Started finding what appear to be hallucinated citations – [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saint-F%C3%A9licien_cheese&diff=prev&oldid=1330091137 here], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guignolet&diff=prev&oldid=1330091861 here], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Green_papaya_salad&diff=prev&oldid=1330093661 here]. (Even if the individual titles correspond to actual books, other details like authors and ISBNs did not match at all.)

Flagged to the editor who is experimenting with LLMs. They have now reverted a bunch of their own edits but think this series of articles is worth a closer look to make sure there aren't any other garbled or made-up citations.

:Tracking [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup/Noticeboard/2025-12-30 WikiNoia|subpage]] created and is available at the top of this report. 158 pages need review. I've done my best to exclude obviously unproblematic edits.

::I've given them a bespoke [[Special:Diff/1330281489|final warning]], if they misuse an LLM again please [[WP:PING|ping]] me.

:::@[[User:Fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four|Fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four]] They continue to edit without checking their own work or taking responsibility per their Talk page. Seems like they are [[WP:NOTHERE]] to build an encyclopedia. [[User:Cielquiparle|Cielquiparle]] ([[User talk:Cielquiparle|talk]]) 19:26, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
::::{{np|WikiNoia}} is now indefinitely blocked from articlespace following an ANI report at [[WP:ANI#Another continually unconstructive LLM editor]].

*There exists unanimous consensus to allow for presumptive reverts of all WikiNoia's past articlespace, non-[[WP:MINOR|minor]] edits, see [[Special:PermanentLink/1335028610|WP:ANI#Presumptive revert proposal]]. When making a presumptive revert, I would suggest leaving a link to that consensus in the edit summary.
