Page you were editing: Special:MovePage (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: With the guidance of editors, I am trying to produce an unbiased company page. It is currently being reviewed and I am adding more citations as I can find them.

I was asked to move the page from "dolphitech AS" to "dolphitech"

I then messed up by making a copy/paste of the old page to the new page, rather than using the MOVE function.

The editors kindly deleted the new "dolphitech" page and the "dolphitech AS" page remains under review.

If it is successful, please help me to move this page to "dolphitech" in line with the editors guidance!

Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. You attempted to move the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dolphitech AS, rather than attempting to move the page Dolphitech AS, so I'm declining for now. That being said, I have no idea why the filter is doing this—it's well outside of its described purpose—so I'm going to take a look into why that is. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 20:38, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I understand the technical reason the filter is doing this. What I hadn't understood was why that filter was designed that way. There's a related discussion on Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/SPI/Clerks. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 17:29, 23 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Description: I saw this in the filter logs, not sure if it's a false positive since I can't see it(worth checking if it isn't as well), but based on the name of the page and their one edit, it looks like they were just potentially doing the "The Wikipedia Adventure" and got disallowed by a filter. Although to be honest I had never heard of The Wikipedia Adventure before either.; Note: The log id is an educated guess, tiny chance it could be wrong.
