Opening a discussion

• Recordkeeping note: This topic relates to Draft:2025 UC11.

discussion of how to improve Draft: 2025 UC11 Joe Cerniglia (talk) 20:31, 13 November 2025 (UTC) I would like to add some comments here and am just creating this as a placeholder for now. If you have additional comments you would like to make, feel free. Thank you for your input.

It's a disappointment, but maybe not a final rejection. I am devoted to the subject, and realize it may take some time. I invite you to review the editorial comments in View History that I made to show my thought process for proof of the care with which I created this AfC. Despite the formality of my tone, which may have come across as NLP, there is a human writing this.

Let's start with the problem of the citations. You state they are "completely improperly formatted." Can you provide a little more feedback here? Many of them were hand-corrected by other Wikipedia reviewers on prior dates, to show me, as a first-time submitter, how to do them properly. They are not all in the same format, but I was under the impression that the author had a little bit of latitude on this point. Guninvalid, can we begin a conversation on this point? Many of them, although not all, used the citation templates. None are bare links. I am a first-time submitter, so I am a little unclear whether communication between reviewer and author are in any way common or expected. Let me know. I'm ready to learn. (previous unsigned comment left by User:Joe Cerniglia (talk) at 21:39, 13 November 2025 (UTC))

Hello, @Joe Cerniglia. Please see Help:Cite. guninvalid (talk) 21:58, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

I think this part is fixable. And I thank you. Notability is beyond my control, but the lack of it may have several reasons: a. It may be too soon. I would think the astronomy community moves slowly. b. The object did not impact Earth so there was nothing for the ordinary person to witness. There is more for me to edit, and perhaps say here. But this was a start. Thank you. Joe Cerniglia (talk) 22:07, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

I think this object is certainly notable, but your draft is not acceptable. Please fix your citation formats and resubmit, and I will be happy to accept it. guninvalid (talk) 22:08, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Addressing off-topic concerns in the article titled 2025 UC₁₁

• Recordkeeping note: This topic relates to 2025 UC11.

After reviewing the relevant Wikipedia policies, I can see now that there is merit in what you are suggesting, and that you are doing your best to apply relevant Wikipedia policies in light of their historical applications.

Therefore, the best thing for me to do is probably to retain the text of the ST section somewhere where I can find it later, and then trim this section back substantially to its original proportions when I first inserted it, while retaining some of the improvements I made to citations and verifiability. If I choose, I can attempt to write a separate Wikipedia article on synthetic tracking later, and that can become its own project. Rome wasn't built in a day. My problem is I may be trying to do that, and in the process, creating something that is not properly in the style of Wikipedia. I do not want to do this. I can stay within guidelines, and still find ways to keep the ideas of ST in a stand-alone, if it meets notability guidelines. Joe Cerniglia (talk) 13:10, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Update: I have now trimmed the section on Synthetic Tracking by more than 50%. (I have also trimmed preparatory comments I made on this Talk page, which have been superseded by later thinking that was more in tune with your editorial judgment.)

I have a question for you? Have these cuts eased your editorial concern that this section is evolving to be off topic? If no, then I will need to do more. If yes, would you consider removing the banner on the section that states that the section may be off-topic?

Additional update: The modifications have improved the ORES rating as shown.

ORES Prediction prior to cuts: FA: 31.3% GA: 31.2% B: 23.8% C: 11.1% Start: 1.9% Stub: .006%

ORES Prediction after the cuts: FA: 46.5% GA: 25.1% B: 15.5% C: 10.9% Start: 1.4% Stub: .005%

Message: ORES believes that your editorial direction is helping. Who am I to second-guess? Joe Cerniglia (talk) 01:21, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Update 11/22: I have rewritten the section to bring it back into alignment with the topic. I discuss these latest changes on the article's Talk page. Thanks for your feedback on this section. Joe Cerniglia (talk) 01:23, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Update 11/23: Hello again! Thank you for allowing this space for a conversation, and thanks for the idea of putting the synthetic tracking section under the heading "Orbit and Classification." While I understand the wish to subordinate this section to others to make it feel topical, I'm having trouble seeing how the methods the astronomers used to detect the object using synthetic tracking relate to the somewhat dryer list of orbital attributes of the object. However, I can see how the title of the section itself, "synthetic tracking etc, etc." is awkward and stands out. My doing it that way breaks the "template" of other asteroid articles by not only positing a section no other asteroid article has but also suggesting to the reader "this is something you should know about" without giving them any clue in advance of why they should. Therefore, I am proposing, and have enacted in the article, an alternative solution. Instead of subordinating this important section, I propose to give it a more generic name: Discovery Methods. By calling it that, or something like that, it signals to the reader that they will learn how the object was discovered, a question that any reasonable person might ask. That title also sounds like a generic topic heading rather than a novel idea an author is proposing, and it does the job a header should: It tells the reader which box has been checked rather than obligating them to figure that out as they go along.

