Stnh1206[edit]

Filter: 1297 (hist · log)
Log entry: 37941572
Affected user: Stnh1206 (talk · contribs) (filter log)
Page they were editing: Foot in Mouth (EP) (filter log)
Description: This user was adding a personnel section about the band who performed this EP on that article, and they were warned with the standard warning message and tagged as possible vandalism as they submitted the edit after the warning. This appears to be a legitimate user and not a vandal, and this was triggered on the word Cool when adding Tré Cool - drums.

@Ohnoitsjamie also looks like a false positive, maybe we should check for the removed lines too, since the offending text was already present in the article? --DannyS712 (talk) 06:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DannyS712: I don't think this is a false positive personally. The edit summary seems disruptive and this addition seems unsourced. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 02:31, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ResunS, you attempted to remove comments that said: "Per WP:NFCC, non-free images are not to be used on lists. If you have any questions or would like to help with sourcing free-use images in the public domain, please start a discussion on the talk page." The talk page this comment refers to is at Talk:Turing Award. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add an image at that place. Should I keep the comment unchanged? ResunS (talk) 19:14, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ResunS, the comment advises you against using non-free images on the page, and File:Alan Perlis.jpg is a non-free image. You may not add the image at that place. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done – The filter is working properly. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:59, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description: False positive for the word 'faggot' in this case it is clearly referring to a bundle of sticks used in the burning not any slur (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/faggot). The change to 'maggots' does not make sense in the this context and is unjustified.

Description: I tried to add his name to the list of Mataró’s notable residents since he grew up in Rocafonda, a notable neighbourhood in the town. However, Wikipedia shit it down and said that he isn’t recognised on English Wikipedia, despite the fact that I linked his Wiki article.
