Andrevan's concern is in good faith but I have nothing to do with that user. 173.228.123.166 (talk) 21:58, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Have you edited under a prior user account or IP? Andrevan@ 22:00, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I've edited exclusively from IP's, for many years. 173.228.123.166 (talk) 22:01, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If you'd care to share some of that history then maybe we can dismiss this. Andrevan@ 22:02, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't how to find other recent IP addresses I've used (I know there was another one in the 173.* range but don't know what it was or how to find it). I can find some older ones from memorable edits if an SPI clerk requests it, but as a matter of principle, SPI should not be used for fishing.  My edits (including in physics) don't resemble that person's even slightly. Could the SPI clerks possibly look at this, to see how we got here?  Andrevan is acting in good faith but appears given to making groundless accusations.  He insinuates in that thread that several named Wikipedia editors who have been around forever are Russian agents.  This is more of the same.  173.228.123.166 (talk) 22:42, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * One person whom I reported, User:Mr. Daniel Plainview, turned out to be a sock, so I'm not completely barking up the wrong tree. Andrevan@ 23:05, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
This is misfiled and meritless. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:13, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
