Talk:Anti-pedophile activism (filter log) (user filter log)

Description

I was submitting an edit request for disambiguation of a term and fixing of a redirect, which the system marked as "potentially unconstructive". I do not believe this to be the case.

Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. Duckmather (talk) 03:45, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. I don't think the page title should trigger on filter 478. Nobody (talk) 06:07, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. Annh07 (talk) 21:49, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]; No change to the filter is needed. The edit isn't what the filter is trying to block, but I'm disclined to make it as it doesn't really make the article better (and I think the attempt at exhaustively listing the vocabulary of a dialect isn't useful), and in any case is unsourced on an article with an original research tag.

Description: I was trying to add Phillips' recent appearance as a guest on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars to the page - I believe it's being marked unconstructive because I didn't include a source, but I wasn't sure exactly what source to add
