Hey there! I noticed you're starting off your journey on Wikipedia by creating an article, which I saw (Sinac). That's really exciting! If you need any help with the article (I will help with contributions as well, as it seems like an interesting place), please shoot me a message on my talk page, and I will respond as soon as possible!

Hello HelloGrandGuy! Your additions to Draft:Almissani have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) 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 elegibility.
• 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 § License requirements.

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. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:12, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

can you tell me where the copyrighted material is so i can remove it? thank you! HelloGrandGuy (talk) 19:30, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I deleted the version that had the copyvio. The currect version does not appear to have any copyright issues. — Diannaa (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Qcne 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 brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
• reliable
• secondary
• strictly independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet all four of 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:Almissani 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.

Hello, HelloGrandGuy! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Qcne (talk) 19:18, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

can you please tell me the specific details on how to expand my article for it to get accepted on wikipedia HelloGrandGuy (talk) 20:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@HelloGrandGuy you have a single primary source, that does not prove the company meets our notability requirements for organisations.

The entire draft is also a thinly disguised advert for the company, which is prohibited on Wikipedia.

Are you employed by the company, perchance? Qcne (talk) 09:13, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

i will add more sources thank you for that

and no not at all im an independent writer HelloGrandGuy (talk) 20:27, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your contributions to Mladen Marušić. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Waqar💬 13:48, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

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

 The comment the reviewer left was:

We'd need a few more sources.

how many sources HelloGrandGuy (talk) 18:13, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Our standard is three independent sources @HelloGrandGuy. As long as they are published they can be offline (such as books). Qcne (talk) 18:27, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I'm Realtent. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 2026 Shreveport, Louisiana, shooting, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Realtent (talk) 21:08, 19 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Pretty stupid how you just reverted it other than you adding a citation for the already correct information which could be easily googled, but whatever sure. HelloGrandGuy (talk) 16:21, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

As per WP:BURDEN: "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material" which would be you. Also, please don't call me stupid. Realtent (talk) 16:30, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

I had no intention to be rude or to call you (other than your actions) stupid, and i would like to apologize if i seemed rude, thank you for the clarification though i'll be sure to add citations in the future. HelloGrandGuy (talk) 19:00, 26 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Zrinski Topolovac shooting, links pointing to the disambiguation pages Aftermath and Zastava M70 were added. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 09:38, 30 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

A tag has been placed on 2021 Šibenik & Vodice Shooting requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, as it exhibits signs of having been generated by an AI model with no clear human review. Text produced by these applications is prohibited on Wikipedia. For further information, see section G15 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think these signs were incorrectly identified and you assert that you did carefully check the content, 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. Additionally – if you would like to create an article but find it difficult, please ask for help at the Teahouse. Fortek67 (talk) 16:39, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

The use of LLMs (AI) is prohibited on Wikipedia. To make things easier, please admit whether or not you did use AI to generate the article. Fortek67 (talk) 16:41, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I would like to deeply apologize if the article i made seems AI generated, i admit i do use artificial intelligence for a blueprint on how the page should look like along with linking some references (cause i am new on wikipedia), but in no way have i ever copy pasted material made by artificial intelligence. Id advise considering on reversing the "speedy deletion" of the page, or atleast telling me what part of my writing style seems AI generated HelloGrandGuy (talk) 16:48, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for admitting. Articles should be published in your own words. Now, to give you another chance, I have drafted the article to Draft:2021 Šibenik & Vodice Shooting per WP:DRAFTIFY. You may complete significant improvements and cleanups to the article, were you can than resubmit via AfC (I have added a button at the top of the page). Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you. Fortek67 (talk) 16:56, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I cant seem to understand the term "orphan" why was my article listed as one and how do i not make it an orphan HelloGrandGuy (talk) 16:57, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

An orphan is when no other articles link to said article. Making it not an orphan is simple. Just add links in other articles that link to the article. Honestly since it's now a draft, don't worry about it until it gets accepted and moved to the article space. Fortek67 (talk) 17:18, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Does it count if it was in a category? HelloGrandGuy (talk) 17:56, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

No Fortek67 (talk) 17:57, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi, in this edit you added a reference as follows:

<ref>{{Cite web |title=Enable JavaScript to use search |url=https://www.google.com/httpservice/retry/enablejs?sei=PLU6arGvEtDk5NoP_ID16AE |access-date=2026-06-23 |website=www.google.com}}</ref>

This is a google search error page. I do not believe there is any way of reconstructing the search. Do you think you could perhaps replace it with whatever non-search source you had meant to use? Morwen (talk) 20:23, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi thanks for doing that - can you try the new link you supplied again though? It gives a 404 error for me - and I tried googling for the article title and can't find it either. Morwen (talk) 22:30, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Accidentally put the wrong link for the second time in a row, i think this should work now. HelloGrandGuy (talk) 08:42, 24 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Podvinje cafe shooting, a link pointing to the disambiguation page IED was added.

Hi HelloGrandGuy! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Raskuly 🐰 19:59, 13 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
