A user suggests that this English entry be cleaned up, giving the reason: “On 1 October 2014 (diff), the English entry was split into two noun sections, but the translations weren't changed. Now the noun section's definition and the translation section's definition inside that noun section don't match. Additionally, compared with Wikipedia another sense ("A name of Vietnam used prior to 1945") is missing here.”
