Failed to validate description. Failed to validate title.

I suddenly had an issue when trying to edit my nominations. I just finished submitting some nominations via Pokemon Go and now I went into wayfarer to add/edit descriptions and titles. After doing one successful edit, suddenly the site won't let me submit new edits. Every time I click done, it just say "Failed to validate description. Failed to validate title" I tried logging out and in, reloading, a different device. All the other features on the site seem to work, but it won't let me make edits to the text. None of them are in voting yet, but this makes me anxious because some will inevitably go into voting within the next 24 hours. I am just using the site vanilla with no plugins. Is it possible the site is partially down?

Same issue.
I'm also getting this (just tried to edit one of my current nominations). Looks like the system is more broken now.
@NianticCasey-ING @NianticGiffard any ideas what's gone wrong?
Same issues with Ingress / PGo too
yes, more.
And now the ability to up vote this thread has been removed... What on earth is going on?
Look fixed now
Fixed for me as well!
Also fixed
oh, what a relief.
Hi everyone! It looks like the issue has been fixed now, let me know if you start experiencing it again.
Hi,
I think that the issue is not definitely fixed, as I am facing the same issue when trying to edit the description.
When I try to save the edited description, I have the "Failed to validate description" error message. It's been like this for a couple of hours now and I do fear that my upgraded nominatin will go in voting with "to be added" as the description as I am not able to edit it. :-(
@NianticGiffard
Thanks
We can confirm the issue has been fixed. As you're experiencing a similar issue, please provide the nomination details and the title/description you are trying to add to it so we can investigate further. I'll await your reply.
Hi Niantic Giffard,
I am also having the "Failed to validate description" error message for days already. I couldn't edit the description whether using desktop nor cellphone. Could you also take a look as well? Thank you in advance.
@NianticGiffard
Thanks for bringing this up, we have been receiving similar reports. I have flagged it to our team again to look into it.
This typically seems to be triggered by text that the overzealous filter blocks. Recently, I saw somebody unable to type "...[words]. Completed in 2016," presumably where ".com" is being blocked. Is it possible the filter could say what word(s) are blocked, or at least provide better feedback than "failed to validate?" "One or more words in the title/description are not allowed" would at least help prevent some of these reports.
Hello
I am trying to add a more accurate title to my submission of Manuden Church but I keep getting the error "failure to validate title"
@4thAffinity-ING I won't be surprised if it's becauise of word "virgin" in title, as it's the only thing in your text that might been added on banned word list :/
It's almost 100% sure that one of word you used triggered filter block (or just part of some word). Try editing only one thing (title or description) and check if you can't save it even if you use very simple words (like just "Church Mary" in title). It's very common problem now, as filter of banned words got stricter recently and ban many things.
Oh, the irony. The foundational miracle of a major religion is censored on a platform that is supposed to elevate awareness of interesting and important places and things.
