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.

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]

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.

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

As-Salam al-Malaki (filter log) (user filter log)
Description
I was trying to change the romanization and line spacing of the lyrics. Before I could publish my changes, I was thrown with the error that these changes may be unconstructive. I don't believe this is the case, as I believe the edit I'm making is not that major. And if you check the filter logs, you can see multiple edits coming from me. It's the many attempts I tried to get my edits to publish if it weren't for the filter.

Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references. The edit seems constructive (and it being caught in the edit filter was an accident), but the whole "unofficial lyrics" section is very poorly sourced, and it could be good to have more than a YouTube video for it to be WP:DUE. – Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 15:16, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
