You evidently know much more than I do about edit filters. If, as you suggest, a narrowly targeted filter does not put an excessive load on the servers, it might be worthwhile.

On the subject of the frequency of the edits, as I said on my talk page, in May, I worked out that the edits averaged a little more than once a week. I have just checked the number of edits from the end of May to now, and it is still running at a little more than one a week. (Of course, that is only the ones I know of, specifically the edits made using IP addresses listed at ], and for all I know there may be some more, if some cases get found and deleted by someone other than John of Reading and myself, without our knowledge. However, my guess is that I've got most of them.)

I wrote this article as a surprise 70th birthday gift for my long-time boyfriend, actor Tim Jerome (https://www.facebook.com/tim.jerome1?fref=ts). It was refused/deleted for "copyright infringement" because I quoted liberally from his "Mainstreet Musicals" website. I continue to be an active contributor to and editor of the latter so it never occurred to me that reproducing his biographical info would be an issue.
What is my appropriate next step?
Thanks

Welcome to my talk page! I will reply on your talk page unless you prefer otherwise as usually noted on your talk page. If you are an editor without an account, I will reply here.
When leaving messages, please keep these tips in mind:
Use a descriptive subject/headline.
If you are asking a question about an article, please tell me which article you are referring to.
Please do not add your message to another editor's conversation unless you are commenting on the same topic. Start a new section, unless...
If you are continuing a conversation with me, please edit the relevant section instead of starting a new section.
Hi Godo Dogo,
You've recently removed an external link (http://www.headnine.com/top/2013/10/10/auto-erotic-asphyxiation-possible-in-ariel-castro-death_s_41957847.html) regarding Ariel Castro death "because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia." (you actually removed the entire paragraph all together). I added the paragraph again with a different link to CNN. I was wondering why do you think it's an inappropriate link. The advantage of this website is that it displays in one page all the related articles from all major news sources, including related videos and tweets, which allows users to choose what source they prefer to read (or watch). This also allows get the entire picture of a news event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilanitz (talk • contribs) 22:10, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
You deleted the information I added to the Air France 447 page, when I added information about my book to the other "Independent analyses"
My book certainly complies with that and deserves to mentioned there.
The text was taken from an independent review of the book (not written or assisted by myself, but given permission to publish)
There was a link to the source of the review on amazon.com, where it was posted by its author.
Should I not have included a link to the book's location on Amazon.com as well? Otherwise how should I cite it?
I was not finished with the article quite yet and I accidentally uploaded it. I will make sure it is completed the next time. With complete resource links added to the article. The person it was about requested the article for having a lot of fame on YouTube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingdragonking954 (talk • contribs) 20:36, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

You evidently know much more than I do about edit filters. If, as you suggest, a narrowly targeted filter does not put an excessive load on the servers, it might be worthwhile. Certainly, it should be possible to target such a filter very narrowly: for example, the requirement that the page title start with "Portal talk:Current events/" would, I guess, cut out well over 99.9% of edits immediately, without looking any further. On the subject of the frequency of the edits, as I said on my talk page, in May, I worked out that the edits averaged a little more than once a week. I have just checked the number of edits from the end of May to now, and it is still running at a little more than one a week. (Of course, that is only the ones I know of, specifically the edits made using IP addresses listed at User:JamesBWatson/The elevator vandal, and for all I know there may be some more, if some cases get found and deleted by someone other than John of Reading and myself, without our knowledge. However, my guess is that I've got most of them.) Anyway, as I said, you evidently know much more than I do about edit filters, and I will leave it to you to judge whether it's worth your while creating one. There's still my request for a filter, languishing at Misplaced Pages:Edit filter/Requested#The elevator vandal, which nobody has chosen to act on. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:03, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
