The only edit filters you have hit are on User talk:46.32.121.206, but, from your description, appear to be a different problem. As an IP address, you cannot create pages. You can create a page if you create an account, or click here to create a draft. Add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft when you are done writing. -- The Voidwalker ^Discuss 23:29, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Mort Sahl (filter log)
Description: In the 1980s, I hosted a public radio program about comedy for KCRW in Los Angeles. I have a website repository of many of these programs, which I make virtually no money from. I was attempting to add links to my page to the Wikipedia entries for some of the people with whom I conducted lengthy informative interviews. Some such links (Stan Freberg, for instance) have been active for years now, but I've recently added a lot of shows to the site.

@Bobclaster Not a false positive: works as expected, tagged as COI. 86.22.8.235 (talk) 18:56, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Christopher Hatton, 1st Baron Hatton (filter log)
Description: If the tag of multiple obscenities is anything to go by, it looks like the bot is assuming that adding the link to Sir Ralph Assheton, 2nd Baronet, of Lever is obscene, presumably based on the first three letters of the bart's second name. Adding the link, with a misspelling as "Asheton" allows the edit to go through, but this needs to be corrected by a registered user.

Page you were editing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bartolomeu_de_Gusmão (filter log)
Description: i tried to add a section to the discussion, listing a few problems with the page, here is my edit

this article needs a major improvement, if not rewriting <- the name of the section

at the very end it should be proven with quotes that:

>Bartolomeu Lourenço de Gusmão (c. 1685 – November 18, 1724) was a Portuguese priest and naturalist from the Colony of Brazil, noted for his early work on lighter-than-air airship design

i'm sorry but it is completely unclear that passarola was a lighter than air airship. it was already mentioned on the talk page, neither description nor its original image mention any way to provide it lighter than air lift i.e. no balloon or anything. it is quite possible that passarola was a project of a heavy than air glider/plane

the only mention that he made a balloon comes from a source which was written more than 60 years after his death and after the flights of brothers montgolfier, as an attempt to claim that a portuguese was the first balloon inventor

>The vessel was to be propelled by the agency of magnets which were to be encased in two hollow metal balls.

this idea of its supposed magnet engine certainly needs an explicit description and quoting

>Developing the ideas of Francesco Lana de Terzi

francesco lana had a project of a vacuum airship and it is pretty clear how his flying boat was supposed to fly. if passarola had vacuum metal balls like francesco lana's airship it would be obvious that de gusmao used lana's idea, but those two rather tiny balls on the illustration were apparently supposed to contain some magnets...

p.s. i solved the problem myself. before you say it wasn't false positive, i remind you that i didn't edit the page itself, if i did i would write properly, i wrote a goddamn comment on the talk page and to force me to use capital letters which i hate using simply to write a comment about some article is silly and abusive. may be you should consider laxer rules for the comment pages

Luke Newberry (filter log)

Description

I've tried 4 or 5 times to revert back to a clean version, I had stated in the edit summary "rv - all legit edits will be readded back", I've usually done this if a page has been messed around with but all legit edits are readded back immediately soon after but anyway I've never had this issue before so not entirely sure if it's a bug, something new or what, Thanks
