Let me explain how I got to this. I saw Experimentalist1732 being disruptive/vandalizing on Manifold (diff). I looked at their contribs, and saw their editing on Wave interference where in a series of edits (10) they modified what I think was an equation that made little sense (diff). On the same page I saw that DrDeusTrotterus made bunch of what I think are nonsense edits (8) to the same equation (diff). Looking at the joint contributions, I saw they jointly edited WikiProject Council/Proposals/Hypersphere Modes which is a new page (that appears to be possible nonsense) started by DrJSE on 30 December 2019. The Hypersphere proposal has 4 separate SPAs (that are mostly editing it, 1-2 other articles each at most) editing it - DrJSE (created), DrDeusTrotterus (similar name, first edit 1 Feb)), FinitisationOriginalConundrum (first edit 10 Feb), and Experimentalist1732 (first edit 15 Feb). I think it is very unlikely 4 new accounts show up together to edit a new WikiProject proposal, in particular since I think the proposal is possibly nonsensical. I request a CU to see if other accounts are involved. Eostrix (talk) 08:31, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Also - the contributions on commons.wikimedia.org are similar. All 4 users are uploading files with a "EgertonJS" prefix (by cross-wiki upload?). The files are being speedy deleted (and some appear quite odd).--Eostrix (talk) 08:38, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
