Date and time: 11:33, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Comments: What you were trying to do isn't a correction - it's replacing a term ("gay man") with an insult ("faggot", "queer"). And the phrase "nigger loving" is also an insult. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:11, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Set (mythology) (filter log)
Description: Under the subtitle "Set Animal" there was a link to "Main Article Seth Animal" that redirects to "Set Animal" I thought for the purposes of internal consistency and avoidance of a redirect I would correct the link. An automatic filter prevented this action.
Date and time: 00:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
Comments: While this has nothing to do with the filter in question, I'd recommend that you read Wikipedia:Redirect#Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:10, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I did, and I will try to avoid anything like that in the future. The redirect was secondary to the edit, however. Would you explain why matching the spelling was unhelpful?

Comments: The currect way to create a redirect is to start the line with a number sign (#). And there's no need to justify the redirect creation with "Alternative version of name". See here what the redirect should look like. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:46, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have done the edit for you. Please note that there's no need for you no place the content here - the edit filter makes it visible to all who know where to find it. And this is a false positive, since it thought you were adding the words "FUCK YOU" to the article - if this were true, it would be a clear red flag of BLP vandalism. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:17, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Racism in sport (filter log)
Description: I tried to add some relevant quotes from an article about racism in Australian rugby but my edit was halted as it was assumed to be vandalism. The words were already on the page but they were censored, so I felt it was only right to change them to the actual words as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_censored#Wikipedia_is_not_censored . Thanks!
Date and time: 13:51, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Page you were editing: Eat, Pray, Queef (filter log)
Description: Simply illustrate that in this case the "feminist double standard" holds no water. If obscenities are an issue then I fully understand my blocking. However, my underlying point is a very valid one and I feel deserves equal opportunity for public portrayal as the feminist viewpoints projected in this article. The reception section was hardly a "neutral, and unbiased point of view" to quote Wiki's own diction.
Date and time: 07:16, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Comments: You shouldn't be copying a response that long - it's a copyright violation. And yes, the main issue the filter caught was the obscenities. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 19:51, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Benefits (How I Met Your Mother) (filter log)
Description: I was clarifying a plot point that the character Marshall is using Ted and Robin's restroom to have a bowel movement instead of doing so at his workplace. This plot point could have been confusing due to the later mentioning that Barney thinks they were referring to "reading a magazine" as masturbating in their bathroom. This point is slightly vague when watching the show, so I felt it necessary to clarify in this Wikipedia article. I used the simple vernacular "poop" instead of going through verbose language such as "relieving his bowel movements" or "depositing fecal matter" for clarity.

Section on the psychiatric evaluation of the 2011 Norway Attacks perpetrator flagged as possibly unconstructive

Page you were editing: 2011 Norway Attacks (filter log)
Description: Attempted to add sub-section on perpetrator's mental health, referencing the expert opinion submitted by the court-appointed forensic psychiatrists. How can this be flagged as "unconstructive"? The question of the perpetrator's diagnosis is at the very core of the ongoing proceedings in Oslo District Court, and I definitely think it is appropriate to mention it along with the other information given about his motives in this section.
