@Fiddleplayer01: Not a false positive, Youtube videos aren't permitted, see WP:YOUTUBE. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:07, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

@Joseph2302 and Fiddleplayer01:, not true. The first sentence of the linked guideline reads "There is no blanket ban on linking to YouTube or other user-submitted video sites ..." 2600:1006:B12C:E4B8:B945:D20A:9451:85D (talk) 19:49, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but this is why the bot reverted it. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:51, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

@Joseph2302:: So the bot reverted content that is not prohibited because ... why? Sounds like a false positive to me. And the problem is exacerbated by the fact that the filter does not act like a normal bot and revert edits; it prevents (censors) them completely, so that unlike cluebot or xlinkbot there is no opportunity for retry, discussion, and intelligent review. 2600:1006:B12C:E4B8:B945:D20A:9451:85D (talk) 20:29, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Page you were editing: Zelo (filter log)
Description: I was attempting to add references to the page for Korean hip-hop artist Zelo which included a link to a YouTube video as that is where one of the songs I was trying to include is hosted. The filter would not allow me to do this and marked it as spam or unconstructive. However the YouTube link was the reference, it is the best reference available as the track was independently produced and that's the official place it is hosted.

This article contained few reliable sources; it had links to YouTube videos (always a stopper); and it completely lacked categories.

Description: Trying to add section on Twitter Revolution in Tunisia

Furthermore the Tunisian people spread videos and photos of violence taking place in the country at the time. This allowed for people outside of Tunisia to understand what was taking place in Tunisia during the revolution. This lead to increased coverage of the events from outside the country, which helped spread awareness and ultimately help the people of Tunisia see their former President [[Zine El Abidine Ben Ali]].

Study of hits and false positives

Following study is done on edit filter log (as visible to confirmed user). I would like to carry a study of hits or false positives, Where in contributor may not have a saved contrib at the time of this study, The hit is not among disallowed or warned. Also there should be no new added links which might get stopped by MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. As of now, only flagged and/or tagged hits are being studied. Purpose of study: I am discussing certain false positives at :mediawiki:Thread:Project:Support_desk/Whether_edit_filters_do_count_preview_actions where in edit filters are giving hit (probable false positive) without or before a contribution action being saved and it's effect on edit filter management (In brief this study is to find whether a hit is being given on preview action or any other action before save button is clicked for 'action edit'. This study is expected to benefit in reducing false positives on rest of filter, specially filters having specific rate limits triggering before hand is an obsrved problem in case of some reported bugs in this regard and we will find out if this study helps the casue to any extant) .

Admins and Edit filter managers please note I can not see private filters hence I shall need your assistance in confirming that there were no new external links and whether it was hit on unsaved edit action or not.

(Initally I listed some hits but on re-exmining I realised myself that there were new external links so I removed all those instances from the list)

Description: His book is called "Drink, Play, Fuck" but someone edited to to be "F@#k". It's the title of a book, not anything obscene, so I tried to change the letters so it spelled the correct title. There are two instances where "F@#k" appears, and I tried to edit them both.

Actually looking on Amazon, the styling of the word on the book is "F@#k". Although Wikipedia is not censored, on this occasion, as this is the style of how it is spelt on the book, your change is incorrect.--5 albert square (talk) 22:04, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

I was trying to link these Youtube videos to the page but I am getting this message: An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and it has been disallowed.

I do not understand what is unconstructive since the links were on the same topic and will definitely benefit readers.

Castoreum (filter log)

Description

I was attempting to correct the misinformation regarding the use of castoreum in food products. It may be titillating to suggest it is used in extracts but it is not. I included information from Snopes research as they were far clearer and concise than my ramblings would have been and they included the quoted answers from food extract industry corporations that verified over and over that it would be impractical to use something so rare and difficult to milk when the actual products of vanilla beans, raspberries, and strawberries are plentiful and easy to extract. I would like the article edited as my son came and told me he had heard this ridiculous statement and checked it on Wikipedia. I thought it sounded off and checked on Snopes. It is used in the perfume business but NO food producers use it as it is completely unpractical. This fact should be noted so others do not fall for this nonsense of believing it is in their food. I have never tried to edit an article before and may have been blocked for including the mention of snopes. It is not a "user" friendly process. Sorry if I did something wrong but the incorrect information really needs to be updated.

@Ladyred497: Just avoid clicking the blue pen icon in the editing bar above the editing box. But also note that the tone you used was inappropriate for an Encyclopedia article.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:19, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

It's good content, but it needs rewording, since much of it is cut and paste from Snopes. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 16:37, 19 June 2015 (UTC).
