Comments
  • Done Don't overlink Vietnamese, as seen in the lede, after its first mention, it shouldn't be linked again, other than little exceptions, per WP:OVERLINK and WP:REPEATLINK
  • Done Unlink Socialist Republic of Vietnam as it is just a redirect to the main country article, which has already been linked, another WP:OVERLINK issue
  • Done "the regular and coordinated operation and stability" to main "and"'s in there, which leads to me not understanding that sentence due to this, so perhaps "and" could be replaced with "as well as", or something
  • Done Don't use words like "current", as per WP:RELTIME, it should be replaced with with "As of ..., the president is", or something more, or different
  • Done "only been" remove only, as it doesn't represent a neutral point of view
  • Done "been 14 presidents of Vietnam if the presidents of South Vietnam are counted" to "been 14 presidents if the ones of South Vietnam are counted", or something
  • Done "-" should be a period as "."
  • Done Add alt text to the portrait images per MOS:IMAGES

  • Oppose for now on images and referencing
With the exception of the Van & Cooper note and the point with the fair use images, you are completely wrong with everything you just wrote here... All of these pictures have a date (with the exception of one, which I fixed), and all of these pictures are in the public domain in Vietnam.. Stupid.... --TIAYN (talk) 16:13, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • A date they were taken, not when they were published. The copyright in Vietnam is based on publication date. They may be (probably are) PD in Vietnam, but not in the US as they would have been extended by the URAA. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:19, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't edit my comments. If I am satisfied, I will strike them. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:20, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, please redact your personal attack. Calling me stupid will not change the fact that several of these images are possibly not PD in the US.
Regarding the bibliography, what is the reason for having six books listed? You say its not overkill, why? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:22, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote Done for a reason, I've fixed it (the books and ther eferences that is). --TIAYN (talk) 16:35, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have a tendency to use aggressive wording, doesn't really mean anything... Me calling someone stupid is, well, a very common occurrence. --TIAYN (talk) 16:38, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

General comment I would advocate merging all these minimalist tables into one larger one, with an additional column for the title of the "president". Right now it's a bit messy. Once that's done, I'm happy to review the whole thing. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:39, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but I was told that such structuring was breach of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Data tables tutorial. --TIAYN (talk) 08:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done Well it depends entirely on how you restructure it. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:58, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "supervises the work as well as preserving the stability of the national governmental system" - perhaps "as well as preserving"→'and preserves'?
  • "Officially there have been 9 presidents of Vietnam, but there have, in total, been 14 presidents if the ones of South Vietnam are counted." - per WP:ORDINAL write these numbers out in full
  • The rank is confusing. Upon navigating to the linked article, I now assume that it means rank in the party (it seems odd that the president isn't always top dog). The note to the table is long and confusing to me. Can this idea be clarified in the text or table better please?
  • File:Ho Chi Minh 1946 cropped.jpg and File:TonDucThang1948.jpg are up for deletion. I siggest finding alternative images
  • File:Picture of Nguyen Huu Tho.jpeg and File:Picture of Vo Chi Cong.jpeg are non-free have no FUR for this list; I removed them
