Suggestions to trim article to within size guidelines
Hello everyone,
I and AI (ChatGPT4o) believe we can streamline the content to make it more accessible without losing essential information. Here are targeted strategies to reduce word count while maintaining informative quality:
Consolidate Similar Events: Group similar events, such as minor battles or operations with common outcomes, under unified subheadings to avoid redundancy and streamline the narrative.
Focus on Key Figures and Events: Limit detailed discussions to pivotal figures and major events, reducing coverage of less influential figures or lesser-known skirmishes unless they contribute significantly to the overall understanding of the war.
Streamline Background and Prelude Sections: Condense the background and prelude to focus on essential causes and geopolitical contexts, avoiding excessive detail on minor events leading up to the war.
Reduce Details on Military Hardware and Tactics: Summarize military technology and tactics briefly unless they are central to a key event, and consider linking to specific articles for those interested in in-depth details.
Trim the Aftermath and Legacy Sections: Focus on summarizing the main consequences and broad impacts, avoiding detailed discussions of various interpretations and long-term impacts unless highly relevant.
Use Summary Style for Subsections: Employ summary style for detailed sections. For example, sections on the home front or anti-war movements can be summarized with links to their detailed articles.
Edit for Clarity and Brevity: Revise the text to remove passive constructions, redundant phrases, and verbose language to improve clarity and reduce word count.
Check for Overlap: Ensure information repeated across different sections is consolidated to improve coherence and avoid redundancy.
We believe these changes will make the article more concise and focused, enhancing readability without compromising on the depth of information. I would appreciate any feedback or additional suggestions from the community, Tom B (talk) 16:36, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did a quick search of archives and in the first 20 hits for British I picked out one that related to British involvement? Also, I don't recall seeing it before as an issue. So, probably not. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mayaguez Incident true end of the Vietnam war May 15,1975.
The men killed and wounded during the Mayaguez incident are listed as Vietnam war causality's according to military government records. The deaths of these men are listed on the Vietnam memorial. Remove the phony date you have of April 30,1975 as the end of the Vietnam war as it is incorrect in every way. That is just the day they turned the cameras off in Sagon. 2600:1015:A004:F190:7920:2CE8:4767:E02A (talk) 15:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you contact the families whose sons died in the Mayaguez Incident and tell them the wiki decided April 30, 1975 is the end of the Vietnam war.  While the US government says they are Vietnam veterans killed in action during the Vietnam war. so obviously according to wiki their names should be removed from the Vietnam memorial and all the Vietnam awards they received should be returned.  2600:1015:A004:F190:F07C:8D8D:B48A:66C8 (talk) 16:36, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
