Hi friends @Rosiestep, SusunW, Megalibrarygirl, Victuallers, and Jesswade88:. I wrote three articles about notable scientists using Primers's AI QuickSilver plugin: this one (Anantha P. Chandrakasan is the dean of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's School of Engineering), the Johan Rockström's bio (Johan Rockström is the Director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University) and Janice K. Kiecolt-Glaser (she is the Director of the Ohio State Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research). I also created Wikidata items: d:Q63254439, d:Q63254451 and d:Q63254476. What do you think? Can be published, as entries to be improved, as they are? Thank you, Camelia (talk) 11:23, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Camelia.boban, Rosiestep, Megalibrarygirl, Victuallers, and Jesswade88: I don't know anything at all about QuickSilver or how to use it. Reading bios on the web of Chandrakasan (holder of the Vannevar Bush chair of electrical engineering at MIT[1]) and Kiecolt-Glaser (holder of the S. Robert Davis Chair of Medicine[2]), they easily meet WP:PROF. Johan Rockström already has a bio on en:WP. My opinion is that you could move the other two to mainspace, simply by adding their named chairs to the lede sections of the articles. SusunW (talk) 14:41, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Easter to all! I have successfully used this program and it does give a good start for an article. Do beware of it stealing whole sentences. For instance I noticed "she has authored more than 250 articles, chapters, and books, most in collaboration with Dr. Ronald Glaser." as being very similar in the source and the article. So by all means, but good to get you or someone to check it for (minor) plagiarism. Victuallers (talk) 15:12, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard of QuickSilver, but it sounds interesting. I agree with Victuallers that you should check for plagiarism. Do you have Earwig Copyvio checker installed, Camelia.boban? It will check for copyright violations. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:36, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Camelia.boban, Me, too. I've never heard of QuickSilver but would be interested in learning more. Agree that you should double-check for copyvio with Earwig Copyvio checker or maybe you use a different tool for that? --Rosiestep (talk) 15:51, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How do I install Earwig Copyvio checker? Ok, found it (nothing to install). --Camelia (talk) 15:52, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good news I added a pic. Other news - that sentence "in collaboration with Dr. Ronald Glaser" is dubiously referenced and the lede was confused as to whether she was a psychiatrist or a psychologist. I think I've fixed that bit. Victuallers (talk) 16:48, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw, thank you Victuallers :-). The percentage of this article related to copyvio is now at 16%, but is about institutions names and titles that cannot be changed. Which is the maximum acceptable to non be considered copyviol? --Camelia (talk) 17:38, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion the number isn't important - its whether the paraphrasing is too close - even if the reported %age is very low. I did remove the last sentence as it basically said that daily conflict caused cancer - which is open subtlety a bit away from what she discovered... but very very different.
