AI generated article template documentation

Regarding your comment on Template:AI-generated/doc, I'd like to remind you of a few things.

1. I see you've listed specific percentages (e.g. 92%) for estimations. However, OpenAI's own detector, which is linked, uses broad categories like "very unlikely", "unclear if it is", or "likely". I'm assuming you used writer.com's detector for those; from my own experimentation that's inferior to OpenAI's detector in accuracy.
2. It's surprisingly easy to fool the detector through minor edits to the GPT output. The detector is also pretty much useless for non-prose text.
3. From my own experimentation I've found that machine-translated content, regardless of whether written by human or GPT, tends to yield "unclear" on the detector, which I assume is probably intentional.
4. GPT-4 is now a thing (albeit something you either have to buy yourself for $20 or acquire through Bing's waitlist), and since OpenAI's own detector is designed for GPT-3, GPT-4 output fools it, at least for the time being. I'm pretty sure I've heard of GPT-4 having baked-in flag tokens in order to make future detection easier, though.
5. In addition to "in conclusion...", some other common dead giveaways include "as X, ...", "it is important...", and "firstly, secondly, thirdly..." (especially in a Wikipedia context). These are ubiquitous on GPT-3, but can also be found on GPT-4. However, it's very easy for people to realize this and revise the output to obfuscate these...

Draft:Super Sema

I made a draft for Draft:Super Sema. How do I submit it for review? 97.80.178.124 (talk) 00:51, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Wet fish in your snout

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. I've never trouted anyone before. But on an April Fools' edition with a typo approved by the E-in-C writer himself ... I can't help myself.

But seriously, The Signpost draft is ready for final review. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:53, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

The Signpost: 03 April 2023

• From the editor: Some long-overdue retractions

• News and notes: Sounding out, a universal code of conduct, and dealing with AI

• In the media: Twiddling Wikipedia during an online contest, and other news

• Arbitration report: "World War II and the history of Jews in Poland" case is ongoing

• Featured content: Hail, poetry! Thou heav'n-born maid

• Recent research: Language bias: Wikipedia captures at least the "silhouette of the elephant", unlike ChatGPT

Tech News: 2023-14

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The system for automatically creating categories for the Babel extension has had several important changes and fixes. One of them allows you to insert templates for automatic category descriptions on creation, allowing you to categorize the new categories. [8][9][10][11][12]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 April. It will be on all wikis from 6 April (calendar).
• Some older Web browsers will stop being able to use JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis from this week. This mainly affects users of Internet Explorer 11. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can try to upgrade to a newer version. [13]
• The deprecated jquery.hoverIntent module has been removed. This module could be used by gadgets and user scripts, to create an artificial delay in how JavaScript responds to a hover event. Gadgets and user scripts should now use jQuery hover() or on() instead. Examples can be found in the migration guide. [14]
• Some of the links in Special:SpecialPages will be re-arranged. There will be a clearer separation between links that relate to all users, and links related to your own user account. [15]
• You will be able to hide the Reply button in archived discussion pages with a new __ARCHIVEDTALK__ magic word. There will also be a new .mw-archivedtalk CSS class for hiding the Reply button in individual sections on a page. [16][17][18]

Future changes

• The Vega software that creates data visualizations in pages, such as graphs, will be upgraded to the newest version in the future. Graphs that still use the very old version 1.5 syntax may stop working properly. Most existing uses have been found and updated, but you can help to check, and to update any local documentation. Examples of how to find and fix these graphs are available.

list of Joe Biden gaffes

your input at the deletion discussion was helpful. the reason for the awful name was that the media tends to dismiss these claims as "gaffes" which makes it harder to write the article, and had i titled it "veracity of statements made by Joe Biden", it would've been summarily deleted as an attack page. but your criticism is helpful and welcome. i have incorporated some material into one of the two articles suggested at the deletion discussion, and i have requested a userfying of the deleted material so more could be incorporated into them. again thanks for your input. :) .usarnamechoice (talk) 02:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

