Edits to Ho Chi Minh
You have added this material to the article twice now, and I have reverted it twice. Please, if you want to add material, use Talk:Ho Chi Minh to discuss it with other editors.

Here's the section you added, broken out for discussion:

The name Ho Chi Minh can be interpreted to mean someone who is the “Bringer of Light.’ This should be placed in the article in the section after he begins using the name, Ho Chi Minh. It's out of place in the Early Life section. It should include a cite to a reliable source to confirm it's veracity.

Ho Chi Minh spent his early years traveling at sea making his way to the United States, Africa, Britain, along with many other places. This is already covered in the article.

Later in life, he joined the Communist Party after being inspired by the Bolshevik Revolution, and decided to travel to the Soviet Union. In 1930, he took part in founding the Indochinese Communist Party and in 1941, he also took part in founding the League for the Independence of Vietnam. Ho became president of the Democratic State of Vietnam after the northern city of Hanoi was seized by Viet Minh (Vietnam) forces. This is all already covered in the article. If you think some of it needs to be reworded, please edit the sections that you think need to be reworded.

He served as the president for 25 years. Again, already covered.

He became a symbol for the struggling Vietnam desire for unification during a time when a South Vietnam anti-communist regime was creating conflict. This violates WP:NPOV. Please read the document and try to follow it in your edits.

The anti-communist regime had the United States as a strong ally in the attempt to stop the spread of communism throughout the world. This doesn't belong in an article on Ho Chi Minh. See South Vietnam.

In fact, Ho Chi Minh got a personal message from U.S president Lyndon Johnson in February of 1967 in which he responded with a profound statement explaining that the North Vietnamese refused to negotiate while under a bomb threat. For this to be included in the article, you need to provide a cite to a reliable source.

Please don't make the same edit again. If you want to discuss any of this, we can either talk here, or you can engage the entire universe of editors at Talk:Ho Chi Minh
