Eric Burdon (filter log)
Description
Editing unnecessary censorship

In the "Influence" sub-section, there is a quote from Bruce Springsteen at SXSW 2012 in which he said the riffs for Burdon's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and his own "Badlands" were "the same fuckin' riff, man". In what I interpreted to be a completely unnecessary gesture, which nonetheless may or may not have simply been quoting it as a news article had written it, the word "fuckin'" was replaced with "(expletive)". I was editing it back to its proper, unexpurgated state, not vandalizing it.

Yes, that was unnecessary censorship, but I went and removed the entire section since it's wholly unreferenced. Someguy1221 (talk) 19:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

I do not want to make a published edit. I do NOT claim the following source to be true and correct (dailymail.co.uk). My sole intent was to note that in the online Monday, July 30, 2012 edition of the dailymail.co.uk, they claim the famous beatles crossing at abbey road photo took place on 29 July 1969 - not July 8th as the Wikipedia article states; however both Wikipedia and dailymail.co.uk agree on the time of day of the shoot . I'm just curious which date is "correct", and didn't know how to otherwise bring the issue to your attention.

The edit filter was tripped because you tried to add text after the categories and interwiki links. I'd suggest raising this issue on the Abbey Road talk page. —Bruce1eetalk 04:45, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Ash_(Alien) (filter log)
Description
i was trying to change the following lines:

an act which is both an echo of the way that the alien "facehugger" infests its victims,[1][2] and a sexual symbol of phallic penetration and rape[3][4][2] by an android that, even if he did have a phallus (which is not specified in the film) would probably have been sexually non-functional.[3][5]

to

if he did have a penis.

Since phallus is an erect penis or a depiction of penis and penis is exactly what it is.

To prevent vandalism, the edit filter stops IPs from using words like "penis". I'd suggest asking whether "penis" is preferable to "phallus" at the Ash talk page. —Bruce1eetalk 11:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

There is no need to get consensus to remove BLP violations, especially if those edits were not by the user concerned, and was apparently attacking the user concerned.

I can't remember the guys name, but it's the guy who does the voice of Dr. Robotnik in Sonic The Hedgehog. In a famous scene, he catches two guys eavsedropping on him and says, "Snooping as usual I see," but puts emphasis on the "ping as," in a way that makes it sound suspiciously like "penis." Later, "Pingas" became a phenomenon on "This Video Contains X" and "YouTube Poop." I tried to put that in, and it identified it as unconstructive. Please help!

There were a number of mistakes which I corrected (including my DOB), as well as adding in some more external references since there was a note on the page saying they were needed. These linked to various aspects of my job people had referred to, including linking to the site I am noted for writing, a link to the podcast that's listed, as well as updating a dead link to some cartoons I've done. Obviously I do not intend any of these links to be used as advertising, and if they're considered to be as such, then I completely understand if they're removed. I was just trying to evidence the statements made.

Hubble's Law (filter log)
Description
I categorically deny that I made any edits to the Hubble's Law page at any time. The claim about the edits was directed to 75.53.145.167 and while I do not know how to check the IP Address for my computer, I assume that this address is currently assigned to my computer. The edits in question were made on May 30, 2012 and my computer was not in use that day and for a week thereafter (I was out of town visiting family and the computer was shut down). Finally the juvenile nature of the edits makes me wonder if anyone my age can still make an edit that stupid. I know that these remarks do not constitute proof of my not having edited the page, but I want to have my objection to the accusation on record.

Your IP address definitely attempted those edits. But your IP address is also dynamic, so it was most likely in some else's possession at the time. Someguy1221 (talk) 04:21, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Chevrolet Trax (filter log)
Description
Tying to add about name of auto in Russia. The text is:In Russia it will be named Chevrolet Tracker as word "Trax" could be read as "Trah" in Cyrillic (рус."Трах") means "Fuck" in Russian, but not so obscene as "Fuck".

