Considering ISIS has been completely driven out of Iraq, shouldn't the map be made to show that? Letters From Adi ( talk) 03:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Vietnam is colored light blue on the map, implying that it recognizes unregistered cohabitation. However, Vietnam does not have specific unregistered cohabitation laws. I can provide you with a list of reliable sources.
Kwamikagami claims that: "In Vietnam, you have to register where you live, so that is quite literally registered cohabitation." (citation needed)
First of all, what does "registered cohabiation" mean? Perhaps what they meant is "registered partnership", or maybe "unregistered cohabitation". The term "registered cohabitation" does not exist.
Besides, all content must be verifiable. In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Anyone can leave a note on the talk page asking for a source. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed.
The accuracy of a statement may be a cause for concern if:
It contains unlikely information, without providing suitable references;
It has been written (or edited) by a user who is known to write inaccurately on the topic;
It contains information which is ambiguous and open to interpretation, either due to grammar, or opinionated wording;
There are reliable sources supporting two or more different claims.
Kwamikagami's claim about "registered cohabitations" in Vietnam is somewhat misleading. A list of reliable sources are presented below:
The first source states that:
"While the ruling, which came into effect on New Year’s Day, allows same-sex couples to wed without fear of criminal prosecution, Vietnam’s Communist Party stopped short of extending ANY rights or privileges to same-sex couples — the government won’t recognize same-sex unions nor provide legal protection to them."

The second source states that:
"The law no longer specifically prohibits same-sex marriages, but says they aren't recognized by the government. It does not allow same-sex partnership either, although the issue has been open for discussion during many house meetings."
The final source states that:
"There is a major flaw in the law. According to Clause 2, Article 8 of the new law, although it allows same-sex weddings, such couples are neither recognized nor protected under the law. Although Vietnam abolished its ban on same-sex marriage, the law has a very limited effect in practice. If not recognized by the state, such marriages will not be protected by law for matters such as personal and property rights."

The claim that Vietnam recognizes same-sex unions is MISSING CONTEXT, because without additional information it could be misleading. It is true that Vietnam abolished its ban on same-sex marriage and allowed symbolic same-sex weddings. However, same-sex couples are neither recognized nor protected under the law.
Vietnam doesn’t recognize same-sex unions so it should be changed to gray. Please, update the map. Provide sources of the opposite if you disagree.
According to international law and Wikipedia itself, Taiwan is a partially-recognized state. Kosovo is recognized by 101 states, and Palestine is recognized by 138 states. Both states listed in the section "Partially-recognized states". Taiwan is recognized by 13 small countries such as Haiti, Nauru, Tuvalu etc. None of the Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council recognize Taiwan. In contrast, Kosovo is recognized by the US, the UK and France. Palestine is recognized by China and Russia. So why is Taiwan being treated differently from Kosovo and Palestine? Is it a sacred cow? No. Fact remains a fact. Cyanmax ( talk) 21:03, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Thesavagenorwegian did u even look at my edits? I didn't change the definition of Taiwan. If you look carefully, Taiwan is still defined as a country. I moved Taiwan to the right section per [1], but it's still defined as a country with marriage, and I didn't change that. So your tantrum here seems absolutely illogical and ludicrous.
