Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict

Hello, while I was patrolling the NPP, I discovered that a user created this draft article. Draft:Battle of Fort Port Tewfik This draft article is about the Yom Kippur War and violates the ECR. Also, you warned the same user only 2 days ago. [1] Do you have any ideas about this topic because I don't know the exact Arab–Israeli topic bans? Kajmer05 (talk) 15:28, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I warned them and reverted some other ECR violations. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:57, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I think they've violated it again. This article explains important details about Israel. [2] Kajmer05 (talk) 20:43, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a violation. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:20, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. Kajmer05 (talk) 21:21, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, does this now count as a violation? They've added links related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, [3][4] as before. [5] Kajmer05 (talk) 12:06, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for one week. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:14, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SFR, just to keep you in the loop, they continued to repeat the behaviour by creating an entirely new article in the topic area after the block was lifted, so I have given an indefinate block. I don't see any chance of it getting lifted without a TBAN at minimum. CoconutOctopus talk 11:25, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, and that's normally how I handled it too. I'm normally pretty open to an unblock once they make it clear that they understand why they were blocked and that they'll stay clear from the topic. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:48, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, although given how many warnings they've already had, I'm not the most hopeful. CoconutOctopus talk 11:49, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS appeal #108346

I've declined the ridiculous appeal, but in case there may in the future be a more reasonable appeal, can you let me know what the master account is (by email if necessary), or is that something which can't be revealed? JBW (talk) 22:24, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One of the Tishreen007 adjacent socks , maybe. Although, I may have just recognized their user page stuff from an IP I blocked around that time, which makes sense because I'm normally decent at noting masters when possible ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:34, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Active vandalism and sockpuppetry

Hi ScottishFinnishRadish, I believe this needs attention as it's actively ongoing. Kpop777 appears to be engaging in some very obvious sockpuppetry. ~2025-34261-18, who is also ~2025-34148-16, made an edit request here to reinstate edits by Kpop777[7][8][9]. His obsession is using the derogatory term "Sub-saharan African" as well as slavery related information. The first edit of ~2025-34261-18 was inserting "Sub-saharan African", which was also Kpop777's very first edit to Wikipedia.[10]

Currently he's sockpuppeting on the talk page of Black Japanese so heavily that he's confusing uninvolved people. In addition to the two above he also is using ~2025-34434-85 and ~2025-34162-00 which are both him. Something he likes to do is manufacture consent by pretending to talk to himself. Notice this edit here where he mentions himself "Kpop777, you could change the sentence" to which he replies on Kpop777 with "We both agree to say "Sub-Saharan African" instead of just African."[11]

This is actively ongoing (see American folk music) and the backlog on the sockpuppet board is so long that it seems to be backed up for weeks or almost a month. EkkoJinxZaun (talk) 14:20, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been on the recent WCNA safe space teams. Thanks you very very very much for doing the right things in advance in 2025 and speaking plainly in your Noticeboard comments. I'm too late to reply there; it's been archived. I appreciate also the extensive wise suggestions and commentary afterward by the people responding to you. (For future conferences, I'm inclined to fixate on (a) anyone who threatened violence or in-person trouble recently; (b) to pay attention to the probability that anyone attending has a weapon, which is partly a function of the jurisdiction the event is held in, and do bag checks if they might; (c) more extensively include ArbCom or stewards and also the local team in the security review. There is a limit to what we can do, but the local team should be able to make exclusion decisions. Would welcome your guidance.) Thank you very much for shining light to help our safety. -- econterms (talk) 19:44, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

Is this article PIA-restricted?

I didn’t see any indication of that on its talk page, but I wanted to check with you.

About GPT drafting and resulting workflows

Hi SFR,

On your userpage, you mention that you’ve been experimenting with LLM-assisted cowriting. This (and human-machine teamwork more generally) is a particular interest of mine (I’ve been cowriting stuff with GPT off and on since way before it was a household name), so I’m curious as how precisely you go about crafting the raw dredgings of our mutual stochastically feathered friend into the fairly well-written (although visibly unchaotic as to sourcing) products that you link. Could you expand on your process?

