Fantasy misinformation about cited sources

If we are to believe what we read in this draft, one "Peabody, Atlas" wrote a number of its sources spanning a period from the late 19th century until just weeks ago.

I looked into the first of these that I happened to notice: Peabody, Atlas (2025-01-31), English: North Wales Chronicle. May 26th 1888. A reporter visits Mr Parry's studio and describes several paintings, retrieved 2025-01-31. This is poppycock. If I assume that the retrieval date is correct (and I have no reason to doubt this), then an accurate description would be "Bethesda: Art." North Wales Chronicle. 26 May 1888. Retrieved 2025-01-31.

(Quite why it's being hosted at Commons is not obvious, but anyway it came with plenty of irrelevant material and was misdescribed there too. I have, I hope, fixed those. I invite the uploader, Atlas Peabody, to do the same on Commons for the other files misattributed to Atlas Peabody, and to categorize them too.)

Atlas Peabody (or anybody else who might want to submit this draft) should provide as much accurate information about each cited source as is known. They should not perpetuate fiction about any of these. -- Hoary (talk) 05:27, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this draft was (at least partially) AI-generated, which would explain these incorrect references. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:30, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
