Comments: This PDF is entirely my own work and does not contain any third-party copyrighted material.

I would appreciate it if you could review the block and allow the upload or advise me on the next steps. Thank you. Yonvima (talk) 19:07, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

I was trying to add a speedy deletion request (uploader request), but the abuse filter blocked my edit as "potentially unconstructive."

@IsabellaHus: Hallo und willkommen. Leider muss ich Ihnen mitteilen, dass Sie gegen Special:AbuseFilter/281 verstoßen haben. Bitte lesen Sie Mediawiki:Abusefilter-disallowed-pdf-new-user-upload erneut. Sie können hier Bilder hochladen und einen Entwurf mit transkribiertem Wikitext auf Wikipedia erstellen, sofern dies den Richtlinien entspricht. Sie sind noch nicht autoconfirmed, was automatisch Konten gewährt wird, die mindestens vier Tage alt sind. Ich empfehle Ihnen, diese vier Tage einfach abzuwarten, um PDFs hochladen zu können. Sie haben außerdem gegen Special:AbuseFilter/335 verstoßen, indem Sie als neuer Benutzer versucht haben, Dateien zwischen Wikis hochzuladen, wie in proposal vorgeschlagen. Sie können die Dateien stattdessen hier auf Commons mit dem Special:UploadWizard hochladen. Bitte vermeiden Sie diese Vorgehensweise.

Hi, and welcome. I regret to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/281. 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 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. You have also triggered Special:AbuseFilter/335 by trying to cross-wiki upload files as a new user per proposal; you may upload the files here on Commons with Special:UploadWizard instead.

Edit kind: I am the author Giovanni Maletta. I am trying to request deletion G7 for my own file because wrong format PNG with double extension jpg.png. The abuse filter blocked my edit with SD|G7. This is author request, not vandalism.

Comments: Please allow G7 deletion - author request - wrong format. I need to delete 4 files with WEBP and AI flags to fix Google Knowledge Panel. Thank you. Giovanni Maletta (talk) 10:51, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Per favore cancellare anche questi 3 file, stesso motivo G7 author request, formato WEBP sbagliato e flaggati come AI che blocca Google Knowledge Panel:

• File:Ritratto di Giovanni Maletta, direttore del casting italiano di Roma, con camicia bianca e cravatta a righe rosse e blu, in studio 2024 pg.webp
• File:Giovanni Maletta ritratto 2025 sfondo neutro jpg.webp
• File:Giovanni Maletta direttore casting 2024 jog.webp

Sono l'autore, voglio tenere solo File:Giovanni Maletta.jpg pulito per Google. Grazie! Giovanni Maletta (talk) 10:59, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

@Giovanni Maletta: Ciao e benvenuto. Mi dispiace informarti che hai attivato Special:AbuseFilter/313 modificando o rimuovendo le intestazioni di sezione standard della pagina qui su Wikimedia Commons. Prova a visualizzare in anteprima le modifiche. L'amministratore GPSLeo ha visto la necessità di un filtro chiamato "Proteggi le intestazioni delle sezioni della pagina" con la nota "Impedisci a tutti gli utenti non controllati automaticamente di modificare o rimuovere le intestazioni standard delle sezioni della pagina". Hai anche attivato Special:AbuseFilter/58 rimuovendo il modello informativo e Special:AbuseFilter/303 non avendo nulla di accettabile sulla prima riga, poiché tali modifiche da parte di nuovi utenti senza COM:AP e utenti anonimi non sono corrette qui e sono invece considerate vandalismo. Puoi richiedere il controllo automatico su COM:RFR quando pensi di essere pronto (una volta che hai effettuato più di 500 modifiche utili non simili a quelle di un bot) oppure puoi richiedere il rollback; averne uno dovrebbe consentirti di apportare tali modifiche. G7 non ha avuto nulla a che fare con i motivi per cui le modifiche sono state rifiutate.

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/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. G7 had nothing to do with the reasons the edits were disallowed.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:53, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Edit kind: Do not place text above the heading

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.

In case you were actually making an acceptable contribution, please report this error here. Thank you.

Edit kind: I was trying to correct the source and authorship information for the file. The Abuse Filter blocked the edit as potentially unconstructive.

Comments: I am the original photographer and copyright holder of the source photograph.

I personally took the original photograph of my father, Sadek Okasha, in Luxor, Egypt, in February 2009. The original photograph included other people, who were later cropped out.

The uploaded portrait is based on my own photograph. It was digitally enhanced using an AI tool, but the underlying photograph was taken by me and is not an AI-generated source image.

When I originally uploaded the file, I mistakenly described the AI tool as the author. I am now trying to correct the file description so that User:Aeromedical is identified as the original photographer and copyright holder, while clearly disclosing the AI-assisted enhancement.

The edit is constructive and is intended to provide accurate authorship, source and licensing information. Please help me correct the file description or allow the edit through the Abuse Filter.

Thank you. ~2026-45031-17 (talk) 11:15, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Edit kind: Turning the page into a disambiguation because there are too many squares named Karlsplatz and the page currently redirects over to Vienna's. All I got is that the edit was “unconstructive”.

