Hi MisawaSakura. Thank you for your work on Kerstin Grebäck. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thank you for your work on this article. Please establish notability as per WP:BIO. Thanks and have a great day!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mariamnei}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Very sorry to see you have retired

edit

I've just seen, MisawaSakura, that you have retired from Wikipedia. I hope you will reconsider as in the relatively short time you have participated, you have contributed many interesting articles about your native Japan and more recently biographies of women pool players in connection with Women in Red. You seem to have been upset by one of your articles being refused by a reviewer. I don't think you should take this too seriously, especially as so many of your articles have been accepted. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you along. In any case, thank you for all your efforts. I will certainly not forget you.--Ipigott (talk) 10:16, 9 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Can I add to the sentiment above. Over the last 6 months you have been industrious and helpful generally, and have become a stalwart at TFA Requests. There in particular your inputs will be missed. In fact I came here initially to sound you out about becoming a little more formally part of the TFA process. I thought that it might be the sort of thing that you might enjoy. If you should change your mind about retiring, please give me a ping - that would make my day. (And you may relate to my early self-reflective essay, or you may not.) In any event, many thanks for your recent inputs, and take care of yourself. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:05, 13 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
Ipigott & Gog the Mild, be aware that this editor's contributions were rejected because it was found they were publishing plagiarized articles written by WP:LLMs. If you're interested in helping with the clean up, their contributions are going to have to be checked for fabricated references and other hallucinations.

Thank you for bringing this up, Thebiguglyalien. I positively reviewed quite a number of the short women's biographies created by this editor. To me, they seemed to be based on acceptable sources and contained sufficient evidence of notability. Furthermore, this editor was able to create a considerable number of women's biographies, latterly in connection with Women in Sport, Women in Red's annual focus for 2026. Is there any firm evidence that the use of LLMs is not acceptable? Some of us, including Rosiestep believe that if used carefully, AI assistance can in fact be helpful in improving the quality of articles. I'm therefore not at all convinced that a clean-up operation is called for. Are you able to provide any clear evidence of cases in which LLMs have caused problems requiring attention in these biographies?--Ipigott (talk) 09:17, 2 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry to hear about the retirement of MisawaSakura and that there are issues with some of their articles. For clarification and transparency regarding Ipigott's mention of my belief that if used carefully, AI assistance can in fact be helpful in improving the quality of articles, note that my academic research experiment, now in the analysis stage, focuses on using an AI agent to expand a lead paragraph of an article I've created incorporating only the content in the article, and without introducing additional information, references, hallucinations, or slop. And, of course, the Edit Summary indicates the use of an AI agent in that edit. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:18, 2 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
The WP:LLM page I linked explains the issues that are inherent to this technology, and as of November creating articles using LLM content is sanctionable in itself per WP:NEWLLM. If sheer number of created articles is an important metric for you and you support the inclusion of LLM content, then there's already a separate project for that at Grokipedia.
