I have examined an extensive sample of the 2,950 edits you have made since you created this account almost 12 years ago, and also every one of your edits since your recent return to editing after an absence of two years. I found scarcely anything at all which could be regarded as a constructive contribution to the encylopaedia, but I did find much which wasted time of other editors, who could instead have spent the same time on more constructive tasks. I also saw no evidence at all that you have ever learnt anything at all from what has been said to you over the years, and you continue to make

The hekat sub-units were read by Tanja Pemmerening without error, correcting 100 years of confusion. The updated AWT and medical text methods and facts were first reported in independent 2002 masters, and then two 2005 PhD thesis (Vymazova, Pemmerening). The same class of major change continues to update the scope and content of Egyptian mathematics, re-connecting the highest hekat weights and measures, from which the medical texts created dja and other subunits were connected, to the parent

Knowledge (XXG) Egyptian mathematics discussions, before linkages began to improve the outdated reporting of the Middle Kingdom math texts. Early scholarly discussions (before 1927) had stressed minimalist additive views.

able to square a circle when working with hekats, I'll bet you get told squaring a circle can't be done and charges of original research even if you cite
Gillings because about 90% of the people editing the articles have never read the basic source material. Would it be useful to mention other examples as with architectural proportions?
456:(go ahead, click it), you'll see that the "Hekat" article has nothing to do with the hekat you're talking about. So I removed the "]" and said "wrong kind of hekat". Since there is no article about the unit of measurement "hekat", I had suggested that you consider creating one. I would help, but i'm math-retarded. -

In conclusion, it is time for
