Kwantung instead of Kwangtung

I noticed the article speaks about "Kwangtung Army", while in fact it's "Kwantung Army", as per the wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwantung_Army

Can we change this? FatMax1492 (talk) 11:48, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Applodion (talk) 12:23, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That was my mistake, and I'm sad it lasted this long, Too bad we couldn't just call the Japanese one Kantō Army, but alas...I apologise. RGloucester — ☎ 13:13, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks for editing :D FatMax1492 (talk) 17:40, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding National Pacification army

I believe we should add the national Pacification Army into the Northern expedition as they did engaged in it. Laney145 (talk) 06:39, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry,I didn't see the NPA,plz ignore my discussion. Laney145 (talk) 06:41, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NRA victory or Nationalist Government victory?

The infobox currently states that this was an NRA victory, but usually don't we say the government/country instead of the army? Alexysun (talk) 01:54, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm saying is so shouldn't it be Nationalist Government victory or is there a nuance? Alexysun (talk) 01:55, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexysun: This is a valid question. As I think about it "Nationalist government victory" might actually be better, as many of the warlords (on the winning side) submitted to and even became part of the government, but did not properly join the NRA (though they were assigned official NRA designations). @RGloucester: you did the most to improve the article, what do you think? Applodion (talk) 09:15, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Applodion Thank you. Let's see what Gloucester says. Alexysun (talk) 18:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
