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.

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]

Hello,

I was trying to create an article for a YouTuber Liam Parsons, which the source was supposed to be the about page of YouTube channel LiamBPars, but it wouldn’t let me, can anyone fix this or should you create the article? Techmaster2223 (talk) 07:28, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While the filter hit is a false positive I think, there's no way that youtuber meets WP:GNG or WP:ENT. Nobody (talk) 07:41, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed this. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 12:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
