Dear Mr Pythoncoder,

I am aware there are no references, but the only source was from that book, from Dr Pirraku. The reason I created the wiki page is because there are no sources other than the book itself, which is not being printed anymore. Please approve my page, I assure you, people have verified it is all true. I know it may not seem true to you, but it is true and I implore you to please approve it. There are no sources other than ones I cant reference - because they dont exist online. Please approve it, please, its going to be the only record. PLS

That's not how we do things on Wikipedia. If there is no verifiable evidence of notability, then there is no need for a Wikipedia article at this time. guninvalid (talk) 08:06, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

There is verifiable evidence, but it is inaccessible, so I wrote the page so everybody has the story. Please just approve the page, its fine and there is need for a wiki article. There will never be a time, because all the evidence is physical and I just digitalised it, soooooo, please approve it Knowledgelover1871 (talk) 08:14, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

You are allowed to use print-only sources in articles; however, right now, there is only one source used for the whole article, which is not enough to demonstrate that the subject is notable. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 15:30, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

There are no other sources other than that one book. The subject is notable, it is history, history of a family, history of a nation, trust me, it is notable, I can have an array of people tell you it is notable, that is why a historian wrote about it, Dr Pirraku, he has a wiki page though. Please just approve this page, it doesnt hurt you, just please publish it, I really want to contribute. Knowledgelover1871 (talk) 23:30, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

@Knowledgelover1871 “Trust me, it is notable”… “It doesn't hurt you, just please publish it”… that’s not how Wikipedia works. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 01:32, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Please please please approve it. I do care how Wikipedia works, but I can't reference anything and I need this to be a page. Please, approve it, it doesn't hurt you, this is like torture. Knowledgelover1871 (talk) 04:47, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

If you need it to be a page, you're going to have to publish it somewhere else. Please also note that you are required to disclose a conflict of interest with regards to the subject matter. guninvalid (talk) 05:19, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Where do I publish it on Wikipedia?? Thank you, but where do I publish it where everybody can see it? I'll fill out a conflict of interest. Knowledgelover1871 (talk) 07:34, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

As we have told you repeatedly: if you don’t have multiple sources, you can’t publish on Wikipedia. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 17:42, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Publish it anyway please. Who will know/care? Knowledgelover1871 (talk) 00:05, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Draft of Avi Hiaeve

Hi, I saw you declined my page Draft:Avi Hiaeve. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to improve it? I referenced a huge collection of independent sources that are not affiliated with the page's subject, so I am not sure how else I would show that this subject is notable? Also, do you have any suggestions on how to make it read more neutrally or any specific language that was not neutral? I would really appreciate any help and suggestions. Thank you! ~2025-31257-19 (talk) 14:32, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Draft:The Final Fix

Hey pythoncoder... Noticed you left a comment on Draft:The Final Fix here. " Comment: This appears to be a controversial subject, so it is important that it follows NPOV and FRINGE." You are absolutely correct; the subject of the film is certainly that, however this article is just for the movie, which absolutely exists and gained a good amount of notoriety, and was narrated by a notable celebrity. I have maintained a completely neutral tone here. The subject of the movie itself shouldn't be the issue. I will personally argue that it's now no longer considered fringe, because the subject of the movie just received FDA approval. Gaining mainstream acceptance after a 50+ year uphill battle against big pharma is no easy feat, but again, the context of this discussion is that this is an article for the movie. I have no affiliation to the film. It was an independent production. OpiateFreedom (talk) 16:43, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Big Sandy Heritage Center Museum

Hello. Your revisions made the entry for this museum less accurate and more incomplete. By my describing the purpose, contents, and history of the museum, you misinterpreted it as "promotional." I provided a source for my content revisions. I even borrowed my formatting and some wordage from entries for other regional museums! You are doing your readers a disservice by removing my content for this museum. I hope you will review and reconsider. ~2025-39196-08 (talk) 06:28, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Comments left on my Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day draft.

Thank you for the comments. They are of great help. I assumed that naming the media outlets in the sections was necessary to make the references verifiable. I appreciate the clarification about letting the citations speak for themselves.

I’m still learning how to write in the style for Wikipedia, and your comments are very helpful. I will go through the article this weekend and make the changes needed.

