Talk:Ho Chi Minh

Semi-protected edit request on 21 August 2025

[edit]

Can the sock edits by Alberto Hula be reverted as is common procedure? This account has been banned as a sock of Sotavino after I reported it but its edits remain on the article. The account only made two edits where they deceptively and without reason removed a well sourced paragraph about civilian victims of the Viet Minh and French. They also restored a paragraph that was previously added by another of their socks word for word about the 1946 Election but had since been deleted as OR by another editor. They also randomly deleted a reference. See: [1]

Sotavino has targeted this page with three separate sock accounts in recent months. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sotavino. I would revert them myself but I'm unable as an IP editor. At the very least the well sourced paragraph about civilian deaths in the first Indochina War should be restored to the Viet Minh movement. The following text with references was removed:

Arthur Dommen estimates that the Việt Minh killed between 100,000 and 150,000 civilians during the war.[1] Benjamin Valentino estimates that the French were responsible for 60,000–250,000 civilian deaths.[2] 2405:9800:B860:781E:B002:C9D9:B932:4A21 (talk) 04:23, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can the two sock edits by Upermatter be reverted as is standard procedure? I reported this account at SPI and it has now been banned. Unfortunately their disruptive edits remain on the article and I can't roll them back myself. Among their changes, they deceptively removed a well sourced paragraph about civilian victims of the Viet Minh and French. They also falsified a source in the Land Reform paragraph, claiming "suicides" are part of the total. Their edit: [2].

Sotavino has targeted this page multiple times in recent months and made identical disruptive edits. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sotavino. The edit request on August 21 above was by me to get their last sock edits reverted which User:Greenknight dv thankfully did that time. 124.120.105.43 (talk) 06:28, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
