Comment: Applying a thesaurus to the draft doesn't solve the AI issue. Rewrite from scratch. Athanelar (talk) 22:08, 21 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Please remove all LLM-generated text; ideally you should start over from a blank slate without LLMs. We do not necessarily expect you to write perfect or polished English. If you need formatting help, see Help:Introduction to editing with VisualEditor and Help:Referencing for beginners. Note that merely rewording the existing LLM-generated text is unlikely to resolve the problem of LLM usage. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 06:25, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
