Page you were editing: Hispania (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was not reported for removing a description for the webpage that produced substance, it was a non sequitor written in spanish. The text that I wish to remove reads as follows: "Y se agotó mientras que le aspiraban la saliva en el dentista a Idina Menzel y el se quedó agotado dentro de la boca de Idina Menzel"

Comments: Already done. Vandalism was already reverted. You triggerred the filter because you removed the short description template, which should not be removed from an article. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 20:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description: Following several attempts to add information about ongoing news controversies in an unbiased way, an individual in the Dominican Republic hired by the elected representative consistently continues to remove the material and flag it as abuse. Of course, they only remove material that is perceived as negative about the state representative, even if it is true and unbiased. The material added to the page was not abuse. There are citations for everything discussed and listed. These ongoing controversies are well known throughout the state of Florida in publications, such as the Orlando Sentinel, and local news stations. Every reference has been appropriately listed and are all from an authoritative news organizations. The public deserves to know this information, and it is a miscarriage of journalism and education to remove it from the page as a result of a hired PR consultant doing so from a foreign country.

Page you were editing: Eisenstein integer (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: A caption erroneously describes the Eisenstein lattice as "the intersection points of a triangular lattice in the complex plane".

Instead, I tried to correct this to "the points of a certain lattice in the complex plane".

For some reason this was not allowed. The "automated filter" gave me an explanation that said something about not changing the "short description" of the article.

I know nothing about any "short description" of the article, or why the filter objected to my entirely appropriate correction.

(I am a Ph.D. mathematician. Anyone who calls the points of a lattice 'intersection points" does not know what a mathematical lattice means.)

Not done – The filter is working properly. The problem was your removal of part of the short description ("lattice))" --> "lattic") Acroterion (talk) 23:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
