Convert from Dab to Article[edit]

The title Second Phase Campaign might potentially be a Dab page for navigation to campaigns besides the Second Phase Campaign of the Korean War. However, creation of Second Phase Campaign (Korean War) as a Dab page between the two battles (neither called either "Second Phase Campaign (Korean War)" or "Second Phase Campaign") of the Korean War's Second Phase Campaign was ill-conceived. The accompanying stub Second Phase Campaign deserves to be fleshed out as an article covering the campaign as a whole, including such information about the two battles (and other aspects) of the campaign as is needed to help readers grasp the overall topic of the campaign, especially as to the relationship between the two battles. Presumably the respective articles on the battles each carries much information that is not needed to get an overview of the campaign.

Obviously the miles should be added in[edit]

all good historians on this topic know the deets. That the Chinese had pushed the UN forces on retreat down 200 miles approximate. Yet on this article, I noticed that there is not a single mention on how far the UN troops retreated. Not a single mention. There is no reason to not add that in especially to an encyclopedia that is meant to document all significant info. Lastly the second phase also captured Seoul, and is the second the time in the war it fell. Nowhere is that mentioned too despite it's not even disputable fact. It Happened and no reason to remove it because you dislike that historical fact. 49.179.183.11 (talk) 00:02, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The source you have provided is just once source, there are numerous reliable sources available about the war that do not confirm this figure. You say "all good historians on this topic know the deets" if that is indeed the case then you should have no trouble providing other reliable sources confirming this. Also you should read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, which states that the lead is a summary of the page and so if you want to add such detail you should put it in the body of the page and then summarize it in the lead.

Hidden edits[edit]

Hi! I'm not too sure if this is the place to ask, but I was looking at the recent history of this article, and there are a number of edits that are crossed out, and can't be checked. I've never seen that in a Wiki article before, and I was wondering why that was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ConfusedAndAfraid (talk • contribs) 02:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ConfusedAndAfraid, and welcome to Wikipedia. These crossed-out revisions contained a lot of libellous content, and was vandalism. As it was offensive, that particular revision of the article has been deleted. Kpddg ^(talk) 02:45, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If that's so why isn't there any mention of that fact in the talk page discussion that followed those edits? Was this something personally libellous against another user? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ConfusedAndAfraid (talk • contribs) 02:48, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Most likely, it was. Such offensive content removal need not be discussed on the talk page, and can be deleted by administrators.
