CONTRIBUTIONS

Chaotic Enby is currently experiencing mental health issues, which may affect their Wikipedia editing in various ways. They may have difficulty with:

altered perception when making editorial judgements, determining consensus, or reading Wikipedia discussions addressed to them;
reduced availability on Wikipedia during times when they experience issues;
limited capacity to respond to other Wikipedians via talk page or email messages in a timely fashion, to participate in conflict resolution, or to complete their usual workload of Wikipedia tasks.

Thank you for your understanding.

Matador Network page review

Thanks so much for reviewing this page. Would you be able to highlight specifically the language feel is promotional, advertorial or otherwise not neutral? This was written very carefully to be in Wikipedia's neutral style. There is no content that cannot be directly traced to one of the many high profile sources that are cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caffrey, Neil (talk • contribs) 17:21, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The emphasis on numbers of followers, visitors, etc. in the lead, with things like is the largest independent online travel publisher definitely give a promotional aspect. This whole paragraph too:

After bootstrapping the company on $11,000, Borden scaled Matador Network into a seven-figure business and one of the largest travel brands on the web. Matador has thousands of travel writers, adventurers and influencers within its network, and has evolved from a branded content business into a full-fledged production studio making custom content for brands, hooking them up with its influencer network and distributing it to its millions of readers and social media followers.

Also, emphasizing likely non-notable rankings like Fast Company named Matador Network to its 2024 list of Most Innovative Companies, or some corporate keywords like a revamped platform, add to the promotional tone of the article. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I really appreciate this feedback! Updated the draft based on these comments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caffrey, Neil (talk • contribs) 21:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration case opened

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Backlash to diversity and inclusion. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Backlash to diversity and inclusion/Evidence. Please add your evidence by October 10, 2024, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Backlash to diversity and inclusion/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Party Guide/Introduction. For the Arbitration Committee, SilverLocust 💬 12:21, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed decision posted

In the open Backlash to diversity and inclusion arbitration case (also called Yasuke), the proposed findings and remedies have been posted—though you are not mentioned in any of them. If you wish, you may review this decision and draw the arbitrators' attention to any relevant material or statements. Comments may be brought to the attention of the committee on the proposed decision talk page. For a guide to the proposed decision, see Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Party Guide/Proposed decision.

Operation Identification Flag

Hi @Chaotic Enby. Thanks for your review of the new Operation Identification page. I revised the page attempting to respond to your {primary sources} tag: (1) I added a new secondary source (ref #1); (2) I added existing secondary sources as refs (from the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin journal) to some statements that were previously just see, e.g.-type citations to primary sources; and (3) I revised some of the article language to more accurately reflect analysis in the secondary source rather than relying solely on a primary source as a see, e.g.-type citation for analysis. I believe the article is now supported by appropriate secondary source citations and I tried to eliminate any analysis based solely on primary sources, but I welcome your additional discussion. If you still have concerns that prevent removing the {primary sources} tag, please help me understand which sections of the article you're concerned about. Thanks! Elindstr (talk) 16:57, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Elindstr Thanks a lot! This is definitely an improvement, although the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin journal is still not fully independent (being also part of the FBI), and completely independent sources would be ideal. Also, the primary sources (for their respective claims) to the National Neighborhood Watch could be replaced by secondary ones, and it would be great to see if a published study reports the claim currently sourced to a letter by Allend Voss to the Attorney General. Still, it is already much better! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I exhaustively searched and located secondary sources and I've now taken the article as far as I'm interested. I'd like to remove the flag now and move on. OK with you? Elindstr (talk) 00:59, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I almost denied it for being a copyright violation but then I noticed it does have a link to the source it uses in the last line where it says "In the spirit of education, National Purebred Dog Day maintains a website and social media presence." the link is in the word website.

Removing of an edit

You shouldn't add text with a non-neutral tone like He has been one of the actors that took it upon themselves to advocate for the redressing of the injustices and adversities faced by artists in the entertainment industry. If you wish to add this, you should word it more neutrally, and source it to independent reliable sources making the claim. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 01:04, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Health Development Partnership for Africa and Caribbean

Can you please help us understand what makes it not encyclopedic? RasDestaDamtew (talk) 21:17, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the wording of the article is very much promotional and does not correspond to the neutral, encyclopedic tone expected. Wording like HeDPAC is led by prominent champions is clearly not neutral, and a lot of the article in general has a "corporate speak" tone – you can try to reword it by looking at other articles on similar initiatives!

