If you believe you have found information in an article which is inaccurate, and it is unreferenced, you can remove it, but be careful not to remove the navigation templates at the bottom which help people find the article. Additionally, any content you wish to add needs to be referenced to a reliable source, or else the article will be in no better a state than when it began. The third paragraph of the text you were adding is especially not usable because it is written in a first person voice, much like an advertisement.

Sorry for the trouble, you should be able to continue your editing now.

Comments

When a user changes a paragraph, the MediaWiki software sees it as deletion of the entire (old) paragraph and addition of the entire new paragraph. There is currently no way to get around this limitation. Thus, when a user edits a paragraph containing certain watch words, the edit filter will see it as possible vandalism. It is possible to check edits for instances in which the watchword text was present in the original, but this does not always work, because the filter uses an "all or nothing" type of system. That is why this tag is only considered possible vandalism. —Soap— 18:43, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I've seen this false positive come up before. Are you sure the !!!! is wrong? It does seem when I use preview that it just makes a single cell with exclamation points in it, which would be presumably wrong. Either way, I've made a temporary change to the filter (it can be changed back later) that will allow the !!!! through. —Soap— 19:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

bit.ly is banned for the most part, even when it is not made an active link, because of people using it to link to prohibited or unwelcome content.

I see you making important changes in almost every section. This filter is only set to 'warn', not to stop you, so if you're sure the changes are correct then you can go on to make the edit and not worry about being accused of vandalism. —Soap— 20:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

For this and for other vandalism, your account has now been blocked (not by me). However, as for the filter that I presume you're reporting on, you should never add emails or other contact information into an article, even if they're your own, as people come to Wikipedia to learn about various subjects and not usually to communicate with people about them. It is still discouraged even to put such things on your userpage however because we have no way of preventing unwanted communication by those who browse the pages collecting names for various purposes. Also you should never copy directly from other websites. —Soap— 11:19, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I've deleted the whole sentence as I don't think it's really relevant. In the future, though, you should use the talk page to bring up disputes rather than writing directly in the article. People who do cleanup patrol will often want to get rid of any out of place comment like that, irrespective of what it is, and will consider repeated insertions of it to be vandalism, especially if the person is also removing other content. —Soap— 19:45, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I believe you, but there isn't a way to get the filter to know that. It isn't a dynamic system where we can just tell it to "ignore" certain users. You shouldn't worry, though. Nobody browses the filter logs looking for pages to delete ... the regular page patrollers do that, and for the most part they don't even see the edit filter logs. Strictly speaking, the tags are still correct, anyway, because they indicate a person creating a page about himself, which you are. The page has been deleted twice now, but the edit filter isn't responsible for that. The page was deleted because it doesn't credibly assert your notability. —Soap— 21:03, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I've removed the message for you. It's not possible for the software to tell that you're the same person, because the IP's are only 'similar', not the same. I apologize for the inconvenience. —Soap— 13:19, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

It would be better if you could make a list of IP's that you've used rather than submitting a separate report for each one. I would be happy to clean the talk pages if you do that. It's not really possible to change the filter in a way that would allow 'similar' IPs to be seen as the same because it sees the IP address as a single unit. —Soap— 13:28, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it's really reasonable to use WP:AGF to argue for the deletion of this filter. We have the false positive reporting system to handle cases like this, but removing the filter entirely would mean that none of the 11,000 or so examples in which the filter was correct would have been stopped. —Soap— 13:30, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

It's the FUK .. the edit filter sees it as a variant of, well, you probably know what. I'm not sure it's a good idea to remove that from the filter permanently, since some vandals'll go to extreme lengths to get around the filters, but a short-term removal should be okay. Do you still have the edit text saved? —Soap— 21:15, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I have also put "underconstruction" label there as many Chinese cities are yet to be included there.

All of a sudden I cant copy paste at wikipedia, is any software/filter preventing that too? its working ok at other sites.

No, that's not the filter's fault. The filter can't possibly have any affect until you click on the "Save page" button. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:48, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

The process from taking the exam to a) receiving your result takes up to eight weeks (nine weeks in my experience in 2010). From passing to sending them your formal application, I sent it via email which was acknowledged within one day, however four weeks later received and email to say it was actually being reviewed and confirmation of review would take a further eight weeks!!!!!

