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]

Page you were editing: Rosie O'Donnell (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Greetings. I have located a primary source for Rosie O'Donnell's role as Mirror, and have attempted to insert her inclusion into the article, citing that and the Jacknjellify community page as reference. WP:NOTABILITY has an exemption for lists and content within articles, and the page for TomSka also has a credit for BFDI with a Twitter post and the same Jacknjellify community post as sources. I admit I am quite new to editing on Wikipedia despite my 5 year account history, so my knowledge on this subject may be a bit rusty. If any of this breaks Wikipedia policies, please let me know.
