This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
The information in the article is relevant, but correct grammar is not used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.61.143.204 (talk) 20:56, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
I believe that user Luccas is coming dangerously close to violating the 3-revert rule. His vandalism of my edits, changing the name Pusan to the nonsense word "Busan" is beginning to get ridiculous. I wish he would stop and realize that this is the English language Wikipedia, not the Korean language version.

the correct romanisation is Busan.
In english (which this is an english article) the name of the city is pusan. THIS MUST BE CHANGED the name may be busan in some other language but it is officially pusan in the english language
Please note that regardless of which system of transliteration of Korean into English is preferred, the use of Busan is making the article very inconsistent. There are references to "Pusan National University", for example. I suspect that until the new romanization system gains greater acceptance, "Pusan" should be used. Additionally -- should other articles be changed? (See, e.g., Pusan Perimeter, Pusan National University. I think a reference to the fact at the beginning of the article that Pusan is also spelled "Busan" would be sufficient for now. Please let's not get into an immature argument over this, eh? 67.171.68.188 01:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
It is not a big deal is it? I gets redirected here anyways. Kingj123 (talk) 04:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and so there will be no guessing or estimating what Busan's population might be given X circumstance. The passage that attempted to guess what some population "might be" or "could be" was removed. Here we are to use only the most current data from the current national census. Please check Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. However, and somebody please correct me if I am wrong, we could add the official census populations of Busan, Gimhae, and Yangsan together and use that as an unofficial figure somewhere in the text.

When did the name Busan/Pusan come about, and what does it mean? That is to say, why is the city called iron kettle (釜) mountain (山)? This would be interesting and useful information. LordAmeth (talk) 05:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't think we should have links to nonexisting articles in the introduction. It looks unprofessional and contributes to Wikipedia having a bad reputation. 210.117.246.250 (talk) 01:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
This section should be expand considering Busan in South Korea's 2nd largest city. It's very important city for Korea. --Korsentry 05:49, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Busan is also the popular tourist destination for Japanese & Russian because of close proximity and being largest port access point for Korea. Please expand it. --Korsentry 05:49, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
= the name of Busan during the Japanese rule Böri (talk) 15:04, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm noticing this in every Korean city article I'm searching up. Inconsistencies. The Busan city home page places the area at 765.64km2, the Busan article places the area at 765.94km2. What is the area??? --Exec. Tassadar (comments, contribs) 10:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
The article lists three cities not captured by the Japanese and yet says that two cities were not captured. This is an obvious contradiction. And why does every Korean page contain so much rampant nationalism and bias? You guys are literally arguing over a single letter... P or B... By the way... Its a B, I was just there last weekend and its spelled with a B virtually everywhere you go! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.60.70.39 (talk) 05:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm probably not the first to suggest it, but I propose we move "Busan" to "Pusan". The vast majority of Wikipedia articles refer to the city as Pusan. To wit: Pusan International Film Festival, Battle of the Pusan Perimeter, Pusan National University, Pusan University of Foreign Studies, Pusan Film Critics Awards, etc. Also, most maps, encylcopedia, and web pages refer to it as Pusan. I say move. What say you? RM (Be my friend) — Preceding undated comment added 20:43, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
I don't agree with Reenem. We should use the Revised Romanization of Korean because that's the official romanization of South Korea. Lee, Eungki C. (talk) 13:44, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
I agree with Reenem. The Revised Romanization has been adopted by South Korean government and thus can regulate the use of English only within S. Korea. The rest of the world still use "Pusan". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.248.23.250 (talk) 11:19, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
We should expand Busan by adding more references and sections. Is it okay to add the section "Population"? If somebody is not answering me for a week, I'll do it myself. I post this on April 7, 2012 according to the US time. Lee, Eungki C. (talk) 13:44, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Someone should add some of these images as the first 3 are relating to the history of Busan.
I strongly suggest to have some of those included in the article, and to put the images relating to tourism on the be on the tourism section in a gallery. Nice Stranger5810 (talk) 14:30, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
The article is in need of a "Demographics" section. I could do this by my self but it should not be removed unless if there is a reason. I'll wait for a day to edit this article, I hope there will be a fast reply or no reply as normal. Nice Stranger5810 (talk) 11:35, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
I see other cities or counties in Wikipedia with flags. Can someone find a flag for this city "Dynamic Busan", and place it up here? Mucho appreciation. HanSangYoon (talk) 01:04, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Jerm (talk) 14:13, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
Busan → Pusan – I understand that there has been some inconclusive discussion about how to title this page (I myself went looking for "Pusan" today and when I was redirected to "Busan" I was certain that this was an error!). According to WP:COMMONNAME we should title our articles by the name that the subject is most commonly known by, even in preference to a subject's official name, so long as that name is the one used in published reliable sources-- do not the majority of published reliable English sources use "Pusan"? To the extent that this is so, should we not move this article to that namespace? To support this proposed move, which any editor is welcome to do, please edit this page and scroll to the bottom and add a new line of text by typing * '''Support''' I support this proposal and here are my reasons. ~~~~
. To oppose, do the same thing but type "Oppose" rather than "Support". Thank you. A loose necktie (talk) 17:53, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
