Octuple-precision floating-point format

Article created by User:\wowzeryest\ -- appears to be a vandal and/or COI user who is now redirecting articles to this one. One source only, and it appears to be a primary source. Believe the user is the primary source.

Articles which have been redirected to this article: Binary 256, Octuple-precision floating-point, Octuple-precision floating, Octuple-precision, Octuple-precision floating-point format arithmetic, Octuple-precision floating arithmetic, Octuple-precision arithmetic, Octuple arithmetic. It appears these articles were created because they would be search terms for a particular mathematical process that will now redirect to the user's pet/possible COI article? Very strange, but looks to be very suspicious, if nothing else. Also, see User page where this is their "manifesto":

"This is my (\wowzeryest\) user page. I created this as an extension of the Wikipedia. A reason for why I don't just use the regular Wikipedia is so I can make certain facts that are too controversial available on the internet (because, if i put them on the regular Wikipedia then my account might get suspended or worse). I also use this to beta-test new concepts to check their validity (don't worry, ill explicitly emphasize when something is beta-testing)...Currently, there is only 1 mathematical formula (theorized by me, but probably not originally) that I am beta-testing. There are no other things that are currently on display here...The following is a list of precursors you should know before continuing on: I always use the Cartesian coordinate system when I discuss or use vectors."

Delete Not notable, of little value, and could easily be combined with other coverage of high-precision floating point. Any sourced content could be covered in IEEE floating point, but I don't have a copy of the relevant standard to check the accuracy of this article.

Redirect to IEEE floating point and add a brief note there about it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:49, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
