How did you come up Sino-Vietnamese characters for vạn tuế and muôn tuổi? The characters you give for vạn tuế are probably correct, but shouldn't the characters for muôn tuổi be different? At any rate, the Nom Foundation gives different characters for the two expressions. I am familiar with the dictionary you cite, so I know for a fact that it does not give characters at all. It is Vietnam's standard comprehensive dictionary. The fact that even this huge dictionary does not give characters is a good indication that they are not part of the modern language. The logical conclusion is that they do not belong in the infobox. H. Humbert (talk) 03:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Now you have added Vu Van Kinh as a reference. As it happens, I am familiar with this dictionary too. It gives 12 Nom characters for muôn. The one you give is listed sixth. Is there any reason to prefer it over other possibilities? H. Humbert (talk) 03:30, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- As far as Nom dictionaries go, you don't have to use Kinh. The Institute of Vietnamese Studies has produced a better dictionary. Unlike Kinh's, it's free and on the Web.[1] H. Humbert (talk) 04:13, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- I really don't think this level of detail belongs in an infobox. I'm planning to remove all the stuff about characters, for the reasons I explained above. H. Humbert (talk) 04:13, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Who are you? edit
You learned how to edit templates too quickly to be a new user. What username did you use before? If you did edit under another name, surely you know that you are expected to respond to the concerns of other editors, per WP:BRD. Finally, why do you like Chinese characters so much? You are adding them to various articles where they strike me as inappropriate. H. Humbert (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Sino-Vietnamese reading and Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary and separate articles. Please don't replace the content of one with material from the other. You could at least give some kind of explanation when you do it. H. Humbert (talk) 08:37, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
