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. Referentis (talk) 06:24, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]; I don't think we want to change the responsible filter at this time. You want to consider creating an account. Thanks for the report and sorry for the inconvenience. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 08:00, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Fixed by edit filter manager Daniel Quinlan. The false positive rate should be a bit better now, but I still recommend creating an account. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 08:29, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done – The filter is working properly. Referentis (talk) 12:35, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Referentis: Looks like this was a good faith edit that inadvertently tripped the LTA filter (which wasn't the one that disallowed the edit). The IP was trying to cite a tweet by SUFC for the attendance figure (and while we might need a better source, it's better than nothing). That tweet had emojis in the title, which triggered filter 680.

Done – The edit for this report has been implemented here, but no changes to the filter were made. Aydo h8^{[what have I done now?]} 12:40, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm planning to add this source to Glanford Park and Scunthorpe United F.C. aswell, so I'm not sure if it will be triggered again. But thanks for recognition. 37.203.125.57 (talk) 12:47, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As you are a non-confirmed user as an anonymous editor, it will trigger the filter again. I can add them for you. Aydo h8^{[what have I done now?]} 12:51, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've added those sources. Aydo h8^{[what have I done now?]} 13:01, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you guys, it would be impossible without you. Good to have both of you and thanks for understanding, really appreciate that! 37.203.125.57 (talk) 13:22, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aydoh8: Thank you, the Unicode font threw me off. Thanks for checking. Referentis (talk) 12:49, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
