The file name you were trying to upload has been blacklisted because it is very common, uninformative, or spelled in ALLCAPS. Please go back and choose a better file name. When uploading files to Wikimedia Commons, please use a file name that describes the content of the image or media file you're uploading and is sufficiently distinctive that no-one else is likely to pick the same name by accident.

Examples of good file names:

  • Nodnol skyline from Nodnol City Hall - Aug 2022.jpg
  • 1875 Meeting of Settlers at Falconer Bay, New Nodland.jpg
  • Pseudohedron with no vertex visible from center.png

Examples of bad file names:

  • Image01.png
  • Joe.jpg
  • DSC00001.JPG
  • Foo.svg.png
  • 30996951316264l.jpg
  • PSEUDOHEDRON WITH NO VERTEX VISIBLE FROM CENTER.png

For more information, please see Commons:First steps/Upload form. If you have a good reason for uploading a file with this name, or if you receive this message when attempting to upload a new version of an existing file, please let us know at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard or directly at MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist. Be sure to specify the exact name of the file you are trying to upload. Thank you.
