[[User:Catgiraffe]], who has a total of 893 edits since 2022 at the moment, has made 189 edits this month. Almost all of their edits this month have been around 10,000 bytes and a few even reach up to 30,000 bytes. They are clearly not writing these recently as multiple 10,000+ byte edits occur within one hour. This does not rule out them having written all of this weeks or months before, but other evidence leads me to believe they are using AI. 

From [[Pat Buchanan 1996 presidential campaign]]: ''Buchanan's insurgent campaign was one of the major Republican stories of the 1996 cycle, especially after his victory in the New Hampshire primary, which exposed a sharp conflict inside the party between its establishment wing and a populist, nationalist right.''

From [[Ross Perot 1996 presidential campaign]]: ''The Reform Party's nomination process itself was unusual by major-party standards:'' the party allowed voting by mail, telephone and computer among more than one million eligible supporters, and Perot defeated Lamm by roughly a two-to-one margin in the final tabulation.

''Contemporary reporting in September 1996, however,'' stated that the Commission on Presidential Debates excluded Perot on the ground that he lacked a "realistic chance to win" the election, and that rationale became the basis of the campaign's subsequent litigation against the commission and the Federal Election Commission.

''The battle between Perot and Lamm became one of the central internal tests of whether the Reform Party would function as a genuine membership organization or remain, in practice, an extension of Perot's personal political movement.''

These are just a few examples of their odd prose that seems similar to AI generated text. They also place references at random places and a lot of their sources are malformed, as you can see on [[User talk:Catgiraffe]]. [[User:Jon698|Jon698]] ([[User talk:Jon698|talk]]) 02:28, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

:They've continued editing without responding to your post on their talk page. Every fake edit does further harm to Wikipedia.
