Mzilikazi1939: The difference between quoting using colons and quoting using my method is that the former is only meant to be used for definition lists (the indentation is just a side effect), while the latter actually creates a proper HTML blockquote element. (you can confirm this by looking at the rendered HTML of the page) The former method
creates an accessibility issue. The proper way to format block quotations is either with <blockquote> or by using a template that emits that markup like {{
quote}}. (additionally,
the poem tag is used to preserve linebreaks) See also an essay I've written
on the subject. (I admit that saying something is "proper" is presumptuous and am open to a wording that would have conveyed the reasoning better.) We could argue all day about what is better looking, but at the end of the day that's subjective while one method is semantically incorrect, while the other is friendlier to screen readers and those that reuse Wikipedia content. (the mobile site even formats blockquotes distinctively) If you're concerned about the width of the blockquote, that can be modified using the CSS padding
attribute, although I would suggest letting user agents style the text and relying on Wikipedias default stylesheet.

Sorry did not realise that we could leave messages This was because the allegation was not justified by anyone and as if the poem and the story are fictional - as we will see in the future the truth, I thought for a moment it is not a good gesture for the person to mark the scandal as if it was the truth. You know with the suicides in Korea and all that.. I was just being sensible, I suppose. Thanks anyways. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.239.81.94 ( talk) 09:08, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
There is no mention of Ko's denial (see article in KT and brief mention in Paris Rev.). Should there be? I don't think he has been convicted in any court except the court of public opinion. In fact, he filed a large law suit in his defense in the year of the controversy ( http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/culture/2022/02/142_245069.html), which he lost the next year ( http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20190215000632).
