  • New enough and long enough. No images. Hook fact is cited, AGF on offline refs, but I'm a little confused. In the Background section, FAN is described as a 3rd force, non-Communist and non-Royalist. In the first sentence of the next section, it is described as pro-Royalist. This needs some sort of clarification: a reread leads me to believe that the Nuetralists split into pro-Royalist and pro-Communist factions, but this is not explicitly stated, and one or both factions could have maintained their non-aligned status. In fact, it is not even explicitly stated that the "Neutralists chose sides". Simon Burchell (talk) 13:04, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
  • Let's see if I have successfully untangled this snarl of alliances. The reader should now be able to see that FAN went from non-aligned to being helped by Communists to allying itself with the Royalists; Patriotic Neutralists split off to follow the Communists.

  • Thanks for that, it helps clarify what exactly was going on at the time of the split, and where allegiances were being formed. Much better, good to go. Best regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 17:57, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