Also, it would be good to clarify your connection with User:Alnjms, as you both created the same page at a close interval. Do you work together, or for HeDPAC, in any capacity? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:57, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ANI comment

Hello, Chaotic Enby,

I noticed your comment in an ANI discussion about "109 countries" but I couldn't find a reference to that phrase on the article that you linked to. If it is not too offensive, could you tell me what this phrase is referring to? Because I'm clueless. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Hi (since they haven't gotten back, I'll just quickly answer). The number 109 is white supremacist numeric shorthand for an antisemitic claim that Jews have been expelled from 109 different countries. (Sources on this are found here, here, here, here, here and here). Basically, it's never a good number when used in a context relating to Judaism. MemeGod _chat 14:27, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to write an answer, but you beat me to it! Thanks for the links and the explanation – to be honest, I'm surprised it wasn't in the article I linked, although given the number of absurd claims I understand they can't all be in there...

Question from Limelightmedia1991 (18:42, 5 November 2024)

Hello! How can I create a page? --Limelightmedia1991 (talk) 18:42, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Limelightmedia1991 Hello! The best way is to start by making sure the topic is notable. While there are quite a few complicated guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability, a much simpler overview is given at Wikipedia:42. Find a few in-depth references from independent reliable sources (interviews or press releases aren't considered independent for our purposes), so you can write the article from the information they give you.

Then, when you feel like writing, you can start with a draft. For that, you can go to Wikipedia:Articles for creation, and read down to the "Click here to start a new article" button. Then, go through a few clicks to start a new, empty draft. When writing it, you can read Wikipedia:Your first article as a reference point. Once you have posted your edits and feel the article is ready, click "Submit" on the banner on top of it, and a reviewer will check the article for it to be published!

Proposed deletion of Tulu'i Islam

The article Tulu'i Islam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved almost 15 years. Tagged as not notable for 12 years.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Query

Hello, First of all I would like to say that..Your Userpage is amazing and is among one of the most beautiful User pages I have ever came across. Secondly, There is a YouTuber named Nitish Rajput. He is very prominent in India. A year ago, an article was made about him but was deleted through PROD. Maybe at that time he wasn't notable. But still, then also some users in the AfD discussion had said that he might be notable after some time. Although, the article was then deleted. As an AfC reviewer and an experienced editor I would like to request you to please invest some of your valuable time and check if now he's notable or not and would it be justified to create a draft on him and submit it for AfC. I am not able to figure this out by myself and therefore requesting you to do so. As you know, It takes quiet long time to create any draft or article. So, it would be very helpful for me to know that if it would be good to create the draft or not. AstuteFlicker (talk) 11:06, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks a lot for the compliment! Unfortunately, I am not the most knowledgeable person regarding Indian sourcing, and I do not speak any of the languages of India, so I might not be the best at searching for sources in this domain.

Question from Senior manchi (10:18, 2 December 2024)

How do I create an article --Senior manchi (talk) 10:18, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Senior manchi Hi! For new users, the best bet is to go through the articles for creation process! The first thing you'll want to do is look for sources about the article's topic, and use the information from these sources to write a draft, which you can then submit for it to be reviewed! A common pitfall for new editors is to write the article backwards, first writing it and then looking for sources to support it, which is often much harder to do. There is more information out there at Help:Your first article if you want! Good luck! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 10:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pygsuia being changed to a Genus?

