Apparently the only people that edit this page is sockpuppets so how am I supposed to get concensus?? Kommandant-Brot (talk) 12:09, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Ive asked two editors who edited the page before on their talks! Kommandant-Brot (talk) 12:12, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

I have another source for this:

https://alphahistory.com/vietnamwar/south-vietnam/ "I don’t expect you to be a ‘yes man’. I realise that you must never appear a puppet of the United States.”

@Matrose-von-Kronstadt Are you a sock of @Kommandant-Brot? NotJamestack (talk) 13:06, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

What do you mean by "a sock"? Kommandant-Brot (talk) 13:47, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Like an alt account. The usernames seem the same. I’m assuming good faith, but I just want to know. NotJamestack (talk) 13:52, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Aah, no we're just two German friends with a shared love for socialism XD. Sorry if I raised concern about stuff. I suggested he make an account in September cause he kept watching me edit in class and then he did. I've been editing since may on German communist stuff and songs, he's actually from Königsberg originally and he tried making an article on Baltics in the modern day but it got deleted. But no, we're two different people just friends bc socialism Kommandant-Brot (talk) 13:57, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

And though all the things here I'm very happy as the community is nice even though half the stuff you write doesn't stay long Kommandant-Brot (talk) 13:58, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

@NotJamestack Incredibely sorry for any problems caused, I read canvassing and I'll stop posting in other places. Matrose-von-Kronstadt (talk) 17:32, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi, me again. Per the edit request above, using https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zn4cqyc#zy8kmbk and https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1961-63v01/d209 as the sources, I would like to propose the status to "Satellite state of the United States." <br>

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans here. Matrose-von-Kronstadt (talk) 17:59, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I want to add information for the 3rd paragraph of the introduction. I want to add: "In December 1955, Diem's South Vietnam terminated its existing economic and financial agreements with France and withdrew its representatives from the French Union Assembly."

Here is source:^[1]: 10

I've added this later in the body. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:35, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

I want to add information for economy section. Air Vietnam was established in 1951, so please change "It established an airline named Air Vietnam" to "It established an airline named Air Vietnam in 1951." ~2026-16034-14 (talk) 01:05, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

•  Done with some slight rephrasing and I also moved the sentence that followed it to instead be ahead of it. You are supposed to include a source for any claims you wish to add, and I encourage you to do so if you make further edit requests, but in this situation I've done it for you because I saw the Air Vietnam article isn't doing too well itself. ―Maltazarian ^{(talk${\displaystyle \lor }$investigate)} 17:33, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

I think it's strange that Infobox claims South Vietnam began in 1955, considering Vietnam was divided in 1954 and predecessor of South Vietnam was established in 1949 (as the article itself mentions). 1955 was only the year of government change in South Vietnam.

Should change the beginning year in infobox from 1955 to 1949. ~2026-17239-32 (talk) 07:13, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

The current one is quite a cartoonish version of the real thing. I have an image of the actual coat of arms taken from Nguyen Van Thieu's Inaugural Address. Dpham25 (talk) 21:32, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Would it be possible to show it to the other editors? and maybe even request it at Wikipedia:Graphics lab? Please and thank you in advance. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 00:28, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

I dont know very much about south vietnam, but the language is insanelly biased it seems against north vietnam.

Reading it reads like something id read out of a old propaganda book from some dictatorship describing enemies as "cloaked in nationalism" while in reality being a communist plot and stuff like that. ~2026-27852-14 (talk) 06:01, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