List of Angry Birds video games

Hi, thanks for your contributions to the draft I started! I believe the previous reviewer was referring to the fact that I forgot to cite some content properly, which I planned to do later but forgot (e.g. Trilogy), and one of the arcade games relied solely on primary sources. I would've resolved this much quicker, but you just so happened to edit the draft at the same time that I did. No worries, I should've put an in use template beforehand, so that's my bad. Signed, SleepyRedHair. (talk - contribs) 21:51, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

In that case, that’s a situation where the reviewer probably should have left a comment explaining the decline, since it’s not self-evident. Oh well. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 22:49, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Michel Germain

Hi Python Coder,

Thank you for helping keep Wikipedia clean and reliable. I have updated the Draft to read in a more neutral tone. This perfumer has been featured in several major publications including Maximm, Retail Insider, Sharp Magazine, and Canadian Living. They are also mentioned on this Wikpiedia list of perfumes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_perfumes

Draft: Dennis J. Yamashita

Thanks for taking a look at my submission. I wanted to ask if there are specific sections, sentences, or sources that you think should be improved?

I will disclose that AI was used to generate large portions of the article, but the article was hand-edited by me afterwards. If it needs a fresh rewrite due to the usage of AI, that is acceptable. Some direction will help a lot. Awakeralex (talk) 21:10, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your honesty regarding your LLM use. Wikipedia’s current LLM guideline reads: “Large language models should not be used to generate new Wikipedia articles from scratch.” As such, I advise that you scrap the current draft and write a new one yourself. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 23:29, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Recheck on Draft:Stephen Ramsey

Hello @Pythoncoder,

I hope you're well! I have restarted from scratch and only used Verifiable sources and got rid of all the weak ones and would like for your feedback on it please. Thank you! Wiki4RAMZY (talk) 13:14, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Why is it still AI-generated? —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 18:28, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, could you let me how it's still Ai? As I've tried to make it sound more neutral and most of the rephrasing is from what I researched in the sources. Thank you! Wiki4RAMZY (talk) 18:43, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

While the signs of LLM use are more subtle this time around, there are parts that were newly added, like this:

“ Ramsey has been profiled by New Scientist in coverage of scientific glassblowing and the work of on-site glassblowers at universities. The profession itself has also been discussed in later reporting on the fragile state of scientific glassblowing. ”

...that still have the classic "LLM misunderstanding how you're supposed to write a Wikipedia article" writing style. Are you sure that you wrote this text without any LLM assistance? —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 18:54, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, it does come across as LLM sounding so again I've reworded it again and have also taken out the WordPress article as I feel like thats also a weak source. Please let me know if I'm wrong, Thanks. Wiki4RAMZY (talk) 19:21, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Submission declined for Institute of Advanced Radiosurgery (IRCA)

Hello, the publication of this content (Draft:Institute of Advanced Radiosurgery (IRCA)) I requested on Wikipedia has been declined. It indicates that it doesn't adopt a neutral point of view, but it can be verified that the page describes a scientific treatment for ailments of different types. At no point is it presented in a promotional manner, and everything is supported by news reports. It's true that many references are in Spanish, but international media coverage hasn't been extensive. I request that someone please review it thoroughly and, if there is indeed something incorrectly stated, please let me know so I can make the necessary changes. Thank you! Hassna Baker (talk) 07:54, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Hassna Baker I disagree with your claim that there is no promotional writing in the article. For example, “ the system enables radiation to be delivered through 16,200 potential beam paths” sounds like it was taken from ad copy. If you want another opinion, you can ask at WP:AFCHD. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 14:19, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. Okay, I understand. It wasn't something I did to look like an advertisement; it was information related to that technology, but looking at it this way, you're right. I'll try to improve the content. Thanks for your help! Hassna Baker (talk) 15:31, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Recent draft rejection

I wrote this my self. I did previously use grammarly for word choice. However I have restarted from the version prior to that and made my own word choices.

Can you please review the page?

I have put a lot of effort into this. Everything has been cited from credible sources and is in a neutral tone. (@Pythoncoder:),

ps.

I am new and not sure if I am doing this right lmao. Leventdev (talk) 22:36, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for revising the draft. However, I can still see some leftover LLM output in the Editions section, as evidenced by the use of Markdown formatting for italics instead of wikicode. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 19:27, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

I rewrote that area as well. Leventdev (talk) 20:47, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Are you going to clear the ai claims now?

