Behavior
- 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.
