There is a large-scale ongoing action to remove Vietnamese diacritics from articles' titles. The given reason is that these are rare in published English and reference is made to this, by my understanding quite far from the consensus move request. I would kindly ask what is the WP:VIETNAM's position regarding these moves and if there are any relevant guidelines about using Vietnamese diacritics in Wikipedia.

Is anyone actively using this list of search results? It was set up in 2008 and hasn't been modified since. It contains a huge number of false results, which is why I'm guessing it isn't very valuable. tedder ( talk) 11:47, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I propose that the icon representing WikiProject Vietnam, the one that displays on the each project member's page, be changed to an image depicting the national map of V-N, with a Dong Son drum design in the background. I feel that representing the group with the red flag and yellow star is not representative of every member of the project, nor entirely representative of the entire Vietnamese people and Vietnamese nation, as many, many Vietnamese are opposed to the current Communist regime ruling Viet Nam today, inside (secretly, due to fears of persecution), and outside (very publicly) of Viet Nam, and are offended of using the flag or depictions of it. Instead of using the flag, my suggestion would be the best alternative, as it is entirely representative of the Vietnamese Nation, especially our history, and would appease all Vietnamese regardless of their political views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nguyen1310 ( talk • contribs) 23:57, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

An earlier requested-move survey generated lots of controversy and an arbitration case. Therefore, this one is being posted here and in many other places, to gather a very wide range of opinions outside of the Scotland and Australia WikiProjects. |
A requested move survey was started at Talk:Perth_(disambiguation)#Requested_move, which proposes to move:
Background: There was a previous requested-move survey which ran from late May to mid June. There was a great deal of controversy surrounding the closure and subsequent events, which involved a number of reverts and re-reverts which are the subject of an ongoing arbitration case. There was a move review process, which was closed with a finding that the original requested-move closure was endorsed; however, the move review process is relatively new and untried. — P.T.

I will create these articles using the data at here (there are about 10.000 villages and townships left). But I dont known clealy the rules. So I propose some cases
In general, their names should be [village name, province name], instead of [village name, district name] the priority as:
Some cases, there are two or more villages have the same name in a province such as:
The name should be [village, district, province]: An Hiệp, Chau Thanh District, Ben Tre or An Hiệp, Chau Thanh, Ben Tre.
A district sometime have one township and one village which have the same name. The name should be: [name (township)] and [name (village).
Is there any proposal? Thank in advance.-- Cheers! ( talk) 04:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Yes they look good, but if you could use Hưng Khánh Trung A as it is now exactly, I've made some changes, tidier infobox, no need to put density in text, that can go in infobox and coord missing link see the change here. If you could list the communes in the template and make templates as you go through each province this would be great. Can you go through the few you created so far and replace with this texting, but you'll need to remove the coord missing for communes which you have coordinates for. If you could do that and continue and gradually fill out the commune list you created and template as you go, this method of creation would be perfect. We would be greatly appreciative of you putting an article on every commune on here in English and a superb way to start trying to cover the whole of Vietnam in English which has never been covered in this way before.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:46, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
Since we have a Sea of Japan naming dispute article, should a companion article be created for the South China Sea naming dispute ? As it is the "South Sea" (PRC/ROC), "East Sea" (Vietnam), "West Philippine Sea" (Philippines) and "South China Sea" (internationally/HK). As the Philippines and HK are English speaking localities of the region, and Vietnam uses "East Sea" internationally in English, there seems to be enough to work from. -- 76.65.131.248 ( talk) 03:15, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Hán tự is a Vietnamese word that translates directly as "Chinese character." I don't see any RS using it the way we do in the articles. I think it is superfluous. A reader who can't tell it's a Chinese character by looking at it won't know what a Hán tự is either. The article on Tokyo opens "Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō, "Eastern Capital")." The writing system is not labeled as "kanji" or anything else. Kauffner ( talk) 14:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

