107.4.62.227
I attempted to add a comment in the sextion of the talk page for the List of World Heavyweight Champions in WWE which included a link to a video of a match which is freely watchable on DailyMotion. It was meant to support the fact that Christian's first reign, which lasted from May 1 - May 6, 2011, was in fact, therefore 5 days long and not 2 days long as the infobox on the article's page incorrectly suggests. Why was this wrongfully disallowed?107.4.62.227 (talk) 23:31, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry the filter has inconvenienced you, but you can simply press "save page" a second time, after the warning pops up, and the filter will allow your edit to go through.

Below the costal margin
For context, above the sheath are the following two layers:
- Camper's fascia (anterior part of the Superficial fascia)
- Scarpa's fascia (posterior part of the Superficial fascia)
Within the sheath, the layers vary:
Region | Illustration | Description |
---|---|---|
Above the arcuate line | ![]() |
At the lateral margin of the rectus, the aponeurosis of the internal oblique divides into two lamellae:
|
Below the arcuate line | ![]() |
Below this level, the aponeuroses of all three muscles (including the transversus) pass in front of the rectus.--81.182.75.189 (talk) 21:48, 11 August 2015 (UTC) |
Below the sheath are the following three layers:
The rectus, in the situation where its sheath is deficient below, is separated from the peritoneum only by the transversalis fascia, in contrast to the upper layers, where part of the internal oblique also runs beneath the rectus. Because of the thinner layers below, this region is more susceptible to herniation. |}

Of course I understand that you're helping (thank you!), so I'll do the edit for you; it's just that tweaking the filter here would be a bad idea, because then we'd let in a lot of vandalism.

- Jordan Belfort (filter log)
- Description
- improve the Jordan Belfort article. The soft manner in which his crimes are alluded to (he is someone who "plead guilty" rather than someone who "Committed" or "Was Convicted of" xyz crime, gives me the impression that someone has softened the article (something the subject has a vested interest in). I want the article to be more encyclopedic around this man's known frauds.
My proposed changes, which change only a few words and states the facts more plainly: "...and former stockbroker who committed fraud and related crimes in connection with stock market manipulation and defrauding investors through a boiler room as part of a penny stock scam".
The original (with original grammar errors): "...and former stockbroker who pleaded guilty to fraud and related crimes in connection with stock market manipulation and running a boiler room as part of a penny stock scam".

- Indirect effect (filter log)
- Description
- Added that according to the European Court of Justice, indirect effect could apply to opinions and recommendations. This is the second time an edit of mine is falsely tagged as potential vandalism. I think I found the reason - the beta visual editor has a bug in captcha, whereby I cannot enter the right letters no matter what. If I save the page via the old method, however, it works alright. Yet by this time the system already falsely suspects the user (=me) of vandalism. On another note, is it possible that the tag "potential vandalism" would be somehow removed after my edit is cleared? I do not find it comforting to have the tag next to my edits. Thanks!!

- Don't worry, it's not you. This quite often happens when people use Google Books as a source - the random letters and numbers in the URL often trigger a filter (in this case, just a warning one, so your edit has gone through OK). Black Kite (talk) 18:09, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
- I think the editor's own analysis is probably more accurate.
Possibly we should raise a fabricator bug, since edits that fail on captcha should probably not be counted as edits. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:06, 16 August 2015 (UTC).
