Talk:Lê Đức Thọ

Nobel Prize Decline

edit

The Article reads that Le Duc Tho declined the Nobel Prize under the statement that "There was never a peace deal with the U.S. We won the war".[3] I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I couldnt find any evidence for that. Only 212 hits on google, seemingly referenceing this exact same article. The source referenced in 3 does not mention such a statement, therefore I decided to change the line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.122.253.190 (talk) 21:11, 11 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Opening heading

edit

I added a picture I found in the Vietnam War article, but, as I can see from the talk page there, there's some doubt as to who is who.68.145.207.92 22:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think the Paris Peace Accords were actually on January 27, 1973, not January 23 like this article states. Marknagel (talk) 00:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Lê Ðức ThọLê Đức Thọ — The current name for this page incorrectly uses Eth (Ð) instead of the Vietnamese Đ. The uppercase letters are identical, but the lowercase letters are ð and đ respectively and the incorrect encoding wreaks havoc with indexing. --Iceager (talk) 15:56, 1 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I see that no consensus has yet been reached at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Vietnamese) regarding the use of diacritics for Vietnamese names. I have no opinion on this issue as long as the full Vietnamese spelling with diacritics can be easily found in the article; the reason I suggested the move was because of the incorrect Eth (Ð). I don't care which spelling we settle on as long as this error is corrected. But I did a quick Google search for those who want to weigh in: "Lê Đức Thọ" (with the correct Vietnamese diacritics) gets 2,050,000 hits, "Le Duc Tho" gets just 82,100 hits. However, when restricted to English pages, "Lê Đức Thọ" gets 14,800 hits versus 34,800 for "Le Duc Tho". The incorrect "Lê Ðức Thọ" with the Eth (Ð) gets 7,450 English-language hits and 16,000 overall. --Iceager (talk) 23:12, 1 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Avoiding the difference between two stroked Ds would be one reason for moving this to its normal representation in English, without diacritics; such errors are likely when we pretend to greater accuracy than we can attain. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 14:58, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Support without prejudice to renaming to "Le Duc Tho". This move is non-controversial, and should not have been put to a vote, as use of the incorrect character is, well, obviously incorrect. As for the diacritics, I do not see a problem with using modified Latin alphabets as is, with redirects for ASCII/ISO 8859-1. Int21h (talk) 05:22, 6 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

– Per recent RfC and RMs at WP:VIETCON, and also increasing use of full Unicode fonts in modern English academic sources, e.g. Bruce M. Lockhart, William J. Duiker Historical Dictionary of Vietnam 2006 entry p.202 "Lê Đức Thọ" etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:31, 3 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Heavy usage of a single source

edit

I noticed that the majority of this page is based on the book Our Vietnam: The War 1954-1975. I think more diversity in sources would be appropriate. Added a template to the page, feel free to remove after adding more sources, or if you think I am mistaken in placing the template, let me know.
