Editing Eurovision Wiki:WikiProject AI Cleanup/Noticeboard (section)

== AI "translation" that seems to actually be generated text, at [[Heinrich Zille]] ==

I tagged the [[Heinrich Zille]] article as containing AI-generated text, for reasons that will be clear if you read it. The tag was silently removed with the rationale "Tag on the talk page indicates article translated from the corresponding German wiki article."

So judge for yourself: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heinrich_Zille&diff=prev&oldid=1280733656 These are the edits] (Which claim to be translation and unspecified "added context"); [https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heinrich_Zille&oldid=253737016 this is the German article] it is supposedly translated from, at the time of the edits. It seems as if there is nothing in that article that translates to such slop as:

*  {{tq|Possessing an extraordinary talent for depicting the harsh realities of urban life with caustic humour and profound humanity. His works illustrated the struggles of society's most marginalised, including disabled beggars, tuberculosis-afflicted prostitutes, and poorly paid labourers, as well as their children. Zille’s art highlighted their resilience and unyielding determination to find moments of joy and dignity amidst hardship. By blending satire with compassion, he brought attention to the grim living conditions of Berlin’s working classes, particularly those residing in overcrowded tenements, offering a poignant critique of the social challenges of his era.}} (supposedly from the "Secession und der Erfolg als Künstler" section)
* {{tq|Zille documented these realities with a direct, unsentimental approach, portraying them as lived experiences rather than romanticised narratives. His work illuminated the social conditions of the time, highlighting the struggles of Berlin's urban poor.}} (supposedly from the "Zille und Kinder" section)
* {{tq|What began as an initially euphoric portrayal shifted to a critical and sarcastic humour, reflecting his growing disdain for the imperialist system. The illustrations unflinchingly addressed the suffering and societal transformations brought about by the First World War, capturing the profound upheavals of the time.}} (supposedly from the "Militärdienst" section)

:It is blatantly obvious that this content is not 'translated' from the German article, if for no other reason than the fact that the English section is over twice as long as the German section. I've reverted the article to before the massive expansion by Nightsturm, which I'm sure is going to result in a re-reversion.
