The way that Unit 42 wrote the report referenced here (https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/shadow-campaigns-uncovering-global-espionage/) stood out to me as very unusual so it's good to have confirmation that it was, in fact watered down.
It was so obvious in that report, which includes specific descriptions of campaigns, targeting, and motivation across 15+ different countries, that it was a Chinese state-aligned actor. (At one point in the report they even specifically said "Sino-Metals Leach Zambia". I guess people can CTRL-F for "China" but not "Sino"...) They were so specific in this report that them trying so hard to avoid saying the word "China" by itself spoke volumes.

and little interest in the fact that the ideology and technology they're supporting is actively destroying learning and opportunities for people who actually do have barriers

https://archive.is/Xfyni"rejecting AI contributions is gAtEKeePInG"11!1!1!!11!!
The "democratization" arguments for AI contributions fall over when this is the behaviour in practice that you witness. Is giving everyone an automated spam and harassment machine that wastes open source contributors' time, and makes them want to quit, democratization?

I sometimes wonder, in the past 3 or so years, if there was a mass effort to rewrite history on Wikipedia, and to make leftist theories scary to the lay.@fromjason Ugh, sorry you ran into this; this is a great example of some password reset spammers ruining things for everyone else

If you are still willing to go down this rabbit hole, and are able to create a new account, that is what I would recommend doing. Wikipedia is super anal about only having one account per user, but losing your password is one of the legitimate cases where it's acceptable to have multiple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry#COMPSOCK

As with many other projects on wikipedia it's only a small handful of dedicated contributors, so any new editors would be awesome!

Account creation is a really simple process, but are many wikipedians here who are willing to help with it if there are issues

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to “evaporate” in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.
