[[Translation]] (filter log)

Description

I translated a German article but the software does not allow me to publish it. It says it is not 'constructive' but for my view it definitely is.

Description: changin the following paragraph cause it's barely readable: Suction pumps, a special devices for lips work the way they work for penises, using vacuum pumping to increase blood pressure in each lip and to pull them out a bit, making it quite an instrument to adjust proper lip length/value in a slow determinite step-by-step way. My change: Suction pumps, a device similar to the one used for penis augmentation; it uses a pump to create a vacuum that sucks the lips and increases the blood pressure, making them really red and swollen.

Page you were editing: Giacomo Casanova (filter log)
Description: A paragraph details Casanova's love for sexual activity with 13 year old and 9 year old girls and originally begins 'Casanova also loved very young girls'. I was attempting to change the beginning of this sentence to say 'Casanova was a paedophile'. This is a constructive addition as this paragraph goes on to prove that Casanova definitely was a paedophile - he loved having sex with pre-pubescent girls...children.

Dysmenorrhea (filter log)

Description

I was trying to eliminate a sentence saying that Dysmenorrhea was common between 20-90% of young women because when i checked the sourcing, there was no evidence of it being stated, and even when I ran a "Dysmenorrhea "20%" " through google there was no evidence that any statement of the such existed. Therefore, some idiot pulled it out of their asshole and I was trying to clean up their mess.

@Wikiwikierwiki: Try making the edit without including the phrase "some idiot pulled it out of their ass" in the edit summary. On a further note, be careful not to say stuff to or about other editors that could be construed as a personal attack. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:20, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Nazi Gun Control Theory (filter log)
Description: For several weeks, I have been attempting to improve this page by offering the perspective of the proponents of NAZI Gun Control Theory and by explaining the historical context of NAZI Gun Control, how gun control policies are used by authoritarian regimes to acquire, maintain and expand their domination of the political, military and social aspects of society, which is exactly how Hitler used gun control in the NAZI Reich. As it is now, this page gives the reader the impression that author's goal is more to make a mockery of the idea that NAZI gun control policies are in any way similar to gun control policies in other countries that either are/were tyrannical or may be on a path to becoming tyrannical, rather than to actually attempt to discuss and understand what NAZI Gun Control Theory is and how it impacts society and social policy. My numerous attempted contributions to this page were well cited and were written with the intent of making the information on this page more balanced, more accurate and more informative, by presenting the views of the proponents of the theory alongside those of its opponents, rather than allowing the article to remain a platform for primarily anti-NAZI Gun Control Theory expression while NAZI Gun Control Theory itself and its implications remain suppressed. Each time I have attempted to edit this page to show the side of the proponents, my edits are removed almost instantly by what appear to be full time curators who appear to be either strongly biased in favor of aggressive gun control/prohibition of private ownership of weapons, or in favor of neo-NAZI policies, either of which is entirely possible, as there is currently a very aggressive and widespread internet-based propaganda effort by both neo-NAZIs and by private weapon ownership prohibitionists. It seems these full-time curators, such as the user by the name Grayfell, have mastered the art of manipulating Wikipedia and using it as a means of disseminating their propaganda. This tactic seems to be pervasive throughout many categories of wikipedia pages, especially when the material on those pages pertains to Neo-NAZIism, anti-semitism, anti-Israelism, Imperialism, and European and American Party politics in general, which is not surprising considering the history of propaganda related to these topics. I hope you will carefully investigate the history of edits and censorship (conducted by means of undoing all revisions that either present a difference of opinion or factual information that contradicts the narrative presented by the propagandist curators) on this wikipedia page and others like it. If this pro-NAZI, anti-Jewish, anti-Liberty, anti-Democracy, anti-Right to Bear Arms ideological bent continues to persist and worsen across many different wikipedia pages, it will be necessary to expose this problem and seek restitution in the media, in the court of public opinion, in universities around the world and in courts of international law.

Page you were editing: User_talk:Od_Mishehu (filter log)
Description: I was attempting to discuss previous false positive and the problem of censorship on the NAZI Gun Control Theory page with a Wikipedia administrator on their talk page. Apparently this also triggered a false positive for the filter. This seems to be getting a bit ridiculous. Why has this happened, again? Why can't I even discuss why I am getting a false positive filter without getting another false positive from the filter? How can you fix your filter setting so these false positives do not keep constantly recurring?

Comments: The purpose of the filter you triggered is to warn you when you make edits that remove the categories from a page. The best solution was to leave the categories on the page. They are there for a reason. However, I may take a look into the filter hits to see if an exclusion from when a user removes a redirect is in order. -- The Voidwalker ^Discuss 00:59, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Luann (comic strip) (filter log)
Description: I was adding a bit more detail to the paragraph about Prudence, to indicate that she is the first openly-professed gay character in the strip, although there was deliberate ambiguity surrounding other characters, such as the Fire Captain. I thought it was noteworthy and helpful, as this is the first time an openly gay recurring character has been featured in this 25 year old strip. (Opinion only... I thought Greg Evans broached the subject with Pru and the girls' reactions to Pru's news in a very casual and laid back manner. Well done!)

Page you were editing: Talk:Die Hand Die Verletzt (filter log)
Description: I was trying to add a new section to the talkpage which challenged the unsourced claim, found several times in the article itself, that a witch or satanist character in the episode would be "the devil incarnate", where I debated why there is no indication whatsoever found in the episode in question that would justify such a claim, and that while the character certainly seems to worship the devil, they are clearly two different characters. The character is not even possessed by the devil, she only worships it, consults it for advice, and uses satanist magic.