I’m particularly interested as to how much (if any) time and effort it saves compared to a traditional writing approach. I find it generally difficult to do large-scale content writing (e.g. taking a stub all the way to GA/FA) and a labor-saving method that allows me to concentrate on editing rather than writing paragraphs upon paragraphs from scratch would be right up my alley.

Looking forward to your reply, RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 22:00, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RadioactiveBoulevardier, I'll start with the second question first. how much (if any) time and effort it saves compared to a traditional writing approach: not a whole lot, but probably a bit overall. Because I go through and verify each citation and clear up any hallucinations or synth issues it adds a fair amount of time to the entire process. I also still read the sources entirely so I have an idea of what's going on and what the weight should be. That lack of trust in LLMs adds significantly to the time.

As for the process, I start off by gathering sources myself. With Shit flow diagram and Malacca dilemma I used WP:TWL extensively, as well as some googling. In the case of shit flow diagram, I knew there was a wide body of academic work on it, and with Malacca dilemma, I assumed there was, and was trying to avoid think-tank pieces which are often of dubious reliability and uncertain bias. Not that all my sources are perfect, but at least I got to make a judgement call on them. Once I have my sources I create a project in ChatGPT and give it some baseline instructions about only using facts verified in sources, not combining info from multiple sources to make a statement and other Wikipedia basics like that. I then upload all of my sources. For some reason, it likes PDFs better than plaintext or html/urls and does a better job of internalizing the info to the model when they're provided.

Once I've uploaded my sources, I have it review all the sources and pick out what is covered in multiple sources and provide a list of facts and what sources/pages/quotes it used. That helps with determining due weight and provides a good starting point for an outline.

Missing the sources, since it used some internal markup that didn't copy/paste

Definition and Significance

The Malacca dilemma describes China's strategic vulnerability due to its dependence on the Strait of Malacca, a crucial maritime chokepoint. About 80% of China’s oil imports and substantial amounts of its trade traverse this route, making it economically and strategically significant.

President Hu Jintao first coined the term "Malacca dilemma" in 2003, highlighting China's concerns about foreign powers potentially disrupting oil and trade flows through the Strait of Malacca.

China's Energy Dependency

China's rapid economic growth has significantly increased its dependency on imported energy, particularly crude oil and natural gas, sourced mainly from the Middle East and Africa. This dependency emphasizes the strategic importance of secure transportation routes like the Strait of Malacca.

By 2009, China’s oil imports accounted for over 50% of its total consumption. This dependency was projected to rise sharply, further intensifying China’s vulnerability.

Strategic Vulnerabilities

The Strait of Malacca, located between Malaysia and Indonesia, is one of the world's most congested and strategically critical maritime routes. Over 60,000 vessels transit the Strait annually, including a significant proportion of Chinese-bound shipping.

China fears potential blockades, piracy, maritime terrorism, and disruptions by foreign powers (especially the United States), which could severely damage its economic stability and national security.

China's Responses to the Malacca Dilemma 1. Diversifying Energy Sources and Routes

China has pursued a variety of initiatives to lessen its reliance on the Malacca Strait, including pipelines from Central Asia (Kazakhstan), Russia, and Myanmar.

Notably, the Sino-Myanmar pipeline enables China to transport crude oil and gas directly from the Indian Ocean, bypassing Malacca. Similarly, the Sino-Kazakh and Sino-Russian oil pipelines further diversify sources and routes, though their capacities still cover only part of China's total import needs.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a crucial alternative route, allowing China to import oil from the Middle East via Gwadar Port directly to Xinjiang, significantly reducing reliance on the Malacca Strait.