So four months from taking an exam to actually being formally accredited?? I called their main office and one of the reasons for this length of time was given......"to have a level of consistency throughout this process those people sitting the CISM exam in counties which don't have easily accessible pc's need not be disadvantaged." That's fine, my only concern is those people (and they were unable to give me an exact percentage) sitting the exam, I would imagine will have far bigger priorities in life rather than sitting an CISM exam????

If you believe you have found an inaccurate statement in an article, you should bring it up on the talk page rather than writing in the article itself, as any commentary will be removed regardless of what it is. However, this sounds like personal experience to me and I'm not sure we can use that even on the talk page. —Soap— 09:07, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

This happens almost every day. Your recommendation has been brought up before, possibly more than once.

This content is unverified and will probably be removed, but the edit filter isn't aware of that. It was preventing you from saving the article because you typed all of the headers in capital letters instead of using sentence case surrounded by == == signs, as is used on the other articles. Again, though, I'm not trying to be harsh, but sentences like Meanwhile, Spain Heard about this miraculous virgen and decided to bring a big virgen dell to Otuzco and top out the little virgen into the heart of dou and the story ten sues that the scar son the wodenheart magically close and al of the people napped stated to warship the virgen acound the world.

Thanks, I've removed the page content for you.

I am working for the unofficial site debasedtothis.org and we wanted to have a wikipage after being online for 2 years. It's under Debasedtothis and I believe that it in no way should be a problem.

You or someone related to you has created the page twice and it has been deleted twice; this is not due to anything from the edit filter, but because the article makes no credible claim that debasedtothis.org is notable. However, if you want to edit other articles on Wikipedia, you should remove the "Skype Toolbar" which is inserting formatting into pages that shouldn't be there, and causing other people to have to work to remove it. —Soap— 09:48, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I will not be using this site again, because of your decision to make the new skin mandatory, this leaves less room for content, and more room for advertising, meaning you don't care about content anymore, you only care about money, several wiki's I use have already left the site and set up their own page, I have bookmarked these to avoid having to get to them through your greedy site.

Thanks for forgetting why you are really here.

Go fuck yourselves. Sell Outs.

I'm not sure you really understand what you're upset about. The content of Wikipedia is free, so your vow to "not use this site again" isn't going to take anything away from us, unless you've donated to us in the past and are now deciding to do so no longer. If that's the case you may want to write to the foundation, since they're the ones who deal with the ad banners. Note that the people who edit Wikipedia are volunteers, not paid by the Foundation, and being angry at us is only going to make you look less educated and give less weight to your opinions. —Soap— 14:41, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

This particular filter gives us a lot of false positives. But they aren't a result of bad coding, so much as entries deliberately added to keep particular vandals with predictable editing patterns away. Although, as I said, it does give us a lot of false positives, I have several different times seen an edit being stopped that I was sure was a false positive, because it didn't look like vandalism, and then later found out that it was working properly after all.

We don't generally add mottos to school articles, or signature songs, unless the song itself is something that receives attention from those not affiliated with the school.

I've added a line that will cause it to ignore edits in which the article title is contained in the lines the user is adding; this should catch most of the false positives. Not necessarily all; for example it wouldn't see "Bill Clinton" and "William Jefferson Clinton" as equals, and there is unfortunately no way to get the filter to run on last name only or first name only or both. —Soap— 17:23, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

This filter turns up a lot of false positives, and there isn't really a good way to fix it. Sometimes a temporary fix can be added, but other times we just have to push the edits through manually. In this case, though, it seems to be a test edit that doesn't add any useful content and removes some that is useful, so I don't think it should be pushed through. —Soap— 17:41, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

The filters will tag anyone editing an article and inserting a link to a website with their username in it. So really, this is not a false positive and the filter is working as it should. To be honest, my first instinct is to remove the links you added along with some similar links that were already in the article, but I will leave that for a second opinion as they don't seem to really be actually commercial websites. However, someone else may remove the links, and if they do so, you should talk with them before attempting to add them back in. —Soap— 14:48, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

This particular filter gives us a lot of false positives. But they aren't a result of bad coding, so much as entries deliberately added to keep particular vandals with predictable editing patterns away. Although, as I said, it does give us a lot of false positives, I have several different times seen an edit being stopped that I was sure was a false positive, because it didn't look like vandalism, and then later found out that it was working properly after all. But even so, some of the watch words are too easily triggered by innocent edits and have had to be removed. I can't tell which kind this is going to be so I think the best thing for me to do is to alert the person who added it in. —Soap— 12:06, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean with your comment up above. Generally, though, whenever you load up an edit box with a number that looks like it might be a phone number, the Skype plugin will change it automatically into a call-able link unless you uninstall it. That doesn't mean it will happen on every page, just if it appears in the edit window. —Soap— 15:20, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

The filters will tag anyone editing an article and inserting a link to a website with their username in it. So really, this is not a false positive and the filter is working as it should.

