Page you were editing: Draft:Logitech E-UC2 (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I tried to create a page for the Logitech E-UC2 Driving Force wheel
Date and time: 17:06, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
Comments: Report fixed – Another user has fixed the page title in this report. Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 19:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]; Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. A private sockpuppetry filter was triggered, so I don't feel like allowing this creation. However, 31 (hist · log), specifically the regex [B38][-=]{2,}D, detected 3--D in a URL as ASCII art. The URL actually seems to work; see [1]. Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 19:12, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Nobody (talk) 05:31, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Removing the string from the filter seems like the easiest way to fix this, but I'll wait a short bit for any opinions before I make the change. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 05:47, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging Jamie for Input. Nobody (talk) 08:55, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Would you hop on my talk page? I have a long standing article that has been a subject of controversy. It’s a 70/30 split I’d say against the article. I find myself sympathetic as the writing is decent, but in the end there are good, policy-based arguments that may stand. Help advise? Again it’s a well written piece, just may not be for Wikipedia. Let me know. -NW NotabilityWatch (talk) 09:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for your clarification. Again, just making sure I,’m following to the rules. NotabilityWatch (talk) 06:41, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. NotabilityWatch (talk) 12:18, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Geography of Peru (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was trying to add current information about the eight natural regions of Peru. I put on references, bibliography and sources, however it won't let me add any information (I'm not erasing any).

There is an actual article about it in the Spanish Wikipedia. It might be convenient to check it out instead of blocking information for nothing.

I left you the article in the Spanish Wiki just in case (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_ocho_regiones_naturales_del_Per%C3%BA)

Would you be so kind to instruct me on how to proceed for the change or whom should I address? AnniAriel (talk) 04:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
