I generally avoid overly embellished articles, but it is important to highlight this work by our organization, as our efforts extend beyond retraction analysis and issues related to fraud in institutional rankings. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 12:30, 31 March 2026 (UTC) Reply

@Newslinger this page should not have been deprodded in the manner that it was. LLM prods should be restored to userspace, and an editor who's editing is so disruptive as to merit a preventative block from articlespace simply cannot assume the required total responsibility for content intended to be in articlespace. If they could then they would not be blocked.

Additionally WP:LLMPRVOBJ was not followed, all content and its sources be closely reviewed and reworked as needed, to ensure that they comply with policies and guidelines has not been met.

• IRW was founded in 2022 by Achal Agrawal fails verification to the source, a later source used in the article actually gives a 2018 date
• an engineer and research scientist who earned a PhD at the Paris-Saclay University fails verification
• This article was among the earliest in Indian media to discuss the country’s retraction rates in academic publishing fails verification
• while also conducting training programmes on ethical research practices fails verification

There are likely more WP:V and WP:BALASP issues, but I don't wish to spend more time performing a review of generated content that LLMPRV was meant to alleviate. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 18:41, 3 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

I suppose I should also state that LLMPRVOBJ isn't a backdoor to existing guidelines either, if the originator of generated content wants to assume responsibility, they must entirely rewrite any model-derived content as WP:NOLLM is one of the PAGs the content must be ensured to meet. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 18:57, 3 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
