Line 678:

:There are some sources that may not be reliable, to whit (from the delete discussion): "I cannot even confirm who Independent Laboratory or Nova Trex/Wang are - no web presence, not found in publisher lists, do not have an ISBN range, etc. Recent books by Trex have this statement: {{tq|This book has been authored with the help of LLM tools ...}}; "help" could be doing heavy lifting there. My take is that they do not meet the WP definition of "reliable."

:I may run these by the RS noticeboard to see if anyone has info about them. [[User:Lamona|Lamona]] ([[User talk:Lamona|talk]]) 15:37, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

::The person you are responding to has {{tq|only ever made one post}}, now a year old and counting, which was to interestingly drop a comment here. That person has never mentioned Independent Laboratory or Trex/Wang. As mentioned in a previous comment, many authors and publishers are increasingly using LLM tools, however, the technology still does not allow creating entire technical books consisting of hundreds of pages that are intelligible. SignifcantSignificant human editing is still required, and that may continue to be the case for some years to come. What Trex/Wang is doing with LLM tools on their {{tq|other}} books is also not relevant to the book in question. The quote does not appear to be from that book, but for some other ones.

::For clarity, and to help stop the creation of unnecessary confusion or conflict, Trex/Wang (introduced as a source by a different editor) and Independent Laboratory are {{tq|no longer}} used as references and are simply in the further reading section.

:::Why does it matter how many contributions someone has made if their comment holds weight? [[User:Betseg|Betseg]] ([[User talk:Betseg|talk]]) 11:11, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

::::Was not giving an opinion on the validity of or making a judgement on that original comment, but was instead referring to the activity of the account and what was stated. It would be unlikely to suprisingsurprising to get or to expect a response from someone who hasn't returned in a year or more.
