- Edit kind: I was trying to make a slight typographic correction to an existing image, as the image did not read properly in the original language. Wikipedia sent me to the wizard that created a separate intry, when in practice I wanted to introduce my version to this page, wich is almost identical to the previous versions.
- Comments: I'm new to editing in wikipedia, I may be doing something wrong, I'm certainly don't trying to abuse anyone, only to make a very slight correction, probably imperceptible to ayone who doesn't speak the language of the image (Yiddish). Royte1897 (talk) 22:26, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Please avoid doing those things. Pinging @Geagea re the spelling. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 09:47, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

- My apologies, Jeff, my intention was not to create vandalism but to make a slight improvement over a visual resource in my area of academic expertise. Neither I wanted to act as an annonimous, I only today found out that t link asking me to confirm my email was sitting in my junk box (I know, I should have checked it sooner).
- I only want to make a slight correction in one letter that is wrong.

- Edit kind: I added source/blazon/attribution information to properly credit sources and creators of various assets. This was undone by another editor because I left "Other versions" in the COAInformation template rather than "versions" which is what COAInformation uses instead. I readded my source information, but now it is blocked. All I want to do is properly credit those that created the assets for the different parts of my svg file as required by Creative Commons licenses.

Please do not do that, as such edits by new and anonymous users are considered to be vandalism.

- Edit kind: I was trying to edit the page “TaiNgonheng” to improve its structure and make the content more neutral and encyclopedic. This included rewriting sections to reduce promotional language and organizing the information into standard article format.
The abuse filter appeared to flag my edit as potentially promotional or autobiographical content, which may have triggered the warning/block.
- Comments: I attempted to edit the page “TaiNgonheng” to improve the content by making it more neutral and encyclopedic. Specifically, I was trying to remove promotional language and rewrite sections in a more objective tone.
However, my edit was blocked by the abuse filter. The warning appeared to be related to possible promotional or autobiographical content.
My intention was not to promote, but to restructure the article to better follow Wikipedia’s neutral point of view and formatting guidelines. I also reduced technical detail and removed CV-style descriptions to make the content more appropriate.
If this edit triggered the filter incorrectly, I would appreciate guidance on how to adjust the content to comply with Wikipedia standards. TaiNgonheng (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

- Hi, and many thanks for the answer. I'm not a new user, the two articles I am now working on are "Logarithmic norm" (where I wrote the original article sometime around 2010) and "Stiff equation". Both are within my professional research, here I have published extensively on the topics in academic channels. I finished uploading the first article by the end of April, and started the uploading of the second a few days ago
- I am now retired from my position as university professor, but I am still active, writing papers, books, and now also improving the scientific quality of Wiki articles. The one on "Logarithmic norm" had been edited to be somewhat incoherent, and also didn't have the more modern development. The one on "Stiff equation" was unfortunately in worse shape, with a mixed up notation, erroneous information, and material that doesn't belong at all. It appears that there are many authors behind various portions, which is not always an advantage.
- Anyway, what I want to do is to bring bot articles up to state-of-the-art. I have put about two weeks work in each one before uploading, and the ambition is to raise the level to "AF" (although the topics may not be considered of such broad interest, even though both are key concepts in modern scientific computing and applied mathematics).
- I'd be most obliged if the blockings would be lifted. It's a bit annoying to meet such hindrances after putting in os much work.
- Sincerely,
- Gustaf Söderlind
- Prof em of Numerical Mathematics
- Lund University
- PS as for where the uploads come from: I live in Spain (where I uploaded the first article) and am currently visiting University of Texas in Austin, USA. I hope that this is not a problem with respect to IP numbers etc. Also, there seems to be a difference between using Safari (totally blocked) and Chrome, from where editing does work. Again, I regret my complaints in this regards; I am rather busy and do not have time to waste on work-arounds on this type of technicalities. I do understand the security needs, but it's got to be simpler to be allowed to contribute professional knowledge to Wiki. Gustaf45 (talk) 18:52, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

As the filter only checks if the new wikitext contains this link all edits from users without autopatrol got blocked after this link was on the page. I think there is no good and reliable solution for this. Such links should just not exist on village pump pages.

You may upload any image(s) here and make a draft article with transcribed wikitext on Wikipedia, if in compliance. You are not yet autoconfirmed, which is granted automatically to accounts that are at least 4 days old. I recommend just simply waiting out those 4 days to be able to upload PDFs.

Please read MediaWiki:abusefilter-warning-file-overwriting. You may request COM:AP at COM:RFR when you think you are ready (once you have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits); having that should allow you to overwrite. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:26, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
