Blnguyen's 4 reverts and protection to keep some clumsy wordings in
User:Blnguyen has done 4 reverts and protection to keep his clumsy sentence in and to keep out the rewritten sentence.

Blnguyen's: "Diem put Can in charge of the central Vietnam, stretching from Phan Thiet in the south to the border at the 17th parallel, acting as a virtual dictator of the region."

Mine: "Diem put Can in charge of the central Vietnam, stretching from Phan Thiet in the south to the border at the 17th parallel, where the latter ruled as a dictator." Compare the versions 59.91.253.103 05:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

GA Sweeps (hold)
This article has been reviewed as part of WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found a couple of minor issues that should be addressed; namely:


 * The first reference in Downfall and execution is broken
 * The spelling of Vietnamese names varies. There is no actual policy for preferring one style over another (although the discussion here may be of interest), but spelling should be consistent thoughout the article.

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

 * Well I think I have done what is needed. I switched to diacritics, which might have been a bad move.  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 03:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

GA sweeps (pass)
Thank you for that. It looks fine to me, so I've passed the reassessment. Personally I think that using diacritics is the proper way to go, although I'm sure some will disagree ;) Anyway, nice job. EyeSerene TALK 13:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

The following biography of Lucien Conein is relatively recent and outlines his role in the 1963 South Vietnamese coup:

Perhaps someone more familiar with subject matter can tell where it might fill in the gaps. - Location (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
