A fact from Wildlife of Vietnam appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 16 April 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the wildlife of Vietnam includes the saola (pictured), an antelope-like animal unknown to Western science until found in 1992 in the Bach Ma National Park?

National parks[edit]

The National parks section is too incomplete to be in a live article. I have commented it out twice but my edits were reverted. The List of national parks of Vietnam will suffice until it is completed. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 10:32, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will complete it tomorrow as my internet connectivity is giving [problems If you feel like you are welcome to add. --Nvvchar. 10:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For the sake of other here is my tallk page reply on this matter:

Editors should consider the readers of Wikipedia to be of utmost importance. Your connectivity problems and your desire to post it as a DYN should not impinge on usability for the readership of Wikipedia. Therefore, the section that is an incomplete draft should remain commented out since it is only a draft. Also, the material in the National parks section is also getting off topic which is why I suggested that it is split out to another article. Can I suggest that you use some other location for working on drafts rather than on a live article. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 10:51, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Above issues have been addressed and new page has been created under the title Protected areas of Vietnam.--Nvvchar. 13:45, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fauna[edit]

The beginning of this section needs more attention. It starts with "Main article: List of mammals of Vietnam", which gives an impression that what follows is about mammals, but this is not the case, nor it ought to be. Then there is a long list of animals, which looks like a random pick from the Vietnamese fauna, without any systematic structure. The list includes species that are not part of the Vietnamese fauna, at least not at present: based on a somewhat random sample, Agile gibbon and Lar gibbon should not be on this list.