2. Building Strategic Reserves and Naval Capabilities

China has established strategic petroleum reserves to mitigate the impact of short-term disruptions in oil supply. The goal is to maintain sufficient reserves to buffer against potential blockades or disruptions.

Concurrently, China has accelerated naval modernization and expansion efforts to enhance its ability to protect maritime trade routes and assert presence in strategic waters. This includes building new naval bases and modernizing naval fleets to operate effectively in open seas.

3. Economic and Diplomatic Measures

China has adopted diplomatic and economic strategies, such as the "String of Pearls," developing strategic ports along the Indian Ocean to secure maritime trade routes and energy flows.

China's investments under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), particularly in infrastructure and port facilities, serve a dual purpose: economic growth and strategic maritime security, thus addressing both commercial interests and security concerns simultaneously.

Implications of China's Measures

Despite substantial investments and strategic initiatives, China continues to rely heavily on the Strait of Malacca, as alternative routes currently lack sufficient capacity to completely replace this critical chokepoint.

China's naval modernization and port developments have led to concerns among regional powers (especially India and the U.S.), potentially contributing to geopolitical tensions and an arms race in Asia.

After that I use it to generate a basic outline, using the facts from multiple sources to inform the model on what should be covered.

9. External Links

Relevant official websites and additional resources for further reading.

At this point, we're passing the most beneficial and time saving use for the LLM. From here on everything requires double checking and referring to the sources which starts eating away at time savings. I have the LLM generate a section at a time with a non-formatted source that just uses the name of the pdf with the page number of a quote. I then go through and verify against the source and once I'm satisfied with a piece of sourced prose I format the ref so I know it's been checked. I build out the article one section at a time this way until I have everything more or less where I want it. I do some copyediting along with the verification. There have been a few hallucinations, normally where the text is correct but not supported by what was provided as a source. Normally you just tell it that the ref doesn't match up and it provides the correct citation information.

The more common problem is it synthesizes from multiple sources, e.g. The concept of SFDs was formally introduced at the second Fecal Sludge Management Conference (FSM2) held in Durban, South Africa in 2012, emphasizing the importance of developing analytical tools that could simultaneously address technical sanitation issues and the underlying policy, regulatory, institutional, and financial challenges visible here. It's a reasonable conclusion to draw from the multiple sources used, but it isn't stated in any of them. This type of synth is a recurrent issue because that's what the LLMs are designed to do. Checking for that and making adjustments is probably the most time consuming part. With shit flow diagram I also provided some PDFs of studies where SFDs were used for an examples section. Although they didn't have the weight of the info with coverage in multiple sources it was an editorial decision to show their use in a few cases. There is some discussion at Talk:Shit flow diagram#LLM hallucination check about possible hallucinations.

Once I've gotten all the prose verified I generate the lead, instructing the model to summarize the article as it stands, rather than looking at any of the uploaded sources. After that I wikify things, add some cats (which the model is fairly adept at providing, but keep an eye out for hallucinated categories) and do some general tidying. Each of the steps does involve some back and forth and guidance. You can see the end result of Malacca dilemma is different than the initial outline. There was a lot of duplication across sections, for instance, so I wrapped everything into fewer sections.

That's the general gist of it. You end up with something that reads like LLM text to those with the experience to notice it, but the articles are in reasonably good shape. As I've said elsewhere, this isn't to create a good article, rather a WP:Good enough article. If you have any other questions, just let me know. I really believe we need to get a handle on positive uses for LLMs before Wikipedia cuts off most of another generation of potential editors, like what happened with failing to make a somewhat passable mobile experience for new editors. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:58, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I appreciate the level of detail you provided. I definitely agree that there’s a lot of untapped recruitment potential out there being wasted by the lack of a clear and viable framework for responsible machine-assisted editing. Ideally such a framework would be published to project space and relatively visible via linking and infoboxes. In particular, I’m surprised at the relative disinterest in both the pitfalls and opportunities of LLMs from WMF.
