Specifics[edit]

When a link contains a section title (as in the examples above), the title actually points to an HTML anchor on the target page. In addition to anchors created automatically by section titles, there are times when it's advantageous to create an anchor on a smaller unit of text, such as a specific paragraph (see § Linking to part of a section below). This can be done using {{Anchor|anchor name}}, or alternatively, the HTML code <span id="anchor name">...</span> (see {{Anchor}} syntax). Anchors are also used when renaming a section, yet still allowing links to the old name to function, or similarly, allowing linking to a section using an abbreviation; see MOS:HEADINGS for more info. Links to anchors can also be added to external URLs and to interwiki links, again using the # syntax.

Section What_is_an_"anchor"?

Help:HTML_in_wikitext

Template:Anchor: The basic format is . To link to an anchor from within the same page, use display text. To link to an anchor from another page, use display text. See Help:Link § Section linking (anchors) for more details.

Basic format

You can define one or more anchor names, separated by |. This can be useful for alternative spellings, such as "humor" and "humour."

In general, if the intended target of an anchor is a section title, then it should be placed at the end of the section header by substitution: == Section header{{subst:anchor|Anchor name}} ==

which will be saved in the article as: == Section header<span class="anchor" id="Anchor name"></span> ==

NOTE: It is not necessary to use class="anchor"; only need to use id="anchor name" is sufficient to define an anchor.

Anchor names are case sensitive, so #Anchor name and #Anchor Name are not equivalent. When making an anchor, in general capitalize the first letter of the anchor name, and follow the same capitalization guidelines as headers (see Manual of Style: Headers for more information).

{{ping|Racconish}} {{ping|Yann}} {{ping|JJMC89}} {{ping|DHN}}

I borrowed Devillers (1952), Histoire du Viet Nam, from the library again, and noted that there was this mention regarding the photo of Ho Chi Minh, Leclerc, Sainteny (1946) on Flickr: "Ci-contre: Leclerc, Ho Chi Minh, Sainteny. Hanoi, 18 mars 1946. Photo S. C. A." This fact supports the finding of [[User:Racconnish|Racconish]] in Section Image search method, French archives/publications NAME-LINK that there was no credit given to a photographer.

NOTE: S. C. A. = Service Cinématographique des Armées (Motion-Picture Service of the Armed Forces), a branch of the "Service Presse Information," mentioned by [[User:Racconnish|Racconish]], who recommended to KEEP the image c:File:1946_Ho_Chi_Minh_Leclerc_Sainteny_2.png close to a month ago on 15:19, 7 April 2024 (UTC).

LIFE/Time does NOT own copyright: Solid evidence 3[edit]

{{ping|Racconish}} {{ping|Yann}} {{ping|JJMC89}} {{ping|DHN}}

In the issue of LIFE, 1968 Mar 22, Vol. 64, No. 12, which is also included below the photo of Ho Chi Minh, Leclerc, Sainteny (1946) on Flickr, the image c:File:Ho Chi Minh and OSS Deer Team, Bac Bo Palace, 1945 Sep.png was published without credit.

Based on the careful search in the LIFE image archive in Section "LIFE/Time does NOT own copyright: Solid evidence 1", LIFE does not hold the copyright for the image c:File:Ho Chi Minh and OSS Deer Team, Bac Bo Palace, 1945 Sep.png.

In the award-winning history book by Logevall (2012) below, the image c:File:Ho Chi Minh and OSS Deer Team, Bac Bo Palace, 1945 Sep.png was published with the credit given to a "Private collection" ! The photographer is clearly unknown.

In the book based on The_Vietnam_War_(TV_series), by Geoffrey C. Ward & Ken Burns (2017), The Vietnam War: An Intimate History, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, the same image LINK was published with the credit given to "Alex K. Thomas papers, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan." Major Allison (Alex) K. Thomas, commander of the OSS Deer Team, sat on the left of Ho Chi Minh in the image c:File:Ho Chi Minh and OSS Deer Team, Bac Bo Palace, 1945 Sep.png.

