These users all have in common a behavior of advancing crank (i.e. nonsensical) formulae for the area or circumference of an ellipse, using run-on sentences. The first IP started it off with Talk:Ellipse/Archive 2. The next IP continued it with Talk:Ellipse/Archive 2. Now the third IP and the account have tried anew at Talk:Ellipse. The IP's all geolocate to the northern San Joaquin Valley of California and, in view of how the first IP was blocked for this kind of behavior, it should at least be recorded that this user has a history of this and therefore should be given little leeway for continued such behavior.

 * No question that the latest IP is the same person (effectively admitted here), but it seems like accidental logged-out editing. I'm not going to do anything with the two other IPs since they're both years-stale. I gave the master a uw-login but will not take further action. If the master is being disruptive with their opinions on ellipses then that should be taken to an appropriate venue. GeneralNotability (talk) 14:58, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
