Talk:Jeffrey Epstein (filter log) (user filter log)
Description
I was trying to open a topic about Epstein's diagnosis, whether it's been discussed or proven. I don't like using an official DSM diagnosis incorrectly, I'm very much into objective facts and superstition or myth avoidance. We shouldn't use professional terms as flames.

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. The edit looks fine, however it also triggered two private filters, one of which prevented this edit. Annh07 (talk) 12:44, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there is any way to reduce this kind of FPs for the two private filters, but I'm open to other EFH/EFMs ideas. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 13:37, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The last time I tried to reduce FPs on that word, I had to report several egregious BLP vios to WP:OS. It's not worth the trouble. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:36, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. Annh07 (talk) 17:09, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done and a change to the filter may be needed. – Codename Noreste (talk · contribs) 18:15, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like Ivavivian's case above. I can't see the private filters, but I noticed that these edits triggered the same two private filters. Annh07 (talk) 18:46, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Codename Noreste: Again, I don't think there is much we can do here. Email me if you have any ideas. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 18:58, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
