This is in regards to the article that you reviewed, Draft:Mishiiken Tribe of Mackinac Island. Can you tell me what in particular you are talking about, signs of an LLM? After my initial denial I did use ChatGPT to organize my article, but all of the writing is my own as are the very valid sources. I went through and fixed the broken links to sources and made sure everything was correct. I am not fully versed in the sections or templates, so I can’t really speak to that. Can you please give me some specifics about what you found that is a problem so that I can correct it? Thank you.
Hello Mamaazhi'iwe. Your draft displays several obvious indicators of LLM use as outlined at WP:LLMSIGNS. I recommend you start again without using AI at all -- if you have an initial draft before ChatGPT got involved, use that as your base. There are plenty of helpful humans here who will help you with organizing and fixing errors. Otherwise, you will likely find yourself stuck in a loop. Hope that helps. Happy holidays, MediaKyle (talk) 02:33, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability.
Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive.
Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants.
Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points.
Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds.

Hello, I noticed you recently added links to opinion polls to the {{44th Canadian Parliament}} and {{45th Canadian Parliament}} templates. I have removed them for now as I think the way they were placed might cause some confusion. For example, opinion polling for the 44th general election is not very relevant to the 44th Parliament, as they would have been conducted while the 43rd Parliament was in session, hence why I don't think it belongs in a navbox titled "44th Canadian Parliament". However, I would not be opposed to adding the opinion polling for the next election in a separate group of the navbox, as it would reflect the popular opinion of the parliamentarians of that specific parliament. E.g. Opinion polling for the 46th Canadian federal election would be relevant in the {{45th Canadian Parliament}} template. Would you be on board with that? RedBlueGreen9301:04, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the message. I trust your judgement, do whatever you think would be best for navigation. I was merging some duplicative sidebars into their respective navboxes, so I just copied those links from there. If you don't think all of them belong or you want to re-organize them, I won't stand in your way. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 01:11, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a volunteer -- no one is employing me, nor most editors, to create Wikipedia articles. I created an article about you because you're a notable Canadian writer, and I like to create articles related to Canadian literature. Can you please tell me what specifically is incorrect? Thanks, MediaKyle (talk) 19:52, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I would like it deleted if that is ok - I do not have time to edit the entire page and I am quite busy. I have two new books coming out in 2026 and do not want misinformation online about me. Farhang Bennett (talk) 19:55, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid deletion is unlikely at this point, and further, you shouldn't be editing the article anyways -- article subjects are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves on Wikipedia. If you have an issue with the content of the article, please leave specifics at Talk:Patrick Woodcock so they can be addressed. Otherwise, the article subjects FAQ may be of use to you. I'm sorry that you aren't happy with the article, but I need to know what's wrong in order to fix it -- I can only go off what the sources say, and I trust The Canadian Encyclopedia. All the best, MediaKyle (talk) 20:00, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry that the article is unsatisfactory. You are in the best position to help me improve it by pointing out the inaccuracies -- I actually do not have the ability to delete the page, and it would survive a nomination for deletion based on the fact that you're covered in The Canadian Encyclopedia. There is not much I can do but make it better. MediaKyle (talk) 20:08, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The Canadian Encyclopedia is shit. The info is wrong and they did not factor check it with the author. This is disgusting - I have reported it and have begun other ways to flag it and you as well - thanks for causing such great offense. What a waste of time - Farhang Bennett (talk) 20:12, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reaching out, I noticed... The edit changing the book title was OK so I reinstated that, turns out it is most often referred to as "Farhang Book One"... not sure what else is wrong with the article because so far he has refused to elaborate. It's actually three accounts, if you check the history, there's also one under the name William Woodcock. I wouldn't assume any bad intentions in that regard, I think he's just forgetting his password or something and doesn't know that using multiple accounts tends to be frowned upon. He's clearly not trying to mislead anyone into thinking they're separate people. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a big thing -- out of the dozens of BLPs I've written, this is my first complaint. It's been an experience. MediaKyle (talk) 15:18, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I am not using two different accounts and have not hidden who I am - I just don't want a Wikipedia account my friends. Wanting to have correct info on a page about me that I did not ask for before two new books come out is quite an obvious thing to want. Please review this page to see publications, awards and festivals -
and Yes, it is Farhang: Book One since two more volumes are coming out.
