Revision as of 07:00, 18 April 2024 edit65.79.140.182 (talk) Deleted "purges" which has no citation, nor link to supposed purges. Changed land reform section to be in line with associated article and a researcher. Deleted re-education camps, it might include massacres, but alone is a penal system. Deleted Nhan Van–Giai Pham affair as I can't find any evidence it was a massacre. Changed Huế to be in accord with Eng and Viet articles. Changed highway 1 to be inline with article. Deleted boat people as it wasn't a massacre. Reminder: atrocity =/= massacre.Tags: Reverted Visual edit ← Previous edit		Revision as of 11:04, 18 April 2024 edit undoMztourist (talk \| contribs)Autopatrolled, Extended confirmed users72,344 edits Undid revision 1219519508 by 65.79.140.182 (talk) no consensus for this, take it to TalkTags: Undo nowiki addedNext edit →
