Please leave me alone.

[...] engage in what is called 'sealioning'. They demand that you keep arguing with them for as long they want you to, even long after you realize that further discussion is pointless. If you announce that you want to stop, they accuse you of being closed-minded or opposed to reason.

Question

Me again -- I was reading this 2025 CBS article while dealing with an edit to the New Georgia Project made by Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Broadmoor. (whose sock also got flagged for for AI-retrieved citations yay), when I noticed that the last quote wasn't quite quoting the twitter post. Re-reading the rest of the article and it certainly vibes weird to me. If it's not too much trouble, can I have your opinion? GreenLipstickLesbian💌🧸 13:09, 12 November 2026 (UTC)

Nothing really jumping out at me, news isn't really my forte admittedly. It's bylined at least so that's a point in its favor Gnomingstuff (talk) 18:51, 12 November 2026 (UTC)

I see -- honestly, thanks for looking anyway!

(It's probably bd that I have enough experience with journalists that I don't immediately trust even a bylined piece, isn't it? Especially after a summer of working on recent deaths articles -- I kept on reading obits, finding some of them subtly wrong, but all in the same way -- they were all in Spanish or I'd have asked you, but they had that sycophantic PR tone) GreenLipstickLesbian💌🧸 20:39, 12 November 2026 (UTC)

LLMs

I think it is becoming a pattern that combative new users making sweeping changes with constant reference to acronyms and vehemently denying AI use (except "using for source discovery"). In almost all instances said user edit solely BLPs and NCORPs.

Am I seeing something that's not there? 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 13:36, 13 November 2026 (UTC)

UPEs! msk 15:46, 13 November 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree; it feels like a new setup than the previous "keep low and be polite" and it's now "shout loud enough and people may get intimidated".

I personally rushed to use "UPE" prematurely a few times and got stared at so is currently turning my confidence value down. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 17:12, 13 November 2026 (UTC)

Did I mean you? @May6man 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 09:58, 14 November 2026 (UTC)

Joining in 2018 isn't new, and disputing your unsubstantiated edits isn't combative.

Doi Ang Khang is outside Fang Town

The image you reverted was of Doi Ang Khang, which is located in Fang District, not Fang Town. It is outside the municipal area of Fang Town and should not be treated as part of Fang Town, as the two are geographically distinct.
