Maybe the filter thinks pooling is a variant of pooping or pooing ? If so, there must be somehting in the code that I can't see, because it doesn't look like it should match, but I don't see any other explanation. —Soap— 01:42, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Do you have a lot of these edits to make? If so it would be best for me to get the filter changed ... in fact it should be changed anyway because otherwise other people will havwe the same problems. —Soap— 01:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the plot summary is long enough already (see WP:PLOT), however that's not the edit filter's job to judge.

Yup, this is a filter problem. Based on a similar request above, it seems to be catching on an innocuous string; I'll redo the edit for you. —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Dittobori)} 02:02, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note, I believe it's catching "pooling" only, because it thinks that li is a variant of i (just doubled) and thus that pooling is a variant of pooing. Just about any other word with a double o should be fine. —Soap— 02:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree with you, Soap, except that "pooling" isn't in the lines he's adding. "bloodflow", however, is. —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Dittobori)} 02:49, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pooling is present in those edits, because the MediaWiki software considers the whole paragraph to be part of the "added lines" content variable, even though it isn't in the words that the IP actually wrote. The paragraph contains the sentence His size is actually caused by a large amount of blood pooling in his gut from overeating. near the top; I'm pretty sure this is what's tripping the filter and that words that have an l or an i before a double-o will not trip the filter. —Soap— 18:44, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the edit filter isn't capable of telling whether someone is reverting themselves or not, or whether the categories being removed were added recently or not. If it were possible, that would be a good idea to prevent false positives such as this, but other than that I can't really think of anything. But please don't feel that you're being watched suspiciously because of these filter hits; most of our highly active users have tags like that, including myself, and we understand that it does not indicate you are a problem editor. However the filter exists because people who really are vandalizing or making accidentally destructive edits will often remove all of the categories from a page, which not only un-does other people's work but makes it harder for other readers to find the page. —Soap— 01:19, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a filter that blocks out most instances of "your mom" in articles.

Description

With an edit self-deleting my own comment(s) to a usertalkpg as redundant, I tripped filter 34. It requested 'confirmation you're sure', so I again clicked save. It reported it disallowed anyway. As all their banner content remained it seemed odd it tripped a page blanking filter, but that doesn't matter much. So, it's not a false positive in that there was (self) text removal, but the filter should either allow it on 2nd attempt if it's going to ask for user confirmation before it will do so, or disallow it on 1st attempt.

Agreed; the comment turned out to be a useful heads-up for them anyway, so it's probably...serendipitous it wasn't deleted. I figured I may as well report the confirm-disallow thing anyhow. 92.30.83.244 (talk) 23:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible to allow a user to blank someone else's talk page if the text they're blanking contains their username or IP address, but that would mean that they could blank anything so long as it contained their signature ... however, most of these cases could in turn be stopped by a check on how many bytes are removed. So it would be possible for most edits that just removed one paragraph by just one user to be removed by that user, but not most long conversations. I think this is a good idea, though I wouldn't feel comfortable making a change like that without discussion because this filter has been around for a long time and I suspect the idea has occurred before and for some reason not been added yet. —Soap— 16:52, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that text should be removed. I will remove it now. It looks like a few "Mr Stabby" related things are on the filter and because of the way MediaWiki works, even when you remove text it still considers it to be "added text" as long as some of the paragraph remains. So this is the very kind of false positive that we are trying to prevent, and I will try to find a better way to keep track of "Mr Stabby" without causing false positives (first I will find out why it is on the list in the first place). —Soap— 20:45, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a false positive, yes, because it's tracking the word "bastard" and "RACIST" even though they're being used legitimately. However I'm concerned that this news story doesn't even seem to appear in any other news source, so while I would have no objection to adding the edit if it were true, I'm too hesitant to do it based on just that one source which isn't a mainstream news outlet and doesn't seem to have its story reflected anywhere else. —Soap— 13:32, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, maybe you should take it to the talk page of the article, and attempt to dispute the legitimacy of Scotlands top selling newspaper there?

And I have to add the information back in myself after someone deleted it? Gee, thanks wikipedia!

Well, My objections are this:

1) It's not a reliable source by itself ... almost nothing only covered by one newspaper is.

2) The story was actually about him denying that it happened.

3) It was in 2001 (although I didnt realize that when I wrote in here yesterday).

But it's not up to me; if you want to get the content into the article you should go to the talk page and see if other people agree with you. But please don't just add it in of your own intent, or it will be removed either by me or someone else. —Soap— 22:46, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So every entry into an article has to be approved on the talk page before it is inserted, with references backing it up? Gee, things sure have changed around here...

Also, so an article from 2001 is somehow objectionable? I must remind myself never to post references from articles written in the past decade. How silly of me.

