[edit] Truong Dinh

A mandarin from Vietnam who gained fame by disregarding the Treaty of Saigon which ceded territory to France and battled on against the wishes of Emperor Tu Duc. His miltary activites are discussed, along with the ramifications of his disobedience. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 09:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

    • Under the section "french Invasion of 1859" you have the line "Napoleon's aims were primarily imperial, strategic and commercial, but he found it convenient to cloak in the reasoning of "freedom of religion"." Unless this is cited to reference #5 at the end of the paragraph could I bug you for a citation? The line sounds borderline POV without one.
I got about four from differnet books for you. :) Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Some parts of the article, particualrly the lower half, appear to be unwikifed. Can anything be linked to that hasn't already been linked previosly?
Most of the second half of the article is about Truong Dinh and his correspondence with Emperor Tu Duc and Phan Thanh Gian and his defiance of their orders. Most of the article is dissecting their letters and so forth. Not many properly nouns etc crop up that could be linked. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. But I would suggest you consider adding an infobox at the start of the article, either a mil bio or another type of bio infobox. Cla68 (talk) 03:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
