Evidence of notability?[edit]
The article tells us:
- During the Vietnam War he received acclaim from the mainstream media, and disdain from the American military, for his reporting on and photos of the effects American bombing of hilltribe villages in the remote mountains of Laos.
Evidence please, of (i) acclaim from the mainstream media, and (ii) disdain from the American military.
- Everingham published a story with graphic photos of bombed out villages in the Washington Monthly, a story that helped break open the secrecy surrounding the war in Laos and shed light on the innocent rural Lao and Hmong hilltribes being killed. [citation needed]
Specifics, please, of this story. And evidence that it "helped break open the secrecy surrounding the war in Laos and shed light on the innocent rural Lao and Hmong hilltribes being killed". (Note that this was requested six years ago.)
- Everingham gained international fame when he sought asylum for his Laotian wife, Keo Sirisomphone, by swimming her out of Laos under the Mekong River near Vientiane using scuba equipment.
Evidence, please, for this gaining of international fame.
The only permissible evidence is that published by reliable, disinterested sources. -- Hoary (talk) 22:25, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
