Page they were editing: 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 when adding Tré Cool - drums.

Not done – The filter is working properly. Also don't try to edit war your picture into the article. Take it to the articles talk page. Nobody (talk) 13:10, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are edit waring NO need for the thumb removal at all!!! This is nonsense..... I have only been back on Wikipedia a few days and already having a pointless issue with another editor who thinks they know best!!!!!! NO COMMENT ABOUT BEING LABELED OBSTRUCTIVE JUST FOR ADDING A THUMB TO A ARTICLE!!!!! From the look of this the plaque is where someone lifted the information from in the first place in all likelihood! The editor who created the article is the one labelling ME OBSTRUCTIVE!!!!!!!!!!! I also called the same editor out on this article for HIS opinion that COWAL should't be mentioned on Wikipedia!

Further discussion on the article talk page.2A00:23C6:CE0F:6D01:5D1A:97DA:20B0:71C4 (talk)

That's where the discussion belongs, since it does not relate to the filter, which is functioning properly. —C.Fred (talk) 19:13, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How long will a response from the filter helper or manager take?

Will the edit be safed until then? 2A02:3036:267:566C:80C0:68B5:4EBC:BDD3 (talk) 17:14, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
