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)[reply]

  • 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.

    • Thank you! I'll go through and delete common word links. I think the filter got mad at an internal link to a page for sexually explicit photos sent via text. I can delete that link and hopefully the filter will be appeased. QueenBuzz (talk) 20:33, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • That was probably it, yes. Good luck. Drmies (talk) 20:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
