Orphaned references in December 1964 South Vietnamese coup[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of December 1964 South Vietnamese coup's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "l":

From Nguyen Chanh Thi: Langguth, pp. 108–109.
From 1964 Brinks Hotel bombing: Langguth, pp. 326–327.
From 1960 South Vietnamese coup attempt: Langguth, pp. 108–109.
From Ton That Dinh: Langguth, pp. 289–291.
From 1962 South Vietnamese Independence Palace bombing: Langguth, p. 99.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction[edit]

The introductory section is quite long and detailed, and might benefit from a bit of brevity. If no one else is able to get to this, I'll try to help out when I get the chance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.170.99.212 (talk) 08:26, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather not, as the political chicanery was rather complicated YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 01:03, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
