Changes

*'''Diacritics'''. In July and August of 2011, there was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28use_English%29/Diacritics_RfC an RFC on diacritics] with a very large participation. This RFC proposed that Wikipedia follow the style of ''Britannica'' and ''National Geographic''. Although these two publications represent the most diacritic-friendly style models that the authors of the proposal could come up with, neither uses Vietnamese diacritics. Nor did anyone in the discussion suggest that they should be added. I rewrote the Vietnam naming guideline to reflect the apparent consensus of the RFC. I also made various article moves to comply with this rewritten guideline. The changes I made to the guideline, as well as the article moves I made, were in effect for over two years.

:The purpose of an article title is to tell the reader the English-language name of the subject. None of the relevant style guides or reference works support the idea of including diacritics in the English-language form of a Vietnamese name. The situation is thus quite different than for European diacritics, as I discuss in detail [http://www.conservapedia.com/User:PeterKa/Diacritics_proposal here].

*'''Filipacchi'''. When I posted a draft of my first Arbcom appeal on Wikipediocracy, it [http://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3489&view=unread unleashed a storm of personal attacks]. As these attacks focused on [http://www.conservapedia.com/User:PeterKa/Filipacchi an essay I wrote concerning gender categories], I will comment on this essay briefly. I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Amatulic&oldid=555311398#My_user_page_keeps_getting_blanked consulted Amatulic] at the time and followed his advice in good faith. That’s a full defense regardless of what anyone might think of the essay itself. Not only that, but the content of the essay is innocuous.
