South Vietnamese General involved in a lot of coup attempts. Unfortunatly there is no info of what happened to him after he retired/was kicked out of the army YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 09:30, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
CommentThis is a really great article, but is it possible to find a source which says that nothing is known about Phat's life after 1965? Nick-D (talk) 04:11, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I don't know of scholarly work where the writer commented that they tried looking and found nothing, so probably, nobody cared once he was out of the picture as far as coups were concerned YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 08:32, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, fair enough and given your record of in-depth research I'm sure that you looked everywhere for sources. As such, I'm happy to support this article's promotion. Nick-D (talk) 10:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Concur that this is a good article. I did notice one or two small things (the Vietnam in South Vietnam isn't capitalized in at least one instance), but that was about it. You might wish to make it clear in the end section that no further sources on Phat's life after 1968 are available. But on the whole I can say support.Intothatdarkness (talk) 13:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment A1 is good except...
- Tucker, Spencer C. (2000). when cited in notes should indicate the article referred to, if the article was individually authored, the individual author, and the page range of the article separate to the page referred to specifically. Surely Tucker is an (Ed.) no? Other editors? Your page ranges (298–291; 526–533.) indicate strongly you're referring to two different specific articles.

- Considered going for multiple columns for your notes? Fifelfoo (talk) 04:05, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yup, should have tagged cashman and tucker as Eds all these years. Serves me right for using the odd tertiary source here and there eh? Replaced most of the Tucker with secondary alts. The only one remaining is a stats/records entry by Tucker himself; I made a copy of that page as it was highly useful...columned YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 06:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I think the lead has too many paragraphs. Currently it is five, but the maximum should only be four I believe per WP:LEAD.AustralianRupert (talk) 14:13, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Support:
- no dabs, ext links work, images all have alt text (no action required);
- images appear correctly licenced;
- before sending to FAC please check for US and British variations: I found "armored" (US) and "realized" (US), but you have some British spellings (e.g. "organised", "behaviour", etc.) – there might be more (this is only very minor, so I'm happy to support, but please take a look at this before taking the article further).
