Edit kind: I was trying to upload a self-created image of Ram Kumar for use on Wikimedia Commons and to include it in a Wikipedia draft article. The abuse filter showed a warning, possibly due to formatting issues, use of capital letters in the file name, or lack of detailed description/metadata.

Comments: I have uploaded this file in good faith as my own work. I have ensured that the file name is descriptive and complies with Wikimedia Commons guidelines.

@Juju Akasaka: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/313 by altering or removing the standard page section headings here on Wikimedia Commons. Try previewing your changes. Admin GPSLeo saw a need for and wrote that filter named "Protect page section headings" with note "Prevent all not autopatrolled users from altering or removing the standard page section headings." You have also triggered Special:AbuseFilter/27 by removing all categories from a file description page, Special:AbuseFilter/58 by removing the information template, and Special:AbuseFilter/303 by not having anything acceptable on the first line, as such edits by new without COM:AP and anonymous users are not correct here, and instead are considered to be vandalism. You may request autopatrol at COM:RFR when you think you are ready (once you have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits) or you may request rollback; having one of those should allow you to make such changes.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:05, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Edit kind: I wanted to put a "superseded" label at the top of the page to direct users to the newest resource. I added it at the top of the "edit source" section and it looked good in preview. But when I tried to publish, it said that I cannot add info above a heading, even though the heading / file name itself was still above the new label.

I copied the text over: "You tried to change the first line on a file page. The first line should always be the heading or a template. If you want to add some information write it into the template below the heading. If you want to report an error with the file please use the talk page. Due to a bug (phab:T298672) reverting vandalism in structured data can trigger this filter. If you want to remove vandalism to structured data please do this manually."

Comments: I'm not sure that I did this the right way, but it seemed weird for the edit to be blocked and so I am reporting it here. Sorry if this is a misreport!

You may request autopatrol at COM:RFR when you think you are ready (once you have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits) or you may request rollback; having one of those should allow you to make such changes. Note that we do not accept biographies or profiles here, and Wikipedia doesn't accept autobiographies; see COM:NOT and en:WP:AUTO for details. Social networks have profiles.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:53, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

@AmeliaGraceCreativeJourneys: Hi, and welcome. The short answer is that we don't want your spam. I regret to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/281 and other filters with your ChatGPT-assisted content. Please read Mediawiki:Abusefilter-disallowed-pdf-new-user-upload again. You may upload any image(s) here and make a draft article with transcribed wikitext on Wikipedia, if in compliance. 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 and upload PDFs. Note that we do not accept biographies, and Wikipedia doesn't accept autobiographies; see COM:NOT and en:WP:AUTO for details. It is quite disappointing that new users attempting to violate copyright too much with their PDF uploads have spoiled it for the rest of you, such that Admins had to make that filter years ago.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:41, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

Edit kind: Not one of the rest of us hasn't done all those complicated and advanced plans I can't follow giving me no part to play and starting to accumulate power. All I see is what other people said about the edit I was trying to make saying they detect it as nonconstructive. I don't see whether the person saying it was a corrupt cop or a judge who accepted money in their decision making. In my eyes, they're all the same, somebody else who is working to gang up on me.

Comments: I was about to create the page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Douglas_Conquistador and say something like this. I've been left behind, forgotten, invisible. I'm struggling to break in and compete. Not one of the rest of us hasn't done all those complicated and advanced plans I can't follow giving me no part to play and starting to accumulate power. I'm 39. The story is starting to go away. Maybe I got a diagnosed disability at a young age. Different people have different ideas of what it means to be one of those better and better workers. Some people could consider me to be one of those better and better workers for having a disability. What I said about my disability is also true about the fact that I was born here in Canada. However people consider it to mean to be one of those better and better workers, those who know how to organize it will find ways to work towards a system where people all the time sometimes speak as though somebody is one of those better and better workers when they're not and make it so that we will never be able to 100% reliably find which of us is one of those better and better workers to give so much power to or drag to big plans like a baby or which of us is one of those people who is not one of those better and better workers to accuse or screen out denying the opportunity to break in and compete. One day, I came to terms with God. Very smart. My tiny little part is enough. When it is my tiny little part, I can do a very strong and powerful job of it. See the page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Douglas_Conquistador&action=history. We have a tendency to give the head of something more power. I was gonna write this in my user page of the main Wikimedia website. Then I saw that there are no accounts there. It seems that they are letting us build an economy bottom up. That's how I'd run things if I was the head. Sometimes, 2 people who are rivals for something really don't want each other to have so much more power than them to stop them from working on the part they're a good hard worker for. They might agree to form their own advanced system that the police and the airline security system can't follow. If they stop one who is struggling to break in and compete, they've got to stop the other who was given too much power also. If they want to keep information top secret from the one who is struggling to break in and compete, they've also got to keep it top secret from the other who was given too much power. If one gets all those bans because the system is so judgy and it's so easy for them to run into a hole of being a big infamous and shunned from something like a ban and all those sock puppetry rules, then the other will find ways to not let them be dragged like a baby into a big plan of taking more power and just like I did when I first made my new account, openly advertise that they are a sock puppet. They don't want to get things done by hassling to keep information top secret. They will openly admit that they are a sock puppet and get themself banned. ¬¬¬¬ Douglas Conquistador (talk) 17:11, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

This time, I was able to just create my user page with no problem. ¬¬¬¬ Douglas Conquistador (talk) 17:55, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

@Douglas Conquistador: Hi, and welcome. Evidently, you hit an automated abuse filter named "New users adding external links on their user or user talk page". Please don't add external links on your user page as a new user here or on English Wikipedia. I note that this account and Blackbombchu are both blocked there for a variety of behaviors, including sockpuppetry and TPA abuse; please don't repeat them here.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:20, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Actually, I was banned here as Blackbombchu also. The whole entire system is crumbling. It's so easy to run into holes of doing things with so much power. We need a very secure system. Most, just remember that I was banned somewhere in this network from my ban on Wikipedia as Blackbombchu. Even if I hadn't been banned here, I wouldn't remember that fact much. I'm 39. The story is starting to go away. Maybe I got a diagnosed disability at a young age. If so, with my tiny little seed, all I can make sense of is a very secure system that leaves no one any holes of doing things with so much power to look out for. What I said about my disability is also true about the fact that I was born here in Canada. Not one of the rest of us hasn't done all those complicated and advanced plans I can't follow giving me no part to play. One day, I came to terms with God. Very smart. I was doing my one tiny little part on what to see and how to adapt. Sometimes, I would try and see if I could scavenge for a way to get a bit of attention and a bit of a listen. I already got a year long network wide ban on Stack Exchange. Some part of me feels like that could happen here too. Douglas Conquistador (talk) 13:57, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

@Dino100801: Bonjour et bienvenue. Je suis désolé de vous informer que vous avez déclenché le Special:AbuseFilter/192 en tentant de mettre en ligne un fichier MP3 dont les droits sont insuffisants. Trop de personnes tentent de mettre en ligne des fichiers audio encore protégés par le droit d'auteur (auteurs, interprètes, enregistreurs, maisons d'édition, etc.) sans avoir obtenu les licences appropriées. Veuillez documenter intégralement les sources et les licences de vos fichiers audio et demander à rejoindre le groupe Autopatrol sur COM:RFR lorsque vous vous sentirez prêt (après avoir effectué plus de 500 modifications utiles et non automatisées). L'adhésion vous permettra alors de mettre en ligne des fichiers MP3. En attendant, veuillez réencoder ce fichier et les autres fichiers audio au format Vorbis ou Opus et les mettre en ligne avec une documentation complète au format .ogg. Voir également COM:SIGN/fr.
