Comments: The edit-filter won't let new or ip users use words like "fucking asshole" to curb vandalism. Wikipedia doesn't censor quotes like that, but because the cited source itself censors the quote, the article is correct as it stands. —Bruce1ee^talk 04:51, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

→ That '!' was a sign of enthusiasm. I would understand this bulldog-style filtering in case of a Viagra advertisement, but in case of a serious attempt to foster the community of KiCad users... and if you're honest, every external links is some kind of promotion. Think of something else and release usable guidelines. The same goes for some moderator replies. Don't just say 'No', but elaborate what changes are needed to be 'worthy'.

Description: I attempted to edit the story for this video game series to match exactly the story OF the video game series. I was changing the current first paragraph under the Story heading to the correct storyline which is as follows: "Before the world's continents broke up into pieces, a huge disaster hit the world. People prayed to God for help, and God created new life forms. However, new life forms brought new troubles, so God became exasperated and sealed them in "disc stones". Many years have passed since then and God entrusted the humans with the secret of "disc stones". Today people still continue searching for these missing "disc stones" to unlock the lifeforms within." This is the exact text from the opening FMV of Monster Rancher 2 for the PlayStation. The information can be checked and verified by playing the game or viewing the FMV online.

Welcome to Wikipedia! Your edit has triggered an automated warning because it looks like you're trying to add an email address to this page. Doing that, especially with a personal email address, is usually a bad idea as it can attract large amounts of spam. Though there are a few legitimate reasons to include an email address, in most cases Wikipedia will remove email addresses that are added to articles or discussion pages.

Description: Add a new section:

New subject: The musicians look like humans in a church ceremony

Here I present two sources from the music and art historical literature that emphasize the naturalistic human-like depiction of the musician and the naturalistic depiction of the local setting as that of a church ceremony. 1) Reinhold Hammerstein, Die Musik der Engel, Berne 1962, pp 249-51. 2) Studies in the Performance of Late Medieval Music, edited by Stanley Boorman, Cambridge University Press 1983, p 30. The view that the musicians are meant to represent angels is widespread in the art historical literature of the past 100 years. However, arguments for this view are missing. In fact, we are confronted with a typical Flat Earth syndrome. All believe it, because all believe it. It is clear that according to the rules of Wikipedia such a belief needs to be reported. But it needs to be called a belief, not a fact. Would it be ok, if added the two references above and pointed out that Jan van Eyck was a Renaissance artist and as such strongly oriented at depicting humans and things as naturalistic as possible?

Huntsman spider (filter log)

Description

Moved section (which required "blanking section"), as summarized in my edit description: "Moved section to Cultural depictions of spiders#Modern myths and urban legends" — and per prior discussion on the article talk page: Talk:Huntsman_spider#Folklore and urban legend. This was done after creating new section specifically for this move. The section cut from the Huntsman article was pasted to the new section of the other article, and that new section was soon expanded with relevant, cited information. It was deemed that the information cut from the Huntsman article was too trivial on its own, but when combined with similar information regarding spiders in general, it could become a welcome addition to Wikipedia. It was my understanding that an edit summary description would be understood, or at least my intent could be followed to see that the blanked section was immediately moved, and not simply deleted. ~ Please inform me if there is something that I have failed to understand.

The filter can only look at the immediate edit, and cannot divine your intention in blanking a section. However, blanking a section is not always a bad thing (obviously as in this case, where it is immediately restored somewhere else). And that's why the filter didn't stop you; it merely noted the blanking. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:37, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tried a desperate workaround. Can someone with suitable tools fix it for me? Thanks. 66.127.54.40 (talk) 21:25, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The filter does not prevent you from making an edit - it merely warns you. If you were to click "save page" a second time without changing anything, the edit would go through just fine. Someguy1221 (talk) 21:42, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I promise you, I tried saving it multiple times. Please check the filter log, I just tried saving it 5 more times in a row, with no changes between save attempts. Maybe there is a software bug. If it matters, the text contains an external link, so I had to fill in a captcha for every save. But writing the url as plain text instead of a link didn't help, and I tried saving it several times that way too. 66.127.54.40 (talk) 22:32, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think we usually, or at least often, keep old templates around so that people browsing old versions of pages will still be able to see what the page looked like at the time of the diff they were browsing. That said, I've been told that it's a bug in the filter, and that it will be fixed soon, but if you use Twinkle it shouldn't trigger the filter. ☮Soap☮ 23:22, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "Missing Information" you filled in appeared to include adding the word WHORE!!! in capitals. Don't do that. Black Kite (talk) 21:55, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult to tell what the problem is without the username of the user you were trying to create. Black Kite (talk) 02:01, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The username is "Bigsean813". MJ94 (talk) 02:11, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there have been a series of disruptive socks matching that type of username, to the extent where a filter has been created to disallow it. I'd suggest you contact the user to suggest they create a different username (i.e. one that doesn't start with the 7 characters that this one does). This is probably a false positive, but the filter is reasonable. Black Kite (talk) 02:15, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is a false positive. Checkuser indicates the person making the request has no relation to the sockmaster that's the target of the filter. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 01:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The character Poison by the Capcom company is widly known as transgendered, even by the official game manual naming her as such. If this is a further issue please feel free to request documentation scans or contact the trademark holder. Unfortunately, during the time of release in the 1990s, the character was named a newhalf because of female violence on the news. To Japan, it was better to beat up a transgendered female than a genetic on at the time, :(

Description

Simply trying to add a missing information template. This filter is way too sensitive if we can't even point to the talk page to discuss whether or not to include the information the filter is rejecting.

It needs reliable sources before it can be included at all. Court records are primary sources and cannot be used in the absence of secondary sources. Someguy1221 (talk) 08:43, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What?? Since when are official court documents not considered reliable sources?70.241.73.164 (talk) 02:03, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In this case it's not just a matter of reliability but also a matter of significance. If no media outlet or other publisher of secondary content has bothered to mention that Bell is representing him, then Wikipedia shouldn't either. But on the matter of reliability, I have personally found inaccuracies in court records. People make typos, and specifically in the case of noting a defendant's attorney, I have seen court documents that continued to maintain one on the docket who had long since been fired by his client. Long story short, we don't use primary sources to report something completely novel. Someguy1221 (talk) 09:12, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
