Your submission at Articles for creation: Knowledge cutoff (July 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Reading Beans was:

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

• Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
• Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
• Essay-like writing
• Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
• Close paraphrasing
  

Please address these issues. The best way to do it is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Knowledge cutoff and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Dear bot,

As much as I would like to join, I must push my articles to a higher standard, and I lack the experience.

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

(Don't check for hidden comments nor click into the source code...)

Dear 16dvnk,

Trouting is useful for minor mistakes (like confusing WP:G13 with WP:G15 and forgetting to vote Delete in an AfD). This is "not" a test.

Sincerely,

16dvnk (talk) 09:57, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

It is recommended for you to read this reply by reading the source. (it contains disclaimers to this joke, if you have not realized yet)

Thank you for reading this message.

Sincerely,

16dvnk (talk) 10:05, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Dear concerned user:

I am sorry for my mistakes. I will improve this to make the AfD process smoother. Thank you for reminding me!

Sincerely,

16dvnk (talk) 10:11, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

No apology is required from you for the failure of the DRN. If you want to extend sympathy instead, I will thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:19, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, Robert. I appreciate the time and effort, and I understand your frustration. I hope the article will find resolution, and thank you for your service. All the best!

Sincerely,

16dvnk (talk) 06:41, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you again for your closing comment. I sort of hope that you don't think that I was digging a hole or beating the dead horse, but that doesn't matter. I thought that George Ho was perseverating, and wasn't sure how long I should continue. I don't think that we are going to get the outside look that we wanted on NPOVN. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:48, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Thank you again for trying to get someone off a road to nowhere. We shall see. They had an almost good idea to ask about volunteer coverage at the Idea Lab. I almost encouraged them, except that I think that their perseveration will get on the road to nowhere again. I also think that there may be a shortage of volunteers at NPOVN, where the request for another look at Superpower is stalled. But maybe other editors avoided it because of the history.

Good article nominations RfC

Hi 16dvnk,

There is an ongoing Request for Comment (RfC) at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/August 2026 RfC, which you may be interested in because in the past year, you have nominated or reviewed more than one good article nomination. This message has also been sent to all subscribers to the Good Article Gazette. The RfC contains many proposals (33 at the time of writing), which are split into the following categories: nominators, reviewers, reviews, volunteer roles, reviewing initiatives, and others. However, you are more than welcome to add any proposals of your own that you wish to put to the community.

By the end of September, all the proposals will have been closed by an uninvolved editor, either as a consensus for one of the options or with no consensus. At this point, editors will be invited again to develop these proposals into coherent policy and implement them.

Thank you for your contributions to the good articles project, and I look forward to your input! (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 16:02, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

SPI

There's a bit of an unspoken rule at Teahouse that we usually don't mention SPI unless strictly necessary, because it's better to keep bad actors from learning about it for as long as possible. There's a reason it's the one place you aren't required to notify them when you file a report. If other people care enough to track the case they can follow the breadcrumbs (or ask directly).
