• "File:18thARVNsoldiersatxuanloc by Dirck Halstead.jpg" The source is dead.

• (Comment) Added archive link. Kges1901 (talk) 18:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

  Kges1901, it's still dead. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

  Turns out that the photo is still available online, so I've added the migrated webpage address. Kges1901 (talk) 19:36, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

  Kges1901, cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:48, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• Image captions which are not sentences should not end in a full stop. (Period.)
  • Fixed. Mztourist (talk) 03:12, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
• Cite 5 has something wrong with the formatting - the publisher should not be in italics.

• (Comment) Made that small correction. Kges1901 (talk) 18:47, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Which variety of English is this written in? Gog the Mild (talk) 17:57, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• I've gone through and standardized to American English. Mztourist (talk) 03:47, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

I will do some copy editing as go through. As usual shout if I mess anything up.

I may be a little slower than usual in working through this one.

• "This was the ARVN III Corps' last defensive line of South Vietnam's capital" I suspect a missing word, possibly 'east'.
• The lead seems to jump a bit chronologically. See here for a suggested rewording. Feel free to edit.
• The name(s) of the North Vietnamese commander(s) should be in the lead.
• The "Viet Cong" are named as participants in the infobox, but on a skim I can't see them in the lead nor the main article.
  • Gog All done, thanks! Mztourist (talk) 03:25, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

• "all the provinces in South Vietnam's I and II Corps" This doesn't make sense.
• "all over the battlefield" Optional: → 'across the country'.
• "equipped with forty-two artillery guns" Each, or in total?
• "the 9th Infantry Division commenced their attack" "their" → 'its'.

Got to the end of Prelude. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:41, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

• "Trần Văn Hương was appointed President, and he was ordered to seek a negotiated peace with North Vietnam at any cost" Ordered by whom?

Mztourist, five last comments or queries. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:28, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Gog all done. Mztourist (talk) 04:10, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
