Description: Strange, but my ANI report on an LTA vandal was stopped by a filter. I've never had problems in such cases before. What's wrong? And maybe this filter needs to be fixed?

Page you were editing: Talk:Adam (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was trying to post an edit request to the Talk page for the "Adam" article (because it is protected yet contains a factual inaccuracy). However, when I tried to post the edit request I received a message telling me that:

"Your changes have not been published.
In response to an ongoing pattern of abuse, an automated filter has prevented this edit. Don't worry, your work has not been lost! The full content of this edit has been saved, but it will not be visible to readers unless you take further action.
Please go to the report page and follow the instructions. An experienced editor will review your changes, and provide assistance."

I don't quite understand why I shouldn't be able to post an edit request regarding a factual inaccuracy in a Wikipedia article.

Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. (automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 10:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what this comment means.

I also don't understand why I can't post an edit REQUEST (not an edit to an article) to an article's Talk page. 77.44.48.159 (talk) 11:07, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also don't understand why that comment didn't appear until ~1 hour later, yet is timestamped at the same time (10:41) as my original comment. 77.44.48.159 (talk) 11:34, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Ohnoitsjamie Could you take a look at this? Thanks Nobody (talk) 12:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Could you also explain why it is that the User:MajavahBot comment did not appear for ~1 hour, yet it is timestamped at 10:41, the same time as my original comment? 77.44.48.159 (talk) 13:53, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Some of our filters target LTAs that are active in talk space; the filters look for unusual patterns of editing, and occasionally get false positives. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Could you also explain why it is that the User:MajavahBot comment did not appear for ~1 hour, yet it is timestamped at 10:41, the same time as my original comment? 77.44.48.159 (talk) 14:32, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:34, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to the page history, the bot made its edit at 10:41. Perhaps you didn't refresh the page for an hour after posting? —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 20:29, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I refreshed the page a number of times waiting for a response and none came until ~1 hour later.

I firmly suspect that the administration of Wikipedia has been infiltrated by bad actors at a very high level, who are able to surreptitiously block IP addresses from editing articles and talk pages, editing articles under the guise of supposed "bots", and manipulating the timestamping of such edits (even in the version history), all of which happened to me yesterday - after I had reverted an edit to the "Masoretic Text" article for the 2nd time, an edit which had yet again removed encyclopedic information describing the Masoretic Text as an "unreliable scriptural source". 77.44.48.159 (talk) 11:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That seems extremely unlikely.

On to possible reasons: It is possible that you were looking at this report from Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives (rather than .../Reports), which contains a transcluded version of this page, this cache does not update instantly. Of course, that's just a guess based on your description. – 2804:F1...88:7F3B (talk) 21:01, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Description: I see that there is a missing citation and it is marked after the sentences "This operation became the greatest success of Austin's overseas licensing of its Seven and marked the beginning of Datsun's international success.", I decided to change that by adding a citation I looked for on the internet.
