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]

Friday (1995 film) (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

Well, I was trying to add some quotes from the movie that spearheaded the franchise, But, You guys said that's unconstructive. I think it's is constructive because it gives the readers that may not be as knowledgeable of the movie a little background on the movie and the items in it that make the movie what it is today.

Hungarian nationality law (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

I'm trying to add a piece about a recent court case that is relevant to this article. I'm not signed in, but I didn't think I had to be unless I wanted my account associated with the change? That I could publish it signed out, with just my IP attached? I might be wrong, I haven't had my coffee yet.
