Battle of Dak To[edit]
Have made major modifications to this B-Class article. Hope it meets the criteria. RM Gillespie 15:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- The article is very complete and does a great job of covering the battle, but because it's so complete, the sections seem a bit long. I'd suggest adding subheads in each of the major sections to help break it down and make it a bit more accessible to the casual reader.
- The conclusion does a great job of building up to the siege of Khe Sanh, but according to the Vietnam War infobox, Dak To and Khe Sanh are separated by the Tet Offensive. Maybe you could have the article lead into Tet rather than the siege? This isn't my area of expertise, but the way the article is written implies that Dak To was leading up to a major offensive, of which Tet certainly was.

- Comment. I find a few issues with the article:
- The North Vietnamese (NVA) are referred to at least once in the article as the "enemy". Even though there may not be much info on the North Vietnamese side of the events in this article, we have to make sure to keep a NPOV tone in the entry as much as possible.
- The "belt-grabbing" technique used by the NVA isn't explained. What is it?
- There should be at least one citation in every paragraph.
