Hello @Spoorthi Rao
Thank you for reporting this.
After investigation, the activation of Edit check (see here how it looks) was accurate.
It also appears that the user you mentioned would have had changed the article no matter what. When the request to add a reference was shown, the added a random website instead of declining the request.
Hope this helps; if you have any question, let me know! Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:08, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
