Happy editing! Marquardtika (talk) 13:50, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Please read WP:ENGVAR. You have incorrectly changed several instances of correct spelling based on the article subject to American English spelling. Please don't do that. Schazjmd (talk) 17:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Also, please read WP:INOROUT to understand the use of punctuation with quotation marks in Wikipedia articles. Schazjmd (talk) 17:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Will do. Thank you for the heads up. Bookleo (talk) 17:57, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bookleo! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Remsense诉 21:50, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Even if your changes to diction mostly don't change the meaning of sentences, they are changes other editors would generally like to review; ergo please do not mark them as minor. Thanks! Remsense诉 21:55, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Miller Place High School. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. That was not a grammar error. Per the district's website, that school is indeed the only high school. Don't make grammar assumptions that change the meaning of claims. Meters (talk) 21:12, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. Bookleo (talk) 21:23, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

In general, I would characterize edits like the kind you've made to Existence as "not improvements" at best, and potentially reducing clarity on the margins at worst. This is only a litmus test and you still need to use your head, but generally Featured articles and many Good articles do not require this kind of meticulous copyediting for diction, as such issues have already been ironed out and every sentence says what it says the way it does for a good reason. Remsense诉 22:59, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

The kinds of changes you're making are sometimes clearly beneficial, but at other times seem more like rigorously enforcing a certain conception of style and parsimony for no clear reason: when this is done across a wide breath of highly visible articles, it can be seen as disruptive. Remsense诉 23:01, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello Bookleo. I appreciate your efforts to improve the article Vatican Museums, but some of your edits have been reverted or corrected, in part because your use of English was grammatically incorrect. If you speak a different language more fluently or require assistance, please feel free to ask for help with your proposed edits on the article's talk page. Please don't use an automated tool to alter spelling or grammar if you aren't fluent enough in English to know whether those changes are correct. There are multiple users who would be glad to help you fix grammar-related issues. To find out about other useful contributions you can make to Wikipedia which don't require absolute fluency in English, see Wikipedia:Task Center. Thanks! - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 23:24, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I will review my previous edits to ensure I didn't make any unintended errors. Bookleo (talk) 23:38, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

I have to reiterate what User:Sumanuil said above, but this time in connection with the article Annales school. You made a few changes that were not a net improvement to the article, because a couple of them changed the meaning, probably unintentionally, such as changing the term main source to primary source, which is not acceptable because the latter has a very special meaning. I've undone most of the changes you made in that edit, keeping a couple of the good ones. If you need general help with editing Wikipedia, try the WP:Teahouse. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:47, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

I wanted to welcome you to Wikipedia, and thank you for editing. I do it as a distraction from the "real world" so I know how satisfying it can be. Furthermore, I'm not personally a member of any WikiProject, but I thought you might be interested in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors or at least the resources they have linked on their main page to use in improving your copy editing skills. It can take a bit of fumbling around on here until you "get it" (but sometimes I trip up too, after 10 years, LOL). Lalaithan (talk) 02:14, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

@Lalaithan Thank you for this resource. Bookleo (talk) 11:19, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:TheShowman BookCover.webp. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Done. Bookleo (talk) 15:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:TheShowman BookCover.webp. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 00:26, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I am writing a draft article about a book and want to include the book cover. Should I wait until the article is published to add the photo? Bookleo (talk) 00:58, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

The Showman: Inside the Invasion That Shook the World and Made a Leader of Volodymyr Zelensky, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hi Bookleo, thanks for your useful edits to the MBFR page. Just to note, if a page is using British English (or US English), it's usually best not to amend that unless there's a compelling reason to do so, which in this case I'm not sure that there was. Thanks, Ericoides (talk) 12:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for catching that. I will take another look at the article and reverse any edits made in error. Bookleo (talk) 12:26, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Your edits to Wolf Hall seem to been in contravention of the WP policies WP:FICTENSE and WP:ENGVAR. These are well established WP conventions and, furthermore, the second is just good manners for this English author writing a very English novel. You seem to be a very practised editor of topics relating to fiction, so I was surprised to see that you are persisting with this.--AntientNestor (talk) 15:13, 15 September 2024 (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 Dcotos was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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:Septology 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.

