Page you were editing: Yang_Rui (filter log)
Description: Was trying to revert the series of edits by 221.220.21.232 that removed a lot of *referenced* material from the Yang Rui page that could be interpreted as casting him in a negative light; possible self-edit or edit by a fan?

You can't blank a userpage from an IP account. However, since that page is unconstructive anyway, I have deleted it. Black Kite (talk) 00:30, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Page not specified
Description: on the page the ten commandments it is no where mentioned that the commandments in exodus 34 not exodus 20 are called the ten commandments by the bible. i simply added how it is that the church has it wrong. it was said to be nonconstructive. if you truly consider this to be so then this website is perpetuating a lie.
Date and time: 20:45, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
Comments

To be fair, if you're going to add a huge rambling sentence like that with little puinctuation or grammar, it's little surprise that one of the automated filters picks it up. You didn't include any sources or citations either. Black Kite (talk) 11:56, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Username: Mjb1824 (talk · contribs) (filter log)

Date and time: 00:30, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, this is a false positive. Suggest the edit on the talk page and if it's valid (I'd presume it is) someone autoconfirmed will add it. Black Kite (talk) 11:59, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Username: Dpc47 (talk · contribs) (filter log)
Page you were editing: [[1]] (filter log)
Description: I was updating the rank column on every line of the primary table to fix a sorting error reported on the talk page. I'm not sure why I was blocked - maybe for changing too many lines? Frustrating.

Yes, a false positive, I have reported it to the filter manager. Black Kite (talk) 12:00, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: na ana is des laado (filter log)
Description: i am trying to revert this page back due to extreme vandalism. more than 21000 characters were removed recently, the information was very useful and clearly lots of hard work went into it. I would like for the information to be restored before the vandalism and I will clean it up. It is shameful that some user thinks its okay to delete so much, his account should be flagged please.
Date and time: 00:58, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Comments: Your edit wasn't precisely what this filter was intended to stop, but that doesn't mean your edit wasn't a bad one. A quick review shows that the 21,000 characters that were removed were an enormous plot summary, which is not permitted in Wikipedia. Please see WP:NOT#PLOT.—Kww(talk) 01:46, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Description: In the section "Toni Braxton feud" I was trying to replace [sh--] and [f---] by the actual words shit and fuck, as it is not the task of Wikipedia to censor foul language. For obvious reasons this caused the filter to block the edit.
Date and time: 18:56, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Comments

It should be fairly obvious why the filter is rejecting these edits. I suggest you make them on the talk page of the article s that a registered user can fix any issues. Black Kite (talk) 23:51, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was adding portraits on many different pages to bring more illustration. Some of these pages didn't even had any portrait of the concerned subject. I thought that this would help to improve the quality of wikipedia content. Thanks for your understanding and to let me know what I actually did wrong. Kindest regards, Anais Chaine

Page you were editing: Page not specified
Description: Wikipedia removed the Duke Conover entry from its system but it remains on the web and still can be edited. To that end, I am being defamed by anonymous rogue writers. If Wikipedia is not allowing it to be published, it should be removed from the web. The edit I have done simply sanitized the piece to basic information from the original.

Page you were editing: The Bishop's School (Pune) (filter log)
Description: Made grammatical corrections and other changes including adding the name of the honor awarded to the winning house in an academic year. The honor is called the "Cock House". I believe the usage of the word "Cock" has identified the edit as potentially unconstructive. The name of the "title" or "honor" can be verified on this website : http://bishopsboys.com/goldendays.htm

The title is mentioned under several house photographs.

Page you were editing: George Rosenkranz (filter log)
Description: I was making a number of edits to the page, and using preview to see the effects. They appeared fine. When I tried to save, it told me that it wouldn't save because the page referenced something from archive.i* (something) which was not an acceptable source. It wasn't anything I had changed, BTW, it was a link that was already on the page. I removed the offending URL, and tried to save again, and it told me that it couldn't save the changes because they weren't a "constructive edit". Now it cycles between the two states. Short of trying to add a bogus URL, which doesn't seem like the best idea, I'm not sure there's a way I can save this.
