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]

Description: Clive Clarke is a prominent performer (the bartender) in the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up, and - by extension - a significant part of the Internet Meme; Rickrolling. Even excluding this link, his career justifies a Wikipedia entry.

Page you were editing: RustDesk (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: adding a reference (apparently self-published by the RustDesk team, but I thought it was relevant support for a non-controversial statement). I'm surprised that the edit filter triggered, since the website isn't mentioned at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.
Date and time: 19:53, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
Comments: Already done by DavidCary. dev.to was recently added to the filter, it's a self-published source. Most self-published sources are unreliable and are generally not accepted as sources. Annh07 (talk) 20:27, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
