message: Is there a reason the chart has yellow and red rows? I know it looks clever since it's the flag, but it's a little unprofessional.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.165.225.107 (talk) 06:17, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

message: It's short, well done and worth a further development of this turning point, from a French colonial war to a civil war. It may be a template of ensuing colonial war in politology.

message: I think the official name of this country was l'Etat du Vietnam and the official language was French and not Vietnamese. 207.178.224.50 22:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is Ngo Dinh Diem listed as Prime Minister? He was the last Prime Minister, but not the only one. Is it the rule in these cases to only list the last? Nguyen Van Xuan was the first Prime Minister so he should be mentioned I would think. 216.183.34.167 09:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: the current map was imported from the republic of vietnam article and is not the actual map of the 1949-1954 state of vietnam which ruled over the united vietnam pet the Halong Bay Agreements. a new map is requested, as simple as the cureent vietnam map with another color than red.

text: actually a 2 frames animated GIF should be produced, first frame (about whole vietnam) with "1949-1954 borders" as caption and a second one (about south vietnam) with "1954-1955 boders". i have no time to do it by now. Paris By Night 20:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Can't find a definition, anywhere of "derouted", as in the phrase used in this article "... The derouted Việt Minh partisans were forced to retreat..." 
Perhaps this is some technical term used only by the military? I can only guess that "derouted" means not a "rout" but possibly an organized and temporary retreat?

thread_title:  What does "derouted" mean?  

message: I'd say we need a separate page about the 1948-1949 Provisional Central Government of Vietnam (currently a redirect). It was a transitional period, but it existed for over a year since it was created on 27 may 1948 by the merger of Annam and Tonkin, with Cochinchina being added on 20 may 1949 : the State of Vietnam was officially proclaimed on 14 June 1949, after Cochinchina had been merged with the other two parts.

thread_title:  Suggested split 

message: I found another contemporary badge depicting the coat of arms of the State of Vietnam here:

So other than the coat of arms reference book mentioned above all known contemporary depictions of this coat of arms show the dragon facing to the viewer's right, note that the shape of the shield is different. --Donald Trung (talk)  10:26, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Further findings 

message: Was Saigon-Cholon the only capital city or was Dalat also a capital? As "the Cabinet of His Majesty Bảo Đại" was located in Dalat, and as far as I can tell this doesn't just refer to the Domain of the Crown but to the State of Vietnam as a whole (example). According to the 2nd Conference of Dalat, the city of Dalat would become the federal capital city of French Indochina (though this never happened) but Chief of State Bảo Đại did move his cabinet there, does this refer to the old cabinet of the Nguyễn Dynasty or to the Cabinet of the State of Vietnam? -- — Donald Trung (talk)  21:28, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
