LLM cleanup at Human brain development timeline
[edit]Hey there. I am helping cleanup after a user who was using LLMs to mass-rewrite article leads without any review. This was discussed at ANI [1] and WP:AICLEAN [2]. One of the articles they edited was Human brain development timeline, which prior to their edit had no lead whatsoever. I saw that you edited the lead afterwards but this editor was not reviewing their leads at all, demonstrated no subject matter expertise in this subject, and I am pretty sure the LLM introduced unsourced content. So I just blanked the entire lead.
Giving you a heads up as a courtesy here. Of course, if you have the expertise to write a lead for this article that would be great :) NicheSports (talk) 15:51, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Please review the template use at {{Recent death}}. Thank you, - FlightTime (open channel) 18:34, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. To be fair, it was still being heavily edited a few hours ago. Chess enjoyer (talk) 19:22, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
- I removed the template two days ago for lack of activity, but all's good. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 20:22, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
Hello, Chess enjoyer,
Please revert your closure of this AFD. This was a very bad choice for a non-admin closure especially for an editor with your limited editing experience. If you haven't already, read Wikipedia:Non-admin closure and follow the guidelines closely. If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Liz Read! Talk! 23:05, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- Done. Could you please explain what was wrong with my closure? I did read NAC, and I thought I knew what I was doing when I made the close (in hindsight, perhaps I fell into pit #1). Do you think my reading of the consensus was wrong, or just that it should've been someone more experienced? Chess enjoyer (talk) 23:55, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]
You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Hipal (talk) 20:14, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
