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.

Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. – SuperJames888 (Talk to me) 19:58, 28 September 2026 (UTC)reply

If an editor with access to the private filter has a moment, I'd appreciate a prompt review of this false positive. The full draft text is in my sandbox if that helps. Rkaruman (talk) 21:00, 28 September 2026 (UTC)reply

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Was a false positive. Filter change would make sense I think. – Nobody (talk) 05:04, 29 September 2026 (UTC)reply

This could be fixed with a word boundary on line 17. Codename Noreste /// ⭐️✨ 13:57, 2 October 2026 (UTC)reply

Description: Was trying to reply on talk page but was blocked for message being unconstructive - simply trying to reply to the source issues

"The source says Headline: "The opening scene of the Little Grandad biopic fades up on an open mic night in East London." (The Windmill is not in East London, it is in Brixton, which is in South London).

"...It was the last week of that open mic; they don’t even run it anymore,” Harry says of the event at Haggerston Signature Brew"

So no they did not meet at the Windmill.

They played their first show as "Little Grandad" at the New Music Monday night at the Windmill. https://www.windmillbrixton.co.uk/events/2025-07-28-new-music-mondays-the-windmill

They have gone on to share that an open mic night is actually just how Harry met Ned, as Harry and Jack obviously knew each other as brothers, Jack knew Ned through Saya (from Mary in the Junkyard) who Ned lives with and who Jack was tour managing for, and Jack and Jimmy were in a band together previously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HskSHWV8Y6A"

~~(deny removed) While these numbers (6 and 7) are funny, it's not appropriate to add on articles. — SimpleObjects-9ei 🍂/🌰/🤗 (see talk) 01:45, 5 October 2026 (UTC)~~reply

Note: @~2026-52705-05 After re-checking with a Google Search, "67 Mason Street" appears to be a completely legit location of the U.S. if excluding results for the meme. I'm very sure you meant this Mason Street in California, so your edit assumes good faith. — SimpleObjects-9ei 🍂/🌰/🤗 (see talk) 01:54, 5 October 2026 (UTC)reply

The link they provided showed that the hotel wasn't at 67 Mason Street, but at 56 Mason Street. SuperJames888 (Talk to me) 02:20, 5 October 2026 (UTC)reply

https://www.thclinic.org/en/properties/bristol-hotel/

"hotel owner says 56 Mason Street", oops , first I tried copy-paste from URL, later I mistyped the number

also, I could not add just the <ref>

can you try adding the correct #, 56, and the <ref> ?
