Draft:Liam Beville (filter log) (user filter log)
Description
I am the subject of Draft:Liam Beville and have disclosed my conflict of interest on my user page (User:Bevilleliam). I am trying to replace the draft with a version that adds inline citations, which the 11 October decline asked for. My edits are being disallowed by a filter. Could someone tell me which filter, or apply the edit for me? Thank you.

Note: At least part of the problem is that you didn't actually replace the old content, rather you essentially created a duplicate draft on the same page. – Taking Out The Trash (talk) 18:28, 25 October 2026 (UTC)

Jessy Sahota (filter log) (user filter log)
Description
Added in history such as background, political / policing career and achievements of Jessy Sahota. He has won for the Conservative Party of BC candidate for Surrey-Serpentine.
I think it may be triggered by the name of a Delta charity in the text, "Yo Bro Yo Girl Youth Initiative" (ybyg.ca). Could someone review it? Thanks.

1931 Transcontinental & Western Air Fokker F-10 crash (filter log) (user filter log)
Description
I was just trying to make the page less opinionated and make it more factual, the page was recommended for me to edit by a bot. I thought that the entire section wasn’t really adding anything to the article and seemed very promotional. I am quite new to editing Wikipedia articles so there is a real possibility what I did was not making an article less opinionated. I hope we can clear this up, I did not mean to cause any harm.