I spent a significant amount of effort on this and I am starting to lose hope. Leventdev (talk) 17:35, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

If you're done revising the draft, you can resubmit it. I can't provide you a definitive date for when it will be reviewed (or who will review it), since Wikipedia is a volunteer project. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 20:52, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Orhan Tanrıkulu

This LLM-generated text has been collapsed and should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Dear Pythoncoder, I wrote the entire "Draft:Orhan Tanrıkulu" submission myself and have supporting documents to substantiate all statements made within it. It contains no misinformation generated by an LLM. Upon approval of this draft, I will upload dozens of supporting documents to Wikipedia. However, since it is currently a draft, Wikipedia does not allow the upload of these documents. Nevertheless, I have taken your feedback into account and checked for quality issues, attempting to correct the promotional tone, essay-style writing, and speculative statements. I have also restructured much of the text to create a clear section structure in line with Wikipedia norms and moved some details to the references section. If you specifically point out the parts you believe are problematic, I would be happy to review those sections again. However, since you claim there are problems with the entire document, I am unsure what to correct and how, so I desperately need your clear feedback. I would be grateful if you could review it again in light of these explanations and point out areas for correction. Respectfully. Themkview (talk) 07:30, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Feedback

Hello, Thanks so much for taking a look at this draft. I can assure you, it was human-written and based completely on independent sourcing from news outlets (from hours of research that I did myself!). I've revised some of the language and tone - I think I may have been so focused on ensuring that sources and language were correct that I was too formal.

I would appreciate any specific feedback on areas that appear AI-like so I can address them directly. Hopefully my edits are an improvement.

Thanks again!

Kind Regards, Erin Erin2882 (talk) 02:20, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, I’m not buying it. It’s not that the writing style is “too formal” — it’s that it contains straight-up mistakes that are almost exclusively made by LLMs. Specific feedback on areas that appear AI-like: the whole draft. Even after your small tweaks it is still obviously LLM output. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 02:35, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi again - honestly, it was my work, my research. I did need help with the coding and formatting (layout) as I'm still learning Wikipedia...I've gone through it again, re-wrote/re-worded, and sourced some more info.

I did more than just tweak this time around, but I'm going to give it another pass tomorrow before I resubmit. I want to learn how to do this well, so I really do appreciate the feedback. Thank you for taking the time.

Erin

Erin2882 (talk) 05:00, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Ok - starting from scratch. Thanks so much - I hope the next go is much better. I'll do some more work on learning the formatting myself first before sending off.

Draft:Quince (company)

Hey Pythoncoder-

I saw your comment on my draft of the Quince (company) article. I think I removed the problematic sources you are referring to--the crunchbase stuff and the Forbes Contributors. I had a question on the latter though--I removed an article authored by someone described by their name followed by Forbes "former contributor". But there is also a Forbes article by an author described by their name followed by "Forbes Staff". Do Forbes articles by these authors also fall into the category of generally unreliable or are these OK?

BTW, I am interested in learning python if you have any pointers haha JamesH97 (talk) 02:16, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Good questions. Articles by "Forbes Staff" are considered reliable, since those are subject to the magazine's editorial oversight. I've never seen a "former contributor" byline before, but I'm assuming that falls into the same bucket as regular contributors.

Re: Python, I got started by reading books on Python; I'm recalling that No Starch Press has some good ones, but take that with a grain of salt because my information is about a decade old. There are probably online resources too, but I shudder when I think of how AI-infested many of them probably are nowadays. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 05:13, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to review my submission. I have been bitten by the "LLM" bug and even after revising my revision, I still received the same notification. I wrote the information in the simplest terms that I could. I tried to ensure that all of the information included was simple, and that all facts were verifiable. That said, I would truly appreciate your guidance on getting past this claim. I also saw that someone recommended that my article be submitted for "speedy deletion" yet, I could not find the button to contest after following the instructions.

Thanks for your SourceHut draft page comment

Hi pythoncoder

Thanks for your hint on the third-party spelling of SourceHut rather than sourcehut. I've edited the draft accordingly.

However, it has been rejected a second time for lack of notoriety and I am not sure whether I can/should continue hunting for references.

Best, Kobzar1840 (talk) 20:08, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Kobzar1840, I did some reference-hunting and here are a few sources I found:

• TechRepublic, this one seems quite good
• The Record, only a few sentences so doesn't count for notability
• Search Engine Journal, only a few sentences so doesn't count for notability
• TechCrunch, only a few sentences so doesn't count for notability

This was just from what Google News pulled up, so maybe there's a few more sources out there too. Hope this helps, and good luck —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 03:53, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Re-submission declined

