Page you were editing: 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.

Adding !(summary irlike "^(?:revert)") could work I think. Nobody (talk) 05:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added some more revert summaries above. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 06:33, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Codename Noreste I didn't add them on purpose: undid would let some vandalism through, rollback and rv have no hits in the last 2000 filter hits. Nobody (talk) 07:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I've removed these terms; before you replied, I was thinking on allowing autoconfirmed users who do not use RedWarn or Ultraviolet to revert vandals whose usernames resemble poop vandalism. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 07:42, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Hawk Tuah Girl (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was trying to edit the Hawk Tuah Girl page with this edit, but I got an error saying that my changes were not published:

On July 12, 2024, she posted a video that showed her purchasing various animal care products from a PetSmart store and donating them to an animal shelter that was nearby with the song "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton playing in the background. In the video, she also showed a dog named "Blondie" that was in the shelter for 130 days, saying that the dog needed to be adopted.^[1]^[2] After the video was released to the public, Rolling Stone called her a "charming Gen Z Dolly Parton."^[3]

Could you please approve this change?

Page you were editing: Trump fake electors plot (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was trying to get rid of false information about Donald Trump's "fake plot." It was stated by Donald J. Trump that he wasn't lying about the election being rigged against him. Nobody believes information from wikipedia because of all of the destructive edits, and wikipedia has said false things like "Hitler told Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor. There is no information stating that Hitler told Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor, just like there is no correct information about Donald Trump and his supporters making a fake plot. 98.165.251.136 (talk) 07:36, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Not done – The filter is working properly. If google translate worked properly, your message reads Is there anything on it? I can say ❣. Thank you for your understanding as there may be times when this happens. Please understand that you will need a round toilet or more. No, I don't really need a round toilet, but thanks for asking.

Anyways, do not create others' user pages, especially if they're an IP, who aren't supposed to have user pages. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 13:04, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
