Dell Palomata (filter log)

Description

A change was made outside of the height/weight. The edit looks constructive, but was incorrectly tagged as changing the height or weight. Supposedly there is already a check for a reference that happens to be on the same line, but it doesn’t seem to be working in this instance.

Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. ZWrld, you aren’t notable. But this filter really shouldn’t be preventing moves into draftspace. – 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 07:46, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am a notable person, I’m a music artist and trying to get a Wikipedia page made. I have music on several music platforms, and am putting my social media on there as well as that’s how I connect with fans, I have people that listen to the music, and have a google knowledge panel.

Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made. Maybe we could add something like this so moves from user space to draft space aren’t affected?

Bung Moktar Radin (filter log) (user filter log)

I was trying this quoted tweet but the system possibly detected Hitler in the text and prevented me from submitting. Its this wikitext for the article Bung Moktar Radin:

{{Tweet

| username = MyKinabatangan
| date = 9 Jul 2014
| text = WELL DONE..BRAVO...LONG LIVE HITLER...
| ID = 486623436052381697
}}

For context, its a real tweet from https://x.com/MyKinabatangan/status/486623436052381697

Umdeutung paper (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

Hello, I have recently made large improvements to the Umdeutung_paper page, where I have added and revised content with multiple citations to ensure it is clear, accurate, and fully verifiable. I was also planning to add a new section on the quantum harmonic oscillator with proper sourcing from Tomonaga’s book on the old quantum theory. I don’t understand why my edits were flagged. I’m still new to Wikipedia, so if I’ve unintentionally violated any guidelines, I would really appreciate guidance on what I did wrong and how I can follow the rules going forward.

Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. – 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 03:49, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do I need to do something specific about this request or do I need to simply just wait? Oblibion123 (talk) 03:54, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oblibion123, you just need to wait. This report will stay here meanwhile; it won’t be archived until dealt with by someone who can view the filter. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 04:16, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done – The edit for this report has been implemented, but no changes to the filter were made. Unlikely to happen again; you can message me directly if it does. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:20, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tetanic stimulation (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

For a class project, I needed to take a wiki stub in an area of cell biology and create and full new page for the topic. I chose tetanic stimulation and am trying to upload it. When I go to publish my work, it says it is potentially unconstructive.

Not done – The filter is working properly. Leila Williams, see WP:1ST for how to write your first article. That article already exists and you were flagged because you removed all the previous content, including the lead and the sorting categories. – HurricaneZeta^C 18:06, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can consider requesting some changes here if it continues to flag you – however, some feedback, your changes read a bit like an essay (with the introduction header). I think the changes are alright if changed to a more encyclopedic voice (though you shouldn’t be removing the lead/introduction paragraph and all the previous content) HurricaneZeta^C 18:08, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @LeilaWilliams. @HurricaneZeta: you accidentally included a space in the username when you tried to ping them, I’ve corrected it for you. Aydoh8^{[what have I done now?]} 18:10, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I’ll try making it more inclusive of previous edits. I’ve never had to do this before, so I’m completely clueless haha. Thank you!! LeilaWilliams (talk) 18:15, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It’s alright! You just need to keep the previous content to not get flagged, and good luck! HurricaneZeta^C 18:17, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[[Gyaru]] (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

I edited the page to have particular information about the varying male sub-styles but instead was greeted with an error about unpublished edit. The edit is necessary as now only one male sub-style was mentioned but I left a reminder in the edit description as this is the female variant and all mentions of differing sub-style for the male variant should be on the gyaruo article and not all mentioned on the female variant of the article. If I am mistaken as to why there is an error please contact my talk page, thank you.
