Talk:Reunification Day

I added the second paragraph as a NPOV as possible of overseas Vietnamese to provide a complete picture of that day and what it means to the Vietnamese people as a whole. To be honest, overseas Vietnamese do not consider it a day of liberation and find offense to the communist government's deliberate candy coated manipulation of history by naming it as such. But, this comment is very POV and as such I have left it here and not the main article. --hvn73 11:14, 21 December 2005 (UTC)----

Change this article's title to "Reunification Day of Vietnam"

In the history, Germany was unified twice; Spain, Italy, Yugoslavia, Romania and Yemen were unified once respectively. The first unification of Germany was finished on 18 January, 1871, when German Empire was established after the end of three German Unification Wars. The reunification of Germany took place on 3 October, 1990, when all territory of East Germany was merged into West Germany peacefully. Thus, German Unity Day, also the national day of Germany, is on 3 October since 1990. The unification of Spain was finished on 2 January, 1492, when Granada was annexed by Spain. The unification of Italy was finished on 20 September 1870, when Kingdom of Italy occupied Rome. The unification of Yugoslavia was finished on 1 December, 1918, when Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (changed its national name to Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929) was established after the end of World War I. The unification of Romania was finished by Treaty of Trianon in 1920. According to this treaty, Kingdom of Romania got Transylvania from the former country Austria-Hungary. The unification of Yemen took place on 22 May, 1990, when North Yemen merged with South Yemen to form Republic of Yemen peacefully. In conclusion, please change this article's title to "Reunification Day of Vietnam", in order to distinguish from the unification day of other countries. MouseCatDog (talk) 11:40, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Overseas Vietnamese

@SigillumVert:, the fall of Saigon article mentions in a number of sentences how this is conmemorated in Vietnam and links to this article, as it should be. Likewise, this article would be incomplete without mentioning how many overseas Vietnamese commemorate this day (as something to lament). I think the sourced content you deleted should be restored.

Please note the difference between a historical event and a public holiday. This is not a POV-fork of the historical event. Talking about a public holiday in a manner that is neutral and informative to the reader is not propaganda. And the article is neutrally written already, so is no need to “respond” to what you call “stupid propaganda”. The rationale behind adding this two decades ago was faulty. Inserting topics that are not related to the public holiday, but to commemoration of a historical event abroad (where it is not a public holiday) is a misunderstanding of WP:NPOV and a poor attempt of false balance. NPOV doesn't mean we need to “both sides” everything. It means that articles must be written in a neutral and objective tone.

Furthermore, they are not commemorating Reunification day, they are lamenting the Fall of Saigon as you said. On the page on the Fall of Saigon these commemorations are clearly mentioned. By all means, go and expand them there if you wish. And I hope you don't take offence in me being blunt. SigillumVert (talk) 11:51, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

I don't take offence. You've been polite all along. We disagree, that's all. Just to clarify, I never saw this as an NPOV thing; I just think that the deleted content is on topic. But I don't have any additional arguments to offer at the moment. AwerDiWeGo (talk) 20:55, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
