Participation in Women in Red

edit

Hi there, Flyingphoenixchips. I see you have removed the WiR template from your user page and have deleted the invitation for April here. As a result, I have removed your name from our mailing list so that you will no longer be bothered with future notifications. Thanks anyway for your earlier interest in the project and all the best for editing in other spheres.--Ipigott (talk) 08:59, 30 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hey @Ipigott I actually was organizing my wikipedia userpage so had made those recent edits. I will still be very much in the Women in red community at wikipedia. I strongly continue to feel this is an extremely important project that needs more editors. Best, Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 21:14, 30 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Would you like to continue receiving our monthlu newsletters? If so, I can re-insert your name on our mailing list.--Ipigott (talk) 07:53, 31 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

April 2026

edit

Hey Flyingphoenixchips, excellent work on Wikipedia! @Kelob2678 pointed out that you may use AI in your work. To which you replied, "I used a script to organize bare references, yes. [I] did not use [it] for writing." It seems that text from your article was likely AI-generated, and others appear to have AI generation with human review. Since you are a native speaker of English from your WP:Babel user template. I wanted to let you know that I left you some AI-generated tags. If you think this is wrong, let me know. CostalCal (talk) 02:29, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi @CostalCal, thanks for pointing this out. So what I had been doing is creating self written articles on local drive with annotations with specific references, and use a python script to organise it all and push edits onto my wikipedia account. The script does use two agents to format the paper and organise the references. Was not quite sure, if this would fall under No LLM guidelines of wikipedia. will have a look at the tags you made, and improve it accordingly. Thanks again, much appreciated Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 03:51, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for clarifying. However, under WP:AI, "When exploring AI techniques and systems, the community consensus is to prefer human decisions over machine-generated outcomes until the implications are better understood." Using LLM for anything on Wikipedia is a mistake I once made: Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup/Noticeboard/Archive 2#Mass AI use by CostalCal. Using a Python script for editing isn't allowed if you haven't gotten approval from the WP:Bot Approvals Group. CostalCal (talk) 04:32, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Got it, thanks. It was just a bit annoying to keep formatting the references and things in wikitext over and over, so I was tempted to automate it. I'll try doing things myself from now on and will try to get it approved. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 13:01, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
That fails to explain the bucketloads of AISIGNS in your edits. Either your agents are doing something far beyond what you have told them to do or there is some information we are not privy to here. Fermiboson (talk) 13:16, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
The script instructs the agents to convert a markdown I had written to wikitext and pushed edits in bulk. The thing is I structured the markdown with references marked as "$", and the agents handled formatting and pushing those. I did test and verify that the references were correct after each run, but I am not sure why AI signs are showing up. I hadn't looked at the specific contents until @CostalCal pointed out. Yes, it does seem to me that the conversion was altering sentence structure beyond what I caught. I apologize for that. I will clean up the affected articles manually and stop using this method going forward. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 13:24, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yaithing Konu AfD

edit

Hi @Flyingphoenixchips. I've closed the Yaithing Konu AfD. This was open for a number of weeks with varying opinions from different editors. I genuinely don't know why a canvassing banner was applied, as I didn't see any canvassing from any participants, including yourself. This was a pretty clear notability versus editorial disagreement. I don't think either a keep or merge/redirect could have been performed here without serious disagreement taken from the opposing side, so no consensus made the most sense. I definitely recommend opening a merge proposal.

If you feel this was a WP:BADNAC, I will vacate the close. No WP:DRV required. I felt able to perform the close as, despite the disagreement in the discussion, the close was straightforward. It was also requested by one of the participants. I don't usually leave talk page messages for AfD closes I do, but I felt I should explain this one due to the multiple factors involved.

