Tags in edit history
Hey, GN! Just for the record, no experienced editor is going to look at that tag and think it means you're a vandal. They're purely to make sure that possibly problematic edits, especially to articles about living people, are checked quickly by other editors. It's to prevent Wikipedia from having problematic content in articles about living people for any longer than it takes for someone to get there to check. If your edit had been reverted as vandalism, that's when other editors might think that about you. —valereee (talk) 16:13, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

To echo what Valereee said – every experienced recent changes patroller worth their salt knows that filter tags catch tons of false positives. Being tagged can be an upsetting experience, but it does not mean that your edit must have been problematic. And the good news is that many edit filters are set up to trust accounts with a longer contribution history. As you continue to edit Wikipedia, the chances that you get tagged by a filter will go down and down. Your contributions have been valuable to Wikipedia, and I hope that you will decide to stay. I am sorry that you had a rough welcome to Wikipedia – the Administrator's Noticeboard has been likened to the Great Dismal Swamp – but if you ever want to chat or have a question, feel free to stop by my talk page and drop me a message.
