Currently, Japan-Korea relations covers both "Japan-ROK relations" and "Japan-DPRK relations". ROK(South Korea) and DPRK(North Korea) share pre-division history, but after the division and civil war each government have had a different relationship with Japan. Thus, it seems reasonable to split the article into two. Please join the discussion at Talk:Japan–Korea_relations if you're interested. Thanks, --- PBJT ( talk) 19:25, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

I've begun an article on Father Mun Jeong Hyeon, a leading anti-U.S.-military activist and last month's winner of the Gwangju Prize. I've got a good start from English language sources, but it seems likely that even more will be available in Korean language. Would any bilingual editors care to take a look?

The article Nureongi states that there is no fixed word for the Korean native livestock dog. It goes on to talk about the various names that Koreans have given to this , even going so far as to use Chinese and Korean characters, but gives no official Korean language name for this dog as there isn’t one. On the other hand, the article section Dog meat#South Korea does refer to one Korean-language noun phrase that was officially used by Korean officials when discussing a proposal, which was not approved, to have this dog officially declared “livestock”. Unfortunately, however, the translation into English that article uses is the phrase “ Slaughter dog”, which, as you can see, is a red link, sounds like a literal translation, perhaps a machine translation, of the original Korean language noun phrase used in the government document, and as you may know, is not a common English language noun phrase. So this is my question if you would please, what was the original Korean language phrase used in the failed proposal? Would “ Meat dog”, “native Korean livestock dog” or “ Nureongi” be better translations? Chrisrus ( talk) 04:23, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

There has been trouble at Human rights in North Korea. Many of the references used in the article were quite outdated, and an ip editor with a strong DPRK point of view began vigorously editing. The ip was blocked for 24 hours but will probably return. It is quite likely the ip has made some good edits, but many are not good, and there are lots of them.

Although this problem is not directly relevant to this Project I'm asking for help here as WP doesn't seem to have a venue for asking for foreign language assistance.

In August an WP:SPA started a few articles about the Shinchonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony and its leader Lee Man-Hee.

Editors on this WikiProject may be interested in the ongoing RfC on Talk:Caste. The article lists Korea as a region that has historically had a caste system, along with other countries, claims which some editors have found controversial. Editors critical of the current article have argued that the article has become a WP:COATRACK used to push the view that the caste system is not linked to Hinduism or India, while others have defended the article's portrayal of the caste as a universal phenomenon. The input of editors familiar with Korean history would be most helpful in this discussion. Was Korean society a caste? Is that a mainstream view and should Korea be listed?-- Ninthabout ( talk) 14:39, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Please, let's put a map of Korea (North, South, the peninsula -- what-ever is appropriate) on every city and other locale article about Korea. At present, most or all of them only have province maps. We cannot assume that our readers know where any particular province is. Take a look at, e.g., the article on Chicago: it shows Illinois in the US as well as Chicago in Illinois (and a third, intermediary map). We need to do the same for Korea.

Chinese POV editors are attempting to delete/merge the entire article on the Northeast Project(동북공정) with Goguryeo Controversies, which I dare say in the absence of participation from neutral or Korean editors has dilapidated to a biased article. While Goguryeo Controversies is another matter, I believe the first thing to do is for the WikiProject Korea to turn its attention to the Northeast Project and the attempt of Chinese POV editors from destroying it. The Northeast Project is an important subject matter which has been a turning point in Korean strategic stance and diplomacy, and still the subject is widely covered in the news media and widely discussed in academic papers.

Hi, I just added the template Template:Kim Jong-il family to Wikiproject Korea (as Top importance too because it's an important part of very high-profile articles). Recent high readership has been causing a flurry of edits to the template and one aspect that's been changing is the romanization of the Korean names. This was good however as it brought to my attention Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Korea-related articles. The most recent editor to change the names, I think has brought the template into conformance with the manual of style for North Korean related topics. However the biographic articles that the templates link to (which are all also North Korean topics) use a different romanization. This may indicate a large non-conformance between those articles and the manual of style. So I'm bringing the issue here for advice and some help. I don't speak Korean, except for this template, haven't done much editing on Korean topics; that makes it extra hard to know what to do. Should all the biographic articles' romanization be changed now? Please also see the discussion at Template_talk:Kim_Jong-il_family#Romanization. Jason Quinn ( talk) 18:05, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

