The article has quite a few redlinks. If they are to eventually be filled, a few stubs could be started. Otherwise, would it be wise to delink them as standard text?
Langtou most definitely refers to 浪头 in Liaoning Province. There is an airbase there, [1] and I found no other homophones for regions within the Manchuria area. See 浪头镇，辽宁 on Google Maps (Langtouzhen, Zhenxing, Dandong, Liaoning, PR China) Langtou is located within Dandong (formerly called Andong City[2]), and the Chinese name for Dandong Airport is zh:丹东浪头机场 (although I doubt this is the same airbase, this one appears to be exclusively a civil airport).
I would leave the red link on the medals intact to encourage other to write about Chinese military award system, given that I have no material to even start a stub. If someone have the materials then please help me to fill the information gap. Jim101 (talk) 14:56, 15 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Bad grammar - 'both China and Russia have took credit' should be 'both China and Russia have taken credit.'
