Page you were editing: List of political disinformation website campaigns (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: While adding an edit, this message appeared:

```An automated filter has identified this edit as containing references to one of the following blogging / web host platforms: Angelfire, Blogger (including blogspot.com), Geocities, Google Drive, Livejournal, Rootsweb, WordPress.com. Please be aware that self-published sources rarely meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. They may be used only with caution and for non-controversial material where the blog or website is owned by the subject of the article (see WP:ABOUTSELF). Best practice is to discuss this on the Talk page first.```

The edit does include the term "blogspot.com". However, it is not as a reference or citation.

Page you were editing: User:TrademarkedTWOrantula (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Hello. I am trying to clarify that my account, TWOrantula, isn't my alt anymore because I use it more often than my first account, User:TrademarkedTarantula. There's an error that popped up saying that I wasn't allowed to edit my own user page because I am logged out. Why? I forced myself to take a Wikibreak (using the Wikibreak Enforcer) until June 15, 2024. Thank you.

Page you were editing: John Snow (public house) (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: The original author of the page cited a book on "british fiction" when referring to a homophobic incident at the pub in question. I removed two irrelevant citations and added relevant citations from legitimate news sources talking about the original incident and the protest aftermath. This is a constructive edit. I am assuming that the previous author did not intentionally imply that a reported news story was "fiction", but this does not look good either way. This edit needs to be allowed.
