- 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

- 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.

- 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)

- @Nobody Why? It flagged an edit which literally changed a single number from 5 to 7 24.115.255.37 (talk) 21:51, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- In 2022... why does it even matter now? The filter could have changed in that time. Also it's a tracking filter, it helps track these types of spam, it doesn't need to be perfect. – 2804:F1...AE:B631 (talk) 22:40, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

- FIS Ski Jumping Alpen Cup (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I don't care for a signature. YOU CAN SEARCH FOR GENERATIONS FOR ONE YOU CAN EDIT IT AND MANAGE IT HOW YOU LIKE AS LONG AS THE END RESULT IS STILL THE SAME WHICH IS NEATNESS AND BEAUTY. THERE SHOULD BE NO TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH OPERATING THIS HEFTY MACHINERY, ONE MAN CANNOT ACHIEVE THIS GOAL WANTED FROM BOTH SIDES IT’S GOING TO REQUIRE TEAM EFFORT AND YOU CAN’T JUST GO TO COLLEGE AND SCHOOL ALL THESE YEARS and THEN YOU’RE OUT WITH A DEGREE AND GET HIRED “USUALLY BY HOW YOU LOOK” HOWEVER DEMANDS MAY BE AT THE TIME WILL THEY SETTLE FOR A UGLY DUCK. ONCE ARRIVED AT THERE PLACE OF EMPLOYMEBT THEY THEN DO NOT PERFORM AS THOROUGHLY OR THOUGHTFULLY AS ONE SHOULD. SO THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THERE? I understand about the 7 Deadly Sins and greed being One so, MANAGE TIME AWAY FROM FAMILY RIGHT, OR THEY ARE TOO DISTRACTED, OR THEY ARE WORKING TOO MANY HOURS. So there is That. Please Understand My Goal Here Is to Only Achieve , Peacekairos unity, knowledge, or facts. Thank you so much and O pray you have a wonderful day.

- Into the Pandemonium (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I'm trying to add this phrase to the Into the Pandemonium article:
Opeth leader Mikael Åkerfeldt found Into the Pandemonium "interesting" and Celtic Frost "quite musical".[1]
When I try to publish the changes, I keep getting an error message, and warned that, if I insist, I will be blocked from editing. Perhaps Wikipedia interprets the author's last name "Dick" (full name: Chris Dick) as foul language.