Courtesy pinging @Star Mississippi so they are aware. 11WB (talk) 22:38, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the ping.
I think this is a perfectly fine NAC, @11WB. There wasn't a consensus, nor was there interest in participating further. You identified that in the same way I would have and I suspect the same is true for most admins. Language access is clearly a factor. Since merge now lives at AfD, I don't know if opening one right now makes sense: editor hat, not admin hat. This is just my opinion. Maybe see if a Talk page discussion helps first @Flyingphoenixchips? Star Mississippi 01:28, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
That's true. Following PAM would result in an AfD right after an AfD. Technically allowed, but it could look WP:POINTy (attempting to push through a consensus for something). Fully concur with the talk page discussion suggestion. That would definitely be the best way forward! 11WB (talk) 01:33, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I've updated the close statement per the above. 11WB (talk) 01:36, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
I think that's a good outcome, both for now and for someone who revisits the article down the road. Star Mississippi 02:16, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hey thanks for letting me know. I am kind of worked up this week, so might not get time to look into that article further. But I shall see and bring it up on the talk page, as I see fit. Thanks again Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 14:43, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Extending a hand to help in articles regarding South Asia and Northeast India

Dear Mr. @Flyingphoenixchips:, I've read your statement on your profile regarding extending a hand and further contact for those that are interested in working in articles about Northeast India, Mizo culture and other less known articles of the region. I can help regarding culture, languages, mythology and whatever topic crosses one or all three. Regards, KHR FolkMyth (talk) 20:53, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello @KHR FolkMyth, great to make your acquaintance as well. Thanks for reaching out. We could definitely work together on these topics. I can also help with translations of Mizo-language articles if that would be useful for the work. Looking forward to collaborating. Best, Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 22:11, 25 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Temporary account IP viewer granted

edit
The temporary account IP viewer logo, composed of the Wikipedia globe with a user and an IP address

Hello, Flyingphoenixchips. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

  • You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
  • Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

  • When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
  • Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
  • Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:30, 5 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Draft:Dipanjan Roy

edit

Hi Flyingphoenixchips. Thank you for reviewing my draft. Dipanjan Roy meets criteria 3 of WP:PROF. He is a fellow of National Academy of Sciences, India. I have used the primary sources only for biographical facts, just his career appointments and educational background, consistent with WP:PRIMARY. If you feel that the article relies a lot on primary sources I can take some information out. Can you please take a look again when you have time? HRShami (talk) 05:14, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yes I understood that, but the issue I had was with primary sources. What you did in the article was basically original synthesis of his research work. He is notable no doubt of it, but either you should find better sources for bulk of the content or remove them @HRShami. See Wikipedia:No original research Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 05:18, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
The faculty pages are fine, I am just a bit hesitant with using his peer reviewed publications directly. There should be faculty websites/webpages of his lab that list his research work I suppose, or even press releases from the university? @HRShami Feel free to submit it again, after making these changes Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 05:24, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Understood. The first line of the research felt like WP:OR. I have changed the reference to his website where the same information can be confirmed without any synthesis. Is it okay to resubmit it now? HRShami (talk) 10:30, 7 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hey @HRShami it looks good now. You can resubmit it, and I should be able to approve it. Also just fyi, it would be better to not cite his individual research papers under career. Maybe use a faculty page to talk about his field of work? Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 16:48, 7 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
The papers I have cited are not written by him. They are papers that have cited his work. I have resubmitted the article. Thanks for your help with this. HRShami (talk) 05:42, 8 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I have accepted the same @HRShami. Happy editing Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 18:46, 9 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Gary McAvoy Page Resubmission

edit

Hi Flyingphoenixchips,

Thank you for your review of my submission on author Gary McAvoy. Per your response, I’ve removed the citations for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. I've kept the citation for the Guardian since that article specifically cites Mr. McAvoy as the author of the book. I’ve also added an additional reference for a prominent Publishers Weekly review of his work.

I hope these changes are sufficient for acceptance.

