Behavior

[edit]
  • Regularly adds excessive "see also" links (e.g., here & here; many of the linked articles (as can be seen in the second diff) are too broad and unnecessary).
  • Copyedits articles, which in many cases involves oversimplification of language.
  • Adds unnecessary links in article text (e.g., linking "20th century" (which is unnecessary) & linking "antisemitism" (which was already linked to earlier in the article)).
  • Doesn't communicate at talk pages.
  • Never uses edit summaries.
  • All three known IP ranges geolocate to Rochester, NY.
  • Mainly edits articles about race, war, and religion.