I understand that Pygsuia Biforma is the only species in its genus, but I don't understand why that means that an article about it should be changed so that its title and description are about the genus and not the species. This happens in a lot of taxonomy articles and was curious about the reason. Haplodiploid75 (talk) 12:04, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usually, when a genus has a single species, having both articles would be redundant, and by convention the article is placed at the genus level (WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA). This is really just a matter of convention to keep things consistent, and the convention itself is ultimately pretty arbitrary (for instance, French Wikipedia places the article at the species level, if I remember correctly). Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 12:13, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Makes sense to keep it then. I’ll add a line about this being the only species in the genus so the other stuff makes sense Haplodiploid75 (talk) 12:24, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging Perseus and Topos texts as AI generated

Please do not tag citations from Perseus or Topos texts as AI generated. They do not generate anything, nor use AI to translate their texts. As they state here (Perseus) and here (Topos text) they simply collate works in the public domain to be accessible to modern users. I saw you used AWB to make those edits, so I think perhaps you might want to review those edits that have been made to make sure there aren't any more mistakes. AD Vortigern (talk) 12:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AD Vortigern The tagged source was https://topostext.org/work/860, which was explicitly translated with GPT4. To quote the source itself: Scholia to Lycophron's Alexandra, marginal notes by Isaak and Ioannis Tzetzes and others, from the Greek edition of Eduard Scheer (Weidmann 1881) (downloadable at archive.org, translated by CHATGPT 4.0 with more speed than accuracy, with prompts and work-arounds by Bruce Hartzler and a few manual improvements (?) by Brady Kiesling. This text has 2332 tagged references to 543 ancient places. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 12:55, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see a problem then. The translations are accurate enough, << Compare TT's version of §184: ("Skyrian dragon" refers to Neoptolemus because of his murderous and bloodthirsty nature; for according to some, Neoptolemus was raised only in Skyros (90 13), but according to me, he was also born there from Deidamia, the daughter of Lycomedes. Skyros is one of the Cyclades islands.) with the translation in S. Hornblower's Lykophoron: Alexandra : (The phrase "Skyrian dragon" is referring to Neoptolemus due to his violent nature, and the fact that he was born on Skyros, one of the Kykladian islands. I have also heard that he was born there to Deidamia, the daughter of Lycomedes.) >>, but as much as that is the case you're right and they have unambiguously used ChatGPT to help them translate. My issue is that the tag you provided makes it seems like the two sources (TT & Perseus) are unreliable, when they very much aren't. As you're clearly more well versed in Wikipedia's policies than I am, could you perhaps change the tag to something less ambiguous? AD Vortigern (talk) 14:34, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, that's a point where two policies intersect in a less-than-productive way. We're supposed to put the citation maintenance tags outside the footnote itself, so potential issues are immediately visible to readers, but that is not practical when the footnote bundles several references as it makes it harder to see which one is the issue. I don't see an obvious way to have both work together, but I'm open to solutions! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 15:18, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment on article

Hi! You reviewed a draft I made. I edited the language. I do not agree with the point you made here a bout Forbes article. I do not see any issues with it and would like to keep it. As you can see, there are many other articles with an extensive coverage. A Forbes article provides a good overview of the designs. When you open it, you can see it is a prominent contributor in the filed for Forbes. Would appreciate if you can take a look. I edited text, because it was made with ai before. I asked it to gather the highlights about the designer.

Draft:Corina Larpin Moondust534 (talk) 19:46, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Moondust534 Hi, thanks a lot for looking at the article again. It is strongly suggested to write the article in your own words, and you should at least check if what the AI outputs is correct (as everything you publish, including AI-generated, is your responsibility). Regarding Forbes, it isn't my opinion but the consensus of the community (WP:FORBESCON) that articles published by Forbes Contributors, even "Senior Contributors", rather than Forbes Staff, are usually not reliable and do not count for notability.

WP:NTK

You made some edits to WP:NTK about three months ago. Could you take a look at my recent edits, which were reverted for no apparent reason? They all seemed reasonable to me, unless I am really misunderstanding something. 103.115.23.42 (talk) 01:44, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Your edits look pretty good, although some were pretty major changes. The editor who reverted you only said "discuss", so the best thing would be to get consensus on the talk page (WP:BRD). This page also has a history of sockpuppetry, so that may be why some editors are unusually wary about changes made there. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 09:13, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zolisa Memani, I'm not Chaotic Enby, but I'm a little worried you might be starting on the wrong foot here. Wikipedia doesn't have "profiles" like social media. There are userpages, but their goal is to just give a little friendly information about yourself, on the side as it were. Our main goal here is improving the encyclopedia, directly, or behind the scenes. If you're looking for somewhere to start editing, I'd suggest going to our task centre or your homepage. If you're ambitious, you can even draft an article based on reliable sources on a topic that meets our "notability" (inclusion) guidelines and submit for review.

