The Battle of Osan was the first engagement between United States and North Korean forces during the Korean War, on July 5, 1950. A U.S. task force of 400 infantry supported by an artillery battery was moved to Osan, south of the South Korean capital Seoul, and ordered to fight as a rearguard to delay advancing North Korean forces while additional U.S. forces arrived in-country to form a defensive line. The Task Force lacked both antitank guns and effective infantry anti-tank weapons. Aside from a limited number of HEAT shells for the unit's 105-mm howitzers, crew-served weapons capable of defeating the T-34 had not been distributed to U.S. Army forces in Korea at the time. In the first encounter, a North Korean tank column overran the task force and continued its advance south. After the column had successfully breached American lines, the Task Force opened fire on a force of some 5,000 North Korean infantry approaching its position, temporarily holding up the North Korean advance. Eventually, North Korean troops overwhelmed American positions, and the remnants of the Task Force retreated in disorder. (more...)

The 766th Independent Infantry Regiment was a light infantry regiment of the North Korean People's Army that existed briefly during the Korean War. Trained extensively in amphibious warfare and unconventional warfare, the 766th Regiment was considered a special forces commando unit. Activated in 1949, the regiment trained for more than a year before the outbreak of the war on June 25, 1950. On that day, half of the regiment led North Korean forces against South Korean troops by land and sea, pushing them back after several days of fighting. Over the next six weeks the regiment advanced slowly down the Korean Peninsula, acting as a forward unit of the North Korean army. Suffering lack of supplies and mounting casualties, the regiment was committed to the Battle of Pusan Perimeter as part of a push to force United Nations troops out of Korea. The regiment saw its final action at the Battle of P'ohang-dong, fighting unsuccessfully to take the town from UN troops. (more...)

I'm sorry I didn't have time to get a support in before the article was archived at FAC. OTOH, prose wasn't much of an issue ... what we needed was more people showing up to review, and I'm not sure why that didn't happen, unless it was the fact that the A-class review was so long ago. In order to get some reviewers on board for your next round at FAC, one approach would be to run it through A-class again ... you could say that the technical reason is to review the A-class status. (I've recommended peer review a couple of times when A-class articles failed at FAC, but that hasn't worked well, we don't enough reviewers at peer review.) - Dank (push to talk) 06:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
- I changed my mind ... I don't think it would hurt in this case, but in general, we probably shouldn't encourage people to bring their own articles back through A-class a second time. So, either peer review or straight back to FAC (any time after the mandatory 2-week wait.) - Dank (push to talk) 02:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ed, I was browsing the above article after reading the one about Sharick and noticed this edit, which seems to contradict the Shadrick article. As it was added with a reference, I'm guessing it's not correct but seems to have slipped through the net. Nev1 (talk) 17:56, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
- It's an odd situation. I wanted to include in this article that Shadrick was wrongly ID'd as the first soldier killed in combat, and indeed the initial reports were that Shadrick had died as Osan, when in fact he died at a minor engagement slightly to the south at the same time. So, I was trying to reflect that at Battle of Osan. —Ed!(talk) 18:08, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
Reviewing your work[edit]
Hi Ed!. This isn't meant to be hostile, but, I feel blocked in reviewing your work because of the Battle of the Bowling Alley FAC. Given that I haven't been reviewing much recently, I'm not "up to date." Could you reassure me? Fifelfoo (talk) 02:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know what you mean. —Ed!(talk) 15:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- When Battle of the Bowling Alley went through FAC there was consternation and panic about the use of PD material as body text. I've checked this two or three times before mentioning it, as I remember my personal feeling of shock (having supported the FAC). Fifelfoo (talk) 22:12, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

As you have five or more DYK credits, you'll need to review another article at DYK before your nomination can be approved, per the QPQ rule: "Review requirement – Reviewing another editor's nomination is part of the nomination process for self-nominations. This makes it more likely that all nominations are reviewed in a timely manner. You may add your nomination before you undertake a review, but before it is approved, please review another editor's nomination and indicate at your nomination which you have reviewed, and (if you know how to do this) provide a link to the diff for your review. New nominators (those with fewer than five DYK credits) are exempt from this review requirement, as is the nomination of another editor's article. For help in learning the reviewing process, see the reviewers' guide." Once you've done this, just reply at the nomination page, stating what you have reviewed.
