Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. DannyS712 (talk) 00:43, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed @Reaper14th: You should be able to make the edit now. But please consider gaining some more familiarity with Wikipedia before getting involved with such a highly controversial subject. At least, read the recent discussion on the same subject before deciding if you have something to add. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:13, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Looks fine, requesting another editor take a look. I'm not sure whether that's a reliable link, given that it's a Youtube URL as opposed to an independent source, such as a newspaper or journal. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 15:58, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I watched that video, so you don't have to. Thank me. No, it's not even close to a reliable source, even for a YouTube Video. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:20, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, like a lot. I had a feeling, given the title of the video as seen in the ref, that it probably didn't have a lot of reliable content. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 21:32, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: [[Scotch Bonnet Ridge]] (filter log)
Description: I purchased what I thought was an excellent well-researched book on lighthouses of Lake Ontario, published by Trafford Publishing. A robot warned me not to use it, implying Trafford is an unreliable vanity publisher. The robot did not, however, offer any guidiance as to how to find the discussion that lead to Trafford being blacklisted.

I am in no doubt that this book is a reliable source, and I really wonder if it should be proscribed, even if, for the sake of argument, the publisher may also have published some unreliable vanity crap.

Not done – The filter is working properly. The filter didn't stop you from making the edit, but it was working properly - Trafford Publishing is a company for self-publishing, so it should not always be regarded as a reliable source DannyS712 (talk) 04:52, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Page you were editing: Brian Fisher sociopolitical commentator (filter log)
Description: All that’s recorded on this page is what Mr. Fisher is against and some other facts from a discredited organization that have been politicized. I was cleaning up the page, leaving some of the controversial things and removing patently false information. Also I added some other things he stands for and against to give a broader idea instead of just one side. Thank you for always trying to see both sides of a situation. You guys are great!
