Comment: This user is likely tripping filters because the following line is being added with their edit: 1996 Hitler Industry Hit. I ran the attempted edit against the edit filter that I built and maintain (filter #53), and verified that this is the line that caused it to trigger a positive hit and flag it. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:02, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
