Possible AI text

Hi - I added the AI generated tag in regard to this large content addition and maybe other by the same editor; the text here displays strong indications of likely LLM output and thus needs review for source-to-text integrity, accuracy, original research/tone problems, and the like. Gnomingstuff (talk) 00:53, 29 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Gnomingstuff Good catch. If you look at the end of the 2010s section here, you can see a line where part of the AI machine's correcting response was accidentally included: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gundam&oldid=1306197415

"You’re right — I mangled the refs at the end. Here’s a clean pass with only existing wiki links (no redlinks) and the reference block fixed."

Since this whole massive section has been generated, it can't really be trusted and a comprehensive source check would take too long, so I'll remove this section. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 21:39, 15 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Random aside - even putting aside the origins of this, in the last version of the page before I removed the section there was a good chunk of references given that either didn't support what the reference said or worse, was a reference to another wikipedia page but in a <ref> format! That's definitely a first for me. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 21:56, 15 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi, sorry to not get back to you earlier and thanks for fixing this. A lot of chatbot output does like to circular-cite Wikipedia in its references, sometimes with italics or quotations which is kind of funny Gnomingstuff (talk) 05:36, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi - thanks for removing a lot of this text, very appreciated. There's still a lot of text remaining that seems like AI output, however, so I re-added the tag Gnomingstuff (talk) 06:08, 6 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Updating the Gundam Article Header Image

Latest comment: 9 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Head's up! There is an official logo for the entire Gundam franchise, as seen in the official website: https://en.gundam-official.com/

Here's the image link: https://en.gundam.info/gundaminfo/jp/news/2025/07/250725_gundam-official/OGP.jpg

Please kindly update the header image, upscale if possible.

Thank you! OverDriver05 (talk) 16:26, 2 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