Comments: The error is too vague to be useful. The only potential cause I can think of which triggered this error is the amount of links I added even though many other disambiguation pages list out a comparable quantity. And if simply turning a redirect into a disambiguation shouldn't be done so easily, it should be specified as such (even though it was never a problem before nor I did see anything which mention about this sort of problem).

@Manuel de Gresufes: Hi, and welcome. Your attempted upload ran afoul of Special:AbuseFilter/160, which was named "Suspected embedded archive inside JPEG file (CSD#F9)" per Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 61#Influx of files with embedded data (CSD#F9). It exists because some pirates were embedding copyvio content in jpg files starting in November 2016. See also Commons talk:Abuse filter/Archive 2019/08#Report by Jwh, in which the reporting party was successful in uploading after removing the metadata with "Properties / Remove Properties and Personal Information / Create a copy with all possible properties removed".

Page name: File:Venn_A_subset_B.svg (File:Venn_A_subset_B.svg links: hist • logs • abuse log • en:File:Venn_A_subset_B.svg)

Edit kind: I was trying to revert the page to https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Venn_A_subset_B.svg&oldid=1251779957 by going to this page, clicking "Edit", then clicking "To restore this revision click here."

I got the following error:

"Do not place text above the heading

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.

In case you were actually making an acceptable contribution, please report this error here. Thank you."

@Jamesjpk: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/303 by appearing to not have a heading or template on the first line by editing structured data on Commons as a new user. Please do not do that, as such edits by new and anonymous users without COM:AP are considered to be vandalism. Until phab:T298672 is resolved or you have COM:AP, please just report what you wanted to change to COM:HD. You may request autopatrol 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 make such changes. I restored revision 1251779957 for you in Special:Diff/1267300239.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:57, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for doing the edit on my behalf, I appreciate it! This edit was reverting vandalism, so I don't think the revert should be considered vandalism, even with a low edit count or no AP rights. Best, Jamesjpk (talk) 19:46, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-46750-33: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/265 by changing structured data file metadata. Such edits by new without COM:AP and anonymous users 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); having that should allow you to make such changes as an account. Consider creating a permanent account. There are many reasons to do that and log in, or request that an account be created for you. Such an account may be used on all WMF projects, including this one, and should let you make similar edits. You may report what you wanted to change to COM:HD.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:23, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for you answer, @Jeff G.! I see. Can I request it as is (taking in view I made already much more then 500 edits, but anonymously, including such a number with only, but not current, temporary account) or I have to create permanent one for such request to be done? If I'll still register can my previous edits as anonymous matters to speed up completing such a RFR request or AP itself or I'll have to do 500 edits again? ~2026-46750-33 (talk) 14:43, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

However now I still can't delete it. So please:

1. Delete these commented templates
2. Probably undoing my own edit is not a bad idea and it's not a way for abuse filter to be triggered even if it was some template. As I have to have availability not only to make mistakes but also fix it, that abuse filter in that case just avoid me to do.

@Jeff G.: I still do not understand.

@Jeff G. No, we are not the same person. And our arguments clearly counters (I named 3rd river as location changing it c OK mpletely, and they both didn't argue about location, but it's right river naming at that dxact place) except of article name was really a bit errorous. What I still interested about is why filter triggered, as when I removed the link to Google maps (copied from file page) from the message - it didn't trigger anymore.

@Кобелева Евгения: Здравствуйте и добро пожаловать. С сожалением сообщаю, что вы активировали Special:AbuseFilter/313, изменив или удалив стандартные заголовки разделов страницы как новый или анонимный пользователь. Пожалуйста, не делайте этого, так как подобные изменения, внесенные новыми и анонимными пользователями, считаются вандализмом. Попробуйте предварительно просмотреть внесенные изменения. Администратор GPSLeo увидел необходимость в этом фильтре и создал его под названием «Защита заголовков разделов страницы» с примечанием «Запретить всем пользователям, не прошедшим автоматическое патрулирование, изменять или удалять стандартные заголовки разделов страницы».

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 as a new or anonymous user. Please do not do that, as such edits by new and anonymous users are considered to be vandalism. 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."   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:41, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Edit kind: Writing the biography of a reputed and well decorated Indian Scientist, his works and his achievements with published proofs.

Comments: Wikipedia has already published such biographies of several scientists. Why to block this biography. This will be an unjustice to a deserving scientist. Wikipedia may suggest changes to make improvement in the contents. However, blocking the contents of this post is unjustified. Kindly consider judiciously and approve its publication.

Edit kind: I was trying to add English captions in WebVTT format. The abuse filter first warned that my captions were not formatted correctly and provided the formatting guidelines for SRT captions, despite me writing the captions under the VTT extension. I then attempted to submit the captions again and was prompted with the abuse filter warning "An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and it has been disallowed. If this edit is constructive, please report this error"

Comments: It seems that whatever system detects malformed subtitles assumes that all subtitles are in SRT format and shows SRT-specific formatting instructions. It could be possible that my VTT captions are malformed, but there should be file extension-specific instructions if so. ForeverFlying (talk) 02:44, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

@Ankry Would you be able to add the hour portions of the time to the timestamps and publish the edit? If not, would I trigger any more abuse filters if I tried to recreate the file (with proper syntax)? ForeverFlying (talk) 15:26, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

I just copypasted the text I meant to restore, so no need anymore.
