Arrest and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm
This article covers the arrest and assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem, teh first president of the Republic of Vietnam at the end of a coup. Hopefully, I will manage to get this to FA but Nov 2, the date when he was killed. Let the suggestions begin!  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 09:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support — Good stuff. I like the detail and the amount of ground you've covered. Looks like a pretty even-handed treatment of a fairly controversial subject as well. Good job on that. The only suggestions I have relate to the look of the article. Are there any more pictures available? Right now, it's pretty grey, and a few pictures or illustrations might help to break up the sections. JKBrooks85 14:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment (edit conf) Why are words bolded in the lead? Woodym555 14:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Those appear to be the key words in the title of the article. JKBrooks85 17:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * after a successful coup isn't in the title, and i don't think it serves much purpose anyway does it? When i first look at is it seems like placing emphasis randomly. Lead section says : (Title should be mentioned naturally as soon as possible.) If the topic of an article has no name, and the title is simply descriptive—like Electrical characteristics of a dynamic loudspeaker—the title does not need to appear verbatim in the main text; if it does, it is not in boldface: I think this clause applies here.

 * I have removed the bold for the reasons stated above. I also used the 24hour clock as per WP:MOSNUM. I now Support Woodym555 21:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Support. The article looks good. The only thing I am not sure about is as Woodym the bold links. Kyriakos 23:23, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