The Chicago Manual of Style gives the examples of "Qing dynasty" (§11.110), "Ming dynasty" (§11.108), and "Shang dynasty" (§8.71), explaining that these are considered eras rather than political divisions. But they also give "Eighteenth Dynasty". It says "some period names are capitalized, either by tradition or to avoid ambiguity" (§8.71). They give a list of twenty names, so I would conclude that otherwise the rule is not to capitalize. Google Ngram suggests that both "Tudor dynasty" and "Romanov dynasty" are generally lower cased. The ngram for " Nguyen dynasty" shows a narrow majority for lower casing. Kauffner ( talk) 10:23, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

The Vietnamese words, Sông Hương have officially been translated as “Perfume River”. However, as cited in the Wikipedia article “PerfumeRiver”, the Hán nôm, Chinese characters (simplified 香江) or traditional 香河 mean “Fragrant River” [1]. The first character 香 is fragrant [2] and the second 河 river. The Chinese characters for perfume are 香水. Similarly Hong Kong 香港 was named the “fragrant harbor” [3].

Personally I would like to see Ba Dinh Square and DRV Declaration of Independence 2nd September 1945 discussed and searchable on Wiki Indexing. Ho Chi Minh moved 2 days early because he was tipped off the Allies were going to conveniently forget FDR's Cairo Convention promise that "all allies who helped the Allied cause of war must have a right to referendum to decide if they want independence, stay with mother countries or join another in union". OK Truman in Potsdam Convention after FDR conveniently died, forgot Ho Chi Min and General Vo Nguyen Giap (who 2013 died aged 102 years) as the then Viet-minh of North Vietnam had constantly aided the allies ~ rescuing downed airmen and delivering to afe allied hands in China and Laos. Had even allowed an OSS (Former CIA) Radio Operator take up residency in their Jungle base to feed intelligence of Japanese Invasion Forces activities in the former French Indochina protectorate of North Vietnam then called the Tonkin Vietnam Nation or Province I am unsure.
American Wikipedia editors appear to have deleted all reference to these facts as no search I do could find them and all I wanted was the date of the Ba Dinh Square declaration of DRV independence at end of WW II.

Hello, please can a Vietnamese reader take a look at the Vietnamese language source on Debbie van der Putten - a new editor removed this announcing it was "unreliable" but it doesn't appear so to me. I highly doubt he reads Vietnamese, and Google Translate won't touch the site with a bargepole (although I tested some sections of text from various pages and didn't really see anything to suggest unreliability.) If you can comment on Talk:Debbie van der Putten regarding the source, I'd be really grateful - I am using it solely as evidence that the subject is internationally recognised as a disabled model, rather than to support anything in-depth so unless it is super-ultra-blatantly unreliable, I don't see a problem with using it.

Given the existence of Little Vietnam, Little Hanoi, Little Saigon, Overseas Vietnamese and various pages of Vietnamese in specific countries (e.g. Vietnamese American, Vietnamese Australian, Vietnamese people in France, etc.), I've wanted to clean up the articles a bit. I began by consolidating and summarizing the list of named enclaves in the Little Vietnam/Hanoi/Saigon articles into a list User:Yellowtailshark/List of Vietnamese enclaves, cross-checking the sources and adding as much details for the citations as possible (the current citations in the existing articles are sparsely populated).
The Little Saigon article suffers from listing enclaves for which there is no citation on the name "Little Saigon" ever being used to reference the local enclave, or contains enclaves called "Little Vietnam"; I guess one can argue that Little Saigon has become a kind of noun to refer to any Vietnamese enclave regardless of political orientation, but I feel that is VERY presumptuous. In my vetted list, I made note of the places that lacked citable sources and put N/A for when I could not find usage via Google. While I could remove these non-cited listings, such as Atlanta, Georgia, I wonder if such information should be moved into the Vietnamese American article which can talk about specific enclaves in the United States. Or should there be a List of Vietnamese enclaves main article (as a corollary to Overseas Vietnamese) to allow for any enclave, regardless of name (or unnamed)? And if so, does this make the Little Vietnam/Hanoi articles mere Template:Refer lists (e.g. Arlington?

Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

I noted this AfD discussion, in which several participants referred to the rules regarding notability for football players, which include having played in a fully professional league. These leagues are listed at WP:FPL. Looking at the list, I see that no Vietnamese leagues are listed, not even V-League 1, which I had assumed was fully pro. Does this mean that no Vietnamese footballers will ever be considered notable enough for their own articles, barring those that have played outside Vietnam? Or is this just an oversight? Can anyone comment on V-League 1's professional status? -- dragfyre_ ʞןɐʇ c 20:50, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

We have had a discussion before about politics in talkpage banners and other pictures relating to this Wikiproject, and I believe the consensus is that we should have neutral banners that depict recognisable aspects of Vietnamese culture. But the current proposed banners reintroduce political themes and I think they should be removed. Project members are free to include such images on their own talk pages, but the project should remain welcoming and open to everyone who is interested in improving Vietnam-related articles.

Our article Empire of Vietnam currently includes in its lead the text "Vietnamese: Đế quốc Việt Nam; Hán tự: 越南帝國". I don't know the first ing about the Vietnamese language, but even I can tell that "Đế quốc Việt Nam" and "越南帝國" are the inverse of each other, as "越南" means Vietnam and "帝國" (read "di guo" in Mandarin, "tei koku" in Japanese, and so on) is clearly the Chinese character rendering of the word for "Empire" that in modern Vietnamese is apparently written as "Đế quốc".
I thought to check vi.wiki but those guys have the same problem.
Am I missing something? Is Hán tự supposed to just be the Classical Chinese spelling without regard for Vietnamese grammar?

As part of a class assignment at my university, I am planning on making revisions to the article Women in Vietnam, which is a top-importance article in this WikiProject.

Furthermore, additional information regarding what I plan to add can be found on my sandbox page.

Please can someone take a look at the articles created by new contributor Nguyen dao? I am concerned that there is a lot of copy-pasting from sources, as per their edits to Le Chan which had to be deleted and hidden. They have gone on to create three more articles, Nguyen Khac Nhu, Nguyễn Huy Tự, and Nguyễn Hữu Cầu. Nguyen Khac Nhu certainly seems notable, but there are issues with sourcing, and I noticed that the editor copied and pasted text from a source again despite being warned about this before. The other two - particularly Nguyễn Hữu Cầu - do read like they have been copied from somewhere, or are at best direct translations from Vietnamese sources.
As I can't read a word of Vietnamese, I am asking here if someone would be prepared to take on this editor and try to help them understand how to edit Wikipedia, and perhaps help them with improving their articles and contributing correctly? Their subjects do seem notable, and I could see enough from a machine translation of the Vietnamese Wikipedia sources to confirm that there seem to be plenty of sources in Vietnamese for Nguyễn Hữu Cầu.

The only source cited by the article is the list of districts on Statoids that includes Tân Thạnh District, Long An Province and Tân Thành District, Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu, but no Tân Thành District in Đồng Tháp Province. The "corresponding article" linked to on the Vietnamese Wikipedia is about the one in Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu Province and I couldn't find any article on the Vietnamese Wikipedia about a Tân Thành District in Đồng Tháp Province or even mentioning such a district's existence.

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

At Bánh mì#Terminology we are told first that "the word bánh mì is derived from bánh (which can refer to many kinds of food, including bread) and mì (wheat)". Then we're told "The word is likely derived from the French 'pain de mie' meaning soft, white bread". Well, it isn't both! (I was pretty sure that "mì" means "noodles", though I suppose it could be a homonym. FWIW Google Translate gives "lúa mì" for "wheat", with "lúa" translating as "paddy".) I've raised this question at the article talk page, but since people seem to get few responses there I thought I'd see if anyone here can shed any light.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 08:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

