citations that contain a search term

@Schwede66. Axel- how do format for a citation for a link with a search term. https://tiaki.natlib.govt.nz/#search="Hilary Stace"

link [5] on my drafts page. - currently returns empty from wikipedia but works correctly from browser

You wouldn't use this link as a reference. You would add another heading "External links" and add it there. I'll do this for you so that you can see how to deal with external links. Schwede66 09:48, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

chatGPT

@Schwede66. I was culling through links to fill in this page. Then I thought I would try chatGPT. I asked it to create a wikipedia page using the correct format. It did a pretty good job, pulling most of the references I found plus some. So my inclination now is to start this page anew and populate it with the chatGPT output, then go throuh and validate the references and confirm the quotes accurate then go back and add other links and info I have access to people who knew Hilary. This can save me a lot of time and it seems to me, on first blush, it should hold up the wikipedia rules for truth. I am not the first person to think of this approach. Please advise on what I should avoid. Ian Ig Wells (talk) 06:03, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Not a good idea. By all means, get advice from a large language model. But before you transfer any of that to Wikipedia, check that the info is correct and that references truly exist. It does make things up. It also doesn't know how to write neutrally. Schwede66 07:30, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
