IP 70.55.11.97 began making edits on 10 September 2020 to South Korea in the Vietnam War with this: [[1]], adopting the same referencing style used by A bicyclette of <ref name=":0">. The edits follow a familiar pattern of denigrating South Korean forces as mercenaries and highlighting accusations of war crimes in Vietnam. The IP then edited Hà My massacre here: [[2]] deleting "purportedly" a favourite point of contention for A bicyclette here: [3] and adopting the same <ref name=":0"> referencing style. The IP then edited Binh Tai Massacre here: [[4]], adopting the same <ref name=":0"> referencing style. I would also note that the IP geolocates to Ontario, Canada, many of the IP socks belonging to A bicyclette also geolocate to eastern Canada. WP:DUCK. Mztourist (talk) 03:55, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. Well that's my edits on a different IP. If you are accusing me of being someone else, you are mistaken. I don't have an edit history because my IP autoswitches but I do edit other articles throughout wikipedia. For example this IP has no edits to its history.
The user reverted the edit he found problematic, the word "purportedly" in a sentence, which i didn't think was a neutral term. I am fine with leaving it there and won't argue if its such a big problem for the user. My edits were mostly aimed at Korea-Vietnam diplomatic relations, domestic Korean politics and activity by the Korea Vietnam Peace Foundation/civic groups between countries. There was one small edit on one page which coincidences with another user. I invite any mods to look at the other edits I made which was not problematic or contested in any way.
I also used the autogenerated reference tool on the visual editor so its strange this user is accusing me of having the same referencing style as another user. By the way is this user even aware of how big in size and population Ontario is? There's 15 million people that live here. 70.55.8.116 (talk) 20:37, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