If you read more reviews and interviews I am not called a travelling poet - that intimates at a short time abroad - I live in these countries - sometimes for 4 years.
Hello. Thanks so much for reviewing my draft. I'm wondering what specifically appeared like LLM speech in the draft. While I did consult with an LLM, no language from an LLM was actually used in the draft. So perhaps you can point me to specific instances where it appears an LLM was used so I can correct. I was sure to edit out any language that sounded vague or promotional which was the claim in the first declined submission.
Could you review my draft article on Adam Sherriff Scott? I know of your preference for articles that mention Nova Scotia. I have illustrated this article with a work by the artist from the collection of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia as you will see!
@Joan arden murray: A delightful article, thank you for sharing. I made a couple small changes and reviewed it. Please note that the month of death is inconsistent between the lead and the infobox. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 15:53, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much. I corrected the date of death. Good catch, thank you friend!
Gee, thanks! I try to keep it simple... Feel free to yoink anything you like for your own userpage, I myself stole the header from someone else. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 18:22, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot for sharing, these articles are quite interesting. I'm happy to see more coverage of Nova Scotian folk art. Enjoying the snow so far -- as long as I don't run out of storm chips. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 17:38, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you're good, I noticed you deleted the page 'Ecocem' that I had created. I'm wondering if you can help me identify where within the page was too promotional please so I can make necessary improvements? Mkellyecocem (talk) 12:45, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. I actually did not delete the article myself, I nominated it for speedy deletion because it was more-or-less an advertisement, and an administrator deleted it. I recommend you read over WP:BOSS and reconsider creating an article about your company on Wikipedia. It is more likely to draw negative attention than help you -- WP:FAMOUS goes over that. I can say with near absolute certainty that Ecocem does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and thus it cannot be included here. You may have better luck on websites like Crunchbase. All the best, MediaKyle (talk) 12:49, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there,
I completely understand that wikipedia is open and negative views and news can be placed on a wikipedia page, people are more than welcome to try to find negative news and add it to the page. If a company has no negative news, does that mean the page is not neutral?
I would also disagree that Ecocem does not meet Wikipedia Notability Guidelines as listed here, in fact I would argue Ecocem meets all of the guidelines of the General notability guidelines here: Wikipedia:Notability sources I used were from very reputable sources and there is a clear history of Ecocem in reputable news publications.
Companies are held to a higher standard here -- see WP:NCORP. I did my own research and there is not sufficient coverage for Ecocem to meet this criteria. You don't have to take my word for it, but I am telling you that your company cannot have a Wikipedia article -- it will continue to be deleted. If there are other articles that are similar in that category, that is probably a sign that those articles should also be deleted, and nobody has noticed them yet. Wikipedia has a lot of content that doesn't meet our guidelines and such articles are being deleted on a daily basis -- looking at other articles will not help you determine best practice. MediaKyle (talk) 13:13, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Can I ask kindly what is your own research in terms of determining notability? On the page you linked it states: "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject."
I believe this to be the case, there are many examples of the company being covered by reliable secondary sources that are independent from the company. Mkellyecocem (talk) 13:31, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, my husband and I recently created a wiki page for my father, Akinjide Osuntokun, and I noticed the page was moved to draft yesterday. We are new to this so can you please advise how to get it back to the main page? Thanks. JOsuntokunUnited (talk) 09:38, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. First, you should start again and rewrite the article without using an LLM for anything. After you've done this, submit it for review using the box at the top of the draft. Writing about yourself and your family is discouraged, and you should not publish the article yourself. Someone will have to review it. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 12:00, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for responding so quickly. I will rewrite it. Although the subject is my father, all the information included is irrefutable, based on fact easily available to the public. JOsuntokunUnited (talk) 12:59, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding your speedy deletion nomination: I have removed the CSD from the article, as it had already been declined. If you still believe it should be deleted, then it should be nominated through the Articles for Deletion process (or better yet, help the article improve). If you ever see that a deletion tag is removed, please always check the edit history to see who removed it and why. If it was declined for a valid reason, you shouldn't just reapply the same deletion tag, as that can come across as bad faith editing. Stephen!Coming...14:39, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
