"Despite facing external challenges, including the repercussions of the Russo-Ukrainian War," - this bit needs more detail. Why did this war impact Kinshasa? 109.255.191.129 (talk) 10:14, 19 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

English speakers usually pronounce Kinshasa as "kinchasa". I think it is difficult for us to say an "sh" followed so closely by an s. Listening to several audio clips of the pronunciation on the Internet, I mostly hear "kinchasa". Can anyone comment? 69.141.120.199 (talk) 19:11, 27 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi - I have added the AI-generated tag here, specifically regarding the edits made in late 2023 through 2024 by EdwinAlden.1995. Two examples, but there are many more: Special:Diff/1221841624, Special:Diff/1162872312.

These edits display many marked WP:AISIGNS including promotional tone, superficial analyses, vocab distribution typical of 2023-24 LLMs, etc. Some of this has been slightly removed per the edit history (@Francish7 has noticed and fixed many issues both in tone and factual accuracy), but a lot remains, and thus the whole of these edits need extensive scrutiny for accuracy, source-to-text integrity problems, synthesis, etc. Gnomingstuff (talk) 22:51, 29 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