Yes, anything that isn't covered by the small list of exceptions here must be referenced, and anything that is disputed should be discussed on the talk page before being re-added. If you think there are problems with this policy, such as that it would permit someone to add {{cn}} to statements like "The sky is blue"., situations like that are generally covered by other policies even if it may not be obvious at first; for example someone who insisted on adding superfluous {{cn}} tags to sentences like that would be told he was violating WP:POINT. —Soap— 23:20, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems you've already changed your username to get around the filter. Which works, and is not forbidden by any means, though you should put on your userpage that you were previously editing as User:Hollanddavis. That leaves only the issue of whether your albums are notable enough to pass WP:MUSIC, which based on the WoW release I think they may be, but it would be good if you could verify the information and clear up some of the potential confusion (was the first album released 2002 or 2006?). Also it is common to merge all albums into the main article for an artist if they consist mostly of just track listings. —Soap— 21:19, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm a french canadien and I has an account in the french section of wikipedia and I want to explain a problem. I talk about that here because I can't do it at another place. My article was deleted for no good reason, it was not about genealogy, but information on a family association already exists for 21 years and has members in three different countries. I was insulted to see that I have not deleted anything I can do, besides it was barely begun. I want denounced the abuse of power by administrators of wikipedia, even if there is perhaps nothing will. I have been expelled since I dared to create a page nagging administrator who deleted my page without asking any questions. I hope you can fix the mistakes you have committed. I am not alone in this situation. Several pages all at is in good standing are removed, and pages like the word "FUCK" stays there. I am disappointed with the lack of organization and justice.

Alright, I've fixed two of the three to ignore {{wi}}. The third one was too arcane for this mudblood to figure out, so I haven't messed with it for fear of breaking it. —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Dittobori)} 08:30, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For a complete re-write of a page like this, you should first start a discussion on the article's talk page rather than doing it all at once without discussion, particularly if your edit removes large amounts of referenced content, as this is the only way that readers can be sure that what they're reading is true. —Soap— 22:19, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it looks like you were replacing one welcome template with another welcome template. But these templates should always be "substituted" by typing them as {{subst:welcome}} and the like, which will prevent them from accidentally deleting the master welcome template if they should decide to remove the welcome notice by clicking the section edit link. If you used the "subst" method, it would not trigger the filter. However the filter that was triggered was not related to the subst function, but to removing content from another editor's talk page. In general, removing content from someone else's talk page will often trigger this filter; if that user is you then you could log in and perform the same edit. —Soap— 20:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure this is a copyright violation? At least some of the text seems to be unique to us and much of the rest appears only here and on sites that look like they've copied from us.

Yeah, that was the "1 copyvio section" I spoke of above. There are other problems that occured around the same time though: All the images uploaded and added to the article by an account named after someone involved in one of those projects constantly referred to in the articles. So, the articles do need a big overhaul sooner or later, possibly involving the removal of a lot of more or less directly self-promotional text. Anyway, thanks for removing the copyvio section, that was the most pressing issue. --78.34.195.112 (talk) 17:49, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's possible to make this filter exclude cases of a user editing one's own talk page, but it would also allow true vandalism through, and I think in this case it wasn't really necessary for you to capitalize.

This particular problem crops up once in a while, as it did here, but there's no easy fix other than that which would allow people to vandalize others' talk pages by removing content. Even the fix I proposed in that report would have its own problems. However, we're not ignoring the issue; there just is no easy solution. I've done the edit for you (certain long-term users can override the filter; that's why I'm here). As for the sequence of warn-disallow, it's part of the software, not unique to this filter, and it makes more sense in the cases where you can easily change your edit to fix the problem that was setting off the filter, and although I agree it's a problem for not just this filter but several others as well, again, there's no easy solution.

Description

To properly identify the source of an email-based newsletter, I cited the email address as the author within {{cite news}}. Technically, the filter worked as designed since I could accept a cookie and it would allow the change after another attempt to check it in. Nevertheless I'm noting it as a false positive in order to demonstrate that there are legitimate reasons for including an email address. According to Special:AbuseFilter/247 notes, "id=" was added as an exception...perhaps within cite templates the use of an email address with "author=" should also be an exception.

