Hello, I'm Timtrent. An edit that you recently made seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Please refrain from making edits generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology) in Wikipedia pages without carefully reviewing them, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox.
We have spoken before about the use of AI to generate drafts. It leaves an unmistakeable fingerprint almost impossible for a human editor to emulate. Your stated profession means that you are far better than this and have no need to use shortcuts that are doomed to failure. I know you can write yourself. Please do so. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 07:43, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to make unconstructive edits to Wikipedia using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology), you may be blocked from editing. Now a third. You really must stop using AI. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 07:48, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your message on my talk page. I have responded, as I am sure you have seen.

Wikipedia is not a gentle place, nor is it easy to write for. Writing articles here was the hardest writing task I have ever set myself, and I had setbacks along the way.

Your work here is valuable. I value it. It just got off to a difficult start. I hope you regroup (can an individual actually do that?) and continue here. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 08:46, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Kned Wiki. This message concerns the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Elymian-Punic Walls of Erice".

Drafts that go unedited for six months are eligible for deletion, in accordance with our draftspace policy, and this one has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission, and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you read this, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the draft so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 17:25, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Giuseppe Coppola, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 21:04, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Mccapra - Thanks for the feedback. I’ve added two additional sources that are reliable and independent: the Enciclopedia Italiana (Treccani) and a recent doctoral dissertation. I've checked to make sure all claims are fully cited. I’ve resubmitted the draft via AfC for review. Kned Wiki (talk) 05:12, 30 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 ChrysGalley was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I suspect this subject is notable under WP:ANYBIO but unfortunately the sources are not sufficient to accept this draft in the current form. There is one academic paper with a single passing reference to the subject. There is an encyclopedia entry with also a single passing reference (and being tertiary does not count here). And the town blog site, which does have more information. Wikimedia doesn't help here either. Really there ideally should be three pieces of significant coverage, and maybe some wriggle room on that, but at the moment this is well short of the notability guidelines.

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:Giuseppe Coppola 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.

ChrysGalley (talk) 10:28, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi @ChrysGalley, thank you for the careful review and for outlining the notability concerns so clearly.

Since the rejection, I’ve revised the draft to address the sourcing issue directly. In particular, I’ve added an independent municipal biographical source published by the Comune di Erice (Ufficio Toponomastica) (E-Note biografiche, p. 39, Strada 625), which contains a dedicated biographical entry on Giuseppe Coppola with substantial coverage of his activities in 1848 and 1860.

This source is independent of the subject and of local blogs, and I’ve updated the draft so that the core biographical claims are supported by this municipal publication rather than by Trapani Nostra.

In addition, the draft retains a recent doctoral thesis (Fenoglio 2023) for academic context and a Treccani reference for verification of Coppola’s participation in the Expedition of the Thousand.

Before resubmitting, I wanted to ask whether the addition of an official municipal biographical register providing substantial coverage would be considered sufficient to meet notability expectations for a 19th-century historical figure under WP:ANYBIO, or whether you would still recommend locating a second comparable secondary work (e.g. a published historical monograph).

Thanks again for your time and guidance. Kned Wiki (talk) 11:25, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the note @Kned Wiki. Firstly can you please not use LLM? We spend much of our day fighting the stupid things that LLM sends our way, and it gets more than annoying when we even get messages in LLM! I'm sure your English is OK, and if it's not it can be fixed easily, but the damage caused by LLM is not so easy to fix. LLM is not your friend.

But to answer the question, yes the Town Council version is much better as a source location than an unofficial blog. Though this is not a requirement, it would be better if you could add more parameters to that source, just so it is clearer as to the quality of the source. Some people will incorrectly say it is a primary source, which is not the case, but putting in more parameters will make that clearer.

However this still leaves a requirement for multiple sourcing and at the moment the article relies heavily on just one source, though it is a good source. So really you need to find something more, in a book or newspaper perhaps. Hopefully you will find another good source. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:41, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi @ChrysGalley — thanks for the clarification. Since your note, I managed to find a book on historical inscriptions written by the Center for Garibaldi Risorgimento Studies, which I think is an authoritative source. Coppola isn't the focus of the book, which essentially is a cataloguing of Risorgimento commemorative inscriptions. However, it includes information on who the person was and why they were commemorated. There's also a full transcription of the text on the commemoration. Though I had photographed the commemorative plaques and Coppola's bust in Erice, the book now replaces the wikicommons images as "proof" and also confirmation of the key facts about Coppola's life. I've resubmitted the article. Hopefully it will be good now. If you search for "Giuseppe Coppola" in the URL provided in the citation, you'll find the passages about him. Kned Wiki (talk) 13:05, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi @ChrysGalley Happy New Year! I thought I'd let you know that I've done quite a bit more work on the article and I'm feeling rather proud of it now. I managed to find at least two sources with substantial information on Coppola (a newspaper article and a book on Risorgimento commemorations). I can't add anything more now, but next time I visit Sicily, I'll go to the library in Trapani or Erice, where I'll hopefully be able to find more information on his family life etc. It's all about continuous improvement, right? Have a great year! Kned Wiki (talk) 14:40, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Absolutely yes @Kned Wiki, indeed I wish more editors took on the point about improving the article. There is a hurdle for getting published, which you know about, but even when accepted into mainspace there is always scope to improve sources and text. Going to the library is always worth doing, it's something I do too, and sometimes it's shocking to find all the print media and sources that have not made it on to the internet. The ideal if there is a librarian there who can point you to exactly the right material, particularly if they hear you are trying to widen access to knowledge. I will reserve your draft for review and look at it later today. ChrysGalley (talk) 15:02, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Gurkubondinn. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Trapani–Birgi Airport in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 14:15, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

This does not only (the translated title was inserted as both 'title' and 'trans-title'): remove trans-title: Diff/1336999214. What you were doing is removing WP:AISIGNS, and using a dishonest edit summary in an attempt to evade detection. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 14:16, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Please refrain from making edits generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology) to Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Trapani–Birgi Airport. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 14:17, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Incontrivertible sign that ChatGPT was used: Diff/1336998811. This was then removed in the next edit with the somewhat misleading edit summary removed trans-title. It seems that you have been warned about AI use several times already, in § May 2025. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 14:19, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

I admit that I did use a LLM to help write it...but I can 100% vouch for the content. Everything in my version was perfectly cited, checked, and up-to-date. If you prefer a version that's mostly un-cited, lists flights that don't exist, has citations that go to 404s or page doesn't exist, that's up to you. But I think it reflects badly on Wikipedia as a trusted source of information. Kned Wiki (talk) 15:38, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

BTW, I'm well aware of Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models that, in the lead paragraph, states: "LLM can be useful tools". So, clearly, there's nothing forbidding the use of them. Kned Wiki (talk) 15:43, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
