Comments: Pinned – This thread has been pinned and will not be archived until this template has been removed. Pinning this so an EFM can take a look. I think to fix this issue we could just change !(added_lines irlike "syntaxhighlight|\{\|") to !(added_lines irlike "syntaxhighlight|<\/?math|\{\|"). – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 08:34, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I naïvely attempted to get around the (presumably broken) abuse filter by rewording my comment, but it still gets blocked. 🧙‍♀️ Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 01:52, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done – The edit for this report has been implemented, but no changes to the filter were made. I have modified your edit to remove the disruptive part of it. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 02:13, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do I have to change my signature? That's the only thing I can think of that could have triggered the filter. 🧙‍♀️ Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 02:18, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. You are unlikely to trigger the filter again. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 03:01, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description: Revise more accurately by citing multiple sources regarding the actors’ performances and gender representation, as well as the film’s historical reception. Revised some of the language to make it more precise and to avoid ambiguity. However, I was banned because I extensively revised the original content, and I believe this is unfair.

Description: Born on October 11, 2011, Zander Doull, affectionately known to his friends as "Uncle Zandor," has quietly carved out a unique space in the ever-evolving world of internet culture. While not widely known for grand public achievements, Zander's influence can be felt in the digital realm through his creative contributions to the meme landscape.

Zander is credited with originating several distinct and popular online phenomena. Among his notable creations are the enigmatic "smoo," the whimsical "beanis," and the catchy "heyiskibidi." These memes showcase a keen eye for humor and a natural understanding of internet trends, allowing him to connect with online communities and leave his mark.

His ability to craft relatable and shareable content at a young age highlights a growing trend of digital natives shaping online discourse. Zander's story, while perhaps not reaching mainstream headlines, underscores how individuals, particularly those with an innate grasp of internet culture, can create lasting impressions and contribute to the rich tapestry of online humor. "Uncle Zandor" stands as a testament to the power of grassroots creativity in the digital age.
