I'm a month or two late for the holiday, but rewrote this article. If anyone can upload more photos of the event, particularly ones good for the infobox, that'd be appreciated (I can't as an IP user). 104.232.119.107 ( talk) 06:14, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, everyone! I'd like to invite you all to sign up for the upcoming 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest. The event runs from July 1 to September 30 and signups close on July 15. The WikiContest focuses on developing countries, which they have included North Korea within. The intention is to improve the English Wikipedia's coverage and comprehension of articles related to developing countries. For this reason, you may also expect that articles related to the North Korea may be heavily edited during the contest. More information on how points will be awarded can be found at Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Scoring. For comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Wikipedia talk:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest. Thank you!

Now that sadly this extremely useful article was deleted, how to provide this information instead? It sounds like we're now forced to include it in each artist's article instead, and perhaps add tracking categories by year under Category:Lists of concert tours of South Korean artists?

Mental health in South Korea is in significant need of expansion. I just gave it a revision to combine redundant info and regroup/reorder topics, but it's still relatively sparse. If you can help out, please do. 104.232.119.107 ( talk) 05:20, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
We'll see what happens, I guess. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 08:38, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Due to my edits on quite a lot of articles of K-Pop songs being removed most of them saying K-Pop isn't a genre. I believe it is and I want to provide a consensus across Wikipedia if it is.
From what I know, the first known open discussion about this is made by me at Talk:K-pop#Is K-Pop a music genre? and one at Talk:Ddu-du Ddu-Du#Is K-Pop a music genre?
If this discussion gets too big, maybe it could it a WikiProject if it works like that too. —

Anyone has any idea why we are missing the following tool for Korea - linking Chinese here as examples of functionality that (and many other projects) have: Category:China articles without infoboxes .
There is no Category:Korea articles without infoboxes :( Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 03:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

A quote from
the article about the SK government and Wikipedia has made me think recently. When searching for Korea-related information on travel information platforms, one often encounters topics such as the demilitarized zone (DMZ) tourism, while the rich and diverse aspects of Korean culture and society remain largely overlooked.
My feelings on the article are mixed, but this quote made me notice a pattern I hadn't fully processed before.
Some articles for Korea about places and things are I think unfairly bleak reading. I think it's because we have a disproportionate number of people interested in Korea's wars (particularly the Korean War) and in little else about Korea, which has led to a sharp imbalance that unfairly hurts Korea's image.
I almost feel like this is a case of WP:BLP. Hypothetically, if you had a small village with a tragic past but people still living there today, do they really deserve to have 70% of their article be about war and death, when they've done so much else before and after that? Yes, the info is true; Korea's recent history was bleak. If there was lots of other non-war info presented in each article, it wouldn't be an issue. But at present so many articles make Korea look like a still-smouldering crater, which is far from the truth.
I'm going to make a point of trying to balance out this kind of info going forward; please join me in it if you can. Again, we of course want to preserve the truth and provide enough tools for people to do more reading about the dark topics without harping on them. 104.232.119.107 ( talk) 09:38, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Greetings! Over the past few years, there have been no objections to converting Latin letters and Arabic numerals to ASCII from their full-width forms when they appear in horizontal Chinese, Korean, or Japanese text. I've raised it on MOS and Wikiproject talk pages and made many cleanup edits to articles. I'm making a push to finish that cleanup, and I've been noticing that punctuation, currency symbols, and spaces have the same problem. It looks weird to have the full-width versions mixed in, and they sometimes leak into English-language text. My plan was to start converting punctuation and currency symbols in horizontal text (except where the characters themselves are being discussed) when the July 1 database dump becomes available in a week or two. If you have any questions, objections, concerns, or suggestions, please let me know! Open-circle full stop is not included; the affected characters are: " # $ % & ' * + - / @ \ ^ _ ` ¢ ¥ ₩ < = > | ¦ and the space character. -- Beland ( talk) 17:49, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
On the main WikiProject page, I added a subsection to "resources" that serves as a guide for images. Please feel free to add more websites/advice to this list. 211.43.120.242 ( talk) 09:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Unequal treaty#Requested move 6 July 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Remsense 诉 18:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
I posted a proposal on how to handle Hangul names in references at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Korea-related articles#Handling Hangul names in references. This proposal would have a significant impact on Korea-related pages, so please discuss if interested. 211.43.120.242 ( talk) 01:46, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
There's a sizeable backlog of draft articles waiting to be evaluated if anyone's willing to go through them. I've also contributed a good chunk of these recently lol 211.43.120.242 ( talk) 16:24, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

List of South Korean girl groups, which is within the scope of this WikiProject, has an RfC for possible consensus. A discussion is taking place. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments on the discussion page. Thank you.
Hi, I'd appreciate if an experienced editor familiar with Korean could take a look at Template:Did you know nominations/No kid zone. An IP recently added a bunch of Korean-language sources and I wish to assume good faith, but I'm unsure of their reliability since I don't speak the language. A second opinion would be greatly appreciated. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello everyone, WikiProject Figure Skating has just started doing A-class assessments. Our first article submitted for review is Yuna Kim, and we're in need of a third reviewer. Here's the link to the assessment: Wikipedia:WikiProject Figure Skating/Assessment/Yuna Kim. The assistance of any member of this project would be muchly appreciated. You don't have to necessarily be a figure skating expert (although that would help, of course), but you should at least be knowledgeable about editing and contributing to Wikipedia. Thanks to all and best. Editor120918756 ( talk) 06:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