Hello, @Pythoncoder: , my submission has been declined by you. I want to understand as to how else one would write a draft other than what I submitted. It is accepted that the draft was 'written properly' by ChatGPT, but all the information in the draft was collated by this writer based upon reliable sources. Nothing in the draft is made-up in the writer's mind. Could you please once-and-for all, enlighten on what needs to be done, because for the last couple of times the reasons for the rejections are vague and open-ended. I want my draft to go public ASAP, and therefore would want this to resolve quickly. Anicca anitya (talk) 06:35, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Page moving

Hi there, thanks for all the good work you're doing. I noticed you've recently been moving some articles to draftspace, leaving behind a redirect which you correctly marked for speedy deletion by an admin. I thought you might be interested in applying for the WP:PAGEMOVER right, as that includes suppressredirect (move a page without creating a redirect), which may save time. :-) -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:20, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Firstly, thanks for the kind words. It's always nice to hear when someone appreciates my cleanup work, because oh boy do I have to put up with a lot of crap as a result of my AI cleanup efforts (to be fair, sometimes it's because of a mistake I made, but I think my error rate is decreasing? maybe?). Secondly, saying that I'm "correctly mark[ing the redirects] for speedy deletion" might be giving too much credit, because I'm just using WP:MTD for the moves and it handles that automatically. Thirdly, I'm recalling that I requested page-mover permissions a year or two ago but got denied because I didn't demonstrate need for the tools (I think). Do you think the permission would be granted if I applied at WP:RFR now? —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 23:38, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

You still warrant some credit for using MTD! I had a quick look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?fulltext=Search&fulltext=Search&prefix=Wikipedia%3ARequests+for+permissions%2F&search=pythoncoder&ns0=1 and you've not been "officially" denied that permission before, but in any case I'm sure you're more experienced now than you were a year ago, and supressing creating redirects when moving pages seems like a legitimate need to me, so I'd say go for it. Looks like you've moved 100s of pages before already over the years. Plus everyone makes mistakes the odd time, I certainly do! I also saw you have the New page reviewer right, and the current backlog drive at WP:JANFEB26 may be of interest too. Keep up the good work! -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:56, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Draft: Omkhar Arasaratnam

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to review the draft. I wanted to address the comment about AI. I wrote the article based on the cited sources. I did not use an LLM to generate the article. I did use Wikipedia's citation formatting tools and Microsoft Word for grammar/spelling, but the content itself is original. I attempted to mimic phrasing and structure from other industry peers (e.g., Brian Behlendorf, Phil Venables (computer scientist)). Apologies if the tone came off as artificial. If there are specific sections that stand out as problematic, I'm happy to revise them. For context, the subject has significant coverage from The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, The Economist, and NPR Planet Money, among others. I believe the notability requirements that concerned @MCE89 are now met. Please let me know how best to proceed. Uniforn (talk) 23:06, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Assuming you are the same person as the last 5 anonymous accounts to edit the draft, I'm having trouble squaring your comment with the fact that 3 of the last 5 anons' edit summaries read strongly like they were LLM-generated, and ditto for the {{afc comment}} at the top of the draft. Why is that? —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 23:29, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

I believe most of the anonymous submissions were me. I created an account as I was blocked from providing more anonymous edits.

As mentioned, the only editing tools I’ve used outside of Wikipedia was Microsoft Word. I’m a new editor and did my best to make these edits and submissions based on what I saw in other drafts.

I’m happy to learn and correct, but I assure you the only external tool used was Word.

is there a particular section I should rewrite? Uniforn (talk) 23:40, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Okay, I looked at every substantive revision, and while I still find the edit summaries and AfC comments suspicious, I'm now thinking the body text could be human-generated (maybe 70% confidence?) so I'll revert my decline. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 02:29, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

@Pythoncoder thanks, if there’s anything I can change in the body, please let me know. I appreciate your feedback! Uniforn (talk) 02:45, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Context because I've been noticing some talk page stalkers hanging around here recently: I asked the user on their talk page if they were using LLMs on new articles they created. They didn't respond, and instead archived the thread. I moved the thread back and asked again, and they responded:

“ First, it's my talk page and I can do what I want with it. I just removed the parts in the two articles you just section tagged. Now please leave me alone. ”

They still didn't really answer the question, so I asked one more time, and they responded "NO, you whoa whoa whoa. I told you to leave me alone.

