[edit] Han Tu

Article needs Han Tu. Badagnani 07:26, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. Badagnani 17:04, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Wait--should it be 永隆 instead? Badagnani 22:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

It's funny to add Han Tu to this province. Genghiskhanviet (talk) 15:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Districts

Article needs list of districts within Vinh Long. Badagnani 17:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. Badagnani 17:04, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toponym

What is the history and use of the toponym "Vĩnh Long"? The province is newly created, but was this place name in use before that, and, if so, for how long was it used and did it apply strictly to the city or also to the general area? Badagnani (talk) 20:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Need etymology of Long Hồ. Badagnani (talk) 02:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Long Ho

Where did this sentence come from?

“ The province was named Long Hồ before 1975. ”

Badagnani (talk) 20:17, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

This is spurious. The map of South Vietnam to the right clearly showed Vinh Long province. I've added an administrative history section. DHN (talk) 21:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
