Your submission at Articles for creation: Grão Pará and Maranhão Company (December 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong 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 organizations and companies). 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

needs more sources.

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 when they have been resolved.

Anarchism

Hi XICO,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 22:15, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Democratic confederalism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Internationalist (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Eastern Algeria Arabic moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Eastern Algeria Arabic, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

September 2020

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Samba into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk🌴Help out at CCI!} 16:48, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Third opinion request

Hi XICO,

I saw that you edited Çukurova Arabic in the past.

We have an ongoing debate about the content of the summary and the infobox of Levantine Arabic. Especially about the use of Levantine dialects in Turkey. You can find the debate on the talk page. As you have some knowledge of the region, it would be great to have your opinion.

Speedy deletion nomination of LeadStory

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on LeadStory, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ~ lovkal (talk) 20:32, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024

Hello XICO. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:XICO. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=XICO|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 21:14, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Seraphimblade. This accusation of "undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic" is utterly absurd. Based on what? The "nature of [my] your edits' related to politics or sports? You're an administrator. You should exercise more responsibility in your judgments and interpretations before making such a serious accusation. Serious, but entirely ludicrous regarding my edits. Seriously. You could have simply deleted the topic. And it would have been okay. Now, accusing me of having an "undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic" was ridiculous and unfortunate. I merely created a topic about a news broadcast streaming whose existence I discovered today! I searched for information about it, but found none, and thus, I thought it would be a good idea to create a simple topic, as it seemed to meet notability criteria. I made a voluntary edit like all the others I've made! Zero interest in promoting a topic. If the said topic doesn't meet notability criteria, that's perfectly fine. Now, I am surprised by the lack of care from an administrator, who should be experienced enough to discern between a 'paid advocate' and an ordinary editor like myself. XICO (talk) 21:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm certainly pretty good at seeing when it's a possibility. I can't read minds, of course, so I can never tell with certainty, but when I see marketese junk like With a focus on individualized video news, LeadStory ensures users stay informed while enjoying a personalized viewing experience. Additionally, LeadStory operates as a personalized news streaming platform aimed at optimizing returns for publishers by delivering their quality content directly to consumers., there's a pretty strong possibility somebody got paid to write that kind of "copy". Though now that I take another look, I'm pretty sure I see the actual problem—it looks like that text was generated by a chatbot. Please ensure that you do not ever again use a chatbot to write any article content; it should be in your own words. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 21:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Seraphimblade. Upon rereading, I acknowledge that you are entirely correct in pointing out that the majority of the text was marketing jargon. Indeed, it was generated by OpenAI's artificial intelligence - out of sheer laziness and haste, without the slightest care to review and identify that, in fact, the result was a mess that truly seemed to be paid work. I read very quickly, without taking the slightest care to identify that it had become pure marketing - terrible, by the way - and I feel completely ashamed for not having reviewed the text as Wikipedia deserved. I apologize to the entire community, and the lesson for me is to refrain from using AI-generated text. I apologize for the tone of indignation in my previous response. I hope you understand that it was nothing personal; I was merely disappointed by the accusation. Yours sincerely, XICO (talk) 22:18, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
