Happy editing! Hikingboii (talk) 16:17, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

It appears you may have used a large language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, in your edits. While LLMs are powerful, machine-generated text often contains serious flaws. They may introduce bias, errors, plagiarism, libel, or even hoaxes. Specifically asking an LLM to "write a Wikipedia article" can sometimes cause the output to be outright fabrication, complete with fictitious references. Editors must verify all LLM-generated text before using it in an article. Completely LLM-generated articles may be quickly deleted. If you are unsure about your wording, an alternative is to suggest it on the talk page for another volunteer to look at it. If you are creating a new article, you may use the Articles for Creation process to get feedback on your work.

As you get started editing Wikipedia, you may find the pages below to be helpful:

• Introduction
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• How to create your first article
• Simplified Manual of Style

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can , and someone will be along to answer it shortly. In your messages, please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. Happy editing!

Hi Jim - I am hoping you can help me. I wrote and sourced the article myself and have all of the sources. How can I resubmit with changes so it can actually be reviewed? Thank you. KlineResearch (talk) 22:51, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Some of the sources are old but I have them in my possession. KlineResearch (talk) 22:52, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

If you wish,you can leave a message on this page, and I will know you have done so if you start it with my user name, User:Jimfbleak and sign it with four tildes ~~~~ when you post it. That will send me an alert.

First, some formatting and other minor issues.

• Your declaration of a conflict of interest should be on your user page, not in the article.
• You have not credited authors in your references, even when they are shown in the source. Use |last1=SURNAME |first1= FIRST1
• Your headings should be in sentence case.
• You have no wikilinks, eg Yale College, marathon, Phi Beta Kappa and Harvard Law School.
  

I've seen worse, but the tone and presentation led me to run Zerogpt, which claimed Your Text is Likely generated by AI/GPT If you used a chatbot to help you, you need to check its output.

You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:

• When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.

• Some of your text is unsourced. Some of the refs are interviews with you, not independent third-party sources.
• The US Congress link doesn't appear to mention you, and the WSJ page doesn't exist, look like LLM inventions.
• Publications written by you should be listed as such, in a separate section if preferred, with no references for the items. They should not be used as references either, since by definition they are not independent third-party sources as required here.

• You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.

• General tone is OK, but avoid words like is known for... numerous

• There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
• You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

• I didn't check.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article.

I'm prepared in principle to restore, but you need to read what I've written above and let me know if you wish to proceed Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:58, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

I understand your comments. Clearly I have much to learn but I believe with editing assistance and following your suggestions I can improve this. Can you restore and I will begin the review and editing process following your guidelines. KlineResearch (talk) 10:20, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

OK, I've restored the text and removed the AfC submission for now since it's clearly not acceptable as it stands Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:51, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

@Jimfbleak I disagree. I have restored it. Let's let G13 handle this if it comes down to this. For now, though, I've declined it as lacking notability. thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk 17:22, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Scott M. Kline (February 2)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 it after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Scott M. Kline 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.
