Page you were editing: Gina Rodriguez (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: A section of the article Gina Rodriguez attempts to explain a controversy in which she used the word “nigger” on social media. The section falls short of clarity and fails to describe the impact of the incident because the euphemism “the n-word” is used instead of the actual word. Per WP:EUPHEMISM, euphemisms are to be avoided as imprecise and less clear than the words they replace; even the article Nigger uses the word as the title and states that “the n-word” is a euphemism. I realize this is a hot button word, and I suspect that is why the bot prevented the edit. However, it is correct usage in this context.

Comments: Not done – The filter is working properly. WP:EUPHEMISM arguably doesn't necessarily apply here, I assume you would most likely be referencing WP:NOTCENSORED instead. It's not a bad argument to make, but I'm also not seeing the editorial value here, and would advise that you request on the talk page. There's not really much of a benefit to including the fuller version of the word into the article, and using "n-word" is a suitable alternative per WP:PROFANE.

Page you were editing: Eleanora (name) (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was about to make it a page. Because there is aleady an disambiguation page about that name. What’s the point of making an disambiguation page if there is an already existing disambiguation page? Think about it.;)
