Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives

Edit was not disallowed though a change to the filter may be needed. False positive caused by citation containing the phrase "rich history". Would it be possible to exclude the contents of ref tags from this filter? – jlwoodwa (talk) 02:00, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The exclusion addition would be <\/?ref (to add in cite_exemption_pattern). Also, I am pinging Ahecht as the recent maintainer of filter 1325. Codename Noreste (talk) 20:47, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My only contributions to that filter were the lines to detect emojis. Pinging Queen of Hearts. --Ahecht (TALK

Description: Adding a request for citation. The page repeats a marketing claim for the album's re-release, claiming that it "was named Best Recording in Science Fiction and Fantasy, in a panel of judges that included George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Alfred Hitchcock".

This contest is undetailed, unclear, and appears to only exist in the marketing material for the 2005 re-release, with no references, details, or corroboration. It seems fairly clear that the award does not exist, and that the three men named did not serve as judges.

As this (pop culture) article suggests, Hitchcock and Spielberg had only a fleeting, awkward interaction, while Hitchcock was largely retired from public view by the time the album was released. https://collider.com/steven-spielberg-alfred-hitchcock-jaws-ride/

Description: I was creating a sandbox draft for a musician biography (Stephan Folkes) with reliable references from outlets such as EARMILK, Urbanista Magazine, Rotate Magazine, Curious For Music, and A&R Factory. The edit filter flagged my draft as "potentially unconstructive," but it is a good-faith article with proper citations and neutral tone. The only external link included was to the artist’s official Spotify page. Please review and allow the edit to be saved in my sandbox.
