The Joint Forces Quarterly article I added to references is in the public domain (as indicated here). Hence, some of the material may be useful for direct inclusion into this article. On-line versions: (pdf) & (txt). Michael Ward 21:21, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
As I know, the army fighting in Korea is called People's Volunteer Army(PVA). People's Liberation Army (PLA)is another army in China, though PLA is also a volunteer army. But they are different. And they do still exist in China now. Unugy 05:04, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I'm troubled that this article managed to make FAC status, & omitted mention of one of the worst movies ever made, with a number of name actors (Sir Laurence Olivier, Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Gazzara, Toshiro Mifune & others -- this movie is even included in the lists of screen appearances in the articles on Olivier & Bisset). My criticism is not so much that I want to poke fun at this movie (well, okay, a little), but that an article that has FAC status ought to be reasonably comprehensive, & by omiting any mention of this movie, this article fails to be comprehensive. (Note: both Battle of the Bulge & Attack on Pearl Harbor both mention the movies based on those battles, so it is not unreasonable for "Inchon, the movie" to also be mentioned here.)
We need not turn this article into a POV attack on this movie (it was funded by the Unification Church, so some may believe I'm motivated only because of this connection); a simple mention of this movie -- & hopefully a link to an article about it -- would do much to fix this oversight. But the fact that this article got thru at least one stage of review without any thought to adding this fact alarms me over the quality of Wikipedia. -- llywrch 17:55, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I was reading this section of the Encarta making sure that the information in this article is accurate and I can upon several thoughts.

The last sentence in the "green Beach" section has both 'boats' and 'ships' - probably should be 'boats'.
The article's third sentence reads "During the amphibious operation, United Nations (UN) forces secured Inchon, and broke North Korean control of the Pusan region through a series of landings in enemy territory." This can't be exactly correct -- the Pusan (Busan) region was the only part of the peninsula *not* under NK control at this time. I would change it, but I'm not sure what the sentence should say. -- Visviva 08:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Not the Battle of Seoul one. --HanzoHattori 06:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Substantial number of South Korean forces participated in this battle, specifically, the Marine Regiment and the 17th Army Regiment. These units deserve mention. All references to UN forces in this article at the moment are Americans only. H27kim 16:34, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
The official name of the city Inchon(인천) in English is now have been modified to Incheon. Shouldn't we change the title of the article accordingly? L46kok (talk) 15:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
This article uses wording which is exactly the same as that of an article on Nationmaster (http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Battle-of-Inchon). While this entry has been expanded, it does overuse the nationmaster article without siting it. (references also appear to be copied from it). Njj4 (talk) 20:59, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
The analysis section perplexes me as it consists solely of the opinion of some fellow named Stolfi (who is not introduced within the text with his full name). It then makes the awkward comparison between the US Army's amphibious landing at Inchon and the Wehrmacht's drive on the Baltic in '41. Firstly, Stolfi's opinion is valid. However, I think there should be at least an alternate opinion. Furthermore, while it is not for me to criticize a published work, I frankly find the comparison between the US Army's campaign at Inchon and the Wehrmacht's on the Eastern Front somewhat silly. The Battle at Inchon was a seaborne invasion that tried to break out of a beachhead. 4th Panzer Army's Baltic Campaign was, by the army's name, an armored drive to rapidly secure key objectives. We are thus comparing an armored drive with a seaborne invasion which, I think, makes them awkward to compare. Furthermore, I think we can also see differences in their respective military cultures, such as the German operational drive to seek a battle of encirclement. I honestly think we can get some better analysis here. Any other thoughts on the analysis section?

Agreed. It's ridiculous to state that the strategic victory of Inchon was "negated" by the slow advance to Seoul. Before Inchon, the ROK/UN forces were restricted to the Pusan Perimeter. After Inchon, the ROK/UN forces were able to sweep the North Korean army almost all the way back to China. --76.121.228.186 (talk) 12:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
A quote from the introduction: "the battle ended a string of victories by the invading North Korean People's Army" this can't be right, can it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.117.57.118 (talk) 11:50, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
In the Blue Beach section, it is mentioned that "the combined fire from several NKPA gun emplacements sank one LST." There's no citation for this; in my own research on the Battle, I've not come across any reference to an LST's sinking at Blue Beach. Does anyone have a good source or reference for whether this happened or not? I don't ask to disparage the idea that it happened, but rather out of interest to know if it did indeed happen and what details are known of it. -- Filmcom (talk) 18:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Is transliterated as Incheon. Han Jo Jo (talk) 19:15, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus in the discussion is that, while Incheon is the WP:COMMONNAME of the city, the common name of the battle is nevertheless "Battle of Inchon". (non-admin closure) ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 16:01, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
Battle of Inchon → Battle of Incheon – The article title for the city itself is Incheon, and the translation from Korean is Incheon, (I'm Korean) Jishiboka1 (talk) 12:02, 21 December 2022 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).
