Hi, for those users who work with South Korea's music articles, two late announcements. First, the easier of the two: Billboard Korea K-pop Hot 100. The charted resumed for the week dated May 29 – June 4, 2017 [1]. It's incredibly skeletal: it only provides its ranking for the week, so no peak position, weeks on the chart, etc.
Gaon has re-enabled its search function, which you can find here. This is great for discography articles, where you can utilize fewer sources for citing peak positions of songs and albums. A walk-through:
The search function presents seven headers: Digital Chart, Download Chart, Streaming Chart, BGM Chart, Mobile Chart (벨), Mobile Chart (링), and 노래방 Chart. To the left, three viewing options are available: 주간 (weekly), 월간 (monthly), and 연간 (year-end).
As an example, here's the search for CNBLUE. Chart type: Digital Chart; Classification: Overall; Year: 2013; Name: Singer's name; Search box: "씨엔블루". [2]. In reverse chronological order, it shows the Chart Period, Ranking, Title, Artist, Album, and Link to that week's chart.
Please remember to observe WP:CHARTMATH. The Download, Streaming, BGM Charts, as well as the Domestic and Foreign Charts should only be noted in cases when a song or album failed to chart on the Digital Chart or Overall chart.

07:19, 5 December 2017 (UTC)I created articles for two South Korean skeleton athletes and corresponding wikidata entries. However, the only source I can find for these women is the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation's database, which is only in English and German, so I don't know whether their names have been properly represented or if any other information about them is available in Korean-language sources. I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look and bring these stubs up to your project's standards.

It seems that the 20 Feb 2018 "article alert" about renaming the "xxth-century Korean monarchy" categories remained unnoticed. As a result, a "discussion" took place with one support (the proposer, User:Hugo999) and one passer-by User:Quuxplusone that mostly suggested a broader name like "Category:Nth-century Korean royalty" that might be less likely to drop articles out of the existing categories. (see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 20 for the exact statements). Nevertheless, the closing was "rename".
After that, I had an exchange with the closing person, User:BrownHairedGirl, on my own talk page (see User_talk:Pldx1#Closed XfD discussions). I will not comment this exchange, everyone is able to draw her own conclusions. Nevertheless, the passage "their silence is assumed to be assent" is of interest. Do you assent that the Category:Nth-century Korean royalty (or any other name) were to be emptied and replaced by the narrower Category:Nth-century Korean monarchs ? Do you care or not about the strange "Korean monarchs" that can be encountered in the present categories ? Or are you rather with the opinion "let them play with categories" ? After all, if this can't be fixed, don't even try. Pldx1 ( talk) 10:47, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Any history buffs want to take on rewriting the Korean nationality article? I think the article is misleading, as it implies that Korean nationality is a thing that currently exists; in my opinion, this article should be about Korean nationality prior to 1945 (as in the historic country of Korea). The South Korean nationality law and Nationality Law of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are where information about South Korean and North Korean nationality belong. Happy to help if I can, but this isn't my area of expertise. Lenoresm ( talk) 21:55, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
There are users using Template:KOCOWA in order to link to Kocowa pages for Korean TV shows, a streaming service. Is this something generally allowed? This would see to be against WP:ELNO - linking to service (even if free) and only works in specific countries (USA). We don't link to Netflix, Amazon Video, or even DramaFever this way.

I know this is a bit unorthodox, to ask here, but I was wondering if someone who speaks Korean could pop over to my question about a Korean expression/word at the language section of the reference desk, here, since no has answered it despite a few days elapsing, and I assume that's because there are no Korean speakers who frequent that resource.

I am mildly surprised but I cannot find anything. Actually, not much in Asia at all. Really - no legislation about 'it is a crime to deny Japanese crimes' in Korea (or China)? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:16, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
So this article was edited by a group of college editors. Here's how it looked before and now ( diff). Quite frankly, the article as it is now is a mess. Everything that was added was mostly unsourced. The structure of the article is all over the place. The tone is more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. There are grammar mistakes throughout. Should the additions just be reverted? Is it possible for the article to be fixed by a knowledgeable editor with access to sources and some copyediting? I'd hate to throw away all the work these students did if it's good information and can still be salvaged, but in its current state it seems to be less useful than the shorter article that was there before. Note that the article has been marked mid-importance by this project. Opencooper ( talk) 23:38, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Korean shamanism mentions "The Isanmyo, a shrine built in 1925 dedicated to the four holy kings Dangun, Taejo, Sejong and Gojong" in a caption on a photograph. Three of the links are unambiguous; however, Taejo is a DAB page, and my knowledge of Korean history is as near to nil as makes no difference. Can any expert here help solve the problem?

The sourcing for the article is very poor though. Is it possible this is a hoax or an urban legend? I see sources online that tell the same story, but what if these sources are just repeating what other sources are saying? What is this story ultimately based upon though? When I first came to the article, it was largely based on a Daily Mail article, but that is a low quality source that has been deemed unreliable.
Martin Morgan in "The Americans on D-Day: A Photographic History of the Normandy Invasion" gives some overview of the issue. He mentions that the photo is real, but that the man is not identified in the original photo. It's only a theory emerging in the 1990's that the man is Yang Kyoungjong, and he speculates he is an unidentified man with a Georgian battallion. Link Harizotoh9 ( talk) 23:12, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

