I have read the Kwon online article and do not believe that it can be regarded as WP:RS. The article was a contribution to an online magazine in 2007 and so doesn't appear to have been subjected to editorial scrutiny. Many of the sources relied on are Vietnamese and so are inherently unreliable. There are no references given whatsoever for the account of the massacre itself, the entire account takes place between footnotes 27 and 28. The majority of the article is actually devoted to a more general discussion of the treatment of Vietnamese civilians in free-fire zones, discussion of the My Lai massacre, a lot of unverified personal accounts and a lot of implication and inference.

It seems to me you removed book citations, and again the fact is that you aren't qualified to rule out articles based on their sources. you aren't the judge of reliable sources. go take it up with WP:RS because you are WP:OWN articles. 66.229.17.212 ( talk) 14:02, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
The word "purportedly" is correct because this is an alleged massacre based on minimal WP:RS and so may or may not have actually occurred. This issue has been tagged since May 2015. "Ha Gia massacre" should not be included on this page because such event lacks WP:RS and its inclusion here is an attempt to create guilt by association. Mztourist ( talk) 08:47, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
Look, I don't care whatever weasel words you want to use, but you have no discussion or consensus behind this issue. you are not right to remove cited works and academic publications because you don't feel it is wp:rs. go take it to the proper channels before you do such changes as remove content. 66.229.17.212 ( talk) 14:03, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
152mm was not a caliber used by Allied forces in Vietnam, other than on the M551 Sheridan, but it was a Soviet caliber. Also helicopters (other than the CH-47 and CH-54 which the Koreans didn't have) didn't drop napalm and in fact its unlikely that the ROK forces would have had any access to napalm as there were no ROK Air Force attack planes deployed in South Vietnam.
