The formation section of the infobox is for events directly related to the formation of Vietnam as a state, therefore in that section of the infobox please remove references to Đổi Mới. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 07:05, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
Not done. This is not a hill that I will die on. That part of the infobox is for major events, not just the formation of the country NotJamestack (✉️|📝) 13:24, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- Not true. The 'formation' section is for events directly related to Vietnam's formation. Doi Moi is irrelevant to Vietnam's formation. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 20:22, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- No, clicking the link on "formation" takes you to the history page. Doi Moi is related to Vietnam's history. NotJamestack (✉️|📝) 20:41, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- It's astonishing how you don't understand the purpose of these sections at all. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 20:46, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- No, clicking the link on "formation" takes you to the history page. Doi Moi is related to Vietnam's history. NotJamestack (✉️|📝) 20:41, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- Not true. The 'formation' section is for events directly related to Vietnam's formation. Doi Moi is irrelevant to Vietnam's formation. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 20:22, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

The last paragraph in the Introduction section says that Vietnam is "a upper-middle-income economy". This is incorrect as, according to the commonly used World Bank classification, Vietnam is a lower-middle-income economy, as of the 2026 fiscal year.
I simply just want to correct this and add World Bank as the source: "a upper-middle-income economy" to "a lower-middle-income economy [source]"

The Geneva Agreement dividing Vietnam was signed on 20 July 1954, not the 21st (here is source: https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1952-54v16/d1035)
In the infobox, we should change time of division from 21 July 1954 to 20 July 1954.
