Comments
[edit]- Lead&Infobox:
- Consistency. Are the belligerents UN or US and South Korea?
- Depends on the context. Politically, South Korea was not a part of the UN in 1950, so South Korea and the US had a joint military venture in the battle, per the infobox. But the South Korean troops fell under the United Nations command, per the text. —Ed!(talk) 04:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- Casualties. Don't add up with the Aftermath section. I count 1057 killed, 3085 wounded and 20 captured or missing. No South Korean casualties given.
- Fixed. —Ed!(talk) 04:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- Consistency. Are the belligerents UN or US and South Korea?
- Battle
- The part on North Korean conscription of South Korean civilians deserves a subsection. Possibly add a couple of sentences on their loyalty, combat value and desertions, possibly comparing these problems to similar problems for the 24th Infantry.
- T-34 picture. Perhaps change the caption to "T-34 tanks like this one..."
- Fixed. —Ed!(talk) 04:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- A map (or even a simple schematic) would help. I do not know Korean geography very well and the battle is difficult to follow for an average reader, who would not read the entire article in detail.
- Expanded. —Ed!(talk) 04:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- Aftermath
- Needs expansion. What was wider strategic impact of the battle? How did it affect the Battle of Pusan as a whole?
- Dab links: 25th Infantry Division, 25th Division, Armored Car, Haman need to be fixed D2306 (talk) 11:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- Fixed. —Ed!(talk) 04:36, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Closing comments
[edit]I think this is a good article. The only comment is again on South Korea losses. Probably a quick mentions that some of the 40,000 casualties of the Battle of Pusan occurred there.D2306 (talk) 11:32, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
