Hello, Mindstrm! 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! Rambley (talk) 15:23, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disappointed to say the least...must I re-write the whole article and not use LLMs at all? Mindstrm (talk) 15:36, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you do need to write it yourself, not use LLM's or copy (other than quotes) from elsewhere. This is something that should have its own article though. Can use Encyclopedia Of Pinball - Whiffle to Rocket 1930-1933 - Volume 1 : Richard M. Bueschel

The Billboard 1932-05-14: Vol 44 Iss 20 : Internet Archive

Thanks for the reply! I have already have the article deleted and have started from scratch. I am going to painstakingly write it all using the WYSIWYG editor here on the site and I will cite all my sources and quotations. Mindstrm (talk) 21:31, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
