Swimming pool bacteria
[edit]I wanted to give you some feedback on your draft on User:Jg2439/Swimming Pool Bacteria. I see a few problems with it
- It appears to be AI generated - it scored almost 100% on the AI detector I tried. This is probably considered plagiarism by your institution, and isn't acceptable for a Wikipedia article. At best, that means its tone is totally wrong for a Wikipedia article.
- Your work has no citations. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single reference after all of them, but you need to have at least one reference per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final reference in a paragraph. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module.
- Your tone isn't appropriate for an encylcopaedia artilce. You are supposed to neutrally describe what reliable sources say, not try to convince readers.

- Hi Ian!
- Thank you for the feedback. I'm not sure why you say it is AI generated, I did not use AI at all when writing it. Is there any way to fix this? I will be adding in my citations over this weekend and will try to revise my tone. Jg2439 (talk) 16:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Lead section
[edit]
Thanks for creating this article. Could you add a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article (as outlined in pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I've linked here)? Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
