Page you were editing: Talk:Energetically modified cement (filter log)
Description: There is no coherent explanation of the process in the article. I have been requested by several, to share my explanation on the Talk Page. I have done this, then I have critiqued my own work, again, as requested, to show how I am unable to properly reference things, as this is not a well referenced subject. This is ONLY intended to be on the Talk Page, as an aid to other editors' working on the article. I mention many times, in this post, that my explanation does not meet Wikipedia standards, as it is not referenced properly, and I draw conclusions in it, which I myself, point out. Again, this is ONLY meant to be posted on the Talk Page, as a possible aid to other editors working on this. I do not intend to use any of it in the article, itself, nor do I intend to edit this article. I am leaving this to others. It is a bit long, but I do not understand what, in anything that I have written, could possibly have triggered a filter. Perhaps you can help me out, here. If I have written something inappropriate in some fashion by accident, I will be more than happy to remove it, if you can point it out to me.

Page you were editing: Automation (filter log)
Description: I'm trying to revert spam, first with Twinkle then manually. It seems I cannot save the edit even after enclosing the archive.is part of the URL inside HTML comments? Or is the filter objecting to the edit summary?

There's no way to add text to an article that refers to archive.is. That's per design of the filter.—Kww(talk) 23:12, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm experiencing the same issue. If there's project-wide consensus to never link to the archive.is website I guess it's OK to have the software disallow links to it, but why can't the text "archive.is" be included in an article if it's not a link, or even if it's inside a comment?
