Hello Crab44. Thank you for your contributions on History of Ghana. But on Wikipedia, we use the date format 7 July instead of ordinals such as 7th July. See MOS:DATESNO for more. Kwesi Yema (talk) 20:31, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your correction. That is well understood Crab44 (talk) 09:53, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. LakesideMiners^{Come Talk To Me!} 12:45, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After further review and consideration, I have decided to reverse this block. At the time I blocked your account, I did not realize that you were a participant in the edit-a-thon meta:Event:Africa Wiki Challenge 2025/Home. Originally, I blocked this account to prevent sockpuppetry, which refers to the misuse of multiple Wikipedia accounts by a single person to disrupt Wikipedia. However, it appears instead that your account was part of a group of multiple people who were editing as part of the edit-a-thon event. I sincerely apologize for my mistake.

Among the accounts that I had blocked as part of this sockpuppet investigation, I noticed that many of the accounts exhibited the following behaviors. I would like to warn you that the following behaviors may be considered disruptive by the Wikipedia community. (You may not have engaged in some of these behaviors, but some of your fellow edit-a-thon participants did do so, so I wanted to make you aware of them.)

• Using LLMs to post AI-generated content to Wikipedia without careful human review. We have an essay discussing LLMs here: Wikipedia:Large language models. If you do choose to use AI to assist you in editing Wikipedia, you must be careful to understand the limitations of these tools and carefully review the AI-generated content before publishing it on Wikipedia. You should consider disclosing whether content is AI-generated in the edit summaries of your edits.
• Changing national varieties of English. The English-language Wikipedia has a diverse community of English-speaking contributors who may have differences in the way that they spell certain words or use grammar. To make things consistent, we have rules for determining which national variety of English to use which can be read here: Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English. When in doubt, I would avoid switching national varieties of English (e.g. travelled vs. traveled or color vs. colour) without first discussing the issue on a talk page.
• Changing date formats. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Dates, months, and years for our guidelines on date formats. Please avoid using ordinals like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. in dates on Wikipedia. For example, instead of 30th July 2025, use 30 July 2025.
• Making many edits that could be accomplished by one. When submitting edits to Wikipedia, I recommend only pressing the "save edits" button once the changes are fully ready to be public. I noticed that some of the accounts involved in this case would sometimes submit edits while they were still in the middle of writing sentences or adding citations. This may be disruptive because readers might see the half-written sentences before you fix them, and it may also give the impression that you are trying to artificially inflate your edit count, which is used to grant you permission to edit certain articles.

I hope that this advice is helpful to you. I apologize once again for this block, and I hope that despite this negative experience, you will still consider joining the Wikipedia community and becoming a Wikipedia editor. Mz7 (talk) 05:56, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Catherine Reckling 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 can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia and output must be carefully checked. For further information, see the 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. Cicada1010 (talk) 17:34, 11 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Gurkubondinn. An edit that you recently made to Catherine Reckling seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is usually unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 18:10, 11 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
