I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: Two found, but I cannot resolve; Chau Thanh could be any one of nine possible districts with articles, Bình Mỹ could be either of two. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

• I have fixed that and added links for Chau Thanh (Kien Giang) and Binh My (Ca Mau).Canpark (talk) 07:49, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Linkrot: none found. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:43, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   I made a number of minor copy-edits.[1] Otherwise well organized and written.

   ''...to protect the important sea transportation routes which stretched from North Vietnam to the Mekong Delta region Do you mean "river" or "water" as I find it unlikely that the Viet Cong used long transits via the South China sea to reach the Mekong delta?

• • I clarified that sentence: I replaced the word 'delta' with 'river', I also clarify who used the sea routes to supply the Viet Cong.Canpark (talk) 07:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

1. OK, I think that will do.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   I assume good faith for off-line sources. It would be good to provide ISBNs, where available, but not a GA requirement.

   * I have fixed the references with a reference template, and added ISBN's wherever I could.Canpark (talk) 07:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Focussed and thorough

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   NPOV

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Suitable FUR and captions and licenses.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On Hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Wrong coordinates

Could someone please check the coordinates? Teh ones given in the article are definitely wrong as they point to a place northeast of Hanoi. --88.73.40.118 (talk) 12:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I think I found the right Binh Gia; coordinates have been corrected. --88.73.51.8 (talk) 13:16, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
