Hello, Newslinger, thank you for the helpful suggestion. Just for some context, the comment I left on editor JBW's page was at his request to help him understand the situation. I had read that he prefers information to be presented in English, which is why I initially included a machine translation of a discussion about a similar deletion proposal from the Serbian Wikipedia talk page. Following your advice, I've now changed the comment, replacing the machine-translated text with a direct link to the discussion page. Apologies if the original comment was a bit long. I also appreciate you pointing me to the WP:LLMDISCLOSE guideline. I am fully aware of the technology's limitations and don't plan on using it to write articles. Rest assured, if I do use an LLM for assistance in the future, I will make sure to use the proper disclosure. Thanks again for your guidance. Mmns21 (talk) 21:35, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Mmns21, what are you using to translate your Serbian text? There is a distinction between using machine translation services such as Google Translate, which may use LLMs in their technical implementation but still aim to create a faithful translation of your text in the target language, and AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, which generate all kinds of outputs including ones that are not translations of your text. The use of machine translation services is acceptable in some cases when not done disruptively, but the use of AI chatbots is often problematic for the reasons listed at WP:LLM. — Newslingertalk22:33, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Newslinger, I use Google Translate and a grammar checker to correct my sentence structure, and sometimes a paraphrasing tool as well. --Mmns21 (talk) 23:14, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds good. Please remember that articles translated from other Wikipedias (including the Serbian Wikipedia) need to be properly attributed by following the instructions in Help:Translation § Attribution. Applying this attribution will allow other editors to quickly see how the article is created, and will help eliminate suspicion that the article is LLM-generated.When you get a chance, please use the directions in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia § Repairing insufficient attribution (WP:RIA) to apply the required attribution to the articles that you have already translated. Thank you. — Newslingertalk23:25, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the heads-up; I didn't know about that rule. One of my articles, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuk%27s_reform), is a translation from Serbian Wikipedia, and I've already marked it with the correct attribution as instructed. Regarding the other article, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%86aci_u_%C5%A1kolu), while it started with some translated text from the Serbian version, it has been heavily edited and expanded since then.
I believe this should be correct now. Would you mind taking a quick look to confirm? Thanks again for your help!
Hello, I'm Newslinger. An edit that you recently made to User talk:JBW seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. 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. This also applies to discussions on talk and project pages. Please do not post LLM-generated comments, especially without proper disclosure. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 20:43, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