I propose that the icon representing WikiProject Vietnam, the one that displays on the each project member's page, be changed to an image depicting the national map of V-N, with a Dong Son drum design in the background. I feel that representing the group with the red flag and yellow star is not representative of every member of the project, nor entirely representative of the entire Vietnamese people and Vietnamese nation, as many, many Vietnamese are opposed to the current Communist regime ruling Viet Nam today, inside (secretly, due to fears of persecution), and outside (very publicly) of Viet Nam, and are offended of using the flag or depictions of it. Instead of using the flag, my suggestion would be the best alternative, as it is entirely representative of the Vietnamese Nation, especially our history, and would appease all Vietnamese regardless of their political views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nguyen1310 ( talk • contribs) 23:57, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

I will create these articles using the data at here (there are about 10.000 villages and townships left). But I dont known clealy the rules. So I propose some cases
In general, their names should be [village name, province name], instead of [village name, district name] the priority as:
Some cases, there are two or more villages have the same name in a province such as:
The name should be [village, district, province]: An Hiệp, Chau Thanh District, Ben Tre or An Hiệp, Chau Thanh, Ben Tre.
A district sometime have one township and one village which have the same name. The name should be: [name (township)] and [name (village).
Is there any proposal? Thank in advance.-- Cheers! ( talk) 04:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Yes they look good, but if you could use Hưng Khánh Trung A as it is now exactly, I've made some changes, tidier infobox, no need to put density in text, that can go in infobox and coord missing link see the change here. If you could list the communes in the template and make templates as you go through each province this would be great. Can you go through the few you created so far and replace with this texting, but you'll need to remove the coord missing for communes which you have coordinates for. If you could do that and continue and gradually fill out the commune list you created and template as you go, this method of creation would be perfect. We would be greatly appreciative of you putting an article on every commune on here in English and a superb way to start trying to cover the whole of Vietnam in English which has never been covered in this way before.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:46, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Hán tự is a Vietnamese word that translates directly as "Chinese character." I don't see any RS using it the way we do in the articles. I think it is superfluous.

I was wondering if there is a template in place of {cite} that allows me to use Vietnamese naming order. I don't like citations that necessitate a comma after the last name, as it confuses whether the two pronouns that follow go in first-middle name order or middle-first name order. yellowtailshark ( talk) 00:32, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

The Chicago Manual of Style gives the examples of "Qing dynasty" (§11.110), "Ming dynasty" (§11.108), and "Shang dynasty" (§8.71), explaining that these are considered eras rather than political divisions. But they also give "Eighteenth Dynasty". It says "some period names are capitalized, either by tradition or to avoid ambiguity" (§8.71). They give a list of twenty names, so I would conclude that otherwise the rule is not to capitalize. Google Ngram suggests that both "Tudor dynasty" and "Romanov dynasty" are generally lower cased. The ngram for " Nguyen dynasty" shows a narrow majority for lower casing. Kauffner ( talk) 10:23, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

The Vietnamese words, Sông Hương have officially been translated as “Perfume River”. However, as cited in the Wikipedia article “PerfumeRiver”, the Hán nôm, Chinese characters (simplified 香江) or traditional 香河 mean “Fragrant River” [1]. The first character 香 is fragrant [2] and the second 河 river. The Chinese characters for perfume are 香水. Similarly Hong Kong 香港 was named the “fragrant harbor” [3].

Personally I would like to see Ba Dinh Square and DRV Declaration of Independence 2nd September 1945 discussed and searchable on Wiki Indexing. Ho Chi Minh moved 2 days early because he was tipped off the Allies were going to conveniently forget FDR's Cairo Convention promise that "all allies who helped the Allied cause of war must have a right to referendum to decide if they want independence, stay with mother countries or join another in union". OK Truman in Potsdam Convention after FDR conveniently died, forgot Ho Chi Min and General Vo Nguyen Giap (who 2013 died aged 102 years) as the then Viet-minh of North Vietnam had constantly aided the allies ~ rescuing downed airmen and delivering to afe allied hands in China and Laos. Had even allowed an OSS (Former CIA) Radio Operator take up residency in their Jungle base to feed intelligence of Japanese Invasion Forces activities in the former French Indochina protectorate of North Vietnam then called the Tonkin Vietnam Nation or Province I am unsure.
American Wikipedia editors appear to have deleted all reference to these facts as no search I do could find them and all I wanted was the date of the Ba Dinh Square declaration of DRV independence at end of WW II.