This may be of interest to those of us here at WP:KOREA since our own articles are inconsistent in this regard: some use {{ ko-hhrm}} or {{ lang-ko}} to include Korean names in the lede sentence, while others use only {{ Infobox Korean name}} and don't list any Korean names in the lede, and some do both. In any case, your comments are welcome on the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lead section#Proposal: move most translations and transliterations from lead sentence to footnote. Thanks, quant18 ( talk) 04:53, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
I just want to get people's opinion on the articles that are being created now for Korean given names. The category containing these names can be found here.
In my opinion, this is a useless collection of articles, and the list of names is basically endless. There's no list of English given names, so should there really be a list of Korean names?
Additionally, now the same user who is creating these articles has begun to create articles about individual syllables within given names. Examples include Jae and Young.
I'm curious to see what other people think of this. I just don't think that the creation of these articles improves Wikipedia at all. If they are to exist, perhaps the Wiktionary would be a better place for them since the articles usually include only one sentence explaining that it is a name or a syllable, and then a list of famous people who share the name.

Thanks for your input, I see your point. The single-syllable articles are the ones that motivated me to write this. I mentioned the given names because I didn't see them being very useful but I can see now after looking at some of the lists you provided that the articles can become more detailed and helpful in some situations. I also wasn't saying that because no list of English names exists, that no Korean list should. I was just saying that if you think of it in terms of English names, it would be silly to try to create articles for every English given name that exists. How would you go about determining if they were all notable? There are new names being created every day, and at what point can you say that a name is notable enough to have its own encyclopaedia article? A list would make more sense, in my opinion, than to create individual articles for every name. As for the single-syllable name articles, I still think they're useless unless, like you said, they are surnames or can stand alone as a complete given name.

Currently, Japan-Korea relations covers both "Japan-ROK relations" and "Japan-DPRK relations". ROK(South Korea) and DPRK(North Korea) share pre-division history, but after the division and civil war each government have had a different relationship with Japan.

I've begun an article on Father Mun Jeong Hyeon, a leading anti-U.S.-military activist and last month's winner of the Gwangju Prize.

The article Nureongi states that there is no fixed word for the Korean native livestock dog. It goes on to talk about the various names that Koreans have given to this , even going so far as to use Chinese and Korean characters, but gives no official Korean language name for this dog as there isn’t one. On the other hand, the article section Dog meat#South Korea does refer to one Korean-language noun phrase that was officially used by Korean officials when discussing a proposal, which was not approved, to have this dog officially declared “livestock”. Unfortunately, however, the translation into English that article uses is the phrase “ Slaughter dog”, which, as you can see, is a red link, sounds like a literal translation, perhaps a machine translation, of the original Korean language noun phrase used in the government document, and as you may know, is not a common English language noun phrase. So this is my question if you would please, what was the original Korean language phrase used in the failed proposal? Would “ Meat dog”, “native Korean livestock dog” or “ Nureongi” be better translations? Chrisrus ( talk) 04:23, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

In August an WP:SPA started a few articles about the Shinchonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony and its leader Lee Man-Hee.

Editors on this WikiProject may be interested in the ongoing RfC on Talk:Caste. The article lists Korea as a region that has historically had a caste system, along with other countries, claims which some editors have found controversial. Editors critical of the current article have argued that the article has become a WP:COATRACK used to push the view that the caste system is not linked to Hinduism or India, while others have defended the article's portrayal of the caste as a universal phenomenon. The input of editors familiar with Korean history would be most helpful in this discussion. Was Korean society a caste? Is that a mainstream view and should Korea be listed?-- Ninthabout ( talk) 14:39, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Chinese POV editors are attempting to delete/merge the entire article on the Northeast Project(동북공정) with Goguryeo Controversies, which I dare say in the absence of participation from neutral or Korean editors has dilapidated to a biased article. While Goguryeo Controversies is another matter, I believe the first thing to do is for the WikiProject Korea to turn its attention to the Northeast Project and the attempt of Chinese POV editors from destroying it. The Northeast Project is an important subject matter which has been a turning point in Korean strategic stance and diplomacy, and still the subject is widely covered in the news media and widely discussed in academic papers.

Did anyone see this? The new official name standardization from SK: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20130310000236 Maybe we should follow, too, as it is quite haphazard in Wikipedia, as well. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 20:10, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bumin Hospital Group of Indang Medical Foundation is ready for review but I am not familiar enough with the hospitals in Korea to know if this meets Wikipedia's notability requirements.

