Note: Filter triggered was a Proxy filter. Needs review. – SuperJames888 (Talk to me) 02:05, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Question: Hey, can you please explain why this reference leads to a registration form? Are you aware of this?‎ ‎ — B.J (talk) 02:08, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

@B.J: Looks like it's a university library link that leads to https://www.fulcrum.org/epubs/m326m4543?locale=en (registration needed). Note that that page lists WP:TWL as a login method. ~ rusty ^meow ~ 01:24, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

I can confirm this is a legitimate link. TWL does work with this, and (with a small amount of work) it does lead to a publication which appears to support the addition. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 01:28, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Description: I added information about a song called Fuck the Church. I believe the edit was blocked for the title alone, but that is what the song is called.

(Non-administrator comment) Declined The filter is working correctly. Archive.today has been deprecated due to credibility concerns regarding the owner of the website. Please use the Internet Archive instead. TheTechie (she/they) 19:25, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