Hello, please can a Vietnamese reader take a look at the Vietnamese language source on Debbie van der Putten - a new editor removed this announcing it was "unreliable" but it doesn't appear so to me. I highly doubt he reads Vietnamese, and Google Translate won't touch the site with a bargepole (although I tested some sections of text from various pages and didn't really see anything to suggest unreliability.) If you can comment on Talk:Debbie van der Putten regarding the source, I'd be really grateful - I am using it solely as evidence that the subject is internationally recognised as a disabled model, rather than to support anything in-depth so unless it is super-ultra-blatantly unreliable, I don't see a problem with using it.

Given the existence of Little Vietnam, Little Hanoi, Little Saigon, Overseas Vietnamese and various pages of Vietnamese in specific countries (e.g. Vietnamese American, Vietnamese Australian, Vietnamese people in France, etc.), I've wanted to clean up the articles a bit. I began by consolidating and summarizing the list of named enclaves in the Little Vietnam/Hanoi/Saigon articles into a list User:Yellowtailshark/List of Vietnamese enclaves, cross-checking the sources and adding as much details for the citations as possible (the current citations in the existing articles are sparsely populated).
The Little Saigon article suffers from listing enclaves for which there is no citation on the name "Little Saigon" ever being used to reference the local enclave, or contains enclaves called "Little Vietnam"; I guess one can argue that Little Saigon has become a kind of noun to refer to any Vietnamese enclave regardless of political orientation, but I feel that is VERY presumptuous. In my vetted list, I made note of the places that lacked citable sources and put N/A for when I could not find usage via Google. While I could remove these non-cited listings, such as Atlanta, Georgia, I wonder if such information should be moved into the Vietnamese American article which can talk about specific enclaves in the United States. Or should there be a List of Vietnamese enclaves main article (as a corollary to Overseas Vietnamese) to allow for any enclave, regardless of name (or unnamed)? And if so, does this make the Little Vietnam/Hanoi articles mere Template:Refer lists (e.g. Arlington?

Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

Furthermore, additional information regarding what I plan to add can be found on my sandbox page. I look forward from hearing from you guys, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions or requests for additional information (such as an outline, etc.) Thank you! Brittany Lai ( talk) 06:30, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Details of my rationale and a comprehensive plan and outline can also be found at this Google Doc. Brittany Lai ( talk) 02:34, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

This new user has a history of changing various names for Vietnam, like Ðai Viet, into Annam, such as here and here. Are these actual corrections or is it POV pushing/historical revisionism? -- HyperGaruda ( talk) 10:39, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
Please see Draft:Phạm Đình Hổ. The article creator has been blocked here. There are concerns about using Annam vs Vietnam. I have moved it to draftspace for further improvements. At the moment, there are no sources in the article. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 03:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

I'm 81 years old and I'am a Vietnamese from former Saigon. I do have a website entitled Sachvatranh.com that has some 17000 pages of all kinds of literary articles, as well as useful daily life information. I wish to ask you to visit it and were you to be interested in its articles, please feel free to diffuse them on your site. Many thanks in advance.

