- Description
- Edit filter seems to be getting tripped by the fact that the editor's username is in all caps and contains the letters W, A, N, and K, in that order. There should be some allowance in the filter for the editor's own username being in all caps. Edits also seem to have triggered filters 1055 and 1241.

Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made. I can't imagine why this innocuous edit triggered a filter, and would like it to be reviewed. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:46, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like it's the "was here" that triggered the filter. I don't think much could be changed without allowing a fair bit of vandalism. C F A 💬 18:54, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- That does make sense, thanks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:09, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

- Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- The content I'm trying to post shows that the issue of cultural bias is invalid, with the "IQ" test for Black people being based on knowledge, rather than IQ, which is not the same thing.
