Non-Neutral Sources and Phrasing[edit]

The sources used for this page should not be regarded as neutral, as its reliant on sources which is disclaimed as Official US Military History. The sources used, internally, are from MACV Operation Reports which are notoriously unreliable or accurate in description of events, facts and figures, per Vietnam War body count controversy. Either the article should disclaim outrightly when this is used or cite better third-party sources. 45.62.243.176 (talk) 06:04, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you believe that then you need to provide WP:RS that offer alternative views. The page is based on multiple WP:RS. Mztourist (talk) 06:10, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The source that publishes it is a party in the conflict, and literally calls itself the "official US military history", published by them. There is absolutely no reason why this should be considered objective, reliable or even-handed, especially since the sources themselves do not dispute the primary sources it relies on, which have been disputed as factually inaccurate by third-party historians. This isn't presenting it as a neutral source if you are going to call it WP:RS. 45.62.243.176 (talk) 06:18, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As I said you provide WP:RS, but in any event: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/A bicyclette#06 November 2018 Mztourist (talk) 06:24, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even read what I commented? This reply addresses nothing of why the sources used are not an objective quality source for the specific subject. 45.62.243.176 (talk) 07:20, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