See a detailed documentation on this photo in Section "Update on misprint in EW p.86, 2024.05.04" in Notes on Vietnam History, version 2024.05.04, or for future versions, go to Notes on Vietnam History, Internet Archive.

The unknown photographer cannot be a French colonial-army personnel, who was not allowed in this Viet Minh stronghold at Tan Trao in 1945. Thus this photographer can only be either a Viet Minh photographer, in which case the {{PD-Vietnam}} license applies, or a member of the OSS Deer Team, in which case the {{PD-USGov-Military-Army}} license applies.

So I used both templates {{PD-Vietnam}} and {{PD-USGov-Military-Army}} in the image c:File:Ho Chi Minh and OSS Deer Team, Bac Bo Palace, 1945 Sep.png to cover both cases.

Bao Dai to de Gaulle
I beg you to understand that the only means of safeguarding French interests and the spiritual influence of France in Indochina is to recognize the independence of Vietnam unreservedly and to renounce any idea of reestablishing French sovereignty or rule here in any form. . . . Even if you were to reestablish the French administration here, it would not be obeyed, and each village would be a nest of resistance. . . . We would be able to understand each other so easily and become friends if you would stop hoping to become our masters again.

Example:

The Note link-labels, such as N.bda in superscript, are unique identifiers for the corresponding Notes, with "N" standing for "Note", followed by a period and three or four characters summarizing the Note contents, e.g., "bda" for "Bao Dai abdication," which is the title (in italics) of the Note N.bda. In front of each Note, the uparrow ↑ preceeding a Note link such as (↑ N.bda) indicates the link to jump back UP to the main text where the link N.bda appears.

The target of the link (↑ N.bda) is the HTML anchor with the code <span id="Bao Dai abdication jump"></span> having the anchor name being "Bao Dai abdication jump", without an Anchor_text (or link text, or link label) inside. The code [[#Bao Dai abdication jump|N.bda]] creates the link (see Help:Link) with label "N.bda" to jump back UP to the main text where the anchor with anchor name "Bao Dai abdication jump" was embedded.

Minimum in-line citations[edit]

Comment: mixed referencing format. stick to one, either footnotes or inline citations. for biographies, it is highly encouraged to use inline citations. – robertsky (talk) 13:41, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

When you must use inline citations

Our sourcing policies do not require an inline citation for any other type of material, although it is typical for editors to voluntarily exceed these minimum standards. However any material lacking an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source. Substantially exceeding them is a necessity for any article to be granted good or featured article (or list) status. The featured article criteria, for example, require that articles seeking to exemplify Wikipedia's very best work must be "well-researched," defined as a "thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature", presented by "consistently formatted inline citations using footnotes". If you can't find the source of a statement without an inline citation after a good-faith look, ask on the talk page, or request a citation. As of 2022, there was no specified amount of inline citation that an article must have before being eligible for nomination as a Featured Article, Good Article, or (when applicable) A-Class article, and no particular style is favored over any other.

Incorrect description in Vietnamese pronouns[edit]

DHN: I have always been bothered by the Introduction of Vietnamese pronouns, which turns out to be incorrect, both logically and mathematically, as follows. I work on math/mechanics every day; see my list of Publications and their impact (through number of citations) in Google Scholar.

Logically and mathematically, consider a larger set A that contains a smaller set B. One says that "A is more general then B," or "B is a particular case of A." Concretely, set A is the collection of pronouns in the article Vietnamese pronouns, whereas set B is a much smaller collection of pronouns in the article Đại từ nhân xưng, which can be translated into English and French. There are Vietnamese pronouns that contain nuances in relationships that do not have equivalences in Engish or French, or in Western languages in general.

A Venn diagram can be drawn to pictorially explain set A containing set B.

Hence, logically and mathematically, the article Đại từ nhân xưng, with its equivalent Personal pronoun, is a particular case—NOT a more general case—of the article Vietnamese pronouns.

Let me know if you see something else.