It seems that it was reading strings like 's butt as an insult (different from merely being obscene).

This is due to a rare bug that sometimes prevents edits from going through when several different people are repeatedly editing the same page with edits that are denied by the filter.

If you add a link to a40deepstrike.com, which contains your username, the filter will point that out. It is a machine and thus not capable of making a judgment as to whether a particular link is good or not, it just notices your username. You should not have to worry about people being suspicious of you, but if you are, you may want to change your username (or just make a new account), as the website you're linking apparently contains an online store and your username could be seen as on the edge of being promotional (regardless of your intentions). —Soap— 07:07, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I suppose so, I'd want a second opinion before exempting though. Note that your theorem is wrong, because the four color theorem allows "point borders" to be the same color on both sides, as you can see in the example map File:Four_Colour_Map_Example.svg. (If it didn't allow point borders, you could just take a circle and divide it into 360 segments that meet at the center and say that you'd need 360 colors to appropriately color it.) —Soap— 12:42, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Are you reporting the filter that triggered on the links you added? Strictly speaking it isn't a false positive because it correctly detected that you added a series of links to your own website. However I understand different people may have different reasons for so doing, and that not all of them are promoting their business. The edit filter is a machine and is thus not capable of making a judgment as to whether a particular link is good or not, it just notices your username. You should not have to worry about people being suspicious of you, however, as anyone editing an article about themselves will be noticed by others for other reasons.

I will tune down the filter, but it may be restored later. —Soap— 18:53, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Groups on social networking sites are generally not notable per the notability guideline which states: "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Unfortunately there are no sources based on this group. So you'll have to wait until they receive any media coverage from any new sites or stuff like that.

If you would like to create a piece of information based on the same name as the article then don't replace the entire content with it.

This happened over a year ago and the filter has been changed quite a bit since then. It's not possible to remove the entries, if that's what you're asking, though I urge you not to worry, because most long-term editors have tags like that in their filter logs, and anyone who tries to make lesser of them for that reason will be told that they're wrong. —Soap— 10:14, 27 October 2010 (UTC) Well, someone is after me, Soap, that's why I bothered to post there, thanks for looking at and for telling me it isn't anything!KeptSouth (talk) 10:17, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

This filter is in a testing phase, and the reason for the lack of a warning is because it may turn out to not be such a good idea for a filter, and to warn people for making good edits would be counter-productive. Again I apologize but there is no way to remove that entry from your filter log, just as I can't remove the entries from my own filter log or anyone else's. —Soap— 10:17, 27 October 2010 (UTC) Thanks again - good to know that.

He/she was editing the Mumbai article. Minima c (talk) 14:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, and the filter was stopping it because it was "a large change to the featured article of the day". But I can't get the diff to load to see if it was a good edit or not. Given the user's other edits, though, I'm guessing that it was at best a test edit and consider this to be not a false positive unless someone shows me I'm wrong (in which case I apologize for the assumption). —Soap— 15:22, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Page you were editing (don't wikilink): Palestinian People (filter log) (redo)
Description: I was correcting a statement that did not reflect its own citation. The statement alleges the "widespread" use of the word "Palestinian" to describe the self-identification of the then Arab inhabitants of Palestine prior to WWI. While this nationalist concept existed, it was far from "widespread" and did not become popular until after the Six-Day war of 1967. Not even the citation, an online Britannica article authorized by a famous Pro-Palestinian academic, alleges otherwise. The current phrasing is an expression of a nationalist Palestinian narrative, not historical fact. It was probably given a filter precisely for this reason.

I agree that citing another encyclopedia is not the best way to go, but it does seem to contain the statement at the page [13]. Whereas the edit you were changing it to had no citation at all.

