Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to First Battle of Loc Ninh— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

re your email re 'First Battle of Loc Ninh' page
Further to your post at the Teahouse (linked to above): thank you for emailing me directly with your concerns about the naming of First Battle of Loc Ninh, in which you say that there was an earlier battle in 1966, and that the article is therefore misnamed. Recognising, sir, that tomorrow is a very important day for you and your fellow Vietnam veterans on the 52nd anniversary of the 11th June 1966 battle at Lộc Ninh, I have tried to assist you by doing the following:
 * I have raised your concerns at Talk:First Battle of Loc Ninh
 * I have added a 'Hatnote' to Battle of Loc Ninh to distinguish that page from First Battle of Loc Ninh
 * I have posted a request for specialist editor input at WikiProject Military History
 * I have emailed you back to invite you to send me a scan or even a photograph of the relevant pages of the book and journal references that you cited. All I can probably do is make an initial assessment and any changes as appropriate. But I'm a Brit with no expertise in this area, so am a little out of my depth and can only go on what published sources have stated.
 * I advise that we do keep all relevant discussions on the talk page (at Talk:First Battle of Loc Ninh). That way, everything we say is public and other editors can see that and also make their assessment of your request to rename the article Second Battle of Loc Ninh.
 * Respectfully yours, Nick Moyes (talk) 22:13, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
