25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm LWG. An edit that you recently made 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, or ask your questions at the Teahouse ↗, a friendly place for new users. ''Hi, it looks like you are using an AI tool to generate new ledes for articles, so I wanted to make you aware of WP:AIARTICLE ↗: the use of AI to generate or modify content on Wikipedia is prohibited, except for a few specific exceptions, which does not include rewriting ledes. Please stop immediately, as any AI-generate ledes you write will just have to be reverted, and the use of AI damages trust in your other contributions as well.''{{PAGENAME}} ↗<!-- Template:uw-ai1 --> -- LWG <sup>talk</sup> ↗ <sup>(VOPOV)</sup> 16:20, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
:I've reverted a few of the most problematic examples, and will be looking through more when I have time, but it would be helpful and time-saving for you to go back and self-revert any lead rewrites where AI was used, to ensure compliance with WP:AIARTICLE ↗. -- LWG <sup>talk</sup> ↗ <sup>(VOPOV)</sup> 20:32, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
:Well, I tried to read the summaries before hitting publish changes because I felt some genuinely summarize the article, but yeah I get what you mean. So just to be more helpful, I rv'd all of them. Maybe in the future somebody wants to restore them while at the same time improving it, or maybe not. AdaCiccone (talk) 01:37, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

GA review of Indonesia ↗?


Hey, I notice you have Indonesia ↗ nominated for GA, and it's been waiting for a reviewer for over 2 months. I just posted the Dam ↗ article for a GA review. These two articles are both fairly large (though Dam is larger: 9,200 prose words vs 7,800 for Indonsesia). Are you interested in swapping GA reviews? Of course, I want a thorough, quality GA review, to prepare Dam for a FA nomination ... so a cursory quid-pro-quo review is not what I'm looking for (I know some editors don't like swapping GA reviews, but it is not prohibited, provided that the reviews are thorough and proper). Schedule: I'm hoping to have the reviews done within 7 to 10 days after starting, so I can move forward with the FA ↗ nomination. In any case, good luck with your nomination! Noleander (talk) 13:23, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

: Hi there {{u|Noleander}}. Thanks for the offer but I'm sorry I personally prefer that a reviewer picks it up through a normal/usual GA process/queue. Good luck on your nom too :) AdaCiccone (talk) 05:36, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

AI cleanup at Elizabeth Debicki ↗


Hi AdaCiccone, in {{diff2|1357876543|this edit}}, you indicated that you removed LLM signs from Elizabeth Debicki ↗. Did you also check that the AI-generated content did not contain hallucinations, original research, or other claims not verified by the sources? <span style="font-variant:small-caps;border-radius:9em;background:#E0E8E0; color:#1a4c39; padding:4px;">Wracking</span>&nbsp;<sup>talk!</sup> 07:51, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
: Hi there. I looked for the sources on the web myself, so I'm certain all of the refs are genuine and real (neither fictional nor hallucinated). The contents itself in that section are also aligned with the sources. I've used AI only for copy-editing and while doing that, I've been careful and made sure it doesn't introduce anything new beyond what the sources say. But please let met know if you still find anything problematic, I'll look at that section again. AdaCiccone (talk) 08:49, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Photograph of Prince Andrew, Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell ↗ sourcing


Hello, when you were reviewing the article for GA status, you took issue with the sourcing on a particular sentence. I have proposed re-introducing it with what I believe to be more adequate sourcing. I would love to hear feedback from you specifically since you were the one who took issue with it. The details are on the article's talk page. Thank you, Cornerstone1949 (talk) 02:53, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
: Okay, I'll take a look. AdaCiccone (talk) 04:38, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
