In the Vietnam War article, I happened to notice several instances of periods being outside of quotation marks, rather than inside. If I just saw one, I would have fixed it. What's the wikipedia policy on this?

Hey Gravity, I too wish to welcome you to Wikipedia. This is a great project and I hope you stick around.
British English puts the period outside the quotation marks. American English puts it inside. The latter would probably be most appropriate on Vietnam War; for more, read the current guideline at Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
