Page you were editing: 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.

Date and time: 18:35, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Comments: 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)

This IP editor has been adding promotional spam links to various articles, including audio equipment links to non-audio articles. The filter should remain engaged to keep this spam out of the encyclopedia. Binksternet (talk) 15:09, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
If an IP editor repeatedly adds external links that are considered to be spam, it will trip this filter. Electric Catfish 19:51, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Description: 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.

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

It's best not to blank someone else's talk page without consensus. The filter prevents new and unregistered users from blanking someone's talk page. Electric Catfish 23:30, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
I have reverted a large number of IP edits on the page per WP:BLP, I presume this is what the OP was trying to achieve. 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.

Description: The page is about me, although I've never had anything to do with it previously. 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.

Page you were editing: 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.

Page you were editing: 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.

The filter prevents brand new accounts from using "nowiki" tags. I'll leave it to another patroller of this board to decide if that makes sense. I'm not keen on removing that feature so a brand new editor can contact someone regarding activity on a different website. Someguy1221 (talk) 23:37, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the filter, is it a new thing? Myrtonos (talk) 00:51, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Normally the use of the <nowiki> tag by new users is indicative of a particular long-term vandal. This is false positive but the filter should not be changed.--Jasper Deng (talk) 00:59, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately the URL one of your references contains an email address, this is tripping the filter. It's technically a false positive but it's not one where we would consider changing the filter. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 09:56, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

You triggered the filter by using that word more than once. I'd rather keep an euphenism; I think we should only use that word only if absolutely necessary.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:29, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

The first time I tried to make the edit I triggered the filter by using the word exactly once. Euphemisms may suit your personal aesthetics, but they are not encyclopedic, and represent a prudish rather than factual point-of-view. --23minutes (talk) 05:20, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

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)
