[edit]

"In Fetailed strategy from his prison cell, and the attack was led by a Cholon gang leader named Nguyen Van Truoc with Tri's assistance."

'Coronate' in homepage version

[edit]

The lead of the current version of this article refers to the subject planning to 'crown himself'. The version on the homepage says 'coronate himself'. As coronate isn't a word, can we have the homepage version fixed, please? AlexTiefling (talk) 01:51, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I considered it last night, but "coronate" is a word [1] [2], although "crown" is more common. Art LaPella (talk) 04:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

strange last alinea

[edit]

The articles last alinea is very fascinating, yet strange, apart from Phan himself being not someone i really heard or saw mention, there have been spiritualy motivated mass movements against colonialism by bunches there.. ok. Ofcourse. Yet it concerns a 'million' of people, and there is a whole 1(!) reference in all western literature. Strange? fascinating. Is there more? I think it would reward article's.80.57.67.243 (talk) 04:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Saltpetre,carbon and sulphur when mixed are gunpowder and the sentence on the bombs is unwieldy and unclear. For the bombs it should probably say "shot and homemade gunpowder". Certainly it should not say canon shot as that implies canon balls which would be most impractical. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.203.255.1 (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
