The accused sock puppet account created Joshua ben Joseph (revision), which redirects to Jesus. Looking at the deletion logs for this page, three accounts did the exact same thing in 2016 - The redirect was deleted each time and all three accounts were blocked for being sockpuppets of. I'm creating in order to get more eyes on this and get input from others.

I just received an email from this user, email is basically the content of Peter Nguyen Van Hung, which is one of NDC's "favorite" articles.

Father Peter Nguyễn Văn Hùng (chữ Hán: ; born November 21, 1958) is a Vietnamese Australian Roman Catholic priest and human rights activist in Taiwan. He was recognised by the United States Department of State as a "hero acting to end modern day slavery".

Early life
Nguyen Van Hung grew up in a lower middle class family outside of Bình Tuy Province in South Vietnam, with two brothers and five sisters; his father was a fisherman, but died after a long battle with illness, forcing his mother, a devout Catholic with roots in the country's north, to become the family's main breadwinner. Nguyen Van Hung himself absorbed his mother's faith and devotion. He was an admirer of Saint Francis of Assisi, and reportedly stole food from his own family to feed to the poor.

He left Vietnam in 1979 on an overcrowded boat; rescued by a Norwegian ship after just 36 hours and taken to Japan, he joined the Missionary Society of St. Columban upon his arrival.

He lived in Japan for three years, studying and taking a variety of jobs to support himself, including as a highway repairman, steel factory worker, and gravedigger. He first came to Taiwan in 1988 as a missionary, after which he went to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia to study at a seminary. He was ordained in 1991 and returned to Taiwan the following year (in 1992).

Work in Taiwan
Nguyen Van Hung established the Vietnamese Migrant Workers and Brides Office in Taoyuan County (now Taoyuan City) in 2004 to offer assistance to Vietnamese immigrants in Taiwan. Vietnamese American radio station Little Saigon Radio and others helped him to rent the second floor of a grammar school; two seventy square foot rooms offer sleeping space, while two others are used for office space. They provide Mandarin classes, room and board, and legal assistance.

Nguyen Van Hung's exposure of abuses against foreign laborers and brides led the United States Department of State to list Taiwan as a "Tier 2" region alongside countries such as Cambodia due to their lack of effort in combating human trafficking, which proved a major international embarrassment for the island's government. His work has also made him the target of intimidation in Taiwan.

To my knowledge the username is extremely similar to this sock master's pattern, but it's unlikely for this master to make an edit like this one. Checked the edits at zhwiki and those do not fit into Nipponese Dog Calvero's behavior. With that said the account should still be blocked because of the abusive username and clear intention of vandalism. -★- PlyrStar93  → Message me. ← 22:52, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
