[edit] Initial construction

I'm not sure how to tackle this one, but I thought that if somebody started others would go with it. I honestly don't mind how other users take it, as undoubtedly other people with have new ideas, but I forsaw it being set up in this way. Please feel free to lend a hand!

I've layed out the sections as I think they should be, and have begun copying rough info from the parent articles, but its a LONG was from being ready! SGGH ^speak! 11:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Getting there, just two sections to finish copying info from, then it needs to be meshed in together, I'll put up a clean up and copy edit tag for that SGGH ^speak! 15:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:New Zealand forces with Viet Cong prisoners during the Vietnam War.jpg

Image:New Zealand forces with Viet Cong prisoners during the Vietnam War.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Oceania?

Apart from the fact that I've never met anyone in or from 'Oceania' who calls it that, this seems to be mostly a military history of Australia and NZ with occasional mention of the rest of the Pacific. I'll try and fix it up a bit... --Helenalex 15:43, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
