Common mistakes
There are a lot of common mistakes that new editors will make while writing a draft article. Here are a few that you must watch out for and avoid:
  • Writing about yourself, someone else, or something in which you have a personal, or professional relationship
    Whether it is yourself, a family member, a friend or mentor, a colleague, employer, or business partner, something you invented, a book you wrote or a business that you're associated with, writing about topics with which you have a conflict of interest is discouraged, as the article may not be neutral.
  • Copy and pasting material from other sources
    The article must be written in your own words. It cannot contain any content that's directly copied from elsewhere or even copied and then slightly-modified. Articles that contain this will likely be deleted.
  • Not citing your sources
    Articles without references to independent reliable sources are usually discovered and deleted quickly.
  • Overly promotional language
    Terms like "leading expert" and "ground-breaking technology" sound great when advertising or promoting a product or service, but they do not belong on Wikipedia or in an Encyclopedia. Let the facts and the information speak for themselves.
  • Using AI to write articles
    The use of large language models to create new articles is prohibited. Large language models like ChatGPT can create articles that appear to look okay, but often contain untrue or hallucinated information.
