 July 1969 - not July 8th as the Wikipedia article states; however both Wikipedia and dailymail.co.uk agree on the time of day of the shoot . I'm just curious which date is "correct", and didn't know how to otherwise bring the issue to your attention.
Date and time
04:24, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Comments
The edit filter was tripped because you tried to add text after the categories and interwiki links. I'd suggest raising this issue on the Abbey Road talk page. —Bruce1eetalk 04:45, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was editing this page legitimately, I was adding instructions for unregistered users. Here is my added text:
Extended content

If you are an anonymous (unregistered) user, substitute these instructions for step II above:

{|width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4

|| <div style="font-size:100%;width:12em;max-width:30%;float:left;margin:2px 0px 2px 0px;border:1px solid #ffcc00;padding:.1em;text-align:center;background-color:#ffff99;">Fill out the below form to request creation of the deletion request subpage.</div>  
{{clear}}
Fill out the following form (replace "ARTICLENAME" with the name of the article you want deleted):

{{clear}}
Replace "Reason" with the reason you think the page should be deleted.
|-<!--

{{Clear}}
Press the "Save page" button at the bottom of the edit window.
|}

My edit was not "template vandalism". It appears the edit filter is a little bit buggy. Wikipedia's users are aware of this problem and the problematic filter should be disabled.

I made the edit on your behalf. If someone reverts it, you can defend your contribution on the template's talk page. I'll leave it to someone else to figure out how to prevent this false positive in the future, since I'm not big on template filters. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:43, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ash_(Alien) (filter log)
Description
i was trying to change the following lines:

an act which is both an echo of the way that the alien "facehugger" infests its victims,[1][2] and a sexual symbol of phallic penetration and rape[3][4][2] by an android that, even if he did have a phallus (which is not specified in the film) would probably have been sexually non-functional.[3][5]

to

if he did have a penis.

Since phallus is an erect penis or a depiction of penis and penis is exactly what it is.

Date and time

Comments
To prevent vandalism, the edit filter stops IPs from using words like "penis". I'd suggest asking whether "penis" is preferable to "phallus" at the Ash talk page. —Bruce1eetalk 11:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's best not to blank someone else's talk page without consensus. The filter prevents new and unregistered users from blanking someone's talk page. Electric Catfish 23:30, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have reverted a large number of IP edits on the page per WP:BLP, I presume this is what the OP was trying to achieve. There is no need to get consensus to remove BLP violations, especially if those edits were not by the user concerned, and was apparently attacking the user concerned.

I can't remember the guys name, but it's the guy who does the voice of Dr. Robotnik in Sonic The Hedgehog. In a famous scene, he catches two guys eavsedropping on him and says, "Snooping as usual I see," but puts emphasis on the "ping as," in a way that makes it sound suspiciously like "penis." Later, "Pingas" became a phenomenon on "This Video Contains X" and "YouTube Poop." I tried to put that in, and it identified it as unconstructive. Please help!
