[edit]

Hey Bmm29,

I see you're still fairly new on Wikipedia and haven't received a proper welcome yet, so let me be the first to say welcome to Wikipedia! I especially appreciate that you've jumped into working on articles related to tenant's rights, which is something I'm also involved in at WikiProject Housing and Tenant Rights, in case you're interested in formally joining us.

I've also noticed that it appears some of your edits appear to have been written by a large language model. Particularly, in History of ACORN in the United States and Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. I encourage you to take a look at this essay on edits made using large language models. In particular, you should disclose that edits were made using an LLM in your edit summaries. Using LLMs isn't forbidden on Wikipedia but because of hallucinations, they can create a lot of extra work for editors when it comes to verifying the sources accurately reflect the content added to the article, in addition to style and formatting issues they can cause. So, disclosing this per-edit makes potential clean up and verification jobs considerably easier for future editors. If you don't do this, you may get in trouble if future editors see it as a pattern of behaviour. Of course, it's also important to thoroughly review these edits before publishing them and avoid using LLMs altogether when discussing articles on talk pages.

Also, it's worth saying maybe I'm wrong; I say all this because content you've added is marked as being highly-probably generated by an LLM by GPTZero, but these tools can have false positives. Viv Desjardin (talk, contrib) 00:59, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
