- Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references. This is kind of weird because the line below the lyrics says the line with asterisks isn't public, so I'd suggest discussing on the talk page first. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 13:39, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

- Not done – In general, "notable people" lists and similar are only meant for people who already have articles about them. If you think this person meets our notability guidelines, please see Help:Your first article. If you think an exception should be made here, please discuss the matter on the article's talk page.

- Hmm, I don't know how to change or turn off the filter, but I agree with most of what you were trying to do here. I do need you to look at WP:OVERLINK: don't link common words like "unpopularity" or "cover up". I'm sure someone here knows what to do about the filter/edit. Drmies (talk) 20:28, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

- Description
- Reverting a series of edits that blanked most all sources for the article. It's possible an old proxy source was among those, but there is a need to restore this to the previous (sourced) state. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- I checked and there was an Ebscohost link in there, so not a false positive. It would have been helpful, however, if there was a way to manage within the revert process. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:47, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
