Considering the damage caused to various cultures, facilitating slavery - for one example, it seems right to remove the "Honourable" from "Honourable East India Company". It is known by both names. 118.210.71.207 (talk) 10:07, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I saw an account that changed the year of Vietnam's independence from China from 939 to 938 in the infobox: I think this is wrong information because 938 was only the year the Vietnamese defeated the Chinese army in Bạch Đằng, Vietnam became independent from China in 939 when this year they declared a new dynasty (the Ngô dynasty) to replace Chinese rule legally, even in the link it mentions "Ngô dynasty" but not Bạch Đằng battle. 171.224.177.62 (talk) 11:31, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to change the year 938 to 939 when displaying the year Vietnam gained independence from China in the infobox. 2403:E200:96E:502C:83C:B7:D53C:7AB3 (talk) 08:47, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Vietnam gained independence from China when the Ngô dynasty was founded in 939, not 938. See Vietnam under Chinese rule. Even at the beginning of this article, it mentions: "The Han dynasty annexed Northern and Central Vietnam under Chinese rule from 111 BC, until the first dynasty emerged in 939". 2403:E200:96E:502C:83C:B7:D53C:7AB3 (talk) 09:04, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ho Chi Minh City is the lagest city of Vietnam?

When I read again the Statistical Yearbook 2020 by General Statistics Office, Ministry of Planning and Investment published in 2021, I was startled to see that Hanoi's area is larger than 3,348 km2, while Ho Chi Minh City is only about 2,095 km2. In En Wiki had municipalities of 2 city. See here. Can someone help me change the data in the lagest_city section to capital? Vp08122010 (talk) 14:56, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request - Water Supply and Sanitation

"Most of the country's urban water supply systems have been developed without proper management within the last 10 years." - I think the 10 years is outdated now - but I don't know when this was written. It may need additional references Patate324 (talk) 15:32, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I Don't agree with the census data. In reality more than 75% of the total vietnam people are follow Buddhism.

Please find Wikipedia:Reliable sources to support your claim. Then we can change this article based on those sources. Regards, Mgnbar (talk) 16:55, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, don't be confused between true buddhism v.s. Vietnamese folk religion which may be misunderstood as buddhism in the Vietnamese context due to its strong association to buddhist culture. Second, the government-made 2019 Vietnamese census (EnglishViet) is the only standard report that we use here, and this extremely-official census only account less than 5 million Vietnamese or less than 5% of the population being buddhist.
