Getting this message: An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and it has been disallowed.
When trying to save draft. HALP!

Could be many things. What article are you working on?

Pauleen Bennett - have been working on it and tried to save for first time and came up with that message. Suspect it might be image I uploaded Tuesday but had hitch on copyright (that I've emailed to sort today) - will try removing image and see if that overcomes it.

You are triggering an automatic filter called "long term pattern abuse". Usually it prevents people from creating articles full of obscenities and such, but I can't see why your draft is triggering it. I'll keep looking.

Wikipedia help support thought it's a false positive hit. Seems to be overcome by saving content in Word, then saving empty draft and repopulating the draft in small sections, saving frequently.

Yes, definitely a false positive.
