Unsustained edits.

[edit]

Waging edit wars, and especially with unsustained claims goes against Wiki policies. Please refrain from doing such. 93.180.98.39 (talk) 09:02, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oo, that's pretty rich... coming... from... you. DVRTed (talk) 09:10, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Hello, thanks for helping out on Turkish. I reverted the article to your most recent edit, for some reason it's getting vandalized. Retlawthethird (talk) 19:35, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Retlawthethird: Thank you! Both Turk and Turkish were getting vandalized by different IPs, but I forgot to keep the latter on my watch-list. Turk is now protected and I doubt the other one needs any protection now. :) DVRTed (Talk) 19:43, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

[edit]

Hi DVRTed. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:06, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Changes made on the Tai Ping carpentry page

[edit]

Hi, I hope this message finds you well. I am hoping you could clarify the reasons for your adjustments on the wikipedia page that I was working on? Primarily the reason for reversing the version to a much earlier date. You cited 'Possible AI slop that violates WP:NPOV and COI editing', could you establish what are some the more notable errors that flare out? After further review I can notice some sections that do have some issues regarding NPOV, but could you clarify on the COI section a little more? I read the article but I still find myself a tad bit confused and hope that you can shed some light on this. Thanks. RayTaiPing (talk) 02:32, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @RayTaiPing. Sorry for taking quite a while to get back to you. First, to clarify my specific reasons for reverting your edits: most of your additions, such as "Tai Ping specializes in handcrafted carpets, employing techniques such as hand-tufting, hand-knotting, and sculpting handcrafted by skilled artisans using techniques honed over decades" are not written in a neutral tone. Additionally, instead of reliable sources, ~15 of the references you added are all different pages from the same website as the article subject. Second, you should disclose your COI following one or more of the methods outlined here: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#howtodisclose, and instead of making direct changes to the article, you should propose your changes on the article's talk page (see template {{Edit COI}}.)

For creating User:DVRTed/move-talk-section I award you this here barnstar. Don't feed it after midnight! Polygnotus (talk) 16:06, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
By the way I got like 2346787 script ideas and related technical plans that you may or may not be interested in. Polygnotus (talk) 16:07, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Polygnotus Thanks! Sure, I'd love to hear them!--except the ones that rely on external APIs (cough, cough AI-related). Also, did you see the fancy cards I just finished making here? — DVRTed (Talk) 16:14, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I was about to ask for a horizontal version.
So I was asking LLMs for feedback on articles with User:Polygnotus/Scripts/AI_Proofreader and then I realized it would be more efficient to just generate a bunch in advance so that people without API credits could work on them. User:Polygnotus/Scripts/Backlog.js. And then I thought, what if I ask an LLM if a source supports a claim, and if so which exact sentence(s) User:Polygnotus/Scripts/AI_Source_Verification. Polygnotus (talk) 16:17, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My User:Polygnotus/Scripts/AI Editsummary was kinda a dud in the sense that Claude believes that I remove vandalism when I vandalise an article, no matter how clearly I try to present the temporal relation. Polygnotus (talk) 16:34, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Polygnotus If you wrap them in a div with display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr;, along with setting something like |card_width=50%, it becomes horizontal; not as pretty as the default though.
User:Polygnotus/Scripts/AI Source Verification.js looks interesting. I'll play around with it (Gemini), although AIs seem to be notorious at hallucating content of a given URL. — DVRTed (Talk) 16:38, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah you have to triplecheck if it actually was able to reach the URL, because it will happily hallucinate whatever you want to hear if it can't. Probably best to have the script fetch the page and feed it to the LLM. Personally I prefer Claude, but it is difficult to compete with free. Polygnotus (talk) 16:40, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Polygnotus: User:Polygnotus/Scripts/AI_Editsummary.js#L-185 I think the results will be significantly better if you feed AI only the diff, like +added line, -removed line, and not the entire page; you can format it like that yourself or use mw:API:Compare. — DVRTed (Talk) 17:04, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Supreme Deliciousness

[edit]

Hi DVRTed. I'm not going to you on reply on Supreme Deliciousness' Talk page as that is likely to be used as an excuse for further kvetching and trolling but I just want to assure you that that was not an overreaction, in fact I worry that I may have been overgenerous. If I had been aware of how long they have been causing trouble on Wikipedia then I might have taken it straight to the noticeboards but I didn't check that until after I posted that warning. Check their contributions. Check their block log. This isn't some rando who just wandered in off the street and doesn't know what goes on around here. This shows clear and intentional trolling. They know Doug's circumstances and they thought that they would try to cause him trouble. I think it would be best if you removed your comment lest it be taken as encouragement. --DanielRigal (talk) 04:52, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"try to cause him trouble." ... dude, I don't even know how to reply to this. It was a suggestion, trying to help someone. I linked to some medical studies, I believe its a good suggestion to try fight cancer. Assume good faith. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 05:07, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No it wasn't. You know that. Stop! --DanielRigal (talk) 05:28, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
