@Suffusion of Yellow: Same as before, same again? ^{[Username Needed]} 11:20, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes, but now another user has made a massive change to the article, so it's going to be hassle to integrate Mʌk's changes. And without sources, I still don't know what's going on here. @Mʌk: It hasn't been fixed because it's unlikely that a single user at this page speaks the language, so we're all leaving for someone else to deal with. Not an excuse, but an explanation. I hate to give you the runaround, but try raising this at Talk:National anthem of Mongolia, or, if you don't get a response there, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mongols. The filter shouldn't stop you there.

@MusikAnimal: I'm not sure if we need to make an exception for soyoloo as it's not a common word, but that would at least prevent this problem from happening again. Alternately, 614 seems mostly targeted at drive-by vandalism, so perhaps it should be public? Then at least more users could help with FPs. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

@Suffusion of Yellow: I have amended the filter to avoid this false positive. And you're right about the visibility; this filter is for general vandalism. I have made it public. Thanks, — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:19, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Mandy (2018 film) (filter log)

Description

Attempting to correct an inaccurate statement in the previous edit; it states a character is killed by an other at a time when that's not the case, implying that there are more characters in the film than there really are. Checking the credits shows there are 3 "bikers", but the wiki would imply a 4th "biker" that doesn't exist if I weren't to edit the error. My edit subsequently modified the data to reflect the accuracy of the credits and story, and the notes in the edit explain why; the notes contain character names by which one of the names triggers the "bad words" auto-block filter.

When I went to submit the report it sent me to register, then to this page, to make the false blocking report but with out linking the report. Thanks again.

Cannabidiol (filter log)

Description

including "LOL" in an edit summary should not cause an edit filter to block the edit, maybe just flag it in a list of edits to check. I ended up replacing it with "Heh". The laugh was because I was removing some ridiculously repetitive wording which I described as "redundantly redundant". I can see blocking edits with edit summaries like "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKIN' FUCKS", but "LOL" is hardly a clear indicator of vandalism, more likely a sense of humor. — 64.81.71.98 (talk) 08:43, 13 January 2019 (UTC) (SMcCandlish, via open WiFi)

Page you were editing: Vehicle registration plates of Utah (filter log)
Description: I was adding information (could not see how to upload an image though) for a special group license plate which was approved in 2016. It is a Children's Heart Disease special group plate which passed the Utah legislature and was signed into law in 2016 (https://le.utah.gov/~2016/bills/static/SB0069.html). The plate does not yet appear on the UT DMV website as new special group plates require 500 paid applications prior to openly public, statewide availability. At present (Jan, 2019), the sponsoring organization (intermountain healing hearts: https://www.intermountainhealinghearts.org/chd-license-plate) is gathering completed and paid applications to reach the required 500 prior to printing and dissemination by the state of Utah. When editing, I received a false positive for inserting a heart emoji (which appears on the license palte). The emoji is not copywritten.

This is a false positive, in that you aren't one of the idiots trying to add Ryan Ross's name to Cheez Whiz. But, disambiguation pages such as My Bloody Valentine are really just supposed to be navigational aides, not a general collection of information related to the title of the page. The Panic! at the Disco demo should only be added to that page if it's discussed somewhere else in Wikipedia, which, as far as I can tell, it isn't. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 03:19, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

I've reduced the filter to tag only - there are more false positives in the log and somewhere like ~20% of the hits to the filter are not vandalism which is far too much for disallow. Galobtter (pingó mió) 19:38, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712: Actually, it looks like the article was about a Japanese food product from 2006 until August 2018. Then, another IP came along and (twice) copypasted a bunch of material from Vishvamitra for some reason, and this user was attempting to remove that. The filter was correct to warn the first time (18:24), since they didn't provide an edit summary, but second hit, from 18:27, was a false positive. Filter 957 (hist · log) is rather new (courtesy ping Galobtter), but I personally went through the logs to look for FPs before it was set to disallow, and didn't see any. I'll count this is a one-off fluke unless it happens again. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 19:02, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Suffusion of Yellow, Thanks for the ping, I'll definitely be monitoring the logs of 957 for the next few days at-least, and I'll also see if it is possible to eliminate this sort of false positive without too many false negatives; if more false positives popup I'll reduce it to warn and tag.

Seems like a good filtering to me then, since that's how we do titles. Drmies (talk) 15:17, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
Those titles explicitly use lettercasing to convey information on what's a song and what's a skit, with "marCH" being even a special case of combining both. I'd say it should be preserved just like you wouldn't fix intentional typos or orthographic errors in titles. --77.254.1.82 (talk) 15:21, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

I was reformatting a link with the name "Jimmy Savile" attached. It referred to him as a "Radio DJ" and "Television Presenter", with links to those. However, post-mortem, Savile is known primarily as a sexual predator and paedophile. So I included a link to that. Since he is dead, he is not subject to criminal investigation, but inquiries have established that he was beyond reasonable doubt.

Not done. Filter is working as intended. If you have reliable sources for this claim, discuss it on the talk page of the article in question. Bradv🍁 06:17, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
