I believe what really is going on here is that people get this sort of pavlovian reaction to my article;
1. I don't wear a profile picture.
2. It has got no images in it.
All of this musters up in readers, before actually having time to gain a comprehension of the entry, to dislike it! Also, no, I hadn't used a robot to automatically write this entry.

They don't seem to describe the premise all that much though.
Another reader replied with the following comment:
People aren't addressing the premise because you're not telling much of a story with it. The first victim is implied to be conscious and suffering; you don't explore that. The last victim dies in an accident, which suggests that the anomaly can be reversed; you don't explore that either. All you're doing is showing off a series of tragic, one-dimensional characters. The only narrative conflict on display is the Foundation concealing the anomalies, and their decisions don't make sense. Why stage a terrorist attack, when they could just close off the mall for a while? Why would the O5 Council reveal themselves to the public over a single crashed train? All of these story issues are obscured by convoluted descriptions, tortured phrases and inappropriate terms, which make it harder for a reader to understand what's going on.

According to the agent’s allegation, they had stated that SCP-7438-1 alongside its friends were playing football on the field for the length of over ten (10) minutes straightforward, before it had converting into stillness.
A more natural way to put this would be, "According to the agent's testimony, witnesses were playing football with SCP-7438-1 for ten minutes before it was immobilized."
One of which had persisted without Foundation intervention, though with potboiler quality and was detailing the legitimate story of SCP-7438-1 instead, however available comments on the post give ironic expressions toward it.
This is an inappropriate use of the term "potboiler", which describes a story brought to market purely for money. "Ironic expressions" is also a strange way to describe people dismissing or mocking a true account of what happened.
actors had been implemented as "terrorists" sporting gowns matching to that of historical thesis
explosive packages of powder raft coupled with Molotov cocktails
I have no idea what these statements are supposed to mean.

This doesn't read like machine-generated text to me. It comes across more like someone who learned English as a second language trying to imitate clinical tone by picking terms out of a thesaurus. If that's the case, I'd really recommend seeking out an international branch that uses your native language and starting there. Regardless, if you want to write for SCP Wiki, you should definitely check out the Required Reading Hub, then engage with the Ideas Critique subforums and seek greenlights to proceed.

I do understand the first example you brought up, however the last two should be explicit. Independent journalist tend to monetize their websites for the sake of earning revenue and incorporate a comment section along with them.
It previously is stated that attempting to anyhow adjust an SCP-7438 instance is not possible. The first one being an adolescent kid, so therefore a sense of morality is present in that section since the Foundation wouldn't want to blow up a child to see what happens.
Then later, when a mature adult fastens into immobility in the middle of a mall, they amp up their standards and try using a drastic measure in order to get rid of it; but they make it appear as if it's some kind of classic old-fashioned Islamic terror group doing it since they don't have access to the surrounding area and can just close it off.
The above seems to confirm that the content submitted used some level of machine translation and possibly thesaurus word replacement.
