Hello, I'm Pbritti. An edit that you recently made to Internet geolocation seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. 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. Thanks.

Please refrain from making edits generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology) in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Internet geolocation. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. The text you added in this edit was essentially the same as the text you added in this edit. If you are going to expand the article, please start over from scratch without using LLMs; the LLM-generated text you added had many problems. Thank you.

I was unable to include it in the template above, but here is a link to a comparison of the two edits. As you can see, a substantial amount of the text is the same. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 00:33, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: The reason I reverted your edits is because the LLM introduced a variety of problems (such as a non-encyclopedic tone). If your original draft (the one that you wrote without LLM assistance, as you indicated on Pbritti's talk page) is still available, that is preferred to using LLMs. Even if you did review and "humanize" the content, fully human-written text with no LLM assistance is preferred. As WP:LLM states in reference to LLM-generated content: Even if such content has been heavily edited, alternatives that do not use machine-generated content are preferable.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. These sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on rumors and personal opinions. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Note in particular that marketing materials such as vendor blogs are not usable sources.
