Talk:Luop

That appears to be a typo in a book called Amanda's Kitchen for the dialect "Lá lốp". Anyway the redirect can be deleted. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:18, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Modern history, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Late modern period. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Greenknight dv

Thank you for creating Bắc Phần.

User:Rosguill, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

It looks like on Vietnamese Wikipedia, this name points to their article for Tonkin/Mien Bac. From reading the text, I'm undecided as to which is the better target.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

_signed, Rosguill ^talk 18:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

@Rosguill: Thank you for your message. Both Tonkin in English and Miền Bắc in Vietnamese are ambiguous in meaning, though they can be considered equivalent to each other. Yet, there is one thing we can be absolutely certain is that Bắc Phần, just like Bắc Bộ, refers to Northern Vietnam only, not to ambiguous terms of Miền Bắc and Tonkin. Thank you for reminding about Vietnamese Wikipedia as well, I'm going to correct them over there. Regards. Greenknight dv (talk) 22:25, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

The historical names

I believe the names "Tonkin, Annam, Cochinchina" were European spellings and were not official names of the regions until the French conquest after the latter half of the 19th century. If you create more articles about Vietnamese history before the mid-19th century, I recommend we should use the Vietnamese names for regions. In this case, it would be Dang Ngoai, Dang Trong, Dai Viet,.....rather than Tonkin, Cochinchina, Annam,..... 152.130.15.4 (talk) 16:38, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I have used both endonyms and exonyms for these regions. And mind you, all the names Annam, Tonkin and Cochinchina predate the French colonial period in Vietnam. Greenknight dv (talk) 18:59, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 25

WP:CRP

Please self-revert your recent edit to Emily W. Murphy. This page is subject to WP:CRP, which in this case requires that [p]rior to consensus on the article talk page, no editor may reinstate all or part of the removal. You cannot reinstate your edit without obtaining consensus first. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 01:51, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

November 2020

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Emily W. Murphy. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:15, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Help me to investigate

Hello, can you help me to investigate about a Vietnamese literature work? Several days ago, I've discovered a work about the Vietnam War, which knows as 南方来信 Letter From the South for us. I saw there is an article described that:

• 南方来信：越南现代文学在中国的译介和传播

According above article, this should be named Letter from the Fatherland in Vietnam (in this article, 祖国来信), including a series of letters talk about the war, this was translated in Chinese in January 1964. In China, this was published between May and July of the same year, and later derived as straight play, manga, and even Peking Opera (I added them in Outline of the Vietnam War). So in China this became the most notable Vietnamese work at the times. If you're able to known about more information about this Letter from the Fatherland, I hope you let me know. Thanks. -- Great Brightstar (talk) 15:34, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Rediscovery of an unknown flag

On this photo I found the third flag looks unknown for me. This flag has a yellow band with three red bands and a dragon in the middle. Can you figure out what is that? -- Great Brightstar (talk) 15:36, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

@Great Brightstar: I assume this photo came from this forum before being used by TTXVA. The source indicates that the third one is the flag of ngự lâm quân 御林軍, or the personal guard unit of Bảo Đại. This was the time when he was the Chief of the State of Vietnam and the Emperor in the Domain of the Crown. Greenknight dv (talk) 02:43, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Pseudo-Dragon Star Flag

I pinged you recently but think that a direct message might be better, I keep seeing the "Pseudo-Dragon Star Flag" pop up unsourced in a lot of Nguyễn-related articles, might it be wiser to request for it to be deleted for a week at the Wikimedia Commons and then only restore it on articles discussing its existence as it is essentially an unsourced myth anywhere else. And with how little evidence actually exist about its usage during the Nguyễn Dynasty and the only actual contemporary source confirming its existence pointing to it being half a century older than its purported use and claiming it as the flag of the Later Lê Dynasty I think that it's safe to say that there is no historical basis for this flag ever being associated with the Nguyễn government or its Emperors.

I really like this flag, it has a beautiful design, but as far as I can tell it's 100% (one-hundred percent) fiction to attribute it to any Nguyễn Lord or Emperor. --Donald Trung (talk) 14:41, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

I found the original propagation of this myth, I think that user "Editorfree1011" probably just took the unsourced claims by user "Ngockhanh6bnt" at face value and inserted them into the English-language Wikipedia. Usually user "Lệ Xuân" would have reverted it but she's less active lately. This issue is systemic and can't be blamed on one user anymore, but we need that file to debunk it. I still think that my "Commons cleanse" idea might be the easiest solution. --Donald Trung (talk) 20:09, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Capital of French Indo-China between 1939 and 1945

I've found conflicting information about the capital of French Indo-China during this period, I've read in some places that Da Lat was the capital while others claimed that it was only the Summer capital. As you seem to have an extensive bibliography of this period do you know which is correct? Was Da Lat the capital at all during this period? --Donald Trung (talk) 06:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm MarkH21. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I have no issue with a potential split of Hồng Bàng dynasty to Văn Lang, but this is a reminder to focus on the content itself and not to disparage other editors.

In particular, calling other editors people who are unfamiliar with Vietnamese history as in this edit is discourteous. — MarkH₂₁^talk 15:48, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
