A tag has been placed on File:Plaque on Lochaline House ruins.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation and has no credible claim of non-free use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Ирука¹³ 12:03, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

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

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Wikipedia guidelines prohibit the use of LLMs to write articles from scratch. In addition, LLM-generated articles usually have multiple quality issues, to 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 is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This article uses an LLM for most of the article.

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:Angus Eric Methven Sinclair-Thomson 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.

See my response on 2 January 2026 on the Talk page. I stand by this and not sure what more I can say.

== Resubmission note on sources and authorship ==

The research, structure, sourcing and factual content of this draft are entirely my own work, based on primary and secondary historical sources including archival material, regimental publications, newspapers and the London Gazette. I used limited assistance only to help locate sources and to check that the prose meets Wikipedia’s neutral, encyclopaedic tone and style guidance. No content was generated wholesale, and all statements in the article are supported by cited sources. AndyMeven (talk) 12:39, 2 January 2026 AndyMeven (talk) 08:21, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, Suitskvarts, left the following feedback:

This draft appears to be generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You should not use LLMs to write articles from scratch.

LLM-generated pages with the below issues may be deleted without notice.

These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies:

• hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references.
• unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual.
• copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations.

Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.

See the advice page on large language models for more information.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Angus Eric Methven Sinclair-Thomson to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Hello Suitskvarts,

Thank you for reviewing my draft article on Angus Eric Methven Sinclair-Thomson. I can assure you that the research, sources and structure are entirely my own work. I have spent a considerable time researching the subject and the article is based on archival material, regimental histories, the London Gazette, and other published sources.

As a relatively new Wikipedia editor, I have occasionally used ChatGPT only for limited assistance in locating sources and checking that the wording follows Wikipedia’s neutral encyclopaedic style. No content in the article was generated wholesale.

If there are particular passages or aspects of the draft that appear problematic or unencyclopedic, I would be grateful if you could indicate them so that I can revise the article appropriately before resubmitting.

Many thanks for your time
