AI-generated tag

Hi - I have added the AI generated tag here, specifically regarding the May 2024 edits here.

NOTE: This does NOT regard any other edits. Do not freak out about there being a template. However, as you can see by clicking that link, the text is scattered throughout many different sections, making it not feasible to add the tag to any one place.

The text here displays strong WP:AISIGNS, which are indicated in the template "reason" field, please read that and the linked text. I have not removed the text as it makes up a substantial chunk of the article. Pretty much all of it qualifies, all of the "pivotal role, fostering a blah blah blah" stuff. Since it is likely AI generated it also needs review for source-to-text integrity, as there is no guarantee the text is backed up by the sources it is cited to.

Thanks for flagging this up. I've removed the offending stuff; much of it was waffle, and some of it was a (poor) duplicate of existing material. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:01, 13 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
