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.

Comments

Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. Ternera (talk) 14:09, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: this is definitely a false positive due to line 9, but for now I'm not sure of any exclusions to add to the private filter. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 18:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the filter was triggered because an IP address tried to make the edit? I just took the IP's contribution and replaced the target article with it, and it worked fine for me, the filter wasn't triggered, but then I'm an admin so maybe I get a pass on things like this? ~Anachronist (talk) 18:05, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anachronist: I can confirm that admins are exempt from almost every edit filter, because presumably an admin is not going to be engaged in problematic behaviors. I'm going to go with the same thing Codename Noreste said, I can't really find a way to exempt just this use-case. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 04:52, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Username: Seefooddiet (talk · contribs) (filter log)
Page you were editing: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Korea (2024 Rewrite & Proposal) (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Edit text that I myself previously added to a draft MOS WP:KOREA is working on together. This isn't an active MOS, it's still a draft in early stages. As a heads up, over the next month or so we're likely to make dozens of more edits to this draft. If it's possible to whitelist only this page that may save us some headache.
Date and time: 06:14, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Comments: Already done by Seefooddiet. By the way, Seefooddiet, you should now be exempt from the filter, since you have the autoconfirmed permission. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 07:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh; it still says I'm not autoconfirmed on Wikipedia:User access levels when I look at the page though. seefooddiet (talk) 08:00, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Seefooddiet: Try Special:Purge/Wikipedia:User access levels. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 09:32, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Still not seefooddiet (talk) 15:20, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Seefooddiet: You aren't autoconfirmed because your account isn't 4 days old yet. You created it on the 1st, so you should become autoconfirmed tomorrow. C F A 💬 15:24, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, CFA. I thought I saw him as autoconfirmed already. Apparently not, though. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 02:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: 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.
Date and time: 03:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Comments: 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]

Page you were editing: Draft:Mark Arvin Cacho Leppago (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Dear Wikipedia Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to appeal a recent block I encountered while attempting to edit a Wikipedia page. It appears that my edit was mistakenly flagged by the edit filter.

I followed the guidelines provided in the instructions and ensured that my edit adhered to Wikipedia's standards. I have also checked the content of my edit and can confirm that it complies with all relevant policies. It is possible that the filter flagged my edit due to external links or other factors, but I assure you that there was no intention to violate Wikipedia's rules.

Could you please review the situation and reconsider the block? I am more than willing to provide any additional information or make necessary adjustments to comply with Wikipedia's guidelines.

Thank you for your understanding and assistance.

Best regards, MARKARVIN

Comments

Not done – The filter is working properly. The filter properly rejected the page creator's attempts to remove speedy deletion tags for (self) promotion, and the filter properly rejected Facebook links. —C.Fred (talk) 13:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further, although the filter rejected the edits, I see no evidence that this user has yet been blocked, either sitewide or from a particular page, although they have been reported to WP:AIV for spamming. —C.Fred (talk) 13:15, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
