List_of_municipalities_in_Connecticut (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

The header cell labels in the cities table are misaligned. I am trying to add a "Percent Change" header cell since that is what's missing. This change is being automatically flagged as "Potentially unconstructive" and I cannot publish it.

Note: I'm not sure I really see anything to be changed. It's a false positive, but most of the edits caught in this filter are fairly good, so this may well just be acceptable collateral damage. Feel free to let me know if you think there's a change that would fix this though. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 04:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2015 Cross River State gubernatorial election (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

The content of the article in question seemed to be accurate and well-sourced, however, it was not up to the style and tone of Wikipedia. Therefore, I rewrote the article for consistency.

Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. Both 1295 and 384 tripped on a typo, "who received" as "whoreceived." Might want to use a \b or something after each word. Rusty 🐈 04:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Śūnyatā (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

There is a misunderstanding in explaining the meaning of Śūnyatā, as well as an error in suggesting that it is an Indian concept with connections to other traditions, which is incorrect. In fact, it is a Buddhist concept, specifically associated with Mahāyāna Buddhism, and I have corrected this.