Cheers, Cremastra 🎄 u — c 🎄 01:18, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! @Cremastra gave you a very good summary – if you want to start with writing a short introduction on your user page, that's fine, but the goal of Wikipedia is the encyclopedia part! Please note that user pages are also pretty different from encyclopedia pages: you can see the difference between User:Jimbo Wales and Jimmy Wales, for instance.

AI-generated drafts/articles

Hi! What might be the proper protocol for handling articles that pass through AfC but are AI-generated? I'm specifically looking at a trail of med articles that look good but aren't -- all by the same author. See 2-Aminoadipic-2-oxoadipic aciduria, for example, which (understandably) passed through AfC. Per the Wiki GPTzero tool, this has a 99.8% AI score. I'm of course thinking about this article and ones like it, but I'm also curious how to handle stuff like this moving forward. Also, feel free to point me somewhere else. :) Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 07:36, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Significa liberdade Thanks a lot for the question! Especially with medical articles, the best bet should be to double-check if the content matches the citations if you can, or ask more specialized editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. If all of these articles were created by the same person, it could be good to send them a human-written message on their talk page to explain them that this isn't the right way to go, and tell them about WP:MEDRS. If they continue after that, ANI and/or a mainspace pblock might be needed, as this is clearly disruptive.

More generally, if you encounter editors repeatedly adding AI-generated articles, the best is to warn them and firmly explain them that this is not recommended, and take further action if they continue (or have already been warned before). Regarding the articles themselves: if notability is there and they passed through AfC/were already moved from draftspace, there isn't much more to do than slap a few maintenance tags and/or cleanup anything that seems suspicious.

(Also noting that "completely AI-generated" is not an actual CSD criterion, and, with the latitude allowed in draftspace, Draft:Catecholaminergic Neurodysregulation Syndrome probably shouldn't have been deleted. Not a big deal, but good to know for the future!) Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 11:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quick reply! Given the content is highly specialized, I do not feel confident being able to go through them. As such, I have posted a request for review at WP Medicine.

I also appreciate the next step suggestions and have undeleted Draft:Catecholaminergic Neurodysregulation Syndrome. :) Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! I have a quick question/concern regarding the Wiki GPTzero tool, specifically looking at the article Bile acid synthesis disorders. When the current page is run through Wiki GPTzero tool, I'm told the AI-gen score is 99.8%. However, when running a historical version of the article (without any changes to the actual text except the addition of a maintenance tag), I'm told the AI-score is 1.7%. Do you know what might be causing this? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:18, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Significa liberdade Well, that's certainly weird. Apparently, the bug comes from the way GPTZero retrieves data from the historical version. Instead of the actual text, it seems to be scanning a completely different page about HTTP protocols, which appears to be the text of Web server directory index. My hypothesis for what is happening is that the URL parsing tools reads https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php and interprets it as the Wikipedia page index.php, which does redirect to Web server directory index and explains that inconsistent result.

Do you know if the copyvio was ever taken care of?

See The Baluchis (Balush) (ugh, that title). Author recently blocked for sockpuppetry. Saw in the edit history and was confused as it looked like it was removed prior to being properly addressed. jellyfish ✉ 05:48, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A bit of a complicated situation, I've asked on WP:DISCORD if someone better-versed in copyvio than myself could double-check it. It's tricky, because the page can't be WP:G5 as it was created before the accounts were blocked, and not WP:A10 as there is technically content, only it is likely copyvio. And there's still skeleton content (although A10-eligible) that's not copyvio, so it can't be bulk WP:G12 either. So ideally the copyvio should first be verified and removed before it can be A10.

Question from Opequonbob (20:02, 28 December 2024)

Hello.. I want to edit/provide information to an article. --Opequonbob (talk) 20:02, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The best way is to start by looking for reliable sources with the information you wish to add – ideally, something that can be accessed like an online newspaper, although a source that is paywalled or offline can work too. Things like blogs or social media posts, where there is no verification beyond the person writing it, are usually not considered reliable. Once you have a source, you can cite it in the article. Help:Referencing for beginners and/or Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/2 (depending on the wiki editor you use) will have more detailed information on how to do it!
