editCategory:WikiProject Vietnam articles only has 22 articles in it, so it's not going to give you the results you're expecting. Kaldari (talk) 21:46, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- No worries, that's because the WikiProject template was just modified to include the category, and most of the pages are still loading cached versions. The category will get filled up as more pages are updated. Thanks for pointing this out though! dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 21:50, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

But I'd welcome input on style and other ideas about the content as well, if you have any. Smkolins (talk) 14:06, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll take a look at it when I have a chance. Gave it a quick glance just now—that's a lot of content :O I've been in touch with someone who has photos of the school too, so I may be able to contribute some to the article. dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 15:52, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

GNH has been described by critics as a propaganda tool used by the Bhutanese government to distract from ethnic cleansing and human rights abuses it has committed.[1][2] According to the critics, the original GNH philosophy tenets were not compatible with modern, open and democratic societies. Two of the four main tenants, specifically, good governance and cultural preservation were linked to the suffering and unhappiness of many of Kingdom population. They claim that government propaganda has resulted in the corruption of historical truth about the original meaning of GNH and resulting government policies. For three decades since the coining of the phrase GNH, the kingdom was ruled as a monarchy and authoritarian rule. Bhutan became a democracy only after 2008. Before that time the country saw one of the largest ethno-religious cleansing against its non-Buddhist population of ethnic Nepalese of Hindu faith as a result of the GNH cultural preservation. The government denied ethnic cleansing charges but international organizations documented the events. According to Human Rights Watch, “Over 100,000 or 1/6 of the population of Bhutan of Nepalese origin and Hindu faith were expelled from the country because they would not integrate with Bhutan’s Buddhist culture.” [3] Refugee Council of Australia called it "Gross National Hypocrisy". Referring to the government GNH propaganda, the council state that “It is extraordinary and shocking that a nation can get away with expelling one sixth of its people and somehow keep its international reputation largely intact. The Government of Bhutan should be known not for Gross National Happiness but for Gross National Hypocrisy." [4] This criticism has been countered by Bhutanese and some western promoters of Bhutan GNH philosophy, stating that GNH is a process of development and learning, rather than an objective norm or absolute end point. Bhutan aspires to enhance the happiness of its people and GNH serves as a measurement tool for realizing that aspiration. [5]. Scholars who defend Bhutan GNH history are seen as Bhutan apologetics and are criticized for presenting only a rosy picture of the GNH while failing to condemn or even mention the impact of the negative historical GNH policies of the Kingdom. According to the Economist Magazine, “the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is not in fact an idyll in a fairy tale. It is home to perhaps 900,000 people most of whom live in grinding poverty.” The headlines of the nations’ leading papers continue to document increasing levels of political corruption, the rapid spread of diseases such as aids and tuberculosis, gang violence, abuses against women and ethnic minorities, shortages in food/medicine, and economic woes that make Bhutan barely discernible from any other nation. Given the size of its population, Bhutan is actually in much worse shape than most of the GDP measuring nations that GNH advocates like to condemn. [6] The government linked Centre for Bhutan Studies that is credited with the creation of Bhutan's local GNH Index and assumed the lead role as the international promoter of Bhutan GNH history in western academic and political circles, failed to mention the earlier GNH policy mistakes and how western scholarly contributions and democratic values influenced and changed GNH policies to fit modern democratic governance values. Some western historical researchers state that Bhutan's GNH philosophy “has evolved over the last decade through the contribution of western and local scholars to a version that is more democratic and open. Therefore, probably, the more accurate historical reference is to mention the coining of the GNH phrase as a key event, but not the Bhutan GNH philosophy, because the philosophy as understood by western scholars is different from the philosophy used by the King at the time.” [7] Scholars who defend Bhutan GNH history are seen as Bhutan apologetics and are criticized for not reporting on the negative impact of historical GNH policies of the Kingdom. According to the Economist Magazine, “The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is not in fact an idyll in a fairy tale. It is home to perhaps 900,000 people most of whom live in grinding poverty. The headlines of the nations’ leading papers continue to document increasing levels of political corruption, the rapid spread of diseases such as aids and tuberculosis, gang violence, abuses against women and ethnic minorities, shortages in food/medicine, and economic woes that make Bhutan barely discernible from any other nation. Given the size of its population, Bhutan is actually in much worse shape than most of the GDP measuring nations that GNH advocates like to condemn”. [8] References

Isabelle de Charrière
editHello Dragfyre, Could write/translate an article about Isabelle de Charrière for the Vietnamese Wikipedia? Because she is already mentioned on https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/9604_Bellevanzuylen , that is the asteriod named after her. Or maybe you can find someone else at the Vietnamese Wikipedia if you can't do it. Boss-well63 (talk) 17:35, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Boss-well63: Hey! I can take a stab at it, sure. I probably won't be able to translate the whole article into Vietnamese, but I should be able to create a stub with the basic information at the very least. dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 04:26, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks in advance. Boss-well63 (talk) 13:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Translation help?
editI found you from the list of translators, so I hope you can help me. I am working on Draft:Longan witches broom-associated virus and I have used google translate to get me most of the way, but it seems that the Vietnamese terms for the disease do not use the word 'witch'. The terms I found are chổi rồng trên nhãn,[1] chổi rồng hại nhãn, bệnh chùn ngọn, bệnh chổi sể, and bệnh hủi nhãn.[2] Google lends me to believe that these terms refer to dragons and not witches, which seems plausible given the idiom 'witches broom' doesn't necessarily mean anything in Vietnam. I am hoping you can provide a good literal translation, and hopefully I can use it as a DYK hook for halloween or something. Let me know if I'm close or not. Thanks! --Nessie (talk) 02:57, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
