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, Dan arndt, left the following feedback:

This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources.

Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.
Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute.

Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.

This draft's references do not show that the event meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for events. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the event in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
show lasting significance: analysis published after the initial breaking news has passed, showing historical impact;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the event, such as press releases, the event or organizers own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all four of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Next steps

Edit Draft:Arabesque Festival to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.

This draft appears to be generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You should not use LLMs to generate article content.

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.

The first source, the Jerusalem Post, does mention the words used in the lead, but clearly states the purpose of the festival is to bring together musicians from both Jewish and Arab populations, sp this core point did not make the article text, which said something else instead.

Thank you for the feedback. I have updated the draft to include the festival's mission of uniting Jewish and Arab musicians, as reported in The Jerusalem Post. ~~~~ Ruth-M1234 (talk) 11:04, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

@Ruth-M1234 - thanks for that, but it looks to me that AI / chatgpt or similar was used to write the text here? If so it would need to be rewritten to comply with WP:NEWLLM. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:07, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. Since English is not my native language, I used translation and grammar tools to make the entry readable and professional. However, I personally verified all information against the indicated sources and built the content manually. I will go over the text again to make sure it has a more natural tone and meets the policy guidelines. Ruth-M1234 (talk) 11:12, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

@Ruth-M1234 There is no requirement for article to be professional quality. Readable does help but it's a low bar there too, we don't need great English to be used. Any English mistakes can be fixed quickly, and we have a copyediting Guild that helps with that. But it takes hours and hours to unravel the damage done by AI. It's OK to use a translation tool to do a direct word to word translation, but that's all. It may actually be a lot easier to get an article into your native language's Wikipedia first, then translate it to English as a second stage. This is because it would then be OK to machine translate from another language Wikipedia to English Wikipedia. Then you get two Wikipedia articles for (almost) the price of one, so it's a win-win.

Thank you. I wrote the Hebrew article but failed to replicate it here correctly. I have revised the draft, removed the separate sentence about musicians, and added the word 'musicians' to the lead paragraph. ~~~~

Ruth-M1234 (talk) 11:57, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

In other words: The entry already exists on Hebrew Wikipedia. I wrote it there and have now translated it so it can also exist in English. ~~~~

Ruth-M1234 (talk) 12:38, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

OK, that is good to know. So you get an independent review now, it's best that I let another review editor has another look on it. I tend to avoid being reviewer number 1 and 2 and 3, it's better to get new eyes on the article. You can still keep working the article after submission. ChrysGalley (talk) 13:36, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

Understood. Thank you for your guidance and for the initial review. Ruth-M1234 (talk) 13:44, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
