Your submission at Articles for creation: Theokoleon (May 7)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. 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:Theokoleon 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.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Roman Smoluchowski. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 17:48, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point Truthisclear (talk) 19:26, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Truthisclear! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it 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. Non-exhaustive recent examples of non-minor edits: [1][2][3] fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 17:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Truthisclear! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

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.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § Licensing.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. A selection of violations: [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Do not add further copyrighted material to Wikipedia in this manner. Thank you. Thank you. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 19:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting edits

Please don't split up edits, especially content from it's accompanying source, like at Tyagarah, New South Wales [12][13][14][15], Laugarvatn [16][17], Antonio Carattino [18][19], or Pisania ignea [20][21][22][23].

Copyright problem on Mount Talakmau

Hello. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Prose you find online, in books, in magazines, and in newspapers is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. The Wikipedia copyright policy and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. There's a simplified version of our copyright rules at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:37, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Continued copyright violations

One of your recent edits has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. Links to relevant diffs: [24][25][26][27]. Stop immediately, familiarlize yourself with Wikipedia's policy on copyright. You have been warned multiple times. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 17:00, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you user: fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four. I noticed you changed user Dianaa's threat to be your own. Also reversed/deleted all my well intentioned work, even my consultation with the mentor in history. I may have made mistakes as a new editor, and I assure you my edits were all made in good faith. Truthisclear (talk) 19:45, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"reversed/deleted all my well intentioned work" – I removed copyright violations, copyrighted content needs to be removed if found as stated at WP:COPYVIO#Parts of article violate copyright. Wikipedia may suffer legal consequences if copyrighted content is not removed.

"I noticed you changed user Dianaa's threat to be your own" – You were warned multiple times[28][29][30] with that last warning being from Dianaa, and still added more violations, which led to my most recent warning [31].

"I assure you my edits were all made in good faith" – Copyright violations may not be made in any faith. Carefully read and comply with the contents of, and linked pages within, all warnings you have been provided. You can also see WP:COPYPASTE for a short explainer essay about copyright policy.

After looking through some of your other recent contributions I've already found more copied text on Shutters on the Beach Hotel and Oliver-Leming House. You've already received several warnings for copyright violations. You need to understand that you cannot copy text from other sources, which includes almost all websites. If you have questions about this, or if Wikipedia's copyright policy is at all unclear to you, please just let me know and I'm very happy to help. MCE89 (talk) 13:23, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MCE89, thank you for your feedback as I am still learning. Truthisclear (talk) 20:30, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Continued copyright violations. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 21:19, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited translations

When translating from foreign language Wikipedias, you need to keep the citations. You are currently taking properly cited text from other language editions of Wikipedia and translating it into English while leaving off all of the citations, e.g. these edits from today [32] [33]. Please do not continue to add unsourced text to Wikipedia. MCE89 (talk) 13:15, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am taking note, thanks for the feedback. Truthisclear (talk) 20:31, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violations

You have been warned multiple times for copyright violations. In response to a very recent copyright violation, you stated thank you for your feedback as I am still learning. It's time to stop learning. It's simple. Don't copy stuff. If you continue with copyright violations, you will be blocked from editing. -- Whpq (talk) 21:25, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the feedback. I went over the rules, and this will not happen again. Truthisclear (talk) 22:13, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And to provide extra clarity: it is not only copying and pasting content directly that is a violation, close paraphrasing is also generally not allowed. Thank you. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 22:39, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sanford, North Carolina

It really isn't necessary to list every playground in the city. Please see WP:NOT. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:34, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Magnolia677. These brief descriptions are not a list of playgrounds. It is mountain biking, scenic walking trails, sports complexes, etc. It is the variety of options that highlight the outdoors in this city. No less important than (as there are other articles in Wikipedia) a list of roads, or nearby towns, or information which can be found easily in a map. Truthisclear (talk) 21:01, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

October 2025

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. An edit that you recently made to Rockingham, North Carolina seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is usually unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. 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. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:34, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Magnolia677. None of my edits are done using any sort of AI. I posted factual information, all with my own words using and citing from reliable sources. Do you use AI? Reverting my posts and updates to articles only affects Wikipedia itself. Why don't you want Wikipedia to display current, complete and accurate information? Truthisclear (talk) 17:28, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are there really plenty? Well golly! And does the golf green surge? Really? Who writes like that...besides "hey Google"? One edit I reverted wasn't even close to the source you cited. Let me join all the others who have cautioned you on this talk page...Wikipedia does not accept cut-and-paste, or AI generated edits. Thanks for your understanding. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:48, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Magnolia677: Yes I write like that, if you don't understand the meaning of words I suggest you look them up. All facts are true. There is no cut and paste, there is no AI use, no "hey google" (all your words, not mine) at all. Check the sources well, spend all the time you want trying to discourage me from editing. Your accusations are baseless, and your wanting to "join all the others" in a hostility attack is not appreciated. Your act of reverting my edits affects only Wikipedia and its readers. Have a nice day! Truthisclear (talk) 21:24, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Theokoleon

Hello, Truthisclear. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Theokoleon".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted.

Hi, Liz. Thank you for following up on the Theokoleon draft article deleted by the system. I will be looking into more information from reliable sources to ensure enough details can be included, before attempting to request "undeletion". I am also researching other subjects, however long it takes me to put all this interesting existing knowledge together. Thanks again! Truthisclear (talk) 20:51, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
