Question
[edit]Hi. Having just run into you at a DYK, and then looked at your user page, I was curious what your thoughts might be about a couple of issues. 1, as you are a teacher, are you concerned that when student submit papers to you, it may be difficult to know if AI wrote it? 2, as you have edited wp a great deal, do you see somehow people using AI to create their entries on wikipedia? Just curious. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:B988:8BEF:5DBE:59F6 (talk) 04:11, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yes - it is a common topic of discussion among teachers.
- I don't do recent changes/new pages patrol these days, so I don't see it, but I am sure it happens. I have seen it a a bit from my students, although not much as they primarily do translations; but last semester we had some incidents of AI hallucinations being added to Wikivoyage (which is part of my Fall teaching). I am sure there are many more examples around the Wiki, but generally, AI hallucinations can be easily spotted.
- I use it myself to polish the prose (at that level, AI is just a refined spellchecker...), craft DYK hooks, as well as article leads (of course, I proofread and fact check all AI output). All tools are good, if used responsibly.

DYK for Sports fandom
[edit]On 17 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sports fandom, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that most sports fans are male, and class distinctions also influence which sports people follow? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sports fandom. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sports fandom), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
Roco Kingdom
[edit]I improved Draft:Roco Kingdom (game) where I could. There is still a section about in-game characters maybe another editor in the future can review. The computer I use can no longer fully access the archived sources due to software incompatibility. Vacosea (talk) 00:26, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Vacosea Thanks, this is much appreciated! Could you find anything about reception of the franchise? Is there any reliable source saying these games/franchise/series are popular, important, etc.? I would also suggest adding translated title (English) to the references (using the translated title parameter - keeping the Chinese title but enhancing it with a translation en readers could understand).

[edit]On 19 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Dedalus Book of Polish Fantasy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Debby Kerner & Ernie Rettino
[edit]Given your look at Debby Kerner & Ernie Rettino, I would also suggest scoping out Hi-Tops (film). I still argue DK&ER are probably notable but I couldn't find much on the film. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:28, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
DYK for W leju po bombie
[edit]On 21 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article W leju po bombie, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Andrzej Sapkowski, the creator of The Witcher, described his short story W leju po bombie as the only one of his works that can be classified as science fiction?
