Page they were editing: Foot in Mouth (EP) (filter log)
Description: This user was adding a personnel section about the band who performed this EP on that article, and they were warned with the standard warning message and tagged as possible vandalism as they submitted the edit after the warning. This appears to be a legitimate user and not a vandal, and this was triggered on the word Cool when adding Tré Cool - drums.

@Ohnoitsjamie also looks like a false positive, maybe we should check for the removed lines too, since the offending text was already present in the article? --DannyS712 (talk) 06:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DannyS712: I don't think this is a false positive personally. The edit summary seems disruptive and this addition seems unsourced. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 02:31, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
