The article says "Sa Nam village, Ðông-liệt District, in the region between Mount Hùng and the Lam River." What is the current location of this place?

Restoration Flag?
"The Vietnam Restoration League came up with a proposed flag design. Previously, Vietnam never had a flag, only banners to represent royalty. Their flag idea had 5 five-pointed stars, arranged in a square with a star in the middle. It symbolized the five regions of Vietnam. The national flag had red stars on a yellow background, and the military flag had a red background with white stars. The yellow represented their race, the red represented fire which represented their location to the south of China (see I Ching), and the white represented the metal of their weapons..."
If this was before the French seized (and renamed) northern Vietnam as Annam, was the country in which he was born simply called Vietnam (under the Nguyen Dynasty)?

Vietnam had called itself many names throughout history:
Văn Lang - during the Hung Vuong era
Âu Lạc - during An Duong Vuong's reign
Vạn Xuân - a brief independence period from 544 to 602
It seems superfluous. If the reader doesn't know where "Dong Liet District" is, it's unlikely they would know where "Mount Hung" or "Lam River" is.

I haven't seen much significance placed on his birthplace in his hagiography. The only thing that consistently gets mentioned is that he was born in Nghe An.

Unresolved issues
One of the thorniest issues regarding his final capture is the identity of his betrayer. While Phan himself points the finger at Nguyen Thuong Huyen,
Cuong De think it's Lam Duc Thu (Vinh Sinh). According to
Hoang Van Chi, his betrayer was Ho Chi Minh. Joseph Buttinger, in "A Dragon Embattled" (New York: Praeger, 1967), also implicated Ho Chi Minh (for 150,000 French Indochina piastre). Sophie Quinn-Judge and William J. Duiker, both biographers of Ho, dispute this theory.

Naming convention
Note that Phan Boi Chau is one of the few Vietnamese who consistently gets referred to by his surname (Phan) instead of his supposed given name Chau (his birth name was Phan Van San). This article should reflect that convention.

Britannica calls him "Chau". It was Vietnamese custom in Phan Boi Chau's time to use the family name formally, and this is a little fossil remnant of that custom. IMO, it is arbitrary and confusing to write this one article in such a unique and precious style. Other Vietnamese of his generation, for example
Phan Chu Trinh, are now invariably referred to in modern given name style.

Regardless of what this individual was called, the first paragraph at the top of the page is nonsensical. First it says, correctly, that the family name in Phan. Then it says that the given name is Phan, which is nonsense. If he was an exception to the usual naming convention, and was called "Phan," the second sentence ought to read that way. I tried to edit it, but that short paragraph must be part of a template or something, and I couldn't get to it. Can somebody please help?

I removed the
Vietnamese anarchists category, since the subject doesn't appear to be frequently referred to as an anarchist in this article, but the
Anarchism in Vietnam article has statements like Anarchism was first introduced to the Vietnamese anti-colonial movement during the 1900s, by the early nationalist leader Phan Bội Châu. and several other paragraphs mainly devoted to him. --

@
Asilvering; @
Czar: I wrote the anarchism in Vietnam article, so I think I can provide some insight. While Phan was certainly influenced by anarchist ideas, having been close with anarchist activists, and helped introduce them to Vietnam, labelling him an "anarchist" is a bit of a stretch, as it was only one of many influences on his political philosophy. He's certainly a relevant figure in the history of anarchism in Vietnam, and thus I think it's worth keeping his article under the Anarchism WikiProject.
But I also support the removal of the Vietnamese anarchists category from this article. Like other anti-colonial figures influenced by anarchism, but that didn't self-identify as anarchists, I think labelling them as such would be misleading at best and colonialist at worst. As far as I know, the only notable Vietnamese anti-colonial activist from that generation that explicitly self-identified as an anarchist was
Nguyễn An Ninh. --
