Page you were editing: Draft:Juca Máximo (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was trying to save an English translation of the Portuguese Wikipedia article as a draft, not publish it in mainspace. The save was disallowed by the filter described as "Memes and vandalism trends (moomer slang + zoomer slang)". The draft includes references, attribution to the Portuguese article in the edit summary, and the LLM-assisted translation template requesting bilingual human review. I believe this may be a false positive. Could a filter maintainer review the logged edit and advise whether the draft can be saved? This request concerns the filter only, not approval of the article's content or notability. This report was prepared with AI assistance at my request.

Page you were editing: Mabel Bassett (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: Correct error. Basset was not replaced by Cook in 1947. Bassett was defeated by Cook in 1946 and was defeated again in 1950 when she tried to regain that office from Cook and obviously did not retire from politics in 1947 since she ran to regain that office in the next election for that office.

Page you were editing: Draft:Venkata Subbaiah Karumanchi (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I tried to create Draft:Venkata Subbaiah Karumanchi at 19:52 UTC on 28 September 2026. The edit was disallowed by a filter described as "Fixed position vandalism"; filters 147 and 148 also logged a possible autobiography. This is a good-faith sourced biographical draft about my great-grandfather, not vandalism. I have a family conflict of interest and will disclose it on the draft talk page if the draft is created. Could an experienced editor review the false positive and, if appropriate, make the edit on my behalf? The draft text is available for review.

The full draft text is in my sandbox if that helps. Rkaruman (talk) 21:00, 28 September 2026 (UTC)reply

Page you were editing: Sadako 3D (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was expanding the Sadako 3D article with sourced Production, Marketing and release, and Reception material. The edit adds citations to Kadokawa, Cinema Today, Eiga.com, Oricon, the Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan, and film-review sources. The edit filter prevented publication, but I believe this is a constructive edit and a false positive. Could an edit-filter helper please review the logged edit?

Page you were editing: Trueno (rapper) (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I had the timeline on the corresponding spanish page for Trueno machine translated, since all of that info was missing on this one, then heavily edited it myself to smooth things over. I also updated the timeline to be up-to-date, since it was outdated past like 2023, freshened up the overview, and added the public image section. I did it in multiple sittings since this was like a two day ordeal, and because of that I had to paste my writing as source code into the source editor. And since this is basically an overhaul of half the page, I pasted my whole source text over everything. All the information that didn't need updating is still there. It was flagged as unconstructive, though, so my edit didn't go through.