@.usarnamechoice: Oh, politics articles are the worst, aren't they? Maybe some day I will again develop the taste for pain required to participate in that stuff... happy editing, preferably in a saner zone. jp×g 09:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Publishing this weekend

Hi, just checking in to see if you plan to be the publisher for The Signpost on Sunday, or do you want me to be on standby to do it? ☆ Bri (talk) 15:31, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Last night my wallet fell out of my pocket (despite this having never happened in the couple decades I have carried a wallet on the daily), then on the way home a pop can busted in my laptop, attempting to murder both my (newly repaired) laptop and DSLR. Luckily, my laptop is old enough that I could actually take it apart and clean the components -- it boots and runs now -- but the screen is somewhat injured and needs some time for the liquid to evaporate.

I think I will be able to publish, but given the current streak of luck, I may be struck by a meteorite and killed at any moment, so it would probably be wise for someone else to be present. Lol. jp×g 19:15, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

It seems to be coming together nicely now. Several features are probably ready for marking "approved". ☆ Bri (talk) 22:04, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Sorry about your recent travel troubles. If you want to offload to me, I can publish after you do the final editing and approvals. I'll be at home to do it after 1800 Pacific Time on Sunday. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:32, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

User:JPxG/current-switcher is broken

Hey buddy. Thanks for making User:JPxG/current-switcher. It appears to be broken. Visiting a contribs page such as this one gives 60 TypeErrors in the JavaScript console. Feel free to fix if and when you are able. I find this script useful. Thank you :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:03, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

@Novem Linguae: Still doing it? I can try and whip up a patch fi it's still an issue. jp×g 09:57, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

@JPxG. Tried it just now. Was able to reproduce. There's 63 "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'innerHTML')" and 3 "TypeError: allcount[asdf].getElementsByClassName is not a function". Let me know if you can't reproduce. Should be trivial to reproduce assuming it isn't skin-specific or something. –Novem Linguae (talk) 10:01, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

I will keep it in mind for tomorrow when I need to pad out my contribs with a bunch of random stuff right before I transclude my RfA so nobody sees that I fixed a typo on Israel or whatever. jp×g 10:03, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Muhammad Saeed Sayf

Hi sources are not that easy to find because Google does not search well in Arabic, and many Arab people have similar or identical names. I first searched by going to the ar.wiki article and using the subject’s name as a search term. Then I saw that his most famous work was “شارع الشاحنات” so searched again with that plus his name to find a bit more. Et voilà! Mccapra (talk) 05:33, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

@Mccapra: Ah, the old transwiki trick. Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of that. Good looking out -- I thought it was a goner for sure. :) jp×g 05:55, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Don't do this again

It's incredible I have to say this to someone with 90000 edits here, but spamming pings to people who oppose your viewpoint is the apex of obnoxiousness. Knock it off. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 13:44, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

@David Fuchs: I totally get why you might be annoyed, and I'm sorry if my pinging came across as obnoxious. But let me explain: earlier in the discussion, someone had "pinged all participants" and then only included a dozen or so, and a couple people were concerned that editors were being selectively pinged in a way that influenced the discussion's outcome. So I decided to ping everyone at the whole AfD, even though it ended up being like 70 people. I just wanted to make sure nobody was left out and avoid canvassing concerns. I understand that it might have been stupid, but I hope you can see where I was coming from. I didn't mean to be a pain in the ass, and I apologize if that's what happened. I'll try to be more mindful in the future. jp×g 04:07, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Last week, Community Tech released the first update for providing better diffs, the #1 request in the 2022 Community Wishlist Survey. This update adds legends and tooltips to inline diffs so that users unfamiliar with the blue and yellow highlights can better understand the type of edits made.
• When you close an image that is displayed via MediaViewer, it will now return to the wiki page instead of going back in your browser history. This feature request was voted #65 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [41]
• The SyntaxHighlight extension now supports wikitext as a selected language. Old alternatives that were used to highlight wikitext, such as html5, moin, and html+handlebars, can now be replaced. [42]
• Preloading text to new pages/sections now supports preloading from localized MediaWiki interface messages. Here is an example at the Czech Wikipedia that uses preload=MediaWiki:July. [43]

