Invitation to join WikiProject Vietnam
Dear Binh Giang, thank you for the great work you're doing on Vietnam-related articles. There are just a few of us doing this work, and I'd like to invite you to join WikiProject Vietnam, where those of us who are interested put together ideas of which articles to create and improve. We'd love to have your expertise and ideas, so if you'd like to, just add your name there under "Participants." Happy editing, Badagnani 17:53, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Ba Be Lake
Thanks for clarifying; I think if we had a map it would explain how there are three parts to the lake. Badagnani 07:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Cuisine
User:DHN says you're knowledgeable about Vietnamese cuisine? Is that right? Because I often need help with such articles, especially when creating new ones. Would you be available to answer questions about items of Vietnamese cuisine? Badagnani 07:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Cam sành
Can you add anything you can find from your knowledge or Vietnamese sources about Cam sành (especially where it's grown)? It's supposed to be a famous agricultural product of Vietnam. Badagnani 22:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah, this makes things complicated. I had suspected that there was more than one fruit using the name. Of course, my friend who took the photo only knows the thick-skinned one and said there is no thin-skinned variety. So that means that the thin-skinned one might be a mandarin and the thick-skinned one is the hybrid with the sweet orange? Badagnani 17:40, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Bánh tẻ photos
You're great to put your own photos of bánh tẻ! Hope you can take more photos of bánh and other Vietnamese foods; we have a lot that need photos. Badagnani 06:42, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Death anniversary
Hi, I think we need an article on the Vietnamese death anniversary (when you celebrate the day of the death of your grandparents or other old relatives). Is the name mệnh nhật (from Sino-Vietnamese 命日)? It may be best to put all the East and Southeast Asian holidays (which maybe come from Confucianism) in a single article. Badagnani (talk) 03:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Is it ngày giỗ or bữc giỗ? Badagnani (talk) 03:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I got mệnh nhật by converting the Han tu to Vietnamese. I guess you have a native word for this, so use the Vietnamese words instead of the Sino-Vietnamese ones. What do you think about an article covering this thing in all the East Asian and Southeast Asian countries that do it? China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. Badagnani (talk) 03:35, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Here in America, people don't know anything about this, so it would be educational for English speakers. According to a friend in Vietnam, as well as the film The Vertical Ray of the Sun, this is an important event that happens several times a year, and people cook elaborate foods. It seems really important, at least in Vietnam. But in China, under communist rule, maybe it's frowned upon. Did the government in Vietnam also try to suppress it because they think it's superstitious, or is this one of the things they just think it's impossible to squash, since it's such an ingrained part of Vietnamese society and culture (and gives people a bond to their ancestors, who were so wise and fought for their freedom)? Badagnani (talk) 03:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

You told me "There is an article on ngày giỗ in Vietnamese Wikipedia," so can you show me where that article is? Is it this one: vi:giỗ? Badagnani (talk) 04:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Is this food typical of that cooked and served at a giỗ? Badagnani (talk) 04:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

So the "xôi-chè" (xôi and chè) are served for death anniversaries? My friend who took this picture said it was taken for the first birthday of one of her baby relatives. So xôi-chè can be cooked for either a death anniversary or a first birthday? Badagnani (talk) 04:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Trai sai
Hi, do you know if "trai sai" (this photo and this photo) is the same as Irvingia? Badagnani (talk) 08:17, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Question
In the expression "vắng chủ nhà, gà vọc niêu tôm," what does "vọc" mean? Badagnani (talk) 22:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks--can you check this entry? Badagnani (talk) 02:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Ruou de still
Would like to have more information about the ruou de still in the photo--do you know where it was taken? Badagnani (talk) 02:22, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Other liquors?
Does this article talk about any other liquors we don't have articles about yet? It looks like one contains chrysanthemum flowers, and another ginseng or some other kind of root. Badagnani (talk) 02:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguations
Hi, it seems that you're creating disambiguations in the province articles themselves, but not actually making a separate disambiguation page for each place name (with diacritics). That should probably have been done (by a bot) before you spent a lot of time by hand to do what you're doing. Badagnani (talk) 17:53, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Page moves
Hi, we generally haven't been moving pages to titles with diacritics. Badagnani (talk) 23:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Your t'rưng photo
Hi, can you tell me why your t'rưng photo says it's Bahnar in Vietnamese, but says it's Ede in English? Badagnani (talk) 05:57, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Project talk page tagging for WP:VIET
 Blnguyen  had requested me for the service of TinucherianBot to tag articles in the categories in WikiProject Vietnam/Categories for the WikiProject Vietnam. I request the members to kindly have a look, carefully verify ALL the categories and remove all the possibly wrong categories. Please Dont misunderstand by being cautious here, as we have faced many issues with such huge scale bot tagging earlier. Once I get the final go ahead, I will start the bot with the final list. Thank you for choosing TinucherianBot for the project,. It is a pleasure working for this project...I have also left a note at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Vietnam and request your comments there. You are receiving this message as you are a member of the project. Thanks --  Tinu  Cherian  - 06:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

An error in the map? The Ruak River
I have been looking at the map you created, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mekong_system_color.png in Wikimedia Commons. It seems to me that there's a small but important error in this map. The part labeled as Ruak is in fact more of the Mekong.

Start just at the point where the line indicates the Ruak, and follow the river upstream. It goes north just a short distance. Then it turns west and goes a short distance. Then just where it turns north again, the Ruak enters from the west. That is the Golden Triangle. Uporządnicki (talk) 02:46, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

VNG (company) and https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNG
Hi Binh Giang! I found you at the list member of WikiProject VietNam and since I new to wiki. I have a problem hope you can solve. I'm now editing content for VNG page in Vietnamese and when I tend to edit it in English. I can't search it under the name "VNG" itself. Even thought it was the same company. So i wonder if you or someone else in chart may change it back to "VNG" only. Many thanks Nataliethaile (talk) 02:55, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Binh Giang. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Binh Giang~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:38, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 11:03, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
