Welcome!
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
It appears you may have used a large language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, in your edits. While LLMs are powerful, machine-generated text often contains serious flaws. They may introduce bias, errors, plagiarism, libel, or even hoaxes. Specifically asking an LLM to "write a Wikipedia article" can sometimes cause the output to be outright fabrication, complete with fictitious references. For this reason, the use of AI writing tools for the creation or rewriting of articles, alongside their usage to generate images, sources or comments, save for a few exceptions, is generally prohibited. LLM-generated articles may be quickly deleted. If you are unsure about your wording, an alternative is to suggest it on the talk page for another volunteer to look at it. If you are creating a new article, you may use the Articles for Creation process to get feedback on your work.

Your submission at Articles for creation: House of R'lyeh (June 18)
[edit]
LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice.
These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies:
- hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references.
- unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual.
- copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations.
Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.
See the advice page on large language models for more information.- essays or original research: personal views, advocacy, unpublished theories, or pre-prints;
- resumes or personal profiles: CVs, social networking pages, or memorials;
- directories or manuals: travel guides, catalogs, or how-to instructions;
- creative writing: fanfiction, worldbuilding, myths, or things you have made up.
Next steps
- Edit Draft:House of R'lyeh to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
- When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
- If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Please stop. If you continue to edit Wikipedia using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology), you may be blocked from editing. Adding LLM-generated content is prohibited on Wikipedia. bonadea contributions talk 21:23, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
