Description: I was trying to add in the sources that are very reliable and safe for me to use on my class assignment, but it wouldn't let me Publish because it's claiming that it is considered to be a Proxy website, even though I didn't obtain it there.
Date and time: 03:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Comments: Question: @Sa96700: If the website has a cite-button, could you try that instead of copy-pasting the URL into the editor? A Proxy in this case means a kind of proxy that makes it so that you have access to the resources (you'd need to pay a subscription otherwise) Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 03:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Consider requesting on the article's talk page to add the desired link. Nothing in the article for the actor states that he graduated from this school so please provide a reference that says so. Also please put the text in your link as 'David Holmes (actor)' and the filter won't disallow your edit. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 14:47, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sources you're using are no where near reliable enough for the type of allegations you're trying to discuss. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources discuss video footage, of which is publicly available. HagenBradley (talk) 17:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless, It should be allowed on a talk page even if the reply is simply “no”

It is a talk page for discussion of the article, not for further censorship. This whole discussion right now should be happening on that talk page not here. HagenBradley (talk) 18:00, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BLP violating material is not allowed anywhere on Wikipedia, including talk pages. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By reviewing this user's filter log, the filter that tracks additions of deprecated sources on talk pages seems to work properly having tripped on dailycaller.com, and another log-only vandalism filter tripped on PAEDOPHIL per FilterDebugger. An admin/EFH/EFM familiar with the private talk page abuse filter should check if it is working as intended. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 18:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Hot Tuna (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I added the sentence "They initially called the group Hot Shit, but then decided on the more innocuous title Hot Tuna.

ref https://www.mtv.com/news/xtb45s/jefferson-airplanes-jorma-kaukonen

in the German wiki version it specifically states this. "Hot Tuna (englisch für „Heißer Thunfisch“) ist eine US-amerikanische Bluesrock-Band, ein Ableger von Jefferson Airplane, der ursprünglich Hot Shit (englisch für „Heiße Scheiße“) hieß."[1] ref https://www.allmusic.com/artist/hot-tuna-mn0000268871
