Your GA nomination of Atlantic Insight

[edit]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Atlantic Insight you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

GenAi tag question

[edit]

Hi. In this edit you mentioned heavy use of incorrect quotation marks as a hallmark of GenAi work. I was wonder you meant by that. Was it just ” use, or is it something else I'm not aware of? Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:20, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ian, thanks for reaching out. I've picked out two things that when found together are basically an assurance that generative AI was used, that being the use of the "fancy quotes" as you mentioned, and seeing ?utm_source=chatgpt.com at the end of the references. I believe all generative AI makes use of those quotes in their outputs. However, I will note that I've since discovered that use of "fancy quotes" also happens when editors write their article in Google Docs and then transfer it over, as Google Docs automatically switches them. Let me know if you have any other questions, or if you think my tagging of the article was unjustified. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 19:36, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NS1000 challenge ?

[edit]
Nova
Scotia
1,000

See Wikipedia:The Challenge series - like The Canadian 10,000 Challenge. If your interested in a smaller 1,000 Challenge for a province,User Dr. Blofeld can help set it up. All articles could be listed in both Challenges. Moxy🍁 04:41, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. I've been thinking about those challenges for a while actually, the main reason I haven't gone for it yet is because I'm not sure how much it would actually do for encouraging contributions. I imagine most people interested in Nova Scotia are already chipping away at the articles without a challenge, and for me at least, I'd never remember to list them all... If it were to be styled as a de-stub-a-thon and there was interest from the wider Canadian WikiProject in participating I could see it being more effective, but I've gathered that the spirit of collaboration isn't always the strongest in our ranks. A while ago I threw together a basic idea for a Maritime content drive for the "important articles" of NS and NB that could potentially be turned into a contest, but that one is still on the drawing board. Let me know if you have any thoughts, MediaKyle (talk) 13:01, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Maritime Content Drive is a great idea let me know if you need some help. Moxy🍁 13:36, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
