SafariScribe: Thank you for approving the Mini C-arm page. It is only showing two paragraphs now. Another reviewer, Destinyokhiria, tried to review the page after you approved it and the original is no longer intact. Do you need me to re-input/edit the page with the orginal copy again? It was perfect yesterday, before I heard from Destinyokhiria. Thank you. Fluoreditor (talk) 21:52, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
SafariScribe: Another editor, @HelpfulRaccoon, challenged the authenticity of the Mini C-Arm submission. Here is my response to them just now (6/26/26). I appreciate any advice you can offer. My response:
@HelpfulRaccoon: I understand your concern regarding the current LLM guidelines. I would like to clarify my workflow and the experience that I bring to this project.
I am a retired professional print journalist with more than 40 years of media experience, an advanced degree in journalism and two books published to date. I researched and worked on this article for nearly four months, including identifying all of the references and citations and talking with three of the individuals who played a principal role in the development of the Mini C-Arm. I also had access to the pre-online era (1975-1995) archives of print articles, including some of the cited NASA Spinoff articles, from one of the developers – all of which were verified if cited. I wrote the original draft of this article myself and verified every source that I cited.
My use of AI was only to format the verified references and citations correctly and to put my original draft into wikitext format to comply with the requirements for submission. I worked very hard to ensure that every statement in the text is supported by independent, reliable sources. No factual claim was made without verification from a cited source.
If there are specific statements that appear unsupported or inaccurate, let me know and I will either clarify them, provide additional sourcing or remove them.

It is not intact. Only two brief paragraphs now show up and only a fraction of the references and citations. It was fine when it was approved by SafariScribe yesterday. Thank you. Fluoreditor (talk) 21:56, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
