We got ourselves a 21k edit count editor here. Markdown in and , disambig links, Charlemagne Tower, Tours No sources establish a definitive chronology and exact dating of the tower's construction. is almost nostalgic slop at this point. Fermiboson (talk) 19:20, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

also triggered filter 1325 in Special:AbuseLog/45072560 (8 Sept), effectively took a break between Feb and Sept, Special:Diff/1364456175 (16 July) uses "razing" instead of "raising", this seems limited to Sept Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 21:57, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Added markdown just now in Diff/1379519123 (log) to Draft:Hôtel-Dieu de Bourges, the edit is also almost 5 kB and was produced in two minutes. So this is still ongoing.

More markdown in Diff/1377028212 (log) and Diff/1377286684 (log) to Noirlac Abbey. ‑‑gurkubondinn 13:27, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

Just denied using AI (or even knowing what it is) in § October 2026 on their talk page: Diff/1379522229.

A block might be needed, I'm not buying it that a long-term editor with 21,5k edits has suddenly forgotten that Wikipedia uses wikitext markup. ‑‑gurkubondinn 13:32, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

True, I keep forgetting about that. No attribution though. ‑‑gurkubondinn 14:02, 10 October 2026 (UTC)