Again, I appreciate the many changes you've made. It has helped grow and improve the article in countless ways. It is a privilege to collaborate with you.

Update 11/30: Hello again! I wanted to let you know I will be removing the banner at the top of the section that states, "This section may contain material unrelated to the topic of the article. Please help improve this section or discuss this issue on the talk page." I am doing this for two reasons: 1. Banners are, as we realize, not intended to be permanent fixtures. They are a call to fix the problem in question. Since I have written the section to be better connected to the main article, the problem no longer exists. I let the banner stay for a few days, even after fixing the problem, to allow you and other editors to express a further opinion if you or they decided it was warranted. I presume from the lack of commentary on this banner that there is not much else to say, other than it was thoroughly addressed and resolved in the best possible way. 2. The banner may be dissuading new editors from reviewing the article. You have stated you believe the article should receive a second review. We both want the article to receive the fairest and most unbiased second review that is possible. Removing a banner that points to a resolved issue is one step toward that shared goal.

If you believe that this banner should not have been removed and that the section is still off topic, feel free to put it back with an explanation of why you believe the problem has not been resolved, and I will do my best to address that concern. Thanks again for reviewing my article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Cerniglia (talk • contribs) 11:56, 22 November 2025 (UTC), signed 08:11, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Joe, appreciate the message, even though I only got around to actually fully reading it just now. But congratulations on the accepted article! Have you put any thought into breaking synthetic tracking into its own article?

In the future, I would caution against removing tags like this in the draft process. Those can be helpful for draft reviewers like myself to gauge whether noticed problems have been solved. But now that the article has been accepted, it likely has. Happy editing, and thanks for improving Wikipedia! guninvalid (talk) 08:18, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

NPR?

Hi @Guninvalid! Just leaving a message to ask whether you've considered applying for new page reviewer rights? I see that you're active at AfC, with some participation at AfD as well. I think you would be well suited to the role, though reading WP:NPP wouldn't go amiss! If you have time definitely consider applying for a trial run and maybe sign up for WP:AFCDEC25 too! If ever you want to chat with other new page reviewers, there is a Discord server for NPP specifically, listed at WP:Discord#Other servers! Thanks! 11WB (talk) 00:41, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, @11WB! Nice to see you again. No, at this time I'm not interested in NPR rights, especially since the AfC backlog is bad enough as is. Additionally, there are other aspects of Wikipedia policy associated with NPR that I'm just not interested in learning at the moment. But perhaps I will in the future. Thanks! guninvalid (talk) 10:19, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

No worries! The AfC backlog will definitely be reduced next month thanks to the drive. You are always welcome any time! 11WB (talk) 13:21, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

2024 United States presidential election in Hawaii

There is an editor who is doing something I can't even comprehend at this article. It's not vandalism, but the editor appears to have a vested interest in making the page say something that their source does not back up. The editor has improperly added warnings (they have now added a block warning, which I'm sure non-admins can't add) to my talk page. They have improperly started an RFC, then changed the meaning of the RFC halfway. They have engaged in egregious Synth and OR violations. They have removed or misquoted sources without reading the content of the source at all. They have apparently deliberately vandalized parts of the page to make auto reverts more difficult. They also apparently have such a limited grasp of the English language that they cannot engage in reasonable discussion despite the fact that most of the things they want have literally been put into the article after they added proper sourcing. I have no idea what to do with this editor. BobSmithME (talk) 09:39, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

This seems like it belongs at WP:AN. guninvalid (talk) 09:44, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Ragday Oleksandr Tymofieiev

• Recordkeeping note: This topic relates to Draft:Ragday Oleksandr Tymofieiev.

