- Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. Courtesy ping MusikAnimal. This is certainly a false positive, but I cannot implement your edit because it is a copyright violation. Please see WP:COPYVIO and WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE. If you would like to try again, consider suggesting an edit on the article's talk page. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:37, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Given how the filter works I don't think there's a safe way to fix this without letting a considerable amount of vandalism through. Nobody (talk) 18:02, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Going to just go ahead and echo this. Probably not the best idea to mess around with it too much, given there's a considerable amount of diddy-related vandalism as far as I was aware still. EggRoll97 (talk) 03:02, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

- I'm not quite sure how I got under this filter. I did not make this edit. But there was a false positive on me. How can I fix this situation? Thanks in advance. LeonStudying (talk) 00:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- @LeonStudying: I think you posted in the wrong thread, you don't have any edit filter hits related to this report. I did look at your filter log though and saw that you were trying to edit Huallanca mountain range. I don't know why your edit was blocked, but I have added it for you. If this happens again and you need to report a false positive, please use the "Click here to report a false positive" link at the top of the page, and follow the instructions. I'm going to create a report for this now so that someone who knows what they're doing can take a look at the filter, in case it needs to be tweaked. Thanks.

- Description
- We, the band The Chop Tops, were simply adding a link to a documentary we had three songs in under the film section and were rejected. Here is the code we were adding to the section:
- Robert Williams Mr. Bitchin' (2010)[1]
Please allow this add as it is legitimate and a cool highlight of the films we were involved in!
