Suggested tweak to Veracity tool report wording



Small suggestion: the tool now outputs the following text {{green|This table checks 4 passages from .... }}. I always change it to read {{blue|This table lists 4 random passages from .... }}. (a) added word "random"; (b) change "checks" to "lists" since that seems more precise especially when the table is initially created. No big deal, but if you think these changes would clarify things for users, consider using these changes. Great tool!!! Noleander (talk) 19:42, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
:Good ideas, Noleander! I've updated the text. I see you're working on the Nile ↗ next. Another ambitious project - good luck! Anne drew ↗ (talk · contribs ↗) 01:01, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

LLM guideline



Hi, can I ask for your thoughts on Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models/March 2026 proposal ↗? There's some discussion on its talk and at WT:AIC#AI-bot on ANI ↗ Kowal2701 (talk, contribs ↗) 17:14, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Yet another suggestion for Veracity tool



Loving Veracity tool. Using it now at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Splatoon_3:_Side_Order/archive1#Source_review_by_Noleander ↗. The "Status" column is key: it is where I'm recording pass/fail as I go thru the rows. I use green/red for the pass/fail (in addition to changing "?" text to pass/fail). All good: but the default value in that column is '''{{red|?}} ''' ... so the red color means "unknown" as well as "Fail". Suggestion: change the default "?" color to blue, black, or grey, ... (anything other than red) e.g.
Just a thought. Noleander (talk) 23:47, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
:Hey {{u|Noleander}}, nice to hear from you! I see your point. The options you provided could work, but some of them don't stand out in the same way, and {{code|<nowiki>'''{{blue|?}}'''</nowiki>}} adds a bit of wikitext clutter which I'd like to avoid. What about an hourglass emoji (⏳), indicating a pending status? Anne drew ↗ (talk · contribs ↗) 03:09, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
::Hourglass is fine ... the goal is to avoid the red coloration. Noleander (talk) 03:37, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Source verification



Hi @Anne drew, great job developing the Veracity script, it's great to see it widely used. U:Polygnotus and I built a script for verifying sources automatically. I asked a few reviewers whether it would useful for GAR/FAR and one of them told me about your script - that's how I learned about it.

I'm curious about your plans for Veracity. Have you considered or would you like to add automated checks? I've been thinking about how the two tools might complement each other.

One thing I'm still unsure about: would this kind of check work better as an automated bot triggered by nominations or as a tool reviewers invoke themselves? Alaexis<sub>¿question? ↗</sub> 09:03, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Alaexis}}, thanks for reaching out. I don't plan to incorporate AI into Veracity directly, but I do want it to be extensible. Automated source checking seems better suited to a separate tool that consumes Veracity's output, or you're welcome to fork Veracity since it's open source.
:I think AI-assisted verification could be useful for flagging citations that '''don't''' support their claims. I'm more cautious about the other direction: "supported" verdicts risk becoming a green light to skip manual checks. The docs acknowledge the tool misses a meaningful share of unsupported citations, and that the free option underperforms commercial models, so reviewers leaning on it could let real problems through. This has come up before ↗, and my thinking is largely the same.
:On whether this should be a bot or a reviewer-invoked tool, I'd recommend the latter. The bot approval process ↗ is challenging enough, and anything involving AI will face significant additional opposition. Enwiki is generally quite opposed to AI in content work, so I'd expect a bot proposal to draw protracted debate.
:That said, I'd be interested to see how the tool develops. I'm happy to help adjust Veracity to make integration easier on your end - let me know if you have any ideas for this. Anne drew ↗ (talk · contribs ↗) 22:04, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you today for your contributions to Bridge ↗, - a broad topic, in team work! My father loved bridges, and I wrote a few articles with that in mind (Empress Elisabeth Bridge ↗, adding to Chain bridge ↗ and Müngsten Bridge ↗, the latter for childhood memory), and also thinking of bridges between people. - I brought two bios to the same page ↗, Christian Schwarz-Schilling ↗ and Bill Ramsey ↗ whose regular ''Swingtime'' I used to hear in the car driving to choir rehearsals. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:11, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
