Page you were editing: List of diss tracks (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I added information about Molly Brazy's and Rocky Badd's diss tracks against each other and I did a lot of research for it

(automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 12:19, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Question: From what I see the list only includes songs that either it or the artist has a article.(WP:WTAF) Based on that Molly Brazy should be removed right?

Page you were editing: Economic impact of immigration to Canada (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I am changing a bias statement that indicates a false statistic.

Removing the inaccurate claim that “a 10% rise in immigration reduces all wages by 4%” because the cited StatsCan document does not say this. Correcting the statement to reflect Aydemir & Borjas’s finding (3–4% effect within specific skill groups, not across the entire economy). Adding context from Statistics Canada indicating that overall wage impacts are generally small.

(automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 02:10, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Note: Given the amount of recent edit warring about the inclusion of BFDI credit, it is best for it to be discussed on the talk page either way. – Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 02:13, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references.
