What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

From what I read it's mostly bot created nonsense stub articles. I'd rather have a smaller wiki with higher quality than a pond that's miles wide but only inches deep.
They aren't nonsense articles. Those bots create articles about any known species. They usually only include the name, taxonomy, who described it first, and sometimes a description.
never knew wikipedia accepts bot generated text... what's the point of doing that?
To clarify, Lsjbot is/was a deterministic bot that would create stub articles about subjects functionally guaranteed to be notable (by whatever ceb.wiki's standards are, which I think mirror ours on en.wiki). It would add basic information in a template format.
E.g. "Pissus shitticus is an X in the family Y. If was described in 1234 by Some Fucking Guy."
The upside to this is that one of the hardest parts of making a good article is just having the article in the first place. Labor-wise it's not difficult, but it's a psychological thing.
The downside is that, unlike on en.wiki which already has its hands full with a couple million bot-created articles, ceb.wiki could not possibly ever hope to substantially complete 99% of these. So they'll be stuck as shitty stubs that are little more than a verbose database entry for eternity.
I don't think it's a matter of "accepting" but rather it being mostly community maintained, and so languages with minimal communities get no moderation.
