thread_title: Change first picture

message: I moved this page here from Hué, removing the accent (it can't be just plain Hue, because that's already taken). While the Vietnamese word does indeed have accents, there are two, not one: it's spelled Huế. I don't think ế is a possible character for a page title, and I think it would be best to have either all or nothing when it comes to accents. The é part represents a tone and the ê part represents a different sound, and I would prefer to avoid displaying one without the other - it gives the appearance that we're marking tones, but doing it wrong (as opposed to not trying to do it at all). Moreover, I think that if one is to be displayed, it should probably be the ê - that represents a difference in the actual sound of the letter, which English speakers are more likely to pay attention to than the tone. This is, of course, just my opinion - feel free to disagree. -- Vardion 02:53, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: I see that the chinese was removed. Also the name of the vietnamese language is in vietnamese transliteration? I am not sure if that is a good idea. And although the ogg is ok, maybe it should be included lower down in another section. I think that the introduction should be clean.--Filll 12:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Page currently says, "In the Tết Offensive of 1968, during the Battle of Hue, the city suffered considerable damage not only to its physical features, but its reputation as well, most of it from American firepower and bombings on the historical buildings as well as the now infamous massacre at Huế."
Is there any documentation for this?  Since the Americans were, IIRC, in Hue, being attacked from the outside, can we safely say that ALL of the damage was done by "American firepower and bombings" without providing some documentation?  CsikosLo 18:53, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Documentation?

message: I feel that 'Hue' and 'Complex of Hue Monuments' should be separated into two different articles. 'Hue' is a city itself; while 'Complex of Hue Monuments' is about the ancient monuments located in 'Hue'. I don't think it makes much sense to call the entire city a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which seems to be used.
For example, calling the city of Agra a UNESCO World Heritage Site just because it contains the Taj Mahal is wrong. Therefore, I hope someone would separate these two sections. As I am merely a tourist of Vietnam and not a local, my knowledge about this might not be as deep as some others, so forgive me if I have written some incorrect facts. Thanks!

replies: text: I agree, and I've added a  template to the "Historical monuments" section to encourage this. I might do it myself later when I get the chance, and if no one else objects. --dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 19:04, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wards 

message: The new "People" section needs a little work to comply with Wikipedia's style guidelines. Here are a few comments, distilled from a comment I left on Anhhpham's talk page: Some of the new text is written in a essay style, rather than an encyclopedic style. For example, the first few sentences of the "People" section give an exposition of the topic at hand in a personal, informal style, using literary devices such as wordplay, rather than simply stating the facts. While this may be appropriate for an essay, it is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. For another thing, the new text lacks citations or references; if the text is original research, then it should be refactored and sourced to make it verifiable by reliable, published sources. I'm willing to take on some of this work when I can (alongside some of the other projects I've got going), but I just thought I'd leave a note to others to explain the tags I've added. --dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 22:04, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've rearranged this section and merge a few others in to create a "Culture" section, since most of these bits had to do with culture anyway. It's looking good overall. I've tried to do some copy editing to fix the tone problems, but one area that still stands out is the lack of cited sources in the text. We really need citations for everything that's said here, otherwise the whole lot risks getting deleted as original research. --dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 19:03, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: =Battle of Hue

message: The Vietnamese words, Sông Hương have officially been translated as “Perfume River”. However, as cited in the Wikipedia article “PerfumeRiver”, the Hán nôm, Chinese characters (simplified 香江) or traditional 香河 mean “Fragrant River” [1]. The first character 香 is fragrant [2] and the second 河 river. The Chinese characters for perfume are 香水. Similarly Hong Kong 香港 was named the “fragrant harbor” [3].
