- The filter correctly warned you for adding a link to your own website. This is considered spam. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:06, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

- It caught the description of William Paulinha's sexual orientation. Too many new users of Wikipedia vandalize pages with possibly defamatory comments related to a living person's sexual orientation. Wikipedia takes defamation of living people very seriously, and this edit filter errs on the side of safety. If you spend a week editing unrelated pages before writing about sexual orientations, the filter will assume you are serious about improving the encyclopedia. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 22:26, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

- Your edit was blocked because it contained the word "poop". While this may have been a false positive, the article would have been deleted anyway for being on a non-notable topic. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

- The page I was moving was constructive because I was trying to remove the "user" out of the title, from "User:Chalant (Musician)" to "Chalant (Musician)".
- The page promotional and was deleted. In any case you are not supposed to move userpages of other users. Ruslik_Zero 09:01, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

- The filter only caught it because you were blanking the rest of the page. I checked, and this seems to be the first false positive caused by that page in the 3000+ edits the filter has disallowed. But I'm adding it as an exception, anyway. Anyone can feel free to reverse my change. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
