Re:Request for review

The article was deleted as a result of consensus achieved by editors who attended the debate. You've yet to provide any source which verify the notability of the television show, only the sex scandal. The deleted version was like a report of the scandal, not an article on the show itself. You're welcome to recreate the article providing you have reliable sources which directly mention the show. Please also note that, if the sex clip incident is everything that this show is notable for, there shouldn't be an article on it (WP:NOT#NEWS). Best regards, PeaceNT 15:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

English

Your English is many times better than my Vietnamese! :) Badagnani (talk) 06:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you a major in Vietnamese history at a university in Vietnam? You know a lot of detail. Badagnani (talk) 06:45, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam

I'd like to invite you to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam, where a editors who are interested in Vietnam-related topics meet to discuss how to improve and create new content. Just add your name in the list of "Participants." Badagnani (talk) 07:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it must be 14:15 or 2:15 p.m. (if you use numbers greater than 12, you don't have to use a.m. or p.m. because it's clear). It's 2:15 a.m. here. You get up early! Badagnani (talk) 07:19, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Magnifier

Please join Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam to translate Vietnam-related topics into English as a way to bring our country to the world. Thank you. Good job for your Nguyen Thien Nhan article in vi.wikipedia. Can we complete this article in English ? Hoping to see you in Saigon when you have free time.Genghiskhanviet (talk) 05:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

In the expression "vắng chủ nhà, gà vọc niêu tôm," what does "vọc" mean? Badagnani (talk) 22:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I might have to add some meanings at wikt:vắng chủ nhà, gà vọc niêu tôm. Badagnani (talk) 06:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So "vọc" can mean "to try," "to disrupt" (is that right?), or "to mess up"? Badagnani (talk) 07:05, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think the literal meaning of "mọc đuôi" is? It seems strange. Badagnani (talk) 07:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks--but what about the shrimp? I thought the chicken was supposed to be eating the shrimp. But the chicken is wearing new clothing? It's still confusing. Badagnani (talk) 07:35, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is really weird! And the meaning is quite different than the other version ("...the chicken messes up the pot of shrimp"). Badagnani (talk) 07:48, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, both "vắng chủ nhà, gà vọc niêu tôm" and "vắng chủ nhà, gà mọc đuôi tôm" are both commonly used. The meaning of this idiom is that when the head of an organization is absent, the members of the organization will act in their own unorganized way, usually bad acts.Genghiskhanviet (talk) 09:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nguyen Hue

Shall we keep on Nguyen Hue article ? Besides this article, I think there are a lot of Vietnam-related topics that need our contributions. It's not easy for us to do so since most of info relating Vietnam is not available online as well as publicly available and seems to be kept confidential, thus it’s rather hard to provide verifiable information.Genghiskhanviet (talk) 09:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC) Genghiskhanviet (talk) 15:18, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have create an imagine of Quang Trung by using the one from Vietnamese wikipedia. I would like you to show me how to do that! 96.229.179.106 (talk) 06:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry all, I'm currently studying for an important exam, so I can't contribute for Wikipedia now :(.
