Done. I've made the edit. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal and Oshwah: Perhaps adding a !(old_wikitext contains "Panic! at the Disco") or changing the !(norm(removed_lines) irlike match_words) to !(norm(old_wikitext) irlike match_words) would reduce some of the FPs. Or are there too many idiots adding RR nonsense even to Panic!-related articles? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 03:05, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Suffusion of Yellow: I've added the check for "Panic! at the Disco". I don't know if there's the other RR vandalism on Panic! articles, but it seems this vandalism trend has started to die down anyway, so we wouldn't be allowing much more to get through.

Description: I was trying to point out poor source selection in the B rated article. I expressed that the article quality was poor. I mentioned specific errors in the article. I urged better mindfulness in source selection. I'll say here that expressions indicating problems should be allowed so criticism can be direct and free of doublespeak apology for helping. The errors of source selection in the article are not minor errors. Language expressing this should be allowed. "Ridiculous" should be a perfectly acceptable term when it is accurate to describe the actions in producing an article. Not allowing direct criticism will lead this venture into territory where useless nonsense is the rule. I will express my deep disappointment at this blocking of even critique in the "talk" section here. Article quality has suffered in general. This filter does not help.

Bach_Choir_(disambiguation) (filter log)

Description

This disambiguation page lists 14 Bach Choirs in the UK, 7 of which have Wikipedia pages, but I found a doctoral thesis which lists 40. It seemed useful to include that thesis as a citation, but this triggered an automatic warning that citations are not normally allowed in disambiguation pages. I can't think of a better place within Wikipedia for that citation and so I would humbly suggest it should be allowed in this case. Or those Bach Choirs without Wikipedia pages should be removed, which would seem a shame. I have left the edit in pending judgement since the long thesis title and author's name containing accented characters was slightly tedious to enter.

Date and time

22:52, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Comments

@Pleriche: Disambiguation pages serve a different purpose from lists and generally shouldn't include items that don't have articles. Disambig pages are supposed to help readers find articles, and the items without articles will only serve to frustrate people. That said, maybe there should be a more complete List of Bach Choirs page in addition to the dab page. Or perhaps the current dab page could be moved to List of Bach Choirs and reformatted as a list. It depends on whether people searching for, say, the Aberdeen Bach Choir or the Dorset Bach Cantata Club are realistically going to just type "Bach Choir" into the search box. I don't know, maybe ask the folks at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music what they think the best option is here. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:40, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

@Suffusion of Yellow: Thank you, I wasn't aware of lists as a specific type of page and I agree that a List of Bach Choirs would be a good idea. As you suspect, if somebody simply types "bach choir" they are unlikely to be looking for a provincial Bach choir, though they may very well be looking for The (London) Bach Choir, indeed, Bach Choir (capitalised) will already redirect them there. I would suggest therefore that the contents of bach choir should be syphoned off into List of Bach Choirs and the disambiguation page be slimmed down to contain only Bach Choir and List of Bach Choirs. Does that sound sensible? Pleriche (talk) 16:23, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

It seems reasonable to me, but this isn't a subject with which I'm very familiar. Either be bold and create the page (WP:AFD is always a risk), or ask the people at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music what they think is best. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 00:39, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Comments

  As I stated at the time of the edit, this is a self-published book but I see that it is very accurate on many things that I have verified through study over the years. In addition, this information on the Cataline Affair in Republican Rome fits other ancient sources such as those by Republican Roman soldier, politician and historian Gaius Asinius Pollio, who was actually alive at the time. Further, if you study the Cataline Affair in all available, often quoted sources, you will see that none really give concrete, verifiable evidence on evidence on actual conspiracy.

It is due to the use of brennancenter.org as a source, which the CV uses alot. Whether an exception for this page is warranted, I can't say. We should probably check at RS/N as to whether this particular political site is considered a RS. Also of note, that link is dead anyway so I've removed it so as not to interfere with the IPs cleanup. Crow^Caw 17:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

C2 domain

Description

I was trying to add more information and references on the page called "C2 domain" under the section "Lipid Selectivity". The information under this headline actually is irrelevant, however, I was just trying to add related information but I'm getting a false positive error. I wonder if that's because I tried to change the headline to Calcium and Lipid selectivity because C2 domains are selective about both and maybe because I am a new user it thought I'm messing with the article. However, I tried it again without changing the headline and it still didn't allow me to change it. Thanks!

