Song-Lý War
Created/expanded by TTTAssasinator (talk). Self-nominated at 07:45, 28 April 2017 (UTC).
 * ... that in the aftermath of the Song-Lý War, the resulting line of demarcation between China and Vietnam that was negotiated after the war "would largely remain in place through to the present day," resulting in most of the current boundaries between the two nations?.
 * ALT0b:... that in the aftermath of the Song-Lý War, the borders negotiated after the war largely remained as the current boundaries between China and Vietnam?.
 * ALT1:... that the Vietnamese poem "Nam quốc sơn hà" was cited by general Lý Thường Kiệt in front of his army during the Song Counteroffensive prior to the battle of Nhu Nguyệt River?
 * ALT2:... that during the Song-Lý War, after laying a forty-two day siege on Yongzhou (modern day Nanning), the Lý army massacred 58,000 people within the city?
 * ALT3:... that during the Song-Lý War, more than half of the 300,000 Song troops during the Song Counteroffensive died due to "tropical climate and rampant disease"? >


 * Symbol question.svg new enough, long enough, generally within policy with regards to neutrality and citation. I did add a cn request for the poem in "Aftermath", please add it before main page appearance. The first hook is, I feel, the most interesting to a broad audience, appears and is cited in the article, and the source (available through Google Books) checks out. The image has the appropriate copyright tag. Earwig detected no violation. HaEr48 (talk) 07:27, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I also added an ALT0b hook which is shorter than the original while conveying more or less the same info. What do you think? HaEr48 (talk) 17:17, 21 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I have added two citations to the poem in the Aftermath section to address the issue, and also think that the ALT0b hook is fine as well. TTTAssasinator (talk) 21:11, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Good to go now. Thanks. HaEr48 (talk) 01:25, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
