In the lead it says "officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam", but footnote e says "Viet Nam" is the officially designated form of Vietnam. Shouldn't the official name in the lead then say "officially the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam"? Unbeatable101 (talk) 17:52, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The choice of using short refs exclusively is a bit much I think; it adds huge length to the bottom of the article, and requires an extra click or hover-over to find what ref is leading to what source. Short refs are I think useful for when one source is cited multiple times. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 03:42, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the infobox it says 3th century BC. It should be changed to 3rd because third is the correct word. Thirth would be incorrect. Thwaluigi (talk) 20:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you remove this line. I'm from vietnam and it's not corrupt.
. It has high levels of corruption, censorship, environmental issues and a poor human rights record; the country ranks among the lowest in international measurements of civil liberties, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion and ethnic minorities. 107.189.255.5 (talk) 11:15, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
My suggestion is to remove "freedom of religion and ethnic minorities" from the lead.
In the lead, "ranks among the lowest in international measurements of [...] freedom of religion and ethnic minorities" is original synthesis. In International rankings of Vietnam, there is no rankings about religions or ethnic minorities. In the linked article Freedom of religion in Vietnam, it is noted that religion has a certain level of tolerance among the population ("Vietnamese people tend to have a tolerant perception towards different religious groups, with there having been only a few cases of anti-religious violence in recent years regarding Governmental issues and/or problems") and the government ("The status of respect for religious freedom improved significantly during the period covered by this report"), which when compared to Middle Eastern countries (such as Freedom of religion in Saudi Arabia) is far from the worst. 130.245.192.6 (talk) 15:54, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
