I’ve done fact checking on LLM models for work before, and it quickly becomes evident that many models rely on Wikipedia as a heavily weighted source of truth.
If LLMs have even a small role in producing Wikipedia content, the ouroborus of declining quality will accelerate.

I have studied academic biblical scholarship for over 30 years. All of Wikipedia’s biblical pages are riddled with errors. IMO, Wikipedia is a decent starting point but that would be it.

I’d urge you to submit corrections

My self and others in this field tried for about 6 months to no avail. We gave up…they didn’t want to hear it.

Can you give an example of an article with an error that you tried to correct? Not trying to cast doubt on your statements, genuinely just curious what kind of roadblocks you hit. I’m no Wikipedia expert, but I have started to dip my toe into editing in recent months.