Hello, dear Mr. Guninvalid. I truly appreciate your work and the time you have kindly given me. However, regarding my submission, I cannot agree with your decision to reject it. You wrote that there are not enough sources covering this project. But have you ever tried to imagine living in the reality that these young people face every single day? When rockets and bombs are falling on their heads? I am certain you have not. Yet these young creators are surviving in such conditions every day, and still trying to create something beautiful in this terrible world. What publications can we speak about when most independent journalists and media have left the country because of this horrific war? And those who remain can only write about the brutal reality of this bloody conflict. And now you make such a decision — at a moment when there was hope that you could help these creative young people who did not run from their country, but who, despite the horror around them, are trying to create something beautiful within the film industry. Mr. Guninvalid, I kindly ask you to reconsider your position and your approach. Or please advise me where else I can address this matter. With deepest respect, Yaroslav RagdayFan (talk) 09:05, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Please see WP:RS. guninvalid (talk) 09:58, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Alexander Kartozia for reconsideration

• Recordkeeping note: This topic relates to Alexander Kartozia.

thanks for your review of Alexandre Kartozia -- can you reconsider? He used to be the Minister of Education from 1998 until 2004, so a full cabinet member, and in that way merits inclusion. There are not so many sources about him from the time, as English language coverage on Wikipedia is limited. He is currently the ambassador of Georgia to Germany, so that also merits inclusion, plus he is a scholar.

Yes, the article still needs a few sources, but we can continue adding to that. ~~~ Hundnase (talk) 08:45, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Education minister could qualify him for WP:NPOL, but we would need WP:RELIABLESOURCES, preferably >3, to establish that fact. guninvalid (talk) 09:03, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

thanks for your reply! I added a few more sources. Again, the problem is that poverty of English online sources in that period. He had been mentioned here, and I now added incoming link (sorry if not using the right term).

Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia#Ministers of Education of Republic of Georgia

he also has his own Wikidata form. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q58606459

I am sure he will be cited more often now that he is an ambassador. (He also is a published author.) Thanks again for your consideration. ~~~ Hundnase (talk) 14:16, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello! Might you have a chance to check and consider? I added more resources, and also, see above, he WAS a minister for four years.

