This reads like it was run through several layers of Google translate

Author, due to the discordance of the phrasing and grammar this SCP comes across as rather difficult to read, although the concept is salvageable. Try heading to the Drafts and Critiques forum and hash ideas out with some folks over there. Good luck!

Use the How to Write an SCP for formatting issues, like the image. also due to the various grammatical and capitalization errors, this is really hard for me to read. and instead of just putting quotation marks around a word you don't know how to say in clinical tone (I am talking about the "brain") in this case, just use a classification such as SCP-3597-#. If this was a bit more polished and ran through a spell check software, it could be something that I would enjoy, but until then, -1.

While I agree it's pretty bad in terms of phrasing and grammar, that can be fixed. It also has a really bad tone, however that can be reworked.
What is significantly harder to fix is a boring concept with an execution that doesn't in the least save that premise. It just causes boring psychic influence on people around it, but if they touch it's brain they have generic visions.
SCP-4072 is primarily two 15x15cm pyramid shaped stones (SCP-4072-A and SCP-4072-B) crudely depicting iconography and symbols that correspond with no known civilizations. Whenever SCP-4072-A and SCP-4072-B come within 9.6km of each other, an area of approximately [REDACTED] square kilometers located in Southern China will immediately ignite and catch on fire. This zone has been designated SCP-4072-Alpha and all of its inhabitants moved, -18 and three staff votes.

I don't understand the purpose of this article, what it's trying to portray, and how I'm supposed to feel as the audience when exposed to this literature. It isn't, on its face, terrible. It just doesn't have a point.
MrMcBride
Just seemed like there was nothing there.
Kind of like; this is object, don't do this, if this not done everything is fine, oh god something happened for some reason, the end.

Additionally I don't really understand the Keter classification on this - it does not pose any threat of containment breach and if special containment procedures are followed there is no threat of anything bad happening. It should be Euclid or Safe in my opinion.
LordSpy
4M K is ridiculously hot. Maybe not in the "completely unattainable" range some other articles have done with their measurements, but temperatures that high would probably have some weird effects on surrounding matter. You don't play with those, instead just seemingly using a high number for "this is ultra-dangerous guys".
SCP-4965 is a helmet originating from the Spartan battle somewhere around ███BC. During the battle, the helmet fell off a dying Spartan. During the year of ████, it was found in an archaeologist excavation site about 10 meters below ground. It was found rusted and dented, making it not wearable. After 2 years of intense repairing from the archaeologists, its condition was clean and fixed, -17 and three staff votes.
Scp-4517 appears to be an average specimen of Anas platyrhynchos and was first found in [REDACTED], however at the approach of any human within 0.2 kilometres of SCP-4517, SCP-4517 will immediately and aggressively engage the human and will relentlessly attempt to deposit an egg within the human’s ear canal with the only exception being under the condition that the human’s ears are thoroughly sealed with any applicable material, -16 and three staff votes.

Concept has potential with the extreme weirdness of it, but it really doesn't do anything with it other than "it kills people when the egg hatches".
Also, based on the description, shouldn't this be extremely easy to contain by simply having some poor D-Class as an egg carrier and then just making sure the duck is unhurt?
SCP-3487 refers to an anomalous longsword 81.28 Centimeters in length and 1.13 Kilograms in weight. The design is similar to ██th-century weapons, but carbon dating has determined that the sword was forged sometime in ██th-century BCE. The sword has no markings, save for a small imprint of a wasp on the bottom of the pommel. The sword's grip is covered by a wrap composed of leather and copper wire. All attempts to remove the grip from SCP-3487 have been met with failure, -10 and three staff votes.

What brings it down for me is the somewhat run-on sentences, as well as some grammar and typographical errors. I implore you to put any future drafts of this SCP, or any SCP you write in general in the SCP Draft/Critiques portion of the forums.

At the end of the day, this is just zombies with a few extra layers. I mean, obviously you know so given the listed title, but to me you just don't add enough to make it a worthwhile read. I was expecting something else, and at the end of the day, the most interesting bit was just a "[REDACTED]" followed by a rather poor recovery log.
PRodgerMMath
I like this one for the most part, it's a nice take on Zombies. That said I do have a few issues with it.
The first is the over-complicated containment procedures. I don't think there's any good reason to have a variety of non-magnetic metals in the when you could have just one, or even plastic.
Further than that, the whole magnetic field thing could be replaced with a shelf. It would be cheaper, easier, less likely to fail, and there's nothing in the entry which suggests it wouldn't work.
Then there's the [Redacted] experiment log. I think there are very few places on this whole website where omitting a large thing is beneficial to the overall entry, and I definitely don't think that this is one of them. Doubly so because we're given the tease of it being interesting in the containment procedures, so finding [Redacted] when we get to it is a bit of a let down.
I think that the entry needs work, and more of a pay off, but there's definitely a solid core to the whole thing which has potential.
NetherGranite
I don't particularly have a problem with the fact that there wasn't some big payoff at the end. There are plenty of SCPs on this website that are simply an interesting scientific-journal-esque read and nothing more. I also really appreciate the obvious effort you put into this SCP.
That said, I must admit that I was also a little thrown off by the entire [REDACTED] experiment log. Although it would theoretically pique a reader's interest in the potential dangers of the object, in reality it felt more like a cheap ploy because as far as I could tell, you might not have even had an idea in your head of what occurred in that experiment. I would have been more convinced if at least some degree of context were given with information about the conclusion of the experiment being redacted.
Also, why does the recovery log require Level 3 Clearance? Why is it something the Foundation would want to hide from someone who has just read the experiment logs and the description of what the object is? Please excuse me if it's really obvious and it went over my head or something.

Eh. It's weird as fuck, which is always a positive, but I feel it really doesn't do anything with that weirdness. It's also a bit pointlessly deadly/aggressive, with pretty much any instance of it resulting in the same thing (except its final form, for some reason).
