Page you were editing: Rosie O'Donnell (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was trying to add the fact that she had a cameo appearance in a BFDI episode, using a TikTok she made confirming her appearance as a source; My reasoning for this is that, though the RfC is not yet over, the consensus is that this should be mentioned in the article if there is a reliable source for it, and the criteria of "The celebrity who cameo'd confirming that they cameo'd" was used for TomSka's page.