Probably not a job for you in this context, but we should probably do a scope of the articles and see if there any more unambiguous LLM written content. I saw an article go to draft and ended up here :p Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:49, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

Great, helpful community 👌super profesh! Gross. ~2026-26006-2 (talk) 00:59, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

I’d argue that what’s gross and unprofessional is poisoning Wikipedia with LLM output in direct contravention of our guidelines. Have a nice day! —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 02:37, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean by unprofessional, it is just information on a NJ based political commentator. If there is anything that would need to be changed, I can make the edits. JerseyCutlets33 (talk) 19:07, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

@JerseyCutlets33 My comment above was unrelated to your draft. As you can see if you click the link that says “This AFC comment”, this thread is about a comment I made about a pop-punk artist, hence the section title. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 20:05, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

About your feedback on my Draft

Hi pythoncoder,

Thank you for taking the time to have a look at my Draft. And well spotted: I did use an LLM to help me write the text.
I understand the guidelines and I understand you need to protect wikipedia against hallunicated content, exagerated text, references to pages that have nothing to do with the context, etc. Which is why I've been very carefull in how I've used it. This is my first wiki page so I've used it to help me with these aspects: a structure that users expect, proper english (I'm not a native speaker) and details like how to create a good citation, or wether or not it's a good idea to put citations in the intro or later in the text, etc. I reasoned that an LLM would know these things better than me, because it has the knowledge of the whole of wikipedia. But other than that: the content is mine. Every line is exactly how I want it to be, with exactly the words that capture the essence. I've literally spent hours creating this page and making sure every line and every word is correct; i've looked for references myself and decided which ones to use, etc. So I wouldn't know what to do differently, apart from introducing spelling mistakes to make it look more human.

So I'd like to get your feedback about what the main problem is that I need to address, because I wouldn't know what to change. TheWikiMarty (talk) 20:24, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

So I wouldn't know what to do differently
Writing it yourself would be a good start. – LuniZunie_(talk) 20:30, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

See, this is why I love having talk page stalkers (no sarcasm here). This is exactly how I would've responded, and someone else already did it for me! @TheWikiMarty go read WP:NEWLLM again. It's literally two sentences long. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 23:29, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Well, I watch your page specifically for these LLM decline responses and your response :p – LuniZunie_(talk) 02:02, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

I'll be here all week... or month... or until the AI bubble pops... or until I lose my sanity. Tip your server. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 03:40, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

I have read that and I didn't use it to generate a page from scratch. I wrote the Draft page - that I used an LLM to help me doesn't mean I didn't write it. If you read my first message here I've explained how I used it. I have not copy-pasted the output of a prompt that says: generate this and that page for me - because yes, that would have been full of content that is not entirely correct or plain wrong.

I intended to create a grammatically correct, objective and factually correct page that would be a good addition to wikipedia and that is exactly what it is (grammatically correct (I hope), objective and factually correct). From lunizunie's resonse I get the feeling you're just here to try to spot LLM usage so you can bash on it - it seems that even earned you some followers. Really nice. But not really helpfull; it would be more helpfull if you could point out what the problem is with the content, so I can address that. If I reverse the LLM usage it would still be the same content, except for the fact that the sentences would be less good structured. I really have no idea what that would accomplish. TheWikiMarty (talk) 15:00, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

From lunizunie's resonse I get the feeling you're just here to try to spot LLM usage so you can bash on it
Yes, we don't want to waste our time reviewing and arguing with a robot.

If I reverse the LLM usage it would still be the same content
Well clearly not, since we can easily tell it is LLM generated.

I once again am telling you, that the solution to make it "look human", is to literally write it as a human, not a human paraphrasing or copyediting of a bot, you need to actually write it yourself. Don't try to cheat the system. – LuniZunie_(talk) 15:05, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my submission

Regarding the COI/Paid Editing flag on my account

Hello Python! Happy 25th Wikipedia Birthday!

I recently started my journey as an editor with the goal of expanding coverage on legislation regarding gambling, sweepstakes, and the gaming industry. I noticed the note on my talk page regarding potential paid contributions, and I want to clarify my position to clear up any confusion. I am an independent contributor with a personal interest in these topics. I have no professional affiliation with the individuals or entities I’ve edited, and I am not receiving any compensation for my work here. To ensure I’m following best practices, I’ve spent time over the last 24 hours studying the Conflict of Interest (COI) and Neutral Point of View (NPOV) guidelines. I did read these including the terms and conditions. In my enthusiasm to get things right, specifically regarding a biographical photo, I did reach out to the subject’s team to ask about granting me permission to edit their photo on January 9th. I cropped a photo from their website and asked for permission to use it in an article I was working on. I saw an opportunity about someone I knew a lot of information about and thought it could be a high traffic article due to his recent news. I realize now that this may have looked like a professional connection, but it was simply an attempt to source a high quality, compliant image for the project. I also modeled the article after existing biographies on Wikipedia. I am committed to maintaining Wikipedia's editorial standards and am eager to contribute neutrally. Please let me know if there is anything specific I should address to resolve the flag on my account.

