St. Joseph's Home for the Aged (filter log)
Description
substantial adding of information to the page. I suppose the error arose because it was almost replacing the entire content originally on the page. But the amount of content prior to the change intended was little. 2006672051kang09 (talk) 12:48, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confederate States of America (filter log)
Description
I was trying to mass-replace every instance of the string "confederate" with the word "Niggardly" but for some reason it is not letting me do so. Can someone please fix this bug? I am having trouble vandalizing Wikipedia because of this filter.

Talk:Tactical Evolution (filter log)
Description
I was attempting to remove the project banner from this talk page, as the article has been merged/redirected to Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game sets. While it's mildly entertaining that I am suddenly a sockpuppet, I'd appreciate being able to make this edit and not be troubled by this filter in the future. =D 「ダイノガイ千？！」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:33, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Description
Someone keeps going onto the Jean Sasson page and stating that she is a promiment member of Feminists for Life. This is false information. Therefore I removed all references to Feminists for Life. I do not know what the group is making this false statement. Please help me to keep it off. Thank you.

This isn't a false positive - it appears that the user was, in fact, removing lots of text from the article. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:50, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not a false positive. Per Developmental disability, "Frequently, people with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, various genetic and chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder are described as having developmental disabilities." That's a lot of things besides mental retardation. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:29, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is the word "poop" so necessary? Ruslik_Zero 18:55, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. This Dadaist form of fan edit is called "YouTube Poop".[1] But that alone doesn't make the edit constructive. For one thing, YouTube Poop isn't notable yet. For another, it'd be like mentioning that Stephen Colbert incident in Elephant rather than in Wikipedia_in_culture#Wikiality, where it fits better. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 22:53, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