Please can someone take a look at the articles created by new contributor Nguyen dao? I am concerned that there is a lot of copy-pasting from sources, as per their edits to Le Chan which had to be deleted and hidden. They have gone on to create three more articles, Nguyen Khac Nhu, Nguyễn Huy Tự, and Nguyễn Hữu Cầu. Nguyen Khac Nhu certainly seems notable, but there are issues with sourcing, and I noticed that the editor copied and pasted text from a source again despite being warned about this before. The other two - particularly Nguyễn Hữu Cầu - do read like they have been copied from somewhere, or are at best direct translations from Vietnamese sources.
As I can't read a word of Vietnamese, I am asking here if someone would be prepared to take on this editor and try to help them understand how to edit Wikipedia, and perhaps help them with improving their articles and contributing correctly? Their subjects do seem notable, and I could see enough from a machine translation of the Vietnamese Wikipedia sources to confirm that there seem to be plenty of sources in Vietnamese for Nguyễn Hữu Cầu.
Thanks so much. Mabalu ( talk) 10:15, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

The page for Hi Chi Minh Youth Union appears to have been sabotaged.
In any case, it's anything but objective. I know nothing about it and came across it by accident. Would someone knowledgeable care to take a look?
I am trying to get Hủ tiếu to it's own name space. I have had my redirects reverted to kuy teav (which is not the same thing). So I am asking if other editors to help out here. I think my edits are being reverted because Google has conflated these two dishes (this is due to the Wikipedia article). -- Dara ( talk) 15:03, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Can anyone confirm that there's a Tân Thành District in Đồng Tháp Province? There is a township called Tân Thành in Lai Vung District of the same province as well as townships Tân Thành A and Tân Thành B in Tân Hồng District which is also in Đồng Tháp Province; but I can't find any source online that suggests that any of these have been made into a new district. The only source cited by the article is the list of districts on Statoids that includes Tân Thạnh District, Long An Province and Tân Thành District, Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu, but no Tân Thành District in Đồng Tháp Province. The "corresponding article" linked to on the Vietnamese Wikipedia is about the one in Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu Province and I couldn't find any article on the Vietnamese Wikipedia about a Tân Thành District in Đồng Tháp Province or even mentioning such a district's existence. I notice the same user has made the same claim at w:fr:Tan Thanh, again without providing any sources. I will PROD the article unless someone can show this district actually exists.

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.
A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Vietnam
Please take a few minutes to help make these more useful to our readers.— Rod talk 19:53, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Today I started a short article Cannabis in Vietnam, and I'd welcome any help in fleshing it out. The hits on GoogleBooks are heavily slanted towards coverage of US troops in the Vietnam War, so any help broadening to a more local view (especially if anyone can read Vietnamese sources) would be great.

Hello everyone! Thought I'd let you know that I'm visiting Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow, and with the support of my friends organized a Wikipedia Workshop at the Saigon Compass Hub on Sunday, 4 February 2018. I have not prepared a Wikipedia meet-up page for this event, but you can RSVP through this Facebook event page. Looking forward to meeting some people from this project! — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 11:41, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
At Bánh mì#Terminology we are told first that "the word bánh mì is derived from bánh (which can refer to many kinds of food, including bread) and mì (wheat)". Then we're told "The word is likely derived from the French 'pain de mie' meaning soft, white bread". Well, it isn't both! (I was pretty sure that "mì" means "noodles", though I suppose it could be a homonym. FWIW Google Translate gives "lúa mì" for "wheat", with "lúa" translating as "paddy".) I've raised this question at the article talk page, but since people seem to get few responses there I thought I'd see if anyone here can shed any light.
As long as I'm here: Feel free also to comment on my proposal to move Bánh mì to Banh mi. Largoplazo ( talk) 16:26, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Could someone look over this abandoned draft on a Vietnamese fortress and determine whether or not it is worth publishing. Thanks, Espresso Addict ( talk) 04:18, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 08:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Editors fluent in Vietnamese are invited to assess whether or not this topic is notable since English-language sources do not appear available: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nguyễn Phi Hùng. Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 13:47, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Could someone fluent in Vietnamese try to source and rewrite this article? Thanks, Sam Sailor 14:57, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
Nguyễn Ngọc Loan and Execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém both have problems with questionable sourcing. I removed a site called vietcatholic which is used as a source. The site was used as a citation to prove that the executed man had committed war crimes himself prior to his execution. Both articles have issues with sourcing and need expansion. I'd like people with more knowledge on the subject to review them.
