Question for Administrator

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

The very first version of this page (July 21 2025) has tagged the edit comment "possible AI-generated citations possible cut and paste move or recreation", plus it has a {{Unreferenced}} dated Jan 2025. I cannot see evidence of an older version, please check for me before I do a NPP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldm1954 (talk • contribs)

I'll go through each tag individually:

"citing a blog or free web host": this is because wordpress.com is cited which is shouldn't be cited as it's a blog.

"possible AI-generated citations": this is because "?utm_source=chatgpt.com" is in the URLs of citations in the article, meaning that ChatGPT has been used to generate something in the article (see UTM parameters for what utm_source=chatgpt.com means)

"possible cut and paste move or recreation": I'm not sure why this tag is there.

@Ldm1954, I don't see any previous versions. My guess is that there are maintenance templates in the very first revision because it was created by an LLM. It's possible it was copied from University of Otago but I'll leave you to check on that one. -- asilvering (talk) 04:24, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ldm1954 this article certainly does show some of the tell-tale signs of being generated by an LLM. I am quite convinced it was generated by an LLM. The content needs to be thoroughly verified against the sources. David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 08:37, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

it wasn't created by an LLM. one of the references was sourced through an LLM search. Aspir8 (talk) 19:25, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup needed

The bold in the lead should be the name of the article.
The lead should be a brief summary
Claiming that redlinked academics are notable is WP:OR and not allowed.
The claim of "established research strengths" is unsourced WP:PEACOCK
No WP:SIGCOV to establish notability.
