If there's an obvious case to revert vandalism, it should restore the page to the state it was in prior to the vandalism. If you think there's an error or something missing, you can always check the page history to find out who added the tag and ask them about it. Admins often have their reasons for using tags the way they have used them, or for omitting tags in some cases. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk

If you're involved in sockpuppet investigations, you really should edit from an account. Also this doesn't appear to be because of an edit filter. Unregistered editors don't have permission to create pages due to a different mechanism. —Guan aco 22:24, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

The reason we have the filter is because many vandals would have their vandalism reverted, and then the vandal would retaliate by vandalizing their user page. You can edit your own user page. If you want to change your username, see Wikipedia:Changing username. —MRD 20 14 13:56, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

In 2009, this song was the opening song of Mamamia, a gay summer disco in Torre del Lago, Italy; Thanks to this place, it is still recognized as a gay anthem throughout the nation, along with the coreography.

This needs attention. It's possible that paragraphs with multiple uses of the word "gay" are being incorrectly disallowed. —Guan aco 03:17, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
