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.

Comments: Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.0.43.131 (talk • contribs) 00:03, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]; Not done – The filter is working properly. While not the filters target, based on the Categories description their use is accurate. But feel free to discuss it on the article's talk page if you disagree.

Page you were editing: Opening (morphology) (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was trying to add an example just like there is an example present there in closing (morphology) page (link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closing_(morphology) )

I believe it will be helpful for users if there is similar example for opening operation. Hence, I added it.

Page you were editing: Isotopes of meitnerium (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: In 2018 and again in 2022, the article Isotopes of meitnerium had the mathematical error "250+27=275". When ComplexRational fixed it in 2018, it triggered an edit filter, which took no action, but it did claim the edit had something to do with "magic/astrology spambots." The exact same thing happened when the error popped back up again later in a different place in the article and I fixed it in 2022.

Date and time: 16:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Comments: Note: an edit filter helper/manager or admin will have to take a look at this if the magic/astrology spambot filter works as intended. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 23:50, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]; I don't think a change is needed. Nobody (talk) 08:09, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
