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.

Description
I tried to create the page for a notable subject since he has a page in the German and Italian Wikipedias, but not in English. I don't understand why this was considered an error. I am an academic and have edited Wikipedia pages many times in the past.

Description
Wanted to ask mentor a question. Question I wanted to ask is the following: Hi, hope you are well! I was hoping you could help explain how to cite things properly. I have used Wikipedia in the past, years ago but lost my old account. I was reading up on how to properly cite but was a bit confused. For specific refence I added the current Mayor of Wilder KY but would like to add the reference I used for that.