Is it because I have only a mobile phone that a problem appeared (I can't buy a PC)? If I did something wrong, it wasn't my intention and I'm sorry.

The filter shows you deleting everything after the words " Voters have paid relatively little attention to". Other than that, I can't say anything, because we don't have access to the information about what kind of browser you use or what appeared in the window when you were editing. On some very old browsers there is a bug that will not allow a "textarea" to be more than 32 kilobytes, but I doubt you have that, or you would have noticed it before on other websites. —Soap— 10:03, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I do not understand why the edit filter stops sandbox edits... —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v PC/SP is a show-trial!)} 20:54, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Many filters do exempt sandboxes, but it has to be done individually for each filter; there is currently no way to exempt sandboxes from all filters. So generally, the "tag-only" filters do not have the exemption (which is what this was). But it won't stop you from saving the edit, and you don't need to worry that you're being looked upon suspiciously because most long-term editors have "tags" like that as well. —Soap— 22:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

It won't save because it still has the bitly link in it, which I explained above cannot be used directly. You can type it as bitly. Also,I'm curious about the {{pp-move-indef}} at the top. —Soap— 18:09, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Description: After spending many hours constructing an article about poundwire.com I tried to save it and got an error message. The message was "An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and it has been disallowed." I don't know how this could be true. I spent a lot of time trying to find as many references as I could and citing my work. It wasn't perfect and I plan on editing it further, but there doesn't seem to be any reason to 'disallow' the page.

Due to abuse it is no longer allowed to type bit.ly or other URL shorterners, even in the sense of making a link to the article. I apologize but this is the best solution we have come up with in order to prevent people linking to malware and/or copyright violations and disguising it as a legitimate link. You can still type the link as bitly. Do you have the text saved? Also, is part of this copied from another article? I notice you have a {{pp-move-indef}} at the top, which can only appear on a page that has been around long enough to have been in need of protection from vandalism or a content dispute. —Soap— 10:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. Yes, I copied and pasted another article to use as a template, but none of the original content should be there. I fixed the bitly issue and removed the {{pp-move-indef}} and it worked!

The filter was stopping the creation of the article because of the many repetitions of the word "fuck" which is generally a sign of vandalism. So it's a false positive, but I think this article should probably not be created for several reasons. One is that we don't usually put lyrics on the articles for songs, since they might be copyrighted and even if not they're generally accessible on external websites. Secondly, translations are difficult to agree on; its a gray area but it is difficult to avoid WP:OR. Thirdly, songs aren't given their own articles anyway unless theycan be demonstrated to be individually notable. So I would have to assume an article like this would be deleted even if it didn't have the lyrics in. If you believe the song does meet the notability criteria you can create a new article for it, but if the lyrics are copyrighted (and generally all lyrics of recently released songs are), they shouldn't be in the article. —Soap— 00:32, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Please aklso note that no admin would actually take any action against you merely overt the fact that you triggered an edit filter, and looking at the edit in question is clearly a revert of vandalism. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:22, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I assume it was a mistake then. Please try to be sure you're not inadvertently deleting content, as you did on Skymark Airlines.

Generally we don't do individual exceptions like this, because the edit filter runs on every edit, so that means every edit by every person will be checked to see if it's you editing your own talk page. There have been a few cases in which we have added individual exceptions, but only if it's an "emergency" (as much as something on Wikipedia can be considered an emergency) and it is removed when the situation is over. No long term exemptions, in other words. If a new version of the filter software is written that doesn't automatically run all filters on all pages then something like this may be easier to adopt. —Soap— 11:36, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Ishma Says

Ishma has been brought back today, along with many others mentioned in various religious texts spanning all religions, many of these people are actually in the public eye while people are non the wiser, how can I say this ? Ishma is writing this edit right now!, there are a great many changes that are going to happen here, the human race are going to realise that there reality is nothing more than there waking conscious influence in agreement over the forces around them, and that there dream state is the same minus the amplification of all the others, this transition will be painfull, and others will come here now, what type depends on the fear each of you have within. Time and death will cease on May the 12th 2012, Peace Love and Empathy.

---end

I will not persue this, I have proven my existence without question to the appropriate leaders, and dispite this irrefutable proof they have dissmissed me and acted out of fear for what I may say or the physics I may teach people that will free them of the slavery and suffering they endure.