I have recently been declined because according to the reviewer, my article "does not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject." However, my sources are coming directly from Korea's Ministry of Patriot's and Veteran's Affairs and reliable news periodicals (Sinhan Minbo/New Korea). One issue for readers may be that the older news periodicals uses old Korean which can be difficult to read by even Koreans. I feel that the reviewer was unable to carefully review my sources and thus declined it. Here is the link to my draft. /info/en/?search=Draft:Song_Oh-kyun. I am looking forward to everyone's feedback. Mlee965 ( talk) 17:05, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi all, I know that the WikiProject has been fairly inactive. And I am not an organizer, but I wanted to let anyone that might be interested know about the above listed Deletion Nominations for three Portals, for Korea, North Korea and South Korea (see 3 last entries above)....where Discussions are currently taking place. I am not encouraging a vote, or canvassing, either way, just thought that many of you that contribute to Korean articles, may want to see the Discussions going on and/or Vote either way.
One of the contentions is that WikiProject Korea is inactive and has not been updating the Portals. Although we don't meet regularly here on the project page, and the page has been fairly inactive for a couple of years....I know that many editors are still creating and maintaining Korean related pages. And since the Portals are being criticized for not being kept up, also, maybe someone could help with their maintenance. My editing skills are limited and I don't quite understand the Portal process, but I know a lot of you are smarter than me.
I am pinging as many as I know of, for notification, as an extension to the above notifications, again not for any purposes of infuencing the votes either way. And I apologize if I have missed anyone or pinged anyone that did not wish to receive this notification.-- Bonnielou2013 ( talk) 02:39, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

07:19, 5 December 2017 (UTC)I created articles for two South Korean skeleton athletes and corresponding wikidata entries. However, the only source I can find for these women is the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation's database, which is only in English and German, so I don't know whether their names have been properly represented or if any other information about them is available in Korean-language sources. I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look and bring these stubs up to your project's standards.

It seems that the 20 Feb 2018 "article alert" about renaming the "xxth-century Korean monarchy" categories remained unnoticed. As a result, a "discussion" took place with one support (the proposer, User:Hugo999) and one passer-by User:Quuxplusone that mostly suggested a broader name like "Category:Nth-century Korean royalty" that might be less likely to drop articles out of the existing categories. (see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 20 for the exact statements). Nevertheless, the closing was "rename".
After that, I had an exchange with the closing person, User:BrownHairedGirl, on my own talk page (see User_talk:Pldx1#Closed XfD discussions). I will not comment this exchange, everyone is able to draw her own conclusions. Nevertheless, the passage "their silence is assumed to be assent" is of interest. Do you assent that the Category:Nth-century Korean royalty (or any other name) were to be emptied and replaced by the narrower Category:Nth-century Korean monarchs ? Do you care or not about the strange "Korean monarchs" that can be encountered in the present categories ? Or are you rather with the opinion "let them play with categories" ? After all, if this can't be fixed, don't even try. Pldx1 ( talk) 10:47, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Any history buffs want to take on rewriting the Korean nationality article? I think the article is misleading, as it implies that Korean nationality is a thing that currently exists; in my opinion, this article should be about Korean nationality prior to 1945 (as in the historic country of Korea). The South Korean nationality law and Nationality Law of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are where information about South Korean and North Korean nationality belong. Happy to help if I can, but this isn't my area of expertise. Lenoresm ( talk) 21:55, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

So this article was edited by a group of college editors. Here's how it looked before and now ( diff). Quite frankly, the article as it is now is a mess. Everything that was added was mostly unsourced. The structure of the article is all over the place. The tone is more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. There are grammar mistakes throughout. Should the additions just be reverted? Is it possible for the article to be fixed by a knowledgeable editor with access to sources and some copyediting? I'd hate to throw away all the work these students did if it's good information and can still be salvaged, but in its current state it seems to be less useful than the shorter article that was there before. Note that the article has been marked mid-importance by this project. Opencooper ( talk) 23:38, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

The sourcing for the article is very poor though. Is it possible this is a hoax or an urban legend? I see sources online that tell the same story, but what if these sources are just repeating what other sources are saying? What is this story ultimately based upon though? When I first came to the article, it was largely based on a Daily Mail article, but that is a low quality source that has been deemed unreliable.
Martin Morgan in "The Americans on D-Day: A Photographic History of the Normandy Invasion" gives some overview of the issue. He mentions that the photo is real, but that the man is not identified in the original photo. It's only a theory emerging in the 1990's that the man is Yang Kyoungjong, and he speculates he is an unidentified man with a Georgian battallion. Link Harizotoh9 ( talk) 23:12, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

I have recently been declined because according to the reviewer, my article "does not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject." However, my sources are coming directly from Korea's Ministry of Patriot's and Veteran's Affairs and reliable news periodicals (Sinhan Minbo/New Korea). One issue for readers may be that the older news periodicals uses old Korean which can be difficult to read by even Koreans. I feel that the reviewer was unable to carefully review my sources and thus declined it. Here is the link to my draft. /info/en/?search=Draft:Song_Oh-kyun. I am looking forward to everyone's feedback. Mlee965 ( talk) 17:05, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi all, I know that the WikiProject has been fairly inactive. And I am not an organizer, but I wanted to let anyone that might be interested know about the above listed Deletion Nominations for three Portals, for Korea, North Korea and South Korea (see 3 last entries above)....where Discussions are currently taking place. I am not encouraging a vote, or canvassing, either way, just thought that many of you that contribute to Korean articles, may want to see the Discussions going on and/or Vote either way.
One of the contentions is that WikiProject Korea is inactive and has not been updating the Portals. Although we don't meet regularly here on the project page, and the page has been fairly inactive for a couple of years....I know that many editors are still creating and maintaining Korean related pages. And since the Portals are being criticized for not being kept up, also, maybe someone could help with their maintenance. My editing skills are limited and I don't quite understand the Portal process, but I know a lot of you are smarter than me.
I am pinging as many as I know of, for notification, as an extension to the above notifications, again not for any purposes of infuencing the votes either way. And I apologize if I have missed anyone or pinged anyone that did not wish to receive this notification.-- Bonnielou2013 ( talk) 02:39, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
