Question about your AFD closure

As a matter of curiosity, why did you end up closing Where is Kate? as delete, instead of a merge. Especially with your comment "most people felt that, although there is significant coverage, the article contained more detail than was necessary, and a section in Catherine, Princess of Wales would be more appropriate." Esolo5002 (talk) 22:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Esolo5002. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I considered closing it as merge, but many !voters felt that the article's content was inappropriate and should be deleted, and merging would require the article's history to be preserved. It would also have to be a very selective merge, and since there already sections on the main article, it's moot now anyway. Essentially, I felt there wasn't a large benefit to merging it. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Help with improving my article

Hello Ingenuity,

I noticed that you're quite experienced with article creation on Wikipedia. I would appreciate it, if you could help me look over a biography I recently created on a filmmaker Dare Olaitan. I would just like to be sure it has an encyclopedic tone and that the references are reliable.

Thank you for your time. Aivrie (talk) 01:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

How do you tell if content is AI generated?

Hi, saw your edit and edit summary on Abortion debate, and now I'm curious: how can you tell if content is AI generated? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 02:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Mr Serjeant Buzfuz: there's not just one thing that can determine if content is AI-generated, unfortunately, but there are a few things I look for. ChatGPT never cites sources (it's not really capable of doing that), and it often generates a opening paragraph, followed by a list, and then a closing paragraph (like in this edit). It uses some phrases often, like "some key points to consider", "plays a crucial role", etc. Another giveaway is that their edit on abortion debate was only two minutes after their last edit, so they'd have to type pretty fast! — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 03:26, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Will keep an eye out for it. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 09:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

ExclusiveEditor

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am contacting you, seeing as how you have unblocked the user who I have noted above, to ask if it would be OK to remove the sock tag from their userpage? I ask since they are unblocked now, and I don't see a reason to keep it around at this point. Thank you. JeffSpaceman (talk) 15:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Done that now, thanks for pointing that out. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 15:22, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

About the EC ban

Hi, I acknowledge the mistake I made for the Hamas edit; however, I have not created invalid pages and want to ask for undoing the revoke, I am terribly sorry about the mistake. Thank you Justin L. 1230 (talk) 22:58, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

@Justin L. 1230: you gained the permission through doing hundreds of rapid, tiny edits that are disruptive and do not demonstrate familiarity with Wikipedia's policies. I will not be reinstating your permission. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 23:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Alright Justin L. 1230 (talk) 00:20, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

My bad its not that deep Justin L. 1230 (talk) 00:21, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Will I be able to regain the EC rights if I make legitimate 500 more edits Justin L. 1230 (talk) 02:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry

I only just noticed your warning me about my violation of 3RR here, and I want to sincerely apologize. You are completely right, I should have taken care not to violate the edit warring policy, and from here on out I will warn a user who is edit warring and stop reverting before I violate the rule per your reasoning. Sorry about this, thank you for calling me on it. JeffSpaceman (talk) 20:53, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Preservation

Fellow editor,

It has come to my attention that somebody is making a rather disrespectful attempt to remove the article on the reputable fellow Max Baker-Hytch. I humbly request your presence in the discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Max Baker-Hytch. to provide reasons and justification for keeping the article. We must thwart the nefarious plot to expunge this important article.--Pesclinomenosomlos (talk) 00:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

@Pesclinomenosomlos: there is no "nefarious plot" to remove the article. Stop posting this on peoples' talk pages or you will be blocked. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 00:28, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