As per a discussion the three Asian film Templates will be merging. I'd appreciate as many editors get a chance to look over this and contribute their thoughts as to how the four film infoboxes will be merged together. Thank you. ₪Rickn Asia₪ 16:34, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I just added the template Template:Kim Jong-il family to Wikiproject Korea (as Top importance too because it's an important part of very high-profile articles). Recent high readership has been causing a flurry of edits to the template and one aspect that's been changing is the romanization of the Korean names. This was good however as it brought to my attention Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Korea-related articles. The most recent editor to change the names, I think has brought the template into conformance with the manual of style for North Korean related topics. However the biographic articles that the templates link to (which are all also North Korean topics) use a different romanization. This may indicate a large non-conformance between those articles and the manual of style. So I'm bringing the issue here for advice and some help. I don't speak Korean, except for this template, haven't done much editing on Korean topics; that makes it extra hard to know what to do. Should all the biographic articles' romanization be changed now? Please also see the discussion at Template_talk:Kim_Jong-il_family#Romanization. Jason Quinn ( talk) 18:05, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I think Hip Hop should be removed from the working groups section since it should fit in Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Arts under Korean music. Jae ₩on ( Deposit) 14:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

I wonder if anybody here would be interested in becoming a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassador for the Seoul area? I will be teaching another course in the fall (see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Korea#Korean_students_on_English_Wikipedia) and I am considering allowing students to edit Korean Wikipedia. But I'd need a Korean speaker familiar with Korean Wikipedia to help them out if issues arise there. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:29, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi! To complement the North Korea portal on the Chinese Wikipedia, I started Portal:North Korea WhisperToMe ( talk) 03:18, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi all! I need some help with an article. The article in question is Busan Gaeseong Middle School murder and the biggest issue comes from translation. I can see that the Korean Wikipedia page has an entry ( [4]) that has more details and sources. This looks to be potentially notable by the standards here on this Wikipedia, so I'd hate to see this deleted when it could be saved. Basically, I need people to help translate and add information from the Korean sources and establish notability. I'll help where I can, but I don't speak Korean and can only use Google Translate, so I'm working with a serious handicap. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:52, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

There is an ongoing discussion about amending Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section to discourage listing non-English names of subjects in the lede sentence of articles, and to encourage moving them to an infobox or footnote. This may be of interest to those of us here at WP:KOREA since our own articles are inconsistent in this regard: some use {{ ko-hhrm}} or {{ lang-ko}} to include Korean names in the lede sentence, while others use only {{ Infobox Korean name}} and don't list any Korean names in the lede, and some do both. In any case, your comments are welcome on the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lead section#Proposal: move most translations and transliterations from lead sentence to footnote. Thanks, quant18 ( talk) 04:53, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
I just want to get people's opinion on the articles that are being created now for Korean given names. The category containing these names can be found here.
In my opinion, this is a useless collection of articles, and the list of names is basically endless. There's no list of English given names, so should there really be a list of Korean names?
Additionally, now the same user who is creating these articles has begun to create articles about individual syllables within given names. Examples include Jae and Young.
I'm curious to see what other people think of this. I just don't think that the creation of these articles improves Wikipedia at all. If they are to exist, perhaps the Wiktionary would be a better place for them since the articles usually include only one sentence explaining that it is a name or a syllable, and then a list of famous people who share the name.

Cheers, quant18 ( talk) 07:19, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your input, I see your point. The single-syllable articles are the ones that motivated me to write this. I mentioned the given names because I didn't see them being very useful but I can see now after looking at some of the lists you provided that the articles can become more detailed and helpful in some situations. I also wasn't saying that because no list of English names exists, that no Korean list should. I was just saying that if you think of it in terms of English names, it would be silly to try to create articles for every English given name that exists. How would you go about determining if they were all notable? There are new names being created every day, and at what point can you say that a name is notable enough to have its own encyclopaedia article? A list would make more sense, in my opinion, than to create individual articles for every name. As for the single-syllable name articles, I still think they're useless unless, like you said, they are surnames or can stand alone as a complete given name.

You show as (at least) one of the teams in the Asian League is Portuguese-- was this team Macanense, before reversion? Otherwise it makes little sense, as Portugal plays in UEFA, not Asia. An explanation "asterisked" to the Portuguese flag might be in order, to minimize confusion. 76.104.198.200 ( talk) 05:42, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

User:Shrigley is attempting to associate prostitution issues in South Korea with "Pure blood theory", which have been renamed to Korean ethnic nationalism after two consensus-making processes [5] [6].

Hi folks, could someone take a look at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/South Korea Ballistic Missile Guidelines Revision and see if that's fit for inclusion.

Since WP:JAPAN has already been notified here, I thought that it would be equally fair to notify WikiProject Korea as well.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article NEASS is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NEASS until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 21:14, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
