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: Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references. It looks like you want to add James Paxton (baseball) to this page, but the article doesn't mention that he used to live in Vancouver. Annh07 (talk) 18:23, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