Problems

• Graph Extension update: Foundation developers have completed upgrading the visualization software to Vega5. Existing community graphs based on Vega2 are no longer compatible. Communities need to update local graphs and templates, and shared lua modules like de:Modul:Graph. The Vega Porting guide provides the most comprehensive detail on migration from Vega2 and here is an example migration. Vega5 has currently just been enabled on mediawiki.org to provide a test environment for communities. [44]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 May. It will be on all wikis from 11 May (calendar).
• Until now, all new OAuth apps went through manual review. Starting this week, apps using identification-only or basic authorizations will not require review. [45]

Future changes

• During the next year, MediaWiki will stop using IP addresses to identify logged-out users, and will start automatically assigning unique temporary usernames. Read more at IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Updates. You can join the discussion about the format of the temporary usernames. [46]
• There will be an A/B test on 10 Wikipedias where the Vector 2022 skin is the default skin. Half of logged-in desktop users will see an interface where the different parts of the page are more clearly separated. You can read more. [47][48]
• jquery.tipsy will be removed from the MediaWiki core. This will affect some user scripts. Many lines with .tipsy( can be commented out. OO.ui.PopupWidget can be used to keep things working like they are now. You can read more and read about how to find broken scripts. [49]

This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure how this feature works locally. [51]

Future changes

• There is a recently formed team at the Wikimedia Foundation which will be focusing on experimenting with new tools. Currently they are building a prototype ChatGPT plugin that allows information generated by ChatGPT to be properly attributed to the Wikimedia projects.
• Gadget and userscript developers should replace jquery.cookie with mediawiki.cookie. The jquery.cookie library will be removed in ~1 month, and staff developers will run a script to replace any remaining uses at that time. [52]

WikiProject Med Newsletter - Issue 21

Issue 21—June 2023

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

Hello all. Another irregular edition of the newsletter; pardon the six-month gap. I was inspired to collect this after seeing how much activity there is in the GA space on the medicine front. Please review a GAN if you have time, and help to welcome more medicine editors into the fold:

Recognized content (since January 1!)

Trinidad Arroyo nom. Thebiguglyalien, reviewed by Mike Christie Mycobacterium nom. BluePenguin18, reviewed by Ealdgyth

Nominated for review

Hanhart syndrome nom. Etriusus, under review by Dancing Dollar Persistent stapedial artery nom. X750 Howard Florey nom. Hawkeye7 History of penicillin nom. Hawkeye7 Cataract surgery nom. Pbsouthwood COVID-19 pandemic nom. Ozzie10aaaa, under review by Shibbolethink Mohamed Hamad Satti nom. FuzzyMagma El Hadi Ahmed El Sheikh nom. FuzzyMagma Mansour Ali Haseeb nom. FuzzyMagma Sinus tarsi syndrome for peer review by Pear1020

WP:MED News

• Wikipedia:Good article reassessment is back in business, with a new process and new coordinators. If you see medicine-related GAs that may no longer meet the GA criteria, feel free to nominate them for attention/reassessment (please, not too many at once, lest we get overwhelmed). I'll incorporate them into the listings above.
• Major depressive disorder, Schizophrenia, and Dengue fever are featured articles that need updating. Feel free to chime in at the talk pages or WT:MED if you have the time/bandwidth to help update. They'll likely go to featured article review for more feedback in the near(ish) future (probably in the order listed).

Newsletter ideas, comments, and criticisms welcome here.

You are receiving this because you added your name to the WikiProject Medicine mailing list. If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, please remove your name.
