False positive when reporting another false positive

"An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive"

Got this error when trying to inform some users about Special:Contributions/Veer sinh 21, returning sockpuppet Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Akshay Singh Rajput Thakur/Archive

When I tried to report a false positive, I got same error

I can confirm that this is a case of false positives. The IP editor was trying to report a block-evading sockpuppet, which I have now blocked. JBW (talk) 14:10, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Improperly placed report

Banishment Act of 1778

I would like to add Reverend Mather Byles Jr to the list of notable figures included on Massachusetts Banishment Act. He is included in the listed citation and was the loyalist reverend at the Old North Church who left his position immediately prior to the events of April 18, 1775. Additional citation: https://www.oldnorth.com/blog/this-old-pew-6-rev-mather-byles-jr/ Taraharkon (talk) 14:24, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Taraharkon -

Not done – In general, "notable people" lists and similar are only meant for people who already have articles about them. If you think this person meets our notability guidelines, please see Help:Your first article. If you think an exception should be made here, please discuss the matter on the article's talk page. Also, this is the talk page for discussing the report system itself, not the place to report.

Mistake in linking page

Hi there,

I wanted to briefly say that in my report, I did not know that the page name would be linked without brackets; I added them not knowing it would turn out weird. The page name is Rocco Grimaldi. I apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you. Losipov (talk) 05:33, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Problem, NEED to be solved

Hello Administrators out there, the word JAYSON CESAR LORENZO BAUTISTA can't be added in an article, it was banned I think, I just wanna put the name of him because he is the current editor of movie Lilet Matias: Attorney-at-Law Mood segregate (talk) 00:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I solved the problem by blocking you again. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:20, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