The edit filter stops new and anonymous users from using words like "fuck" to curb vandalism. I'd suggest raising this fact on the Chevrolet Trax talk page where it's addition to the article can be discussed. —Bruce1eetalk 09:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Systolic array (filter log)
Description
I found a sentence that justs ends in the middle, not making any sense. Was trying to talk about that in the discussion/talk page but this broken system stopped me. I will never correct any errors from now on. I corrected a few obvious errors before like wrong calculations... Like it was saying 3 * 3 = 8 and i was correcting it to 3 * 3 = 9, but some admin kids kept changing it back to the wrong way endlessly....

If i try to post my changes here, it will filter it out again.

this is a shortened version (that hopefully won't be blocked): At the last paragraph: "The Kress Array" - a sentence is being started but not being ended. It says "Because of the wide applicability of the super systolic array its reconfigurability makes sense: the Kress Array, having been pioneered by Rainer Kress for reconfigurable computing." So what's with the Kress Array? It says 'reconfigurability makes sense:', 'the Kress Array'... end... Doesn't make sense.

Hi, I was simply following the instructions under "why was the page I created deleted?" Specifically, the part where is says if you are still confused about the deletion

you may click talk next to the admins name, and politely ask about it by clicking the new section link next to the edit button etc. Specifically, I was asking for assistance about where to place my entry. It was indicated to me by the instructions that this was the best place to ask questions of the administrator. After further reading, I realized my entry doesn't meet the requirements of "information that can be verified by external sources," therefore, I wasn't trying to dispute the admins final decision, be rude, etc.

Just do it without using the word "idiotic". There's no reason you have to use that word, so I'm leaving the filter unchanged. Someguy1221 (talk) 08:03, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Description
My DCHAS account was deleted due to a conflict in the wikipedia policy with the username not being able to be the same name as the article it is entering. I have therefore created a new account and will be continuing to edit the article. My goal is to establish the organization as a reputable source by creating a wikipedia article though not to promote it.

User_Talk:MichaelCrawford (filter log)
Description
Adding a section to my own User Talk Page - I really am User MichaelCrawford, Real Name Michael David Crawford, in which I requested that for reasons of my own personal safety, I be permitted to edit JUST my own User Talk page from an Open Proxy. In my particular case, I am using TOR (The Onion Router). I have a whole bunch of really good reasons to believe that some highly-motivated, well-armed felons would like nothing more than to spatter my brains all over the wall. I use TOR not to hide my browsing or posting activity, rather the physical location from which I access the Web. I am working hard at re-enabling the email to which my Wikipedia Account Password Reset Link will eventually be sent, but for the next few days I can only edit without logging in. Note that I do not request Open Proxy Edits of any arbitrary page, just my own User Talk page. Please see http://www.softwareproblem.net/contact/ for more details. I Am Eternally In Your Debt. - Mike

Traazil (filter log)
Description
Was trying to update the family name page on wikipedia to reflect copy pertaining to the family and not an individual. The copy as follows:
  • START OF COPY

Traazil

It is the family name or last name that originated from Holland.

The current Traazil family would be of Dutch and Mongolian heritage with the sub-families taking on additional heritage of Chinese, Malay, and American. The Mongolian heritage is said to be of Khan origin, of Genghis Khan fame. The last known Traazil families currently reside in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Austin/Dallas/Houston Texas. They are all related as the last name is exclusive to the family that remains.

I was removing a references/ accidentally placed by another user when I got this warning:

––– Warning: An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive because it removed a line of code that said reflist or references/. Since all material on Wikipedia has to be verifiable it is usually inadvisable to remove the list of references that corroborates the material in the article. If you were trying to enter additional information into the article, please try again without removing the reflist or references/ tags. Did you try to remove one or more unreliable references from the article? Find the exact reference (formatted like [6]) within the article and remove that code.

Yes, the filter doesn't distinguish. But the filter also didn't actually stop you, it merely warned you (incorrectly). It's a sufficiently rare type of false positive that it's probably not worth fixing, however. I'll still ask Reaper (the guy who maintains that filter) if there's a reason we're filtering email addresses in the Wikipedia namespace. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Actually, I see now, it's quite common. So this unlikely to be fixed, but that's why it's left on warn/tag-only. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
