- Hello @Spoorthi Rao
- Thank you for reporting this.
- After investigation, the activation of Edit check (see here how it looks) was accurate.
- It also appears that the user you mentioned would have had changed the article no matter what. When the request to add a reference was shown, the added a random website instead of declining the request.
- Hope this helps; if you have any question, let me know! Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:08, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

- Check shown
- Edit Check (references) activated, Edit Check (referințe) respins (incert)
- Description
- The edit contains sources. Not sure if they were added after the prompt, but either way, it's confusing to have the rejected tag

- Another diff, same situation. Strainu (talk) 10:59, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Strainu Hello, technically the Edit Check detects every paragraphs to see if it contains any citations or not. As far as I can see, there are paragraphs that do not contain any sources in the provided diff, so it is not a false positive. Do you have any opinions or suggestions? Thanks.

- Thanks for the clarification @SCP-2000. Does the limit of characters from MediaWiki:Editcheck-config.json also applies per paragraph or overall? E.g. if I add 50 characters in one paragraph and 51 in the second with a limit of 100 characters, will EdiitCheck be triggered? Strainu (talk) 08:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Strainu: It is per paragraph. SCP-2000 (talk) 12:38, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- A posible explanation would be:
- the user adds contents to the first paragraph, with a source
- they add content to the second paragraph with no source
- they add a new paragraph with no source
- they click "publish"
- the edit is not publish; they get the check for the paragraph (the one listed at step 3)
- they decline (Edit check will tag the edit accordingly)
- they realize that the new paragraph shouldn't be there and delete it
- they click "publish"
- We are considering adding the Checks as a mid-edit experience: they would appear, in a sidebar, as the problem arises. This way, users could immediately improve their edit. We would tag the final result only (users who haven't improved the highlighted issues).
