User:Mmackinnon and I (User:Kwekubo) have been engaged in discussion on Talk:Anesthesiologist for the past several weeks regarding the content of both the articles Anesthesiologist and Nurse anesthetist (specifically, regarding the definition of "anesthesiologist"). I initiated a request for comment on the matter on 17 September to broaden discussion beyond just the two of us. The following day, an anonymous user at the IP address 174.44.140.232 edited the Nurse anesthetist article to remove references Mmackinnon had added, and did the same at the Anesthesiologist article. A few minutes later, the IP posted on the Administrator intervention noticeboard reporting Mmackinnon for vandalism - the report was evidently copied from an entry further up the page, with Mmackinnon's name added but preserving the signature of a different user. Then, the IP edited the report, adding my username Kwekubo to the signature. Just a few minutes later, Mmackinnon reverted the IP's edit at Nurse anesthetist (with the edit description reading "Now valdalism Newark NJ. Thanks.") and also reverted the IP's edit at Anesthesiologist. My interpretation of events is that Mmackinnon took exception to my starting a request for comment, and made edits at WP:AIN to make it seem like I was making a frivolous request for administrator intervention. It is extremely suspicious to me that Mmackinnon appeared to know where the IP address was making edits from. I would like a CheckUser to confirm whether Mmackinnon is editing from 174.44.140.232, and attempted to impersonate me from that address. Kwekubo (talk) 19:13, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
