Hi, I will be reviewing this article within the next few days. This is my first time reviewing a GAN, so please excuse my mistakes. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 12:41, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
Criteria
A good article is—
- Well-written:
- (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
- (b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.[1]
- Verifiable with no original research:
- (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
- (b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
- (c) it contains no original research; and
- (d) it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
- Broad in its coverage:
- (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
- (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
- Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
- Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. [4]
- Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: [5]
- (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
- (b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.[6]
Notes
- ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
- ^ Footnotes must be used for in-line citations.
- ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
- ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
- ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
- ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
Review
- Well-written:
- Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
- Citation 8 seems to be a blog; but regardless, where it is cited, there are already 3 other citations, so I suggest removing this one.
- I considered it to be reliable since it's not self-published but published by the London Review of Books, a well-known literary magazine. BruschettaFan (talk) 17:17, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- It's fine then. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 17:52, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

OCLC, one of WorldCat's maintainers
This implies that there are multiple maintainers of OCLC, but the cited sources doesn't seem to mention this. Either cite a source that verifies this, or just change it to something like "OCLC, WorldCat's maintainer"- I thought that internet censorship ("the legal control or suppression of what can be accessed, published, or viewed on the Internet") was an appropriate page to link to with regards to the site being blocked in various countries. The only similar page I can find is internet filter, but that isn't explicitly referenced in the sources either. Is there another wording you would prefer?

- I'd suggest "blocked". Kovcszaln6 (talk) 17:52, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Discussion
Potential book source
Noting this for future reference - the German "Lexikon der Informatik, Datenverarbeitung und Kryptographie (HC)" has an entry on AA on pg. 33-34. I'm not sure whether it would be worth citing because it doesn't mention anything not covered here but it could demonstrate notability. BruschettaFan (talk) 06:03, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
Did you know nomination

- Source: "Issued by the Rotterdam District Court, the order requires a local Internet provider to block two well-known shadow libraries; “Anna’s Archive” and “Library Genesis” (LibGen)." (https://torrentfreak.com/dutch-court-orders-isp-to-block-annas-archive-and-libgen-240322)"With no counterclaims received from the contacted parties and having determined mass infringement on the site, an order to disable https://annas-archive.org through a DNS block was issued to Italian ISPs, to be completed in 48 hours." (https://torrentfreak.com/silenzio-annas-archive-shadow-library-blocked-following-publishers-complaint-240104)"The order will continue the blocking of sites first blocked in 2015 (AvaxHome, Ebookee, FreeBookSpot, FreshWap, LibGen, Bookfi and BookRe), as well as extending to "copycat" domains, sites linked to the original targets and a number of newly added domains and networks including Library Genesis, Z-Library and Anna’s Archive."

- ALT1: ... that an illegal search engine for books and scholarly articles has been used to train large language models? Source: "Prominent AI companies including DeepSeek have used its library of books and articles to train their AI models." (https://torrentfreak.com/annas-archive-urges-ai-copyright-overhaul-to-protect-national-security-250201)"Newly unsealed emails allegedly provide the 'most damning evidence' yet against Meta in a copyright case raised by book authors alleging that Meta illegally trained its AI models on pirated books... The new evidence showed that Meta torrented 'at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive'..."

General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- For Hook 1; by naming illegal in the hook it makes it no wonder that it is blocked. IMHO, you should go for Anna's Archive search engine. Hook 2 IMHO doesn't look interesting, as AI models are trained with all the internet (copyrighted or not).
- Other problems:
- I think the title of the article should appear in the hook.
QPQ: None required. |
Overall: C messier (talk) 20:13, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- How about ALT2: ... that the search engine Anna's Archive has been blocked in several countries for copyright infringement? BruschettaFan (talk) 20:40, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- I was think more of twinking a bit the main hook; that the search engine Anna's Archive for books and scholarly articles has been blocked in some countries? C messier (talk) 20:49, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Another option ALT3: ... that the illegal search engine Anna's Archive has said it aims to "catalog all the books in existence"? (from https://www.laweekly.com/free-z-library-e-book-download-search-engine-annas-archive-launches-amid-arrests)
ALT3 Hook looks good to go. C messier (talk) 09:27, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