There are not so many more resources about him in English, but I am sure these will accummulate also.

~~~ Hundnase (talk) 18:44, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

It's generally discouraged for one AFC reviewer to review the same draft twice, so no, I am not reconsidering at this time. However, hopefully a different reviewer can give you a second opinion within the next few weeks. guninvalid (talk) 19:00, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 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 Guninvalid was:

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Wikipedia guidelines prohibit the use of LLMs to write articles from scratch. In addition, LLM-generated articles usually have multiple quality issues, to 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.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Guninvalid/sandbox 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 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 Guninvalid was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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 User:Guninvalid/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

The K.M. Chen article already meets notability requirements

Draft:Kun-Mu Chen

Proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shanker_Balasubramaniam&diff=1329743115&oldid=1329738204

This admin on a different article says to someone else "Your statement that notability requires independent sourcing is incorrect. These criteria allow affiliated sources to count as reliable. Please better familiarize yourself with the relevant guidelines." : )

Most of the sources are published by official MSU departments, and are therefore reliable.

Other very similar articles to review if interested:

• Draft:Leo Kempel
• Draft:Premjeet Chahal

~2025-43573-12 (talk) 13:18, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

I agree that they meet notability requirements, but you still need to have verifiable sourcing. None of your sources are verifiable. guninvalid (talk) 18:19, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

@Guninvalid: All sources cited meet WP:V requirements. The article includes peer-reviewed IEEE journal articles with DOIs (10.1109/22.41004, 10.1109/8.53492), official Michigan State University publications, an NSF grant record, and a published book with ISBN.

Which specific sources do you believe are not verifiable, and why? ~2025-43573-12 (talk) 20:02, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Questions about my draft

Hello guninvalid! I hope you're having a great day so far.

I have some questions about your feedback for my AfC submission, Draft:Reality shifting, and how I can improve it. I'll go to other places if I need more help, but I wanted to ask you specifically first because most of my questions revolve around your comment.

1. What specific parts of the article read like they are AI-generated?
2. Why does it read like an academic article rather than a Wikipedia article (beyond the specific detail "One article published in 2023" which I removed)?
   1. In WP:Writing better articles#Tone and WP:NOT, the only information given about academic writing is that one shouldn't presume the reader is versed in the subject and/or use jargon and academic terminology. I reread my draft and couldn't find examples of either.
   2. A better, simpler question to ask might be: is the problem in the draft's organization, the tone, or both?
3. For your main reason for rejecting the draft, you wrote that the draft lacked support from reliable sources. I'd like to clarify if the sources themselves are lacking (and if it's in quality or quantity), or if I'm just not using the sources correctly.

Also, thank you for taking the time to review the draft! I hope I can get it up to standards soon.

Have a great rest of your day (or night). 🙂

Draft:Tiago Martinez

Hi guninvalid. I wanted to let you know that I removed the CSD tag you placed on the above draft. It doesn't look that promotional to me, and the draft being unsourced isn't a valid reason to speedy delete it, either. Unsourced BLPs are regularly deleted at MFD, though, so I nominated it there. You're welcome to participate at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Tiago Martinez. Chess enjoyer (talk) 01:30, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

What did you even consider?

What jokes did you end up considering for April Fools Day this year? Carson004 (talk) 01:40, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

I wrote that in my list of April Fools ideas a few months ago. I've forgotten exactly which ideas I considered by now unfortunately. guninvalid (talk) 03:03, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Please do not terminate voluntary informal discussions on a topic

• Recordkeeping note: This topic relates to Wikipedia talk:Writing articles with large language models#My thoughts.

It is difficult to apprehend that a wikipedia editor would undertake to close an informal discussion on a talk page that they had no involvement in personally simply because you interpreted people's voluntary statements of their opinions as a time-waste. The AI discussion was intelligent and remains ripe; it is not fit for archival or termination at the present time (or likely any time soon). This is censorship if we have no public forum on here anymore to talk through these issues. You would do well to refrain from ending good-faith informal discussions on relevant topics and rendering any such further dialogue impossible by closing unilaterally the discussion forum in which we had been engaging in interesting and wide-ranging dialogue. I will ask that you willingly unarchive the discussion you closed out, as it had remained ripe and was neither over nor warranting of cloture. Ballardy Talk Page 22:04, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

WP:NOTFORUM is a policy. You are free to discuss AI and how it works as you please, but Wikipedia is not the place to have such a discussion. A discussion being voluntary does not make it appropriate for Wikipedia. guninvalid (talk) 23:09, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

We were not having just any abstract discussion on AI. Our discussion pertained directly to a Wikipedia policy, so let’s be clear about that. Ballardy Talk Page 23:12, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Untitled section

Hi! I saw you deleted my draft. To clear things up I wasn't trying to make it public, it was a test draft for personal benefit. I was however trying to move it to my sandbox as it was originally overwritten on a failed draft, because I was lazy lol. I do ask you please restore it under my sandbox, and send me the hyperlink because I suck at finding stuff lol Sarranidian (talk) 15:05, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello, @Sarranidian! I'm particularly picky about my talk page so I've moved your comment down here, hope you don't mind. I saw this earlier today and I was about to move your comment to User talk:BusterD, but it seems you've already asked them, which is great. In general, for something like this, your sandbox is a better place to tinker. I nominated your article for deletion from draftspace because there draftspace is specifically for the WP:Articles for creation process, and your draft stood zero chance of becoming an article. But in your sandbox, as long as you're not being disruptive, for the most part, you can experiment unbothered. Thanks, and happy editing! guninvalid (talk) 07:47, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

someone had moved it into drafts because I forgot a redirect even though the topics had no correlation tho lol. but yeah im gonna just redo it in my sandbox, it wasn't that much anyways. Anyways have a good day! Sarranidian (talk) 10:42, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Sorry to bother you again, but could you double check my sandbox "Kingdom of Farota" under my profile to see if it is in the right spot. If not could you please help me move it without deleting it. Thank you! Sarranidian (talk) 11:30, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Please avoid salty language in speedy tags

As in Draft:Anvil DB. I understand the frustration reviewers feel. But let's avoid language which might potentially complicate what is otherwise a straightforward process. Thanks for your eyes. When I see sigs of longtime taggers, it makes my process a bit less stressful. BusterD (talk) 11:08, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
