Page you were editing: Fire in the hole (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was editing Fire in the hole to add a note to let people know not to vandalize the article to add things related to Geometry Dash. The note read, "Please do not add information about the Lobotomy Dash meme within Geometry Dash. While the meme may be funny, Wikipedia is not the place for it.". The edit filter blocked that edit saying it was nonconstructive.

The reason I added the note was because a similar note is on Dream Island so people don't vandalize the article to be about BFDI. People vandalize Fire in the hole to be about Geometry Dash similarly to how Dream Island is vandalized to be about BFDI, so I felt that the article needed a similar note to that of Dream Island.

Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. Only admins can make that change due to how the filter works. Jamie is there a reason for excluding extended confirmed? Nobody (talk) 05:25, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done – The edit for this report has been implemented, however no changes to the filter were made. Because there was at least one instance of an extended confirmed user who's apparently a Geometry Dash fan. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:51, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to format the invisible comment by adding a space and a period at the end, and it looks like I tripped that filter again and saw the standard abusefilter-disallowed message, even though I am not an LTA. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 22:43, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the comment so that shouldn't happen again. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:46, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Pomaks in Greece are fluent in both Greek and Turkish. I live in the Northeastern part of Greece and I'm very familiar with the Pomaks.

Description: Fixing broken internal link. The linked page ("Gensler-Lee Diamonds") does not exist, so I pulled a short description of the subject "now-defunct local San Francisco Bay Area retailer, Gensler-Lee Diamonds" from another article.

Page you were editing: Equipartition theorem (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was adding text to the equipartition theorem article clarifying why the zero point energy of the quantum harmonic oscillator could be ignored. I am very confused why this is considered a prohibited action, as it seems like the entire point of the site to clarify and improve the presentation of information.