Is this a response to my resubmission earlier today?​ I ask this because it appears the article remains in the queue for review, as the button for resubmission is ​unavailable. Please clarify. Bookleo (talk) 21:00, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bookleo. It's not clear why you uploaded File:John Adams - A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America Vol. II. (1787.jpg given the source you've provided for the file is found here on Commons licensed as public domain. If the only reason you did so was because you scanned the inner cover, then that's not going to be allowed per WP:FREER and c:COM:2D copying. If there's another reason, please clarify. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:30, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

When you add an infobox containing coordinates, as you did here, please remember to delete the coordinates that were already in the article. (Also, you added an infobox about a mountain in Washington to an article about a mountain in Antarctica. Try to avoid this sort of thing.) And note that no article needs an infobox; infoboxes are completely optional. Deor (talk) 23:03, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi - are you using AI for your edits here? If so, can you mention:

• What tool(s) you are using and what version
• What prompts and features you are using
• What review you are doing of the output

Thanks. Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:40, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

@Bookleo You really should read WP:LLM if you haven't already, so that you are aware of the concerns that many of us have about allowing chatbot-generated content here. ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 22:32, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi Bookleo, I see that you've made additional edits today. Quite a few editors on the LLM noticeboard are concerned about some of your past edits, so we would appreciate it if you respond at WP:LLMN § yet another large swath of AI edits as soon as possible. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 23:55, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi Bookleo - I reverted an edit you made on Richard and the Young Lions because it was an inaccurate summary of the article that made it sound as though the band was far more successful than the article warranted. I noticed that you made the edit only 4 minutes after your previous edit, and that the style of your text follows typical AI-generated styles and errors. I realise there (unfortunately) is no ban on using AI to edit Wikipedia, but do you have a strategy for reviewing your edits to avoid errors like this one? Lijil (talk) 16:00, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Also, according to WP:LLM you need to tag every edit you make using an LLM. Rapid and unreviewed editing is also likely to be a violation of WP:MEATBOT. Lijil (talk) 16:10, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

FYI @Lijil WP:LLM is not policy, although it is good guidance

@Bookleo WP:MEATBOT is policy and I agree with Lijil that some of your edits likely violate it. WP:V, WP:OR, and WP:NPOV are also policies that unreviewed, LLM-generated edits frequently violate NicheSports (talk) 18:24, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Gnomingstuff (talk) 17:01, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain namespaces ((Article)) for your undisclosed use of a large language model (LLM) to make edits to articles.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  — Newslinger talk 07:16, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi Bookleo, this is a partial block that prevents you from making edits to articles, but does not prevent you from participating in noticeboard or talk page discussions. There are currently two noticeboard discussions regarding your LLM use, WP:ANI § Large swath of possibly loosely reviewed AI rewrites by Bookleo and WP:LLMN § yet another large swath of AI edits. Please join these discussions so we can find a path forward. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 07:23, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it consists of machine-generated text. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 18:19, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

My name is Jahnavi and I am a design researcher at the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). The Language and Product Localization Team is conducting a study on how editors create new articles or add new sections to existing articles on Wikipedia. We’d also like you to explore some design concepts and provide feedback. Based on your experience, we believe you would be a valuable participant in this study and would like to invite you to take part in an interview to share your insights on creating new sections or articles on Wikipedia.

This study is taking place between 15th Sept - 6th Oct. The interview lasts about 75 minutes and is conducted remotely over Google Meet in English. Please note that you would be required to share your screen to demonstrate your process and explore the design concepts. We can provide live interpretation into your preferred language upon request. We are pleased to offer a digital thank you gift through our partner service, Tremendous, for completing the interview.

If you would like to participate in an interview, please complete this short form. I will contact you using the email you provide in the form with instructions on how to participate.

If you have any questions or concerns about this research, please feel free to ask me. I look forward to hearing from you,
