Hi, a couple of months back my rights were taken, and I was told to reapply after at least three months. During this time, I noticed many LLM-generated drafts in the AfC queue and worked on improving my skills by reviewing the relevant guidelines before declining drafts. When I am unsure about a topic and cannot make a well-supported judgment, I avoid reviewing it. I am hoping to resume reviewing drafts and to do my best in the role. Thank you. Jesus isGreat7 16:04, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

CoconutOctopus, you were more heavily involved in this removal than I was (talk page notice for reference), do you have any strong opinions either way about a third chance? Primefac (talk) 16:33, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

I think 6 months is plenty time, happy for them to be added back probationally. CoconutOctopus talk 16:35, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

Probation, which I want evaluated at the end of a month of reviewing. This is mandatory - please make a post when the time comes inviting reviews and commentary on your progress. If successful the usual probationary checks will then take place after the usual 3-6 month period. Primefac (talk) 16:43, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

Looking to dip my toe into article reviewing to get more experience in different areas of wiki. Road to New Pages Patrol! :) I have plenty of experience creating articles and editing articles, and often a watcher/participator in AfDs, so trying to continue to learn more and gain new experience to continue to bolster my understanding of WP and the nuances of article reviewing. Given my experience writing articles and my own experience going through AfDs as a new Wikipedian, I think I am sufficiently familiar with WP:GNG, WP:RS, WP:INDY, etc. And always keen to learn more.

Requesting the aforementioned access. I meet the requirements of 90+ days of experience and 500+ edit. I also have sufficient knowledge about page creation guidelines, deletation guidelines, etc. The main reason for requesting the right is that I can assist in reducing the backlog, and not let drafts to wait for such a long period of time. TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 11:07, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Your most recent creation, Morphology of Archaeognatha, is visibly AI-generated with several hallucinated references. Please read WP:LLM and WP:NEWLLM. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 05:04, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

@Helpful Raccoon Please check out the deletation contest.

TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 07:31, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Your contested deletion is frankly nonsensical. It is extremely troubling that you are justifying AI usage with nothing was mentioned on the llm guidelines that generating sources is not allowed. And it isn't just the sources that are AI-generated, but also much or all of the content. If you got all your information from a single book, why are you citing other sources that you apparently didn't even look at? Helpful Raccoon (talk) 08:00, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Because I knew very well that a single book which described Archaeognatha properly (but as Thysanura) will not suffice. To justify the notability of the article, more sources were certainly needed so I told a LLM to generated some (which is not illegal, or at least not directly stated that it is). As for generating the content, please point out which definite part you feel to be generated and which you feel to be AI hallucination. Moreover, please read the full article, and you will certainly notice that not all sources are generated and those which are generated only few of these are probably false. And I also suggest you to take this matter to the article's talk page, and not discuss it here. And by the way, Your contested deletion is frankly nonsensical does not reflect good faith.

TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 08:13, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

I specified some hallucinated sources in the deletion template, but it doesn't matter if you remove them because the article would still need to be deleted. Citing sources without reading them is completely unacceptable even if the sources are real, as is asking an AI to write any part of the article for you without carefully reviewing it. It destroys the integrity of Wikipedia to include potentially false information. Do not do that ever again. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 08:42, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

@Helpful Raccoon Just to clarify, I asked you to point out hallucinated content. As I see that you evaded this question two times in a row, I take it that you are unable to find such content (which is to say there are no hallucinated prose. And don't take this as a personal attack 👍). And as for the sources, of the twenty-one citations, you have only pointed out two as hallucinations, which if you suggest, I will delete. But please clarify, what you mean by but it doesn't matter if you remove them because the article would still need to be deleted. Does it indicate to arbitrary deletation of an article? (WP:NDR? Please don't mind) And again I suggest you to take this matter to the article's talk page. TrueMoriarty Talk | Contribs 09:16, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

I have been a rollbacker for quite a while now, with a majority of my edits being from my Rollbacks on articles and warns on user accounts. I applied for AfC at one point, being put on Probation, but eventually asked for my access to be removed as I was going on quite a long hiatus. During that hiatus, I had done brief editing and had looked at page creation guidelines in closer detail. Now that the cause of my hiatus is now gone, and I have begun to resume my work on Wikipedia, I would like to apply for AfC yet again. Not only do I meet edit and account age requirement, I know CSD, AfD and page creation guidelines. My main goal is to reduce the backlog of articles in AfC and grow the encyclopedia.

I often find myself looking at new drafts and vetting the sources used (sometimes more thoroughly than other times). Usually I'll be doing this as a source integrity check when I suspect something to be LLM generated (but obviously human-written drafts and articles also need to be properly sourced). Having access to the AfC tools/script would probably be useful to me, both to outright decline drafts as needed and it would also be nice to accept good drafts into mainspace for a change. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 12:21, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
