Additional parameters
When declining a request, either using P or D, an optional second parameter can be given to further explain why the request was declined (for example, {{request edit|P|ADV}} for a partial-block decline for advertising). The additional text values are given below.
ADV- Some or all of the changes may be promotional in tone.
V- Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works.
O- The suggested edits are good, but the reviewer felt omissions in the content may create balance issues.
R- The changes suggested removing content that is well-cited or where sources exist.
D- The reviewer would like to request the editor with a COI attempt to discuss with editors engaged in the subject-area first.
A- The reviewer requests that the COI editor implement the proposed edits directly.

T- A reviewer felt that this edit would not improve the article.
C- A consensus could not be reached.
custom rationale- Adds a custom rationale supplied by the editor