Thanks! Rsamborn (talk) 04:09, 14 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Flyingphoenixchips,
First, I hope this is the correct place to respond. I couldn't find where to reply directly to your most recent comment. I just uploaded changes for my submission on author Gary McAvoy. I assure you that I did not use an LLM to write the original draft and I am quite opposed to using LLMs. I'm also not quite sure how it would be possible in this case, given the content. If you're referring to my use of em dashes, I've been using them for decades. It's a shame that such a valuable grammatical tool has automatically become associated with LLM usage. In any event, I've deleted them and made a few other small edits. I've also removed the bibliography per your request.
I hope these changes meet your requests and are sufficient for acceptance of the article.
Thanks and have a nice weekend. Rsamborn (talk) 16:50, 23 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hey @Rsamborn, I suspected LLM generation because of the red link categories tags, and the structure in which the wikitext is written, which is characteristic of LLM generation. I use em dash often myself, and won't say that would be the sole reason for suspecting LLM usage. Feel free to resubmit, the subject is notable. Assuming good faith, that LLM wasn't used I shall accept the same. Apologies, if my apprehensions were wrong Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:02, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi Flyingphoenixchips, thanks for the quick reply. I assure you that I did not use an LLM at all and truthfully didn't even know it was possible to do so for a Wikipedia page (not that I would anyway). For the structure and red link categories, I merely copied the structure and format from other pages on Wikipedia. Thanks so much. Please let me know if you require any other edits. Rsamborn (talk) 14:33, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi Flyingphoenixchips, another reviewer declined my submission, also citing "obvious signs of LLM usage." I don't know how else I can stress that I did not use an LLM to generate this article. It doesn't even seem possible to me. I did notice some broken links, and I removed those. I don't know what else to do. The article is very short and there's nothing in it that looks AI-generated, let alone obvious (because it wasn't AI generated). I'm hoping you can help or offer some guidance on what I can do. Thank you very much. Rsamborn (talk) 21:40, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Rsamborn, a few quick suggestions. Try rewriting the lead in a more casual tone since phrases like "distributes internationally with translations available in French, German, and Spanish" read like a press release. Maybe this is why other editors feel that it is AI generated. Also the "Military service" section repeats what is already in "Early life" so consider merging them. Most importantly, adding a Kirkus or Publishers Weekly editorial review of the fiction would go a long way toward establishing notability. Please Go ahead and resubmit when ready. If it gets declined again, consider posting at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Help desk where experienced editors can give you direct guidance or re-review the article (noting your statement about LLM use), or try Wikipedia:Teahouse which is specifically for newer editors who need support. Good luck! Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 01:57, 31 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Regarding Youtube Citions In KDA

edit

There are no policies on Wikipedia where there is an automatic ban on the use of YouTube sources. According to WP, self-published sources may be used for making uncontroversial factual claims about the source itself, several of the cited videos are from the news organizations or directly from the KDA press conferences and are being used only for the purpose of verifying facts rather than making any analysis or controversial claims WP. WP also mentions that reliability of information is based on the uploader and context; therefore, the videos uploaded by organizations such as ThePrint, News18 Urdu, or any other reliable local media house cannot be considered unreliable simply because they are uploaded on YouTube. Independent secondary sources such as The Indian Express, The Hindu, Daily Excelsior, etc., have also been used for validating general claims in the article Sarim Wani (talk) 16:56, 19 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Indian TV media are notorious for spreading misinformation, and that is why I tagged it as such. However thanks for working on it, I have accepted the same. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:44, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Essay piece?

edit

Sorry if I missed an important detail but I don't see how my submission read like an essay or opinion peace. I sourced everything as best I could via official documents uploaded by the boxing federation of India as well as various big news sources with direct interviews with the subject in question. Could you help me maybe expand upon what exactly you thought was opinionated about the article? Boxstodian2 (talk) 11:18, 27 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I had left a comment on the article as well, but I am elaborating on the same herein. Most of the article reads as a promotional piece backed only with non independent sources. Particularly phrases like "humble working class family," "this initially left the family discouraged, but still determined," and "winning over 1,000s of other young men" are storytelling, not WP:NPOV reporting. It builds a redemption arc (father's sacrifice, malnutrition, growth spurt, avenging a past loss) instead of stating facts plainly as an encyclopaedia must. There is also unsourced color (mimicking mitts with bare hands, coaches' remarks about his height) and WP:PEACOCK language ("immense success," "massive upset," "dominating"). Much of it is fight-by-fight blow-by-blow that belongs in match reports, not a biography, which trips WP:NOTNEWS and WP:PROSE. Feel free to add some more references and fix the language. I will let another reviewer take a look if you were to resubmit Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 23:14, 30 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
