Hi all, 

The user I mentioned above has been creating drafts and revising existing articles (380 edits, account created 22 November) about French WW2 military units (typically French Army corps). Interestingly, he has also participated in talk pages ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:5th_Army_Corps_(France)], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1st_Army_Corps_(France)], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:42nd_Fortress_Corps_(France)]), with AI-generated responses.. I haven't done a deep dive into whether his sources are hallucinated, but none of them have URLs or are CS1. He has also been adding navboxes to the articles, but they are made from tables + CSS (they won't uniformly update) and occasionally are named differently depending on the article.

Here are some of the articles that he has created. While it isn't as obvious compared to other AI-generated pages, the signs are still there and his talk page participation is damning. In draftspace, when his content gets denied for being AI-generated, is appears that he just regenerates it then resubmits it.
* [[Draft:42nd Fortress Corps (France)]]
* {{Oldid2|1328885702}}, [[5th Army Corps (France)]]
* {{Oldid2|1328884651}}, [[4th Army Corps (France)]]

:I'm the user in question. I'm a programmer, which explains my workflow: I use structural skeletons and batch-processing to handle large datasets efficiently. It's not AI.

:Regarding the feedback:
:* '''Templates & Collapse:''' I've already started replacing the CSS tables with proper templates and removed the "click to expand" feature to meet MoS standards. 
:* '''Sources:''' I use physical archives and specialized literature for 1940 OOBs. They don't have URLs, but I'll use CS1 formatting going forward.
:* '''Experience:''' I've done extensive work in other Wikis before; I'm not a bot.

:'''Note on timing:''' I received a message on my talk page at 20:41 (UTC) on Dec 24. I was reported here at 21:07 (UTC) the same day—only '''26 minutes later''', on Christmas Eve. I would have appreciated more than half an hour to respond to technical feedback before being publicly accused of using AI. I'm currently building a template library on my user page to fix all remaining issues. [[User:Lehrling18|Lehrling18]] ([[User talk:Lehrling18|talk]]) 01:07, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

::{{tqq|It's not AI.}} &ndash; You are using an LLM, if you continue to lie and edit in this manner using an LLM, an [[WP:ANI|ANI]] report will be opened which will most likely result in you being indefinitely blocked or [[WP:CBAN|cbanned]].

:::Weirdly, they seem to have vanished immediately after they were reported here. Prior to this, they were making multiple edits per day. [[Special:Contributions/&#126;2025-31416-56|&#126;2025-31416-56]] ([[User talk:&#126;2025-31416-56|talk]]) 19:05, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
