Why are harambe edits being reverted? We need to write about his execution. 184.91.99.69 (talk) 15:08, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that is because people kept adding that name to non-harambe articles, such as this edit to Uptown Funk. That is why the name Harambe is pink blood. You see, when this event was newer, it somehow turned into a meme, and thus an edit filter was made to prevent this. Great way to ruin this name for everyone else as well. Many legitimate users, as you can see at the comprehensive abuse filter log for this article, tried to add this event under 2016, and they were greeted with an error message. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.189.182.7 (talk) 02:41, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
