Vietminh

If we are all interested in history, then we need to be precise. There is no such thing as the Vietcong they were called the Vietminh.

Vietminh was pre 1954. Vietcong is the common name for the NLF. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA on Hold

I am placing this article on Hold until the following issues are addressed adequately:

  1. One of the few problems I can see in this article are the lack of references. For an article this size, more than 7 references are needed. See if at least 10 can be found, and inline-cited.
    Hi. I think I have gotten some more books for you. Unfortunately, the bombings were not planned in particular detail, so most books have the info, except that it is in excerpts of 2 pages, so each book is only reffed one distinct time. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Everthing else seems fairly good, but it is possible that the lead might need to be broken down a bit; it is a bit bulky. The previous is not a necessity however, it is just a suggestion based on my observations.
    I broke this into two, so that hte politcal implications were separate.

Feel free to leave me a message when concerns are addressed. Cheers, and best of luck making the needed improvements. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA pass

As a result in an increase in references, and some improvements to the lead, I have passed this article. the possible improvements I stated in the above hold section still stand, however - more refs would be nice, and the lead, while better, may need some slight tweaks to its actual length and weight. Congratulations to all those involved in improving this article to Good Article standard. Any questions or comments should be directed to my talk page.

I'm not sure if this fits in the article, but Pham Duy wrote a popular song which eulogized Quoc, called Huyền Sử Người Mang Tên Quốc (Epic of a Man Named Quoc) [1](English). One of the lines recalled "You soared up to smash the tyrants". DHN (talk) 20:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
