Page you were editing: Talk:Anti-pedophile activism (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was submitting an edit request for disambiguation of a term and fixing of a redirect, which the system marked as "potentially unconstructive". I do not believe this to be the case.
Date and time: 02:57, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
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. Duckmather (talk) 03:45, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Done and a change to the filter may be needed. I don't think the page title should trigger on filter 478.

Page you were editing: Sabine Hossenfelder (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: HI,

I was trying to update the article on Sabine Hossenfelder with two paragraphs discussing her turning away from Science Communication on her YouTube channel into a major figure in the anti-science movement but this got flagged by auto-filtering.

Comments: Not done – The filter is working properly. This content is unsourced. You also triggered the filter by inserting a large number of newlines/pressing the enter key too many times. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 01:27, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
