[edit]The reason I deleted the opening of the Overview section was that it was identical to the lead, and I would think it's a given there's not much point to copy-paste several sentences in the same article, especially when they're placed directly next to each other Loafiewa (talk) 09:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Recent activity
[edit]I'm concerned by the recent activity by three brand new accounts on this article. They are all making similar edits. I have already challenged some of their changes along with another editor but then a new account is created which edits this page. @Mztourist: as the creator of this article you might be interested in this.2.103.227.30 (talk) 10:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Fixing title and content
[edit]HI @Mztourist
There’s the sentence:
“Notable VC/PAVN incidents of terror include the Dan Son massacre, Massacre at Hue, Son Tra massacre and the Thanh My massacre.”
Does it say in the source that all of this is terrorism?
Additionally, the long list mentions PAVN attacks - where does it say in sources that this is terrorism?
The article should be renamed, as this is about the Viet Cong/NLF, not the PAVN. The original article in Viet only talks about Viet Cong/NLF attacks.
Not calling you out or anything - just hoping this could be fixed. Thank you. If I’m incorrect in anything, I apologise in advance.

- Its WP:BLUE that assassinations, massacres, indiscriminate fire, grenade attacks etc. are terror attacks. The VC were part of the PAVN and the list includes actions by both PAVN and VC. One of the main sources, Pike is titled "The Vietcong strategy of terror". Mztourist (talk) 06:43, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
