List_of_municipalities_in_Connecticut (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

The header cell labels in the cities table are misaligned. I am trying to add a "Percent Change" header cell since that is what's missing. This change is being automatically flagged as "Potentially unconstructive" and I cannot publish it.

Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 03:58, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm not sure I really see anything to be changed. It's a false positive, but most of the edits caught in this filter are fairly good, so this may well just be acceptable collateral damage. Feel free to let me know if you think there's a change that would fix this though. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 04:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: 2015 Cross River State gubernatorial election (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: The content of the article in question seemed to be accurate and well-sourced, however, it was not up to the style and tone of Wikipedia. Therefore, I rewrote the article for consistency.
Date and time: 03:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Comments: Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. Both 1295 and 384 tripped on a typo, "who received" as "whoreceived." Might want to use a \b or something after each word. Rusty 🐈 04:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Śūnyatā (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: There is a misunderstanding in explaining the meaning of Śūnyatā, as well as an error in suggesting that it is an Indian concept with connections to other traditions, which is incorrect. In fact, it is a Buddhist concept, specifically associated with Mahāyāna Buddhism, and I have corrected this.

Page you were editing: List of Disney animated films based on fairy tales (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: All I was trying to do was add a few more words to the feature films section. Both Tangled and Frozen's descriptions say "computer-animated and released in 3D". I wanted to change both of them to "A computer-animated and released in 3D" because that would be more grammatical and because the first letter of a sentence is always capitalized.

Description: Unable to add an important alumnus of a high school- not me or a friend- apparently because he has no page. So how does anyone get a page? Basically you are valuing social media “famous “ people over those with real accomplishments and there is no evident appeal process
