Description: Someone added this line, which is partly false and defamatory: "On May 20, 2018 he has been treated in hospital after being beaten up by a group of Greek ultra-nationalists angry over his appearance at a remembrance event. The mayor, who is well known for his anti-nationalist views, was attending a ceremony to mark the killing of Greeks by Turkish Army in the First World War.[6]".

I was trying to replace the phrase "group of ultra-nationalists" with "Greek citizens" as there were citizens there from all the parties. I was also trying to add the reason why he was attacked, and cite the video with the interview that caused the bad public reaction.

The original Cazadores uniform of a black bicorn, green jacket with red lapels and cuffs was replaced with the M1800 issue of a dark blue jacket with red facings and maintaining the other equipment. The M1802 uniform was styled after the hussar uniform of the time. A green jacket with yellow lace, red collars and cuffs with the Suhr (a type of leather & brass hat) replacing the bicorn for ordinary ranks. The M1805 uniform returned to the bicorn, styled after the infantry uniform the colour of the jacket was changed to dark blue, with facing colours, combinations and button colour depending on regiment. In 1808 some regiments were issued with french style shakos, including La Romana's division de norte. itIt is unclear which regiments, if any, in Spain were issued with shakos.

Edit filter intended to prevent link spam ensnared you. I am not, however, convinced that the subject meets our notability guidelines. Please take a moment to read over the general notability guideline and the special notability guideline for entertainers (which wrestlers are considered to be). I have copied and pasted your text into Draft:Santana (wrestler), and if you believe that the article is currently reader for mainspace, you may submit. If you want to edit it some more first, it's available for you to work on there, and will be as long as you continue to actively improve it. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 02:45, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects (filter log)

Description

I tried to request that Rock Royer be redirected to Lee Royer, because "Rock" was his nickname. I also got rejected when I tried to ask that Harold Royer be redirected there, since "Harold" was his first name.

PS, I just tried to add a comment to User talk:Compassionate727 about this (Compassionate727 created the redirects for me, and I was thanking him or her), but the same filter blocked me. When I changed the new-section title from "Royers" to "Ro ye rs" it let me through. 208.95.51.38 (talk) 14:14, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

The word "Royer" was added to Filter 260 on 4 May. See Special:AbuseFilter/history/260/item/18765. Cheers, 59.149.124.29 (talk) 14:41, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

The filter log wasn't informative, and neither was the Internet. Can someone tell me why this was added? —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 02:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Crow, looks like you were the one who added this. Can you explain? My curiosity has been piqued. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 21:50, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Its a favorite vandal phrase. The filter's been tweaked to hopefully prevent this kind of thing in future. Sorry for the inconvenience, Crow^Caw 14:59, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

The issue is the FU.+.+.+.+DAI part of filter 260. It's disallowing the passage further linguistic connection between proto-Austronesian and proto-Kra-Dai. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 15:37, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Why is this simple and unharmful passage disallowed by the automatic filter? Who added this passage to the automatic filtering system ? Daevexc (talk) 19:36, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Could you fix this by allowing this passage in the automatic filter ? Daevexc (talk) 19:38, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

@Daevxc: Sorry, I'm just another random guy caught by the same problem, so I don't have permissions to fix it myself. Have to wait for an administrator to follow up. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:36, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Comments: The FU.+.+.+.+DAI regex in Special:AbuseFilter/260 strikes again (see also #Daevexc and #59.149.124.29 above); it's disallowing the title of the British Journal of Psychology article cited in support of the map, Optimal human functioning around the world: A new index of eudaimonic well-being in 166 nations.

@Well-being2: Since the British Journal of Psychology article is already cited on the world map's own page File:Eudaimonic well-being Joshanloo.jpg, I think it should be okay for now just to insert the world map itself, without the footnote (the part in between the <ref> tags).

I managed to change the DEFAULTSORT and insert the Chinese name infobox I was trying to insert at Special:AbuseLog/21257914 (see Special:Diff/843580432), so it seems to the the added body text or its source which is triggering the abuse filter. But I don't see any part of that which should match the regex. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:42, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay I figured it out: I was accidentally looking at an old version of the filter, the problem is the new FU.+.+.+.+DAI part of the filter, which matched Fung Kai No. 1 Secondary School ... Oriental Daily news. Any edit that inserts a word starting with "fu" and subsequently any word containing "dai" no matter how far away will trigger this filter. Can someone tighten it up a bit? Something like FU[\w]{1,4}DAI, maybe. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 15:34, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Yep was too greedy, I've hopefully addressed that. Crow^Caw 15:07, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
