- @Ohnoitsjamie also looks like a false positive, maybe we should check for the removed lines too, since the offending text was already present in the article? --DannyS712 (talk) 06:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

- Not done – The filter is working properly. @PockyKnight13!: There is no field in the infobox for phone numbers; they are rarely, if ever, included in articles. The filter correctly prevented you from adding a phone number that would not be displayed. —C.Fred (talk) 21:18, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, so there's no way to get it added so people can contact the proper company? PockyKnight13! (talk) 21:21, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- @PockyKnight13! First, Wikipedia is not a directory; we shouldn't be listing phone numbers here. Second, there is no published reliable source for he phone number. It's not even on the company's website. —C.Fred (talk) 21:24, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
