- Description
- Making edit, as no way that any proper Game Engineer will change from playground games to EA, knowing how bad the company is and knowing it is voted several times as worst company of US and many more times being in that Top 10. Including all what Microsoft more offers to their Engineers. Guess thoose of PG drive real cars for the right feel in the game on tracks and may play with community online. Guess EA doesn't have that.

- Eiffel 65 (filter log)
- Description
- I attempted to add a citation link to https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/rn5mg6/eiffel-65-interview-blue-da-ba-dee for the origin of the name "Eiffel 65". The filter likely thought it was vandalism because of a problematic keyword in the Vice article's title (which I'm not repeating here in case the filter strikes again).

- Boyd Vance (filter log)
- Description
- I added information about Boyd's activism. Specifically, that he participated in the Third National Gay Men of Color AIDS Institute in 1993, moderating a breakout session on "organizing gay men of color." I cited to primary sources available online.
- Date and time
- 23:37, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comments
- : Thinking that perhaps the filter was disallowing my citations because of the tinyurl link (which the archive/GALE provided), I edited and rewrote (adding a specific section on the subject's activism), this time citing to the manuscripts within the archives (thus not bothering with the archive link, as it's password protected in any event). Same result, though. I now see that filter 380 disallows any use of the word "gay," which is somewhat unbelievable. Boyd Vance was gay. Proudly. I'd like to add that info to his bio. --Mlrqueerhistory (talk) 20:12, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references. While Boyd Vance and you may have been/be proud, others who are not gay would prefer to not be described as such in their biographical articles; also, particularly among juveniles, "gay" is often used here as an expression of disapproval, not sexual orientation. Sadly, we have had to create a filter to discourage such usage without reliable sources. General Ization Talk 20:39, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- I'd note that I've already added Mlrqueerhistory to the confirmed group, so this filter will no longer apply to them and they can go about their business. The reality of the filter is not that the word 'gay' was added, but that it was added 7 times in a relatively short text. Still, this filter looks like it might benefit from some tweaking for cases such as this. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:45, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Without belaboring a point that, as noted, has been resolved (at least insofar as it applies to this particular article), I'd just point out that the reasoning General Ization presented for the filter underscores the whole problem with the filter. We're giving credence to the use of "gay" as an expression of disapproval, something we need to take extra precaution to filter out of articles. Thus, gay is equivalent to the other obscenities within filter 380 (including the most vile racial and sexual epithets) (though it's notable that "gay marriage" seems to be an exception, because what's obscene about marriage?). Ideally, none of the information on Wikipedia would be false, and all of it would be backed up with appropriate references. If someone added to Marilyn Monroe's bio that she naturally had black hair (she didn't), it would be corrected and the contributor may face certain restrictions; "black hair" wouldn't be listed as an obscenity, though, because admins don't see it as such. When it comes to the libelous charge of being "gay," however, we make sure it can't even make it on the page. What's more, in all instances, I cited to primary sources (i.e., reliable sources), all of which came from gay and lesbian archives, so by providing institutional information about my sources, the filter became all the more sensitive ("multiple obscenities"). There's a problem with the filter. --Mlrqueerhistory (talk) 22:10, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Mlrqueerhistory, I can sympathize with your position, but the reality of things is that there are many (immature) people out there who use it in a derogatory fashion, and it is a common enough form of vandalism that it merits a filter. That filter triggers for new users, because the majority of this vandalism comes from unregistered or newly registered users. Once users are confirmed or autoconfirmed, as you now are, the filter doesn't trigger. If people routinely went around to biographies and added that they have naturally black hair, we'd have a filter for that too. To summarize, it's regrettable that we need this filter (and I'd like to live in a world where we don't need it), but it correctly catches bad edits a lot more often than it falsely prevents good edits, and so the filter is not going to be changed. On a tangential note, primary sources aren't inherently reliable sources, and we prefer secondary sources when possible -- please take a moment to look at WP:PRIMARY. creffett (talk) 01:33, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Question: @Northcarolinaman4726: Do you have any connection with the article subject? If so, please read WP:COI and request your changes at Talk:Dan Forest. Either way, I'm not comfortable making that change; you seem to replacing content referenced to third -party sources with content referenced to the subject's own website.
