Confidential person warning

I modified this profile today, adding suggested record information, but for some reason this person is showing a confidentiality note. The person is deceased, all records are visible. Spouse, children, and parents don't have this note.

    It is likely to have happened because the data that you entered included a place which FamilySearch considers sensitive. There have been a number of discussions here on this topic; you can search for "confidential" via the search icon in the Community toolbar. There is some information available in this Help article: How do Family Tree profiles get marked as confidential?

    I think that, if you look at the change log for the profile that (only) you can see, you will find that it was created by you at the time that you made the change or soon thereafter. Its profile ID would be different from the one where you originally entered the information. The original profile would, I presume, have also been made confidential to the user who created it.
