Information icon Hello, I'm 331dot. An edit that you recently made seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is usually unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. 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. 331dot (talk) 20:55, 4 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

This includes talk page comments; we want to talk to you, not a computer algorithm. 331dot (talk) 20:55, 4 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

No, I just use AI for translation sometimes as I am not a native speaker. And the sources are not made up, as you will notice by following the links provided.
By the way: I haven't edited the article at all, just used the disussion for showing discepancies between the year of birth as it was in the article when I started the discussion (1959) with other events in the persons life that are verified by external sources like this one: https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:zs25z924q
It seems to me, that you haven't even read the discussion, because you seem to ignore the attacks from that anonymous account against me making up stuff and accusations against me about marriage, divorce and whatever - I've never been married. HawkeyeCGN (talk) 21:33, 4 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
It is true I haven't analyzed your situation yet. We just want to hear it from you without using any AI tools. Your English seems fine to me; we do not expect perfect grammar and spelling on talk pages. 331dot (talk) 21:41, 4 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I always feel a little insecure when writing in English after not using the langiage active for longer periods. Especially on a topic like the year of birth of a living person. HawkeyeCGN (talk) 21:47, 4 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
if you don't feel comfortable getting the vernacular or grammar right, you can put it on the talk page, and someone who has more language familiarity can assist. in talk pages, it's not a huge issues, as long as you can be understood and understand. -- Aunva6talk - contribs 22:17, 4 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
I-generierte Inhalte (Artikel und Kommentare) sind auf der englischsprachigen Wikipedia (USA) unerwünscht und werden aktiv bekämpft, wobei der Fokus auf der Entfernung von fehlerhaften oder unzuverlässigen Beiträgen liegt.
Hier sind die wichtigsten Punkte zur aktuellen Policy (Stand Februar/März 2026):
Kein direktes "Copy & Paste": Das direkte Einfügen von Texten aus KI-Chatbots (wie ChatGPT) in Artikel oder Diskussionsseiten ist untersagt.
Schnelllöschverfahren (G15): Artikel, die eindeutig als KI-generiert identifiziert wurden (oft erkennbar an "Halluzinationen" oder erfundenen Quellen), können über das "Speedy Deletion"-Verfahren (schnelle Löschung) sofort entfernt werden.
Fokus auf Verifizierbarkeit: Wikipedia-Editoren müssen für alle Beiträge geradestehen. Da KI-Texte häufig Fakten erfinden (Halluzinationen), gelten sie als Verstoß gegen die Kernprinzipien der Überprüfbarkeit und Neutralität.
WikiProject AI Cleanup: Es gibt ein spezielles Team von Freiwilligen (WikiProject AI Cleanup), das aktiv nach KI-generierten Inhalten sucht und diese entfernt.
Unterschied zur deutschen Wikipedia: Während die deutschsprachige Wikipedia im Februar 2026 ein explizites, generelles Verbot für KI-Texte (außer in wenigen Ausnahmen wie Grammatikprüfung) beschlossen hat, setzt die englische Wikipedia auf die Durchsetzung ihrer bestehenden Regeln (Verifizierbarkeit) und das Löschen von "KI-Müll".
Fazit: It has been proven to be AI and had to be deleted according to Wikipedia's rules. ~2026-14117-90 (talk) 13:56, 5 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
