Keywords "cigarette" and "cigarette-smoking"
Someone is deleting the keyword cigarette and replacing it with cigarette-smoking again. It just happened to my submission of cigarette to The Tom and Jerry Cartoon Kit (1962) only hours after it was accepted. The film has cigarettes in it, but no smoking.
Not that there is any reason to delete the keyword cigarette anyway. I thought this issue had already been resolved.
Is it possible for the staff to flag any attempt to delete the keyword cigarette?

I just saw this post.
I can confirm that the same contributor who is replacing "husband" and "wife" on titles with "husband-wife-relationship" (a keyword edit that I support for titles where it actually applies) is also replacing "cigarette" with "cigarette-smoking" (a keyword edit that I strongly oppose) and is replacing keywords like "17-year-old-boy" with "17-year-old-teenage-boy" (a keyword edit that I oppose).
I have my suspicions as to who is doing these edits, but I will let that person come forward on their own.
Another example that used to happen (but seems to have ceased) was the mass replacement of the keyword "telephone-conversation" with "telephone-call" (even though those two keywords are not true duplicates).

Hi @jay_spirit -
My apologies for the delayed response. I can confirm that "cigarette" keyword has been reinstated on the title page. If you experience any further suspicious removals/replacements, let us know and we can investigate further.
