I see you are adding photos to articles, which is great. Just a tip, remember to include the date in the caption. It's easy to forget with a contemporary image, but as the years pass that image becomes a historic image, so having it dated is always a good idea. Usually the year is sufficient as a date, unless the exact date is of particular relevance to the image, e.g. a Good Friday service in a church might be best dated as "Good Friday, 2024" or "Brisbane City Hall after the earthquake, 23 June 2026" Kerry (talk) 03:54, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Kerry, Sorry about that I'll try to be more consistent in the future. Some articles I decided it didn't need the date simply because the interior wouldn't change, ie some of the Brisbane City Hall interior shots. So that was just my reasoning for the inconsistency. I'll try to do it in future. Lowanmk22 (talk) 05:07, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

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.

I use a LLM to help me write the bare bones of sections, but I haven't simply asked a LLM to create me an article from scratch. I've input information (largely from other sources on wikipedia) and laboriously went through and fixed up and rewritten most of it by hand. For example, much of the Opera and Theatre section came preexisting from the previous versions of the article and only ran through a LLM to help me structure it better, then I have gone through it again by hand.