@Crow and MusikAnimal: Perhaps FU.{2,4}DAI is a touch aggressive? I get 280 hits from Special:Search before it times out, for phrases like "successful daily", etc. And that's without the ccnorm(). Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 05:23, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

@Suffusion of Yellow: Sounds reasonable, but I'll leave it to Crow who added it. I'll have to be blunt, I can't help with every false positive, just don't have the time :( Most of my filter edits are just cleanup or improving performance. I know it's tedious to check the filter history, but ideally you'd ping only the person who added the responsible change. Don't let me deter you from pinging me though, just note that I may not always respond! At any rate, you've been an enormous help, Suffusion of Yellow. You might benefit from having EFM rights yourself :) — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:45, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal: My pingspams have not been meant to imply "All of you must get on this at once!!!" but rather "Perhaps one of you wants to look at this..." I haven't expected you, or anyone else, to always respond, and I hope haven't implied otherwise. You've been very helpful, in any case. Generally, I do try and find the user who made the change, but sometimes that person hasn't edited in weeks, or months, so I add other names. In some cases it's not clear which name to add. Perhaps we need a MAINTAINERS page?

EFM? I had been thinking about asking for EFH rights soon (for access to Special:AbuseFilter/test if nothing else). Maybe I'll do that very soon as it would be a good way to gain the remaining knowledge needed for EFM. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 00:18, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

[[Kek (mythology)]] (filter log)

Description

I was adding relevant information to the origin of the cult's resurgence. The use of the term "kek" had been wide-spread as a stand in for the internet slang "lol" since the early days of competitive Starcraft in South Korea (their national sport, actually), and since Blizzard adopted the term as a stand in for "lol" in their popular game, World of Warcraft. I can't help but assume that the edit itself was no flagged, but the attempt to edit the page, including mention of "Pepe the Frog," was what flagged the edit....get your politics out of Wikipedia.

I believe this might be the same bug as reported at EFN, at EFN again, and at phab:T198651, where nothing has happened since July. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 16:43, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Or maybe not. In order for that bug to be triggered, the "pre-save transform" need to be different from the text you submitted. (i.e. the text should have a substed template, a signature, a pipe trick, or something else that causes the text to be altered after you click "publish"). I don't think that should ever happen if you just click "undo" and save the page. So maybe this is something else. Can you give any more detail as to what happened before this filter hit? You would need to have tried to save the page at least three times, unsuccessfully. What happened the first two times? Any clues would be helpful here. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 17:24, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Just noticed your reply now. I don't remember trying to save it three times, I only remember doing it once. Maybe this is a different bug, or maybe I'm not remembering things correctly. Thanks for the reply! 24.5.8.227 (talk) 18:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

@Suffusion of Yellow: I know it's a bit late to do this, but trying out a ping. 24.5.8.227 (talk) 19:11, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. One more question: Do you think you might have changed anything in the edit form (such as adding whitespace, etc.) between clicking "undo" and clicking "publish changes"? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 20:15, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

As far as I can remember, no. I was trying to undo it quickly, as it was a clear-cut case of vandalism. 24.5.8.227 (talk) 22:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Well, I managed to reproduce this, and the pre-save transform wasn't involved at all. Looks like all you need is an edit "conflict" where your version is the same as the already-saved version, so the speculation at the original thread at EFN was correct after all. It would also seem that this filter thinks all IPs are one user, so the other three edits need to trip the rate limit came from other IPs. I'm not sure if that part is a bug or a feature. I will ask at WP:EFN. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 00:00, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Comments: The "Drumpf" name is actually in dispute. See Frederick Trump#Surname and Donald_Trump_(Last_Week_Tonight)#Name_change_timing_dispute. While there's no question that Frederick Trump was German-American, just listing "Donald Trump (Drumpf)" in that article would be an oversimplification, I think.

Comments: Sorry, but Wikipedia is not the place for this kind of thing. We can only publish what's been reported in reliable sources. So that kind of claim can only be in the article if it's already been reported widely in the media. Otherwise, any anonymous person on the Internet could make any claim about anybody they don't like, and indeed, that happens so often that we have filters to stop it.

Thanks. I just wanted to add an image to an article and some bot told me I was being "unconstructive" and I could report a false positive through a clumsy interface and get "scrutinized" and "be prepared to answer questions left by reviewing editors".

Christopher Shaw (neuroscientist) (filter log)

Description

While patrolling the edit filter logs, I saw this edit[2] get flagged as citing a predatory journal, despite the fact that it added no citations (it was talking about a predatory journal, but the edit didn't touch any citations). Then this capitalization fix[3] was similarly flagged. Tornado chaser (talk) 00:46, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

@JzG: Pinging you since you made the edits. Tornado chaser (talk) 00:46, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

The alert is valid, not a false positive: Shaw's paper is in a predatory journal. This report is not on my behalf, I found the content through my routine trawling of known predatory journals, and it's pretty much my filter. I don't think we need to reference the primary paper, actually, since RetractionWatch is secondary. Guy (Help!) 00:58, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

I thought the filter was only supposed to go off if you added a source, sorry if this was an unnecessary report. Tornado chaser (talk) 01:33, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

@JzG: I'm inclined to agree with Tornado chaser here. Any time a filter has a (added_lines irlike "foo"), there should generally also be a !(removed_lines irlike "foo"). Otherwise anyone doing almost anything to a line that already matches the pattern will get the warning, which is bound to be confusing if all they were doing is fixing a typo on another part of the line.
