OCLC error in an ANI archive
Hello, all.
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1205#Pattern of LLM edits on contentious topics contains an actual citation template with a relevant OCLC error. This is causing the archive to populate into Category:CS1 errors: OCLC, which is configured to ignore "/Archive#" subpages but not "/IncidentArchive#." Is there a way to stub out the category, so that we don't perpetually have a OCLC error floating around in the category? ~ Matthewrb Get in touch · Breadcrumbs 07:04, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Fixing archives to remove errors is ok (if there really is a benefit). I fixed that in diff. Johnuniq (talk) 07:29, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Constantly destroying of a wikiproject:
Opinions, but no contributions
Has anybody else noticed an unregistered editor(s) continuously leaving comments at WP:ANI & other Wiki-boards, while making little to know contributions on mainspace? GoodDay (talk) 16:18, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
- Is that a problem? How do you know, anyway, whether they have made contributions to mainspace? If their comments are disruptive then we have ways of dealing with disruptive edits, and if not we shouldn't worry about them. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:37, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
- Not anymore. The IP-in-question has been blocked as a project sock. GoodDay (talk) 23:07, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Statement / Request

On behalf of @Marina redaktor and my brother, who previously operated under the name @Paradygmaty, I reaffirm our position regarding Wikipedia and formally repeat our request. [For clarity, we note that having additional accounts is not per se prohibited, provided it is not done in bad faith and is not concealed; our statement and request are made openly and in good faith]. We recently discovered that we again have the technical ability to edit. However, after reviewing our past experiences, we state clearly that we do not wish to participate in this project in any capacity. Our trust in the platform has been irreparably damaged by the removal of a substantial body of work created by Marina Redaktor, despite its factual and material merit. In our view, these removals were driven by personal vendettas rather than neutral editorial standards. It is especially disturbing that even the story of the distinguished American soldier Theodore L. Dobol was erased in the context of these conflicts. It is also a regrettable and telling situation that on 04 January I was deprived of the right to express my position here through the deletion of my post. For that reason, I am submitting this statement again. If any administrator genuinely wishes to assess the value of the removed work, they may review the relevant discussion thread regarding Marina Redaktor’s contributions, as some material may have warranted retention or restoration. That said, we no longer seek reintegration into this community.
We do not want to be associated with Wikipedia as a project or as a community. We also consider it unfair that other long-standing, highly contributing users should be forced to remain part of a community that operates in this manner. Our position is therefore also aimed at ensuring they are not placed in the same situation. Michiganski (talk) 19:42, 9 January 2026 (UTC) | |
- Nobody is forced to participate in Wikipedia.
- And incidentally, why does this post include invisible {{LLM top}} and {{LLM bottom}} markup? AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:52, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
- {{LLM top}} and {{LLM bottom}} were added by EditorShane3456 here. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 20:05, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
