Hoi,
It is not about you. The question is only relevant because some make it a
big thing. My point is that we should move on, no longer need to generate
bot generated articles but cache the results. This will make the question
go away and it will have us serve our readers better.
Thanks

I was merely interested in the fact whether or not
this was done with the
help of bots or not.
That is was not just makes it all the more impressive!
My question was not in order to make a comment with my opinion about
bot-generated articles.

Hoi,
To be perfectly honest I get so annoyed by such questions. It proves
distrust and it shows a lack of perspective for what we are actually
about.
We are about "sharing the sum of all
knowledge" and we do not do all that
we can do to even share in the sum of all the knowledge we have.
Biplap answered that their effort comprises of articles that were
written.
However with 10K articles there is a lot that we
could share that is not
provided in Maithili. At that there is a lot of knowledge, even in
English,
that we do not share. While bot generated
articles are reviled, they do
one
thing better. They share what is there. This is
not to say that we could
improve on the concept but that requires that people are willing to think
about this.
We could easily generate texts based on the information that exists in
Wikidata. This has been done for many years now and it works perfectly in
English (little grammar). It is done a lot on several Wikipedias and it
works for them; they gain more readers as a result.. THIS is the key
point.
We can improve on bots. We can base our search results also on Wikidata
and
generate articles that are cached when there is
no article yet. We can do
this for red links as well and the combined result will be a large
increase
in information that we share with our public.
This will be a huge benefit
for all Wikipedias but English will benefit the most because typically
there are labels in English not so much in other languages.
My question to you all is: this is 2017. A new president will rule in the
USA and the point is made that because "liberals" are not able to
consider
the points of view of others, to reflect on what
they do is what made Mr
Trump the next president. My point is that when we are not able to
discuss
our issues and remain stuck in our points of view
we will not work
towards
a model where the manipulations of Mr Trump can
be thwarted.
Happy New Year.
Thanks,
GerardM

Was this supported by bots?
