Welcome to the Administrative Assistance reading room. You can request assistance from administrators for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.

You can deal with most vandalism yourself: fix it, then warn the user. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in #wikibooks (say !admin to get attention).

For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the Assistance Reading Room.

Potential unauthorized LLM use

  • Morbuser

The more I look at these this user's edits, the more I get the impression that they are using a language model to make edits. In particular, page creations like Geometry/Contributors (listing a number of completely fictitious authors as contributors) are inexplicable as anything other than unsupervised LLM use or deliberate vandalism. Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 01:24, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for flagging! I also suspect this of being poor-quality LLM edits. However, we do not have an official policy on this, and we have no definitive way of proving it, so action based on these grounds alone is not feasible. I will delete pages that are clearly very poor quality, and I have warned them on their talk page. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:56, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

CU Request

@MarcGarver @Xania I'm noticing a similarity between User:Math Lover Timmy and User:Morbuser—any reason to believe they are the same editor? Thanks! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 03:12, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

Page merge

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I would appreciate if someone could remove the content in "Louisiana French/Goodbyes" and make the page a redirect to "Louisiana French/Hello and Goodbye" as part of a project overhaul in progress. Thank you in advance! —Monsuu (discuss • contribs) 21:56, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Likewise, please do the same for "Louisiana French/Introduction to Verbs", which is merging into "Louisiana French/Verbs". Thank you again! —Monsuu (discuss • contribs) 00:03, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
