Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 06:09, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Theodor Oelenheinz (June 9)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Theodor Oelenheinz 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.

Can you very kindly point me which parts exactly either miss citations or where the citations are not sufficient, and why?

I am very happy to rework, but with such general feedback, this remains very difficult. Smaddl (talk) 10:40, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Theodor Oelenheinz (August 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JesusisGreat7 was:

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These 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.

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.

I am sorry, but I have spend many, many weeks by now writing and researching this article and reading all the sources on this. Not a single line has been written by chatgpt or alike. Did you run my text through a an AI detection tool? Please do and you will see the result. You may find language errors as English is not my native language, but this text is clearly not written by a large language model.

Also, try entering this person into any large language model. It wont tell you much as it doesnt have any of the details that I researched on this person. Smaddl (talk) 19:16, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:Theodor Oelenheinz has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Theodor Oelenheinz. Thanks! 11WB (talk) 14:21, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. Valid point. The difficulty here is: I have written both texts. I started writing for the wikipedia article, and then, when I realised that it maybe nice to have this text also outside wikipedia in a different format with more interpretation and own judgement in it, I published via startequal.org.

So:

- I do own the copyright to the startequal.org-text.

- I could put that text under CC BY-SA 4.0 if helpful.

- I could take that page-offline again, wait until Wikipedia article is accepted and online, and then rewrite the startequal article also with reference to the wikipedia one. Then I would lose the text as a reference for the "book review" part, but as this is my own review, maybe not best-practice anyway.

What do you suggest in such a special case?

Thanks for the guidance to go the proper way forward.

I hope you are able to see I did not copycat someones work in the traditional sense.

Jan Smaddl (talk) 14:41, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

I did see a [16] at the end of the text on startequal.com after going through the copyvio process. The dates don't fully reflect what you have explained however, as this was published on May 22, 2025. The revision date where the text in question was added to the draft is from June 27, 2025 per this diff. The only thing I can reasonably do in this case is let an administrator review the actions I have taken. If they feel there was a copyright violation then they will perform a WP:REVDEL. I hope I've explained this in a way that makes sense! 11WB (talk) 14:57, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

@Smaddl, to avoid this type of issue in the future, please have a read of WP:BACKWARDSCOPY. In this instance it wasn't clear to me which page the text in question originated from. The information in WP:BACKWARDSCOPY will help prevent this from occurring in the future! Thanks! 11WB (talk) 15:58, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your thoughts. Regarding you notice that my explanation doesn't add up timewise: You are comparing version dates of the wikipedia article with the creation date of the startequal.org article. Just like the wikipedia article, the startequal.org article also evolved over time. I have added a remark at the end of the page to reference the wikipedia draft page and that the articles are written in parallel.

Do you have a recommendation where to go from here? Much solid content has been removed now by the admins that I feel I should recreate, maybe with the backwardscopy notice on the page/article? If you agree, can you help me out how and where to add it? I did read the page you linked, and tried to add "{{backwardscopy}}" to the talk page as was suggested to the talk page, but this resulted in some error notice that I dd not add a reference.

Thanks for your help! Smaddl (talk) 19:17, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

An administrator has not yet reviewed the actions I took earlier today. I should mention here I am just an AfC reviewer - I can only take actions based on the content. So anything regarding actual deletion can only be done by a Wikipedia administrator.

In regards to your question of what to do now, I would recommend waiting for an administrator to complete the review and then, as you suggested, follow the steps that are laid out on the page I linked! 11WB (talk) 20:25, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. The article now says "This submission has now been cleaned of the above-noted copyright violation and its history redacted by an administrator to remove the infringement. If re-submitted (and subsequent additions do not reintroduce copyright problems), the content may be assessed on other grounds."

So I would go ahead as suggested. Smaddl (talk) 09:09, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

That message was added when I updated the AfC decline notice to show that I had removed the copyrighted text. An administrator hasn't reviewed the draft just yet! 11WB (talk) 09:30, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I misinterpreted that because it said "by an administrator".

Had gone ahead already and

- linked the Backwards copy notice

- rewrote in own words the reception paragraph/section

- did some more fintuning and improvements

and re-submitted.

Thanks for your support in making Wikipedia a realiable source. Smaddl (talk) 09:56, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

I checked the webpage again and can confirm that the required notice is present. Thank you for doing this as it means any reviewers that see this in the future will know it isn't a legitimate copyvio! I've removed the revdel notice on your draft to reflect this! I can see you have resubmitted your draft, so I'll wish you well with your Wikipedia endeavours! Happy editing! 11WB (talk) 11:07, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
