List of Anti War Publications

You've got a serious problem here. A lot of the listed publications came into existence a long time before Viet Nam. I also note you do not have a list of anti war publications for North Viet Nam. It would be nice to be a little more even handed (i.e. NPOV).24.10.102.46 17:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the link to Avor manhattan's book about vietnam.Bharatveer 15:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm. Are you sure you want a link to THAT book by THAT author? I wouldn't.24.10.102.46 04:49, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Any reasons? Bharatveer 05:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the man wrote anti-catholic conspiracy books that are currently being offered by Chick Publications (A dubious reference right there. Also, check out the misspellings on a supposedly intelligent website). Research on the man finds almost nothing except glorifying excessives: "The greatest writer in the world", "spent most of the rest of his life in banishment"(even AFTER the war and the death of Mussolini? Sounds more like exaggeration of a normal life choice).

At least one of his books about the wealth of the Vatican can be demonstrated to be (most likely) wrong by simple accounting. Yes, they took in a lot of money. NOT MENTIONED, they spent it almost as fast as it came in.

It's your call. I SUGGEST you don't use Manhattan, Chick, or any conspiracy theory as a reference.24.10.102.46 03:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Broken links

I was clicking some of the authors at the bottom of the page and found some broken links.69.6.162.160 15:57, 21 June 2006 (UTC)Brian Pearson[reply]

Operations?

What is the basic guideline for listing operations? The current list is woefully incomplete, unless you have some sort of size/scale parameter.Intothatdarkness (talk) 18:59, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:11, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

proxy war

To editor A bicyclette: The cited source says "...the Vietnam War was a proxy war between the United States, the Soviet Union — then growing rapidly in military power, confidence, and prestige — and communist China." and "...this particular Cold War proxy conflict...". Nobody cares about what's true. Stop edit warring. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:36, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks

This page contains numerous redlinks of battles that: (i) I can't identify; (ii) are covered elsewhere ; or (iii) lack RS and so will never have pages created about them. Many of these were added by an IP in December 2008 here: [1]. Accordingly I believe that all redlinks should be updated or deleted. Mztourist (talk) 04:48, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone ahead and made the necessary changes, 2 redlinks remain: Operation Baker which may have sufficient RS for a page and Operation Chicago Peak which does justify a page but I am unable to access the relevant RS. Mztourist (talk) 05:22, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
