Yeah, that's probably the "notable people" filter from a couple years ago, but this person does have an article and apparently is from there. I'll add it. Sorry, Drmies (talk) 02:22, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done though a change to the filter may be needed. I wonder if mentorship questions are a intended target of the filter. Nobody (talk) 08:56, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@1AmNobody24 Earlier log entries, such as Special:AbuseLog/39849028, show that this was spam disguised as mentorship questions. --Ahecht (TALK

Trying to add Jesse J as a former resident of Chadwell Heath in London/Essex in England, as it is stated on wikipedia itself that she was born and lived there, but on the notable/former residents she wasnt there

I gotcha bro--the "notable people" filter stopped it. I put it in there. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 15:03, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
