I'm trying to edit the page for Antonio Sacre. My first round of edits were mostly removed because they were unencyclopaedic and unreferenced - lesson learned! I have gone back and found references for (I hope) everything that needs it and rewritten the copy to be more encyclopaedic. I added a few sections (Personal life, Author, Select bibliography) and was able to save without issue. But then I tried to add a section for "Solo performer / Playwright" and got the "potentially unconstructive" error. Not sure what triggered it, so I don't know how to fix that and I don't know if I should report the error as a false positive.
- This was caught by an edit filter – a dumb program that mostly accurately catches schoolchildren vandalism but like all such programs, may have the occasional false-positive, as you predicted was the issue here. What this filter looks for is certain common curse words and body parts written in all capital letters that 10- to 14-year-old boys think are clever for use in vandalism. In this case it caught and disallowed the edit because it included "MY PENIS is Extended" – PENIS in all caps triggered the filter. I don't think we should be too "mad" at the filter's actions here because I'm betting this false-positive is a rarity for the construction, but that doesn't mean it should not be reported. See Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives. Meanwhile, if you need access to the filtered edit because you did not save a copy, see here. I'm not actually sure if you attempt to add it back whether it will dumbly keep disallowing the edit, but if so, you could just de-capitalize it I suppose.
