Fabricated citations, possibly AI-generated, in content by User:Vineviz

I found several citations by Vineviz (talk · contribs) in Old Latium, both in the article and within talk page discussion, which failed my attempted verification. I suspect they were AI-generated, although they were problematic regardless of how they were created. I raised these concerns at Talk:Old Latium two weeks ago, which Vineviz, who had become inactive, did not reply to. I reverted Vineviz's edits to that article.

I fear that serious issues are in other material created by the same editor, who in March–April edited a lot of content related to Italy, primarily ancient Italy. (Example: Ancient settlements of the Liri Valley, where I am unable to find some sources cited.)

Do you think this assessment is correct? If so, please help clean up as much as possible. Adumbrativus (talk) 09:08, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've cleaned up this user's ai generated contributions and warned them on their talk page, it should be all clean now. Psychastes (talk) 16:53, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A few articles for creation; request for help

Hey all! On 29 July, the article about Gaetano Bresci will be the featured article on the front page. As part of preparing it for this, over the next two months, I want to try making sure all the red links in the article turn blue. This will involve creating articles about the small Tuscan town of Coiano, the forced residence [it] punitive regime, the newspaper La Questione Sociale, the diplomat Giovanni Branchi [it], the Turigliano cemetery [it] and the communist politician Fausto Marchetti [it]. I'm posting about these here, in case anyone in the Italy WikiProject can help in creating some of these articles or pointing me to sources for building up some of them. Thanks in advance. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:35, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Scuola del Teatro Stabile di Torino

The article Scuola del Teatro Stabile di Torino has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I can't verify key claims in this article, unsourced for almost 14 years. It might exist, but needs a WP:TNT.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