Doesn't sound like a reliable source to me. An e-mail address is not an author. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. It would be fair to criticize it as a WP:PRIMARY source, but in the case of television networks and production companies, other primary source documents, such as press releases, blog posts, etc. are commonly used. It would be better to use an official online archive of newsletters, but withoutthat, it's valid to cite the company's email address (from in the newsletter) as the author, and important to do so as that improves the source's verifiability. 72.244.206.133 (talk) 00:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, an email is not a reliable source because it was never actually published. It's not just better to use an online archive of newsletters or emails (some mailing lists publish all emails on the web), it's the only way to do it. An unpublished document is fundamentally unverifiable. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:31, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP policy makes allowances, with caveats, for such a source. WP:SOURCES#Sources addresses this topic in general; within that section, WP:SELFPUB is directly relevant. Feel free to challenge the policy at at WT:V. The point made here is that Special:AbuseFilter/247, a filter rule under test that was triggered by the edit mentioned above, needs to be refined to better align it with policy.

In general, it is not necessary to place several exclamation points at the end of a sentence. Anyway, if your article creation attempt had succeeded, it would have been tagged for speedy deletion per speedy deletion criterion A7 as an article about an animal that does not credibly indicate why its subject is important or significant.

Kha (filter log) (redo)

Description

All the other Cyrillic letters have the title "..._(Cyrillic)", where the ... is the letter. There is no need for a redirect page. Read Wikipedia:Redirect

I tried moving the page "Kha" to "Kha_(Cyrillic)" because, as stated above there is no need for a complete different title format from the other Cyrillic letters. But, while i tried moving the page :to "Kha_(Cyrillic)", I accidentally misspelled to "Kha_(Cyrillic" :[

So, when I tried fixing the typo, it read:

"An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and it has been disallowed. If this edit is constructive, please report this error."

Please understand this situation, and do not consider my actions as "vandalism" as many admins consider accidental mistakes. Thank you for your time :D

Yes, the edit filter was seeing some vandalism in the edit summary that wasn't there; it had nothing to do with the page moves. I apologize for that. As for the actual page move, one of the pages will have to be deleted first; I've put Kha up for deletion and will check back in the morning if the admin who deletes the page is unsure of which page to move the title to. As am I, because looking briefly I don't see a pattern of all of the Cyrillic letters having the (Cyrillic) after their name; are you sure about that? (As a side note, I actually could have undone the move myself if I hadn't been confused by the three different pages. But now that I've edited Kha, it can't be undone.) —Soap— 01:25, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Kha was deleted and I've reversed the move, putting it back where it was. Now I'm willing to do the move, but I think it may be that the reason those other pages have (Cyrillic) in the name is because they have other meanings. And Kha is not the only one without the modifier; there's also Sha, Shcha, Yer, Kje, Short U, and most of the lesser-used letters in the second half of the table. I understand the logic you're using, but I think we should either move all of them or let the ones that don't have secondary meanings stay at the shorter titles, because they're easier to link that way, and the titles that have (Cyrillic) in the name can always redirect to the short titles. —Soap— 12:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Description: My knowledge of template syntax being admittedly weak, I was seeking a way to make sure that the Fiqh template would move down the page along the right-hand side rather than move to the left. The experiment didn't work, and I tried to revert it. The system wouldn't let me. I'll admit that my edit summaries were rather flippant ("let's see" on the original edit and "nm" on the attempted undo), but that's never been a problem before.

The code that was in the template before uses a CSS function that is occasionally used to vandalize a page, and so its use is restricted except on a few templates that are for the most part uneditable. However this function is almost never useful on regular, in-line templates. Because it's a template, I can't easily see what it looked like before your change; would you say that it looks worse now than it did before? To me, I don't see any problems on the articles that it appears in, but that may be because whatever caused it to move to the left on your screen is dependent on some other setting that I don't have. —Soap— 11:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your wanting to help but the content you were adding was already addressed by making wikilinks in the main text. In general this sort of redundancy isn't necessary and can make the page load slower on slower computers. —Soap— 15:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Filter 135

I just noticed this edit: [10] The anonymous user nicely added wikilinks around a single phrase and "Filter 135" tagged it with "repeating characters". Not only is this unneccessary, but it is very BITEy. I notice the filter which I normally find useful in catching simple vandalism has a number of comments on it about false positives and problems. Can it be improved? Rmhermen (talk) 17:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I could add a line so that it wouldn't tag the edit if the line being edited already had repeating characters in it to begin with. I think the only reason that this hasn't been done already is because this is a tag-only filter, so there is no warning message and no inconvenience to the editor making the edit other than that it may draw attention to a particular edit they make. So I don't have anything against making that change, but I think it's occurred to other people to do it before and they just haven't thought it was necessary. —Soap— 19:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it's the word pedophile that's setting it off, though it really shouldn't be if the word was already on the page, which in this case it was. That explanation doesn't make sense, particularly since other users have been editing the page, and even that the word pedophile was introduced by an IP back in August, when the filter was more or less the same. I'll keep looking at this. Also we don't generally put "spoiler warnings" anywhere on the page; that's been debated for ages and decided against. —Soap— 10:23, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
