 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Fæ (talk) 17:30, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hampsons
A tag has been placed on Hampsons requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Part of Cold War
I think thats the point, the USSR and China saw it as an extension of the cold war. As such it is part of (by proxy) the cold war. Which i belive was my point. Moreover the stated US aim was to stop the spread of Communism, again making it part of the wider US war against its 'communist' opponents. It was in part a war of independance, and in part a proxy war betwen the USA and the soviot block (including China of course). Much like the Spanish Civil war before it it was an internal strugle upon which out sode politics imposed itself (without regard for the realities on the ground).Slatersteven (talk) 13:45, 3 June 2010 (UTC) I was merely stating that it isnt as clear cut as that as not all parties involved (especially the actual Vietnamese population, who were doing most of the fighting and suffering the most, and who the War meant the most to. However, you might be right Witty Beast (talk) 10:32, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh there is no question that the local participants felt it was either a civil war or a war of independance.Slatersteven (talk) 13:55, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

is it right to describe it as part of the cold war then? Diem was a puppet of France then America, but Ho was never a puppet of the USSR or China by any means. Witty Beast (talk) 17:28, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. Whilst its true that Diem was a puppet of the west, and ho not so much a puppet of the communists. it is also true to say that both the USA and Russia were only intersted in the Vietnam was as a proxy war between themsleves. As such yes it is part of the cold war.Slatersteven (talk) 17:50, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

June 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Ward's Reservoir, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. •• Fly by Night (talk) 20:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

September 2010
