Page you were editing: sunset (filter log)
Description: warning about advertising, warning about rapid editing of more pages regarding this link:

Sunrise/sunset, twilight, moon data for the entire world

This is not a commercial link, and I think it's relevant for the pages: sunrise, sunset, twilight, moonrise etc. ...

It's because you were continually adding links so the filter picked it up as spam. In any case you appear to be editing on behalf of a website or a company as your name is mentioned as part of the website address which is against Wikipedia policy. Blocked for that reason.--5 albert square (talk) 17:16, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: superbowl rings (filter log)
Description: i went to talk and feel my website has a lot of important information to contribute that is not currently at the wikki page.

here is the post I attempted to ad:

I agree, pictures of the losing rings are an important part of the story too. I have a website that shows detailed pictures of winning and losing rings. Additionally, I show ring presentation boxes when available and I have shed light on the fact that the superbowl III Colts did not receive rings. I show the watch they received. I confirmed for the ring community that the Steelers broke a decades-old tradition and did not receive rings in their superbowl XLV loss to the Steelers. I would like to have my site included in the superbowl entry, however, it was Yanked, probably by other ring collectors with an agenda. Please visit my site and/or let me know how it can be included. it is www.sports-rings.com and please view the superbowl ring gallery for pictures of winning and losing rings, their shanks, and presentation boxes and inscriptions inside the ring.

Thanks for trying, the filter probably was triggered due to your large removal. In any case the vandalism has been reverted by someone else.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:27, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tried rewriting the post a bunch of different ways. Didn't help. 67.119.3.105 (talk) 07:47, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still looking for how it was triggered, but the filter is warn only. If you simply save the page again without touching anything else it should go through fine. Someguy1221 (talk) 09:52, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That didn't help, pressing save again just gets the same message. 67.119.3.105 (talk) 16:26, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Gentle Giant the Pop Years (filter log)
Description: Adding a concert where I attended and describing the show, I forgot to cite it and was trying to add the citation.
Date and time: 17:36, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Comments

It's because you ended the edit with a feeling "stole the show", I think this may be the cause as the filter triggered was 491. I'd also suggest that you read WP:RS as you seemed to be trying to use yourself as a reference as well and that's not acceptable on Wikipedia. If you read the reliable sources guide you'll be able to find out what is and isn't a reliable source.--5 albert square (talk) 17:24, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your not logged into Atban3000. Your editing from a IP adress and your trying to blank a users talk page that isn't yours. The edit filter is designed to stop new or ip users from blanking someone elses talk page. If that is your talk page, you need to log into Atban3000 to "clean content", thank you. --Webclient101 (talk) 18:58, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Bongwarrior (filter log)

Description

I attempted to edit a section concerning the protection of the page for Jared Padalecki; there is an event organized by actor Misha Collins that involves teams of people across the world editing Padalecki's page, which was construed as vandalism by Bongwarrior, who protected the page. I was adding a potential solution when I was informed that my edit had been considered nonconstructive.

Not a false positive. Take your GISHWHES nonsense off Wikipedia, please, and the page will not be unprotected. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:54, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Reaper Eternal. User warned. --Webclient101 (talk) 19:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Filter tweaked slightly because it shouldn't block discussion of the protection of GISHWHES targets for vandalism. Still not a false positive, however, and GISHWHES nonsense will remain blocked across all articles. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:17, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a false positive, but it's understandable: that's inappropriately off-topic for a userpage (potential BLP violation at that).--Jasper Deng (talk) 16:30, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you blank the users page? Because if you did, the edit filter did not have a false positive. It tags or disallows IP users or new users from blanking another users page.

Bad faith report (per recent filter triggers). User warned for triggering and for personal attacks. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 19:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Riley, I'm sorry if I'm making a mistake, but I didn't see any personal attacks in the IP's filter triggers. --Webclient101 (talk) 19:20, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Webclient, if you could bear to look for a moment, you would see that I was correct in trying to blank this user page ("did I blank the users page?" of course--that's the nature of this report); it has since then been deleted as a copyright violation. You want to check on this: we take these seriously. Riley, you're a fool, of course. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 21:29, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
