- 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)- 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)
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)

- Description
- First of all don't tell the content or anything about the person who I have uploaded or in the articles I have written is completely false, told as a rumor or speculation by someone else. The reason some people may think it's a fact is that it's completely false and this is not a fake person. I have talked to him personally. He works From his home town, it comes up perfectly. It's about how many just want to score his area. I have read much about him. I have talked to him. There Other people like him, I have also read about them and in future times I am going to publish an article about them one by one

- Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy (filter log) (user filter log)
- Description
- I was attempting to make a good-faith request concerning a Wikipedia article about a living person. I was trying to follow Wikipedia's Articles for Deletion process and submit the article for community review because I have concerns about the accuracy, sourcing, and BLP compliance of some of the content. The edit was blocked by an automated filter. I believe this may have been a false positive because I was attempting to follow Wikipedia's established deletion and BLP processes in good faith.
