[edit] Chinese or Vietnamese

It should be noted explicitly on the page whether or not his parents were vietnamese or chinese, so that he is not confused to be a chinese living in vietnam. references should be added. can anybody find a source? it is not taken for granted that he is an ethnic vietnamese just because his surname is nguyen. the surname nguyen originated from china, and there are chinese equivalents of nguyen in china. it is thinkable that he changed his surname to sound vietnamese when he moved to vietnam, whether or not his chinese surname was equivalant to the vietnamese nguyen or not.213.161.232.4 08:51, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

With a surname like "Nguyen", it's obvious that Hieu was ethnically Vietnamese, so references to him "immigrating" to Vietnam might be inappropriate. 207.178.224.50 23:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Immigrate= come into a new country and change residency. Although both of his parents were Vietnamese and emigrated (left one's country of residence for a new one) to China, and he inherited his surname "Nguyen" from them, Hieu was born in China and came into Vietnam, which was a new country for him and change residency from China to Vietnam.
That is a little bit stretching though, I concede. Perhaps it is more appropriate in saying, "He accompanied his father (his mother died before the family went back) who immigrated..." 68.161.219.240 03:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gen.NguyenVanHieu.JPG

Image:Gen.NguyenVanHieu.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
