A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on November 6, 2005, November 6, 2006, August 27, 2014, August 27, 2020, August 27, 2021, August 27, 2022, and August 27, 2023.

A fact from Dương Văn Minh appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 August 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Vietnamese General Duong Van Minh had been captured by the Kempeitai during World War II and had all but one of his teeth knocked out during torture? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/August.

"were shot by Minh's bodyguard while trying to escape"

to "were murdered (by Minh's forces) after surrendering". Nhu was shot down like a dog while being transported in an APC. Dunno about Diem but I expect the execution was similarly cold-blooded.

The succession box for Presidents of South Vietnam is way off. I'm fixing it.--

I've just had a go, but it only seems to accept one term of office; maybe it's a metaphor for something... Richard 62.6.139.11 14:55, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is contradictory with the article about

. The latter states that the coup was in August, not in Jannuary. 193.171.121.30 17:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

It simply says 'Everybody and his brother had a plot' which is a clear figure of speech, as not all of the officers were involved, nor would they all have a brother necessarily. It is OR and flagrant falsification to say that Karnow means Nhut. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bumbubookworm (talk • contribs) 11:30, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
