- 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) Not done – Filter 1233 is working as intended, as you have not added punctuation.
