Source for the Neo-Nazi flag

I saw that you added a Vietnamese Neo-Nazi flag, can you confirm that this is a real organisation? --Donald Trung (talk) 23:57, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, although not famous like the Communist Party of Vietnam, or Viet Tan Party, it’s pretty exist Some Vietnamese don’t like the Communist Party, but they also don’t prefer any Democratic/Capitalist Parties, and are very nationalist Daeva Trạc (talk) 00:02, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, but do you have a source for that image? The image itself doesn't list a website or a photograph. I know that Vietnamese Neo-Nazi's exist, I just haven't seen this flag before. -- Donald Trung (talk) 00:25, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for late response (I did send you mail though), as you may know, the Neo-Nazist Vietnamese exists, but not famous simply because they are somewhat not united. So I just recreate the flag based on one of their designs. You can delete it if you want, I just want people know they are technically exist and may get very dangerous overtime (but that’s another topic). Daeva Trạc (talk) 20:04, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

I haven't received any e-mail. I prefer not to delete anything, rather I prefer to source them. Any URL from the group itself would suffice. just add it to the "Source" field at the Wikimedia Commons. Feel free to write more about the Neo-Nazi phenomenon in Vietnam as unfortunately we don't have any articles on them. Donald Trung (talk) 20:10, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your encouragement But an editor wants a more reliable sources rather than just information from a unknown group So until those nazist do something that cause attention, I cannot say anything about them I will try my best to improve Wikipedia as you said. It may have some mistakes but I like to learn. Currently, I want to translate information from the English wiki to the Vietnamese version, especially on history and politic topics, hope can learn more from you and all the editors.

Kingdom of Luang Prabang (Japanese puppet state)

Hi my friend. I hope you are fine. I have removed a large amount of unreferenced information. The new page review is one of the last approval stages, so when I see a page like this with a large amount of unreferenced information, and no {{In use}} tag to show that the page is undergoing a major build, I tend to err on the side of caution and remove the unreferenced information. The easiest solution is for you to add the tag to indicate the page is still under construction (if it is). This prevents me and other editors from editing the page until the process is complete and the tag is removed. Please assume good faith of me, as I do of you. By all means add the information again when you can add the references. Best wishes, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 02:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

The page is indeed, still under editing, however, all the info I took was come from the article French protectorate of Laos, the Japanese puppet section. This article is a split since the original one contains 2 entities, but the name only implies 1. Daeva Trạc (talk) 11:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

The info was from Wikipedia itself (see French protectorate of Laos#Laos during World War II and French protectorate of Laos#Japanese puppet state. The point of this article is to separate with the unrelated one (French Laos and Japanese Laos were different entities). Just like we have a separate article for Japanese Vietnam and Japanese Cambodia. Daeva Trạc (talk) 11:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

@BoyTheKingCanDance my point is if the info is “wrong” and should be deleted, so does the original article. I haven’t sited it, but it doesn’t mean I won’t, though it is my fault for not putting the In use code. Daeva Trạc (talk) 11:51, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Greater Turkey map

While a map depicting the interredist claims on the territories of neighboring countries can be helpful for the readers in understanding the subject, Wikipedia requires that any information, including such maps, are always sourced for the needs of verifiability. I have removed the map on the grounds that it lacked any reliable sources. Feel free to restore the edits if any WP:RS are provided. Thanks and have a good day. - ❖ SilentResident ❖ ^{(talk ✉ | contribs ✎)} 20:15, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Ok. Daeva Trạc (talk) 20:18, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Just to be sure, can you check if this is valid enough (extremists’ sources are considered not reliable but I managed to find a news website), @SilentResident. [1] Daeva Trạc (talk) 21:13, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Sorry but the map shown on the news website you pointed to, doesn't verify your map; is quite different to the one you have created. It includes areas your map doesn't, and excludes areas yours does include. If, and only if, you make the necessary adjustments to your work, and WP:CITE the source, then yes, your map may be used in Wikipedia. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ^{(talk ✉ | contribs ✎)} 18:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Please don't add flags, maps, and unsourced or badly sourced info

According to WP:UGC, you cannot add primarily user generated content as sources. This includes blogs such as wordpress, tumblr, or personal sites. Wikipedia as well. You cannot source using Wikipedia. Many of the maps you add are made by yourself and sourced with the above content, citing only wiki pages and UGC with no real source as to where the maps came from. The map you added at Hồng Bàng dynasty for example should not be there regardless of source since it is a legendary entity, especially one that is so poorly sourced in the page itself. You also shouldn't directly translate info from other language wikis to the English version when there are no sources. The names you added to Baiyue are not mentioned in the article at all. Qiushufang (talk) 04:22, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

It was mentioned until the deletion, but if you prefer, I will also add Chinese, Vietnamese, and if possible, English non-Wiki sources.

Maps are made from information provided, I didn’t make those up, just based on what I could find (Hong Bang dynasty is basically a mythical entity already, so why try to delete one myth and not the another?)

I also listed Wikipedia sources because there are usually outside sources inside, and it’s also away for Wikipedian to check their own information (if one is considered wrong, so should the other).

Anyway, will update more sources for my maps and the Wikis themselves later on. Daeva Trạc (talk) 04:30, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
