Page you were editing: The Boys season 4 (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Change summary - /* Episodes */ Ep 8 - changed "Sage later tells Homelander his plan has succeeded" to "her plan", as evidenced in her dialog "I just had to keep a few bits to myself - you know the bits you'd fuck up by being you.." and "So I went another way"

The plan as it worked out was not Homelander's plan. This is made clear in dialog, as explained in the change notes above... See this Imgur collection for screenshots of subtitled dialog

Page you were editing: Batman: Knightfall (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Just trying to be accurate with the events of the Knightfall story arc. Nightwing did attack Jean-Paul, though he did not attempt to murder him, since he lost the duel. It was the other way around.

Comments: Done and a change to the filter may be needed. In an ideal world, this shouldn't hit because of the dick_name regex, but I'm not sure how it could be implemented to not do so. – enbi [they/them] • [talk] 11:23, 27 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Page you were editing: Lupo the Butcher (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I am trying to revert an edit that introduced inaccurate information into the article. I have listened to the interview that is the source for the statement. At about 2:55, Antonucci describes Lupo having a bad day and blaming “fucking America.” It's not at all clear why the other editor felt it necessary to change from "America" to "Canada," particularly because the editor in question does not explain his/her/their edits.

I fail to see how that source supports the endorsement. OhNoitsJamie ^talk 23:09, 27 August 2026 (UTC)reply
