Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. (automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 05:18, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While I'm not an edit filter helper or manager, based on your other edits, it seems like the problem here might be your username rather than the contents of your edits. JJP_{Mas_ter} (she/they) 05:21, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Checking with the edit filter managers to see if changes need to be made.: JJPMaster is correct, and the attempted edits seem good. I request that either an EFM add an exception (Or maybe just remove line 10 of filter 1062? That feels like it would be better as a title blacklist entry?), or that an admin add confirmed. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm with the middle option of removing line 10. Codename Noreste (talk) 04:42, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've implemented this filter change. @RickRolled7676: should be good to try again. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 05:49, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description: Wanted to change the casing/title to be more Wiki-appropriate, and I added a new additional source that might be better than the existing one, a press release rather than a dead Youtube link.

Comments: You still haven't triggered any filters on your userpage User:MemeLOL2025. You did trigger filters on Funny video, but, as mentioned previously, the filters were working correctly, as none of your edits there have been constructive.