(talk page stalker) @Salv0603 Hey, is this in part AI generated? – LuniZunie_(talk) 14:13, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

The sentences about COI and NPOV. I’ve deep dived into these and I’m not sure what the flag is about, or where or why I am flagged for this topic. I haven’t received money from anyone. I did reach out to them, hopefully they can send an email to Wikipedia to confirm I have no paid affiliation to clear this up so I can resume building on Wikipedia. I only asked for permission and rights usage to edit a photo which is standard practice, I thought. Salv0603 (talk) 14:19, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

@Salv0603 Please stop using AI to generate your comments, we are here to talk to humans, not a robot, the message you just sent is also AI also seems AI. – LuniZunie_(talk) 14:24, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

No it isn’t.. copy and paste it in a Ai detection tool. I didn’t use any Ai writing that lol. Salv0603 (talk) 14:26, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

@Salv0603: While it is true that your last message here came out as 0% when checked by ZeroGPT, your message before that one came out at around 49%, and almost the entire message was flagged. Next time, please do not lie about AI use. Nononsense101 (talk) 16:10, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

@DylanDaBaer Of all the things I’ve been accused of, this is one of the most eyebrow-raising. One look at my talk page should tell you all you need to know regarding how I feel about generative AI.

I suggest you drop it, and then focus on rewriting your draft. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 16:52, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Draft - Jack Denst

Greetings P, I submitted my first listing on January 10 which you helped to offer correction avenues and declined. I first opened an account with Wikipedia in "I think" 2021. It is since that time I have been doing extensive research on Denst. I wrote, not AI, all that is there from my notes on private conversations with his family, employees, friends, as well as hours of looking through newspaper articles held by the The Chicago History Museum and books cited in my references. I can do a better job of making it look more encyclopedia like and I can reference exact pages in those books or dates of articles. However, for example, I spoke to Leonard Olson, Denst nephew, owner of Tabor Hill Winery and he told me Jack gave him the money to start the business. How should I substantiate facts like that? I'll do a better job but it will take time. Best regards, ~2026-48010-6 (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

I just read Draft:Jack Denst again and I now believe it is not AI-generated, so I have removed the tag. I've removed the excessive bold text, which is a common sign of LLM use (which in this case was a false positive). The main issue now is the nonneutral tone of the article. Wikipedia articles are not intended to promote their subjects, and as such, language such as the following should be rephrased or removed:

• Jack Denst, the iconic mid-century modern trailblazer...
• ...redefined mid-century modern interior design by elevating wallcoverings and murals into a recognized art form.
• ...the design studio became known for large-scale patterns and daring color combinations that often-stayed years ahead of mainstream consumer trends.

In terms of the sources:

• The best way to cite sources is through the "Cite" tab in the visual or source editor. It'll help you create high-quality citations in Wikipedia's preferred format.
• For periodicals, volume/issue numbers would be nice if possible.
• Similarly, ISBNs for books would be appreciated.
• Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not allow original research to be published in articles, which means any information in an article must be theoretically verifiable by a reliable published source. Secondary sources are preferred, but see WP:PRIMARY and WP:ABOUTSELF for more on how primary sources may be used. For example, for the Tabor Hill Winery example, if there's an interview or a social media post talking about how the business got started, that would probably be okay to cite because the founder is talking about his own family.

Hope this helps. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 22:08, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Unexplained Podcast page

Hi pythoncoder, thans for the comment. I wrote the Unexplained podcast page and very much not a LLM, as far as I know! I felt it was necessary to include a few media citations for the page to have credibility, which seems to be highly recommended by wikipedia for new articles. So, it would be a harsh reason to dispute the page... But very happy to amend it if you think it could be done better, do you have any advice in that regard? Thanks again!

Advice on Getting Page Approved for EverythingBranded

Hi,

You declined my contribution for EverythingBranded due to "Overemphasis on attributing media sources suggests LLM use". I can assure you this was all my own work - I wrote this without any use of ChatGPT - I have a Masters Degree in History which is why I tend to source everything in detail which maybe causing issues. Is there anything I can do to amend this piece to get it approved, i.e. any advice please? I have had 3 previous pages approved and have written in the same style and with citations so not sure why this one is not ok. But I guess I did submit all those before ChatGPT was even a thing!

Any help would be appreciated.
