The article was created based on information from the French perspective, which contained the mistaken inclusion of the ''Sri Ayudhya'' and an extra torpedo boat in the battle. Most English-language sources repeat this mistake, in effect over-emphasising the French victory as they were (incorrectly) regarded as very outnumbered. Some of these details had been corrected, but most of the text hadn't been modified accordingly, and none of the article body is cited to a reliable source. The article needs to be thoroughly reworked to present facts from both sides as well as the discrepancies. It should also discuss the resulting differing analyses, with Western sources describing it as a decisive French victory, while Thai sources insist that the French failed to strategically achieve what they set out to. --[[User:Paul 012|Paul_012]] ([[User talk:Paul 012|talk]]) 15:07, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
