Re:Capital of French Indo-China between 1939 and 1945
From what I know, Hanoi was still the official capital of French Indochina during this period. There were, however, indeed an idea and then a plan of making Dalat the federal capital of Indochina under Governors-general Jules Brévié and Jean Decoux, as being shown in Jennings' book Imperial Heights. You can access it at Chapter 13 through the Wikipedia Library. Greenknight dv (talk) 19:11, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Greenknight dv, "". Unfortunately I won't be able to apply for this privilege. -- Donald Trung (talk) 19:25, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Greenknight dv, But thank you for the information, could you then update the false claim at the "Da Lat" article? As it false claimed that it was the capital city between 1939 and 1945. -- Donald Trung (talk) 19:28, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

User and IPs making edits to Peacock Princess article
Hi. I raised this issue regarding IPs overlapping a certain SPA at User talk:Ohnoitsjamie. To recap, a few IPs edited the Peacock Princess article back in March. All of them are from a range Ohnoitsjamie then blocked as being used by a Vietnam-related LTA. A new editor, Levanven60, has since been making edits to the article, as well as a few others, with a Vietnam focus. I'm wondering if the user's editing patterns match the LTA, which Ohnoitsjamie said you're more familiar with. Could you help look into this? Thanks. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:12, 3 August 2022 (UTC)


 * , I would say that it's possible but I wouldn't jump to accuse them. FPT Hanoi is the largest (government-owned) internet provider in Vietnam, when I was editing from Vietnam I was on the same range and if a person lives around the Red River Delta they're likely to be editing from that range. This is also why rangeblocks of that range have to be taken with surgical precision. That aside going over their edits I don't immediately see that many correlations but noted some of 's idiosyncrasies, namely starting a (nearly) blank user page and creating the redirect "An Nam" as user "Unserefahne" is obsessed with (the name) Annam and tries to insert this name wherever they can.


 * However, this editor seems way too competent to be "Unserefahne". But going over more edits I notice how they add categories even though they're not the main subject (for example here, here, and here). The way they categorise categories is similar, namely "Category name|FIRST LETTER". That is where some people organise categories as "Roads by country|United States" he would do "Roads by country|U".


 * But so far I wouldn't call this a clear case and I am inclined to be against blocking this user as they're not really disruptive as "Unserefahne" usually is. But from what I can tell I would suspect them of beign a sockpuppet of user "Unserefahne" within reasonable doubt. That is that they are very likely to simply be a new user, mostly as the field of interest is slightly different and I haven't ever seen user "Unserefahne" edit Myanmar-related articles. --Donald Trung (talk) 03:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I guess we'll see if they continue with the problematic edits, and the usual route of dealing with such behaviour can be pursued if so. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:55, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
