Description: I was trying to add in the sources that are very reliable and safe for me to use on my class assignment, but it wouldn't let me Publish because it's claiming that it is considered to be a Proxy website, even though I didn't obtain it there.
Date and time: 03:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Comments: Question: @Sa96700: If the website has a cite-button, could you try that instead of copy-pasting the URL into the editor? A Proxy in this case means a kind of proxy that makes it so that you have access to the resources (you'd need to pay a subscription otherwise) Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 03:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Hot Tuna (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I added the sentence "They initially called the group Hot Shit, but then decided on the more innocuous title Hot Tuna.

ref https://www.mtv.com/news/xtb45s/jefferson-airplanes-jorma-kaukonen

in the German wiki version it specifically states this. "Hot Tuna (englisch für „Heißer Thunfisch“) ist eine US-amerikanische Bluesrock-Band, ein Ableger von Jefferson Airplane, der ursprünglich Hot Shit (englisch für „Heiße Scheiße“) hieß."[1] ref https://www.allmusic.com/artist/hot-tuna-mn0000268871
