Why does second para say "forcibly conscripted" but then recruited into special forces? Conscription by nature is not voluntary, and if "forcible" presumably he would not be recruited into an elite unit? Hvaltonen (talk) 02:44, 10 February 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree with Hvaltonen above. In South Korea, all adult males must by law perform a term of military service. I would propose changing "Later, he was forcibly conscripted to the military and recruited to the Special Forces..." to read "While performing his mandatory term of military service he was recruited to the Special Forces..."

Second 달리나음 above. Most edits are coming in rapidly as Moon won presidency, from people who do not cite sources, reformat randomly, and add in very poor grammar and spelling. 000aert2 (talk) 05:55, 10 May 2017 (UTC)000aert2Reply[reply]

Just a note: the section on "Leftist agenda" has some serious tone issues, and presents him as a "known communist sympathizer" with no references. Inexperienced editor wanted to flag for more experienced folk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.94.133.9 (talk) 15:54, 11 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The section seems to rely heavily on one source (WSJ) to promote only one side of an argument (that Moon Jae In's economic policies are problematic). Would recommend either deleting this section or finding more sources to counterbalance this issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NettingFish15019 (talk • contribs) 15:40, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

From what I can tell, english sources say 12th. It's apparent, the Presidents of South Korea are being numbered by either individuals or by terms of office. I suggest we either have 'both' in the intro & infobox or nothing at all. If we show both - I'd recommend 12th (19th term) as a compromise. GoodDay (talk) 16:33, 13 May 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An editor has added descriptive content about Moon Yong-hyung. Is this appropriate here?  Eyer ^contact  10:52, 20 July 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The editor insists that this information belongs, so I moved it to its own sentence(s) and copy-edited it. I'll leave it for someone else to keep or remove. Thanks, all.  Eyer ^contact  11:08, 20 July 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Why does this article use the month, day format? I think it should be switched to day, month as is done with numerous other Korean politicians (both North and South). ThePickeringtonian (talk) 15:05, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm assuming that if we're going to decapitalize in this article's intro? The same will be done for the intros of all the South Korean presidents bio articles. GoodDay (talk) 21:57, 29 November 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Moon Jae-in's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "guardian_results":

• From 2020 South Korean legislative election: McCurry, Justin (16 April 2020). "South Korea's ruling party wins election landslide amid coronavirus outbreak". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 19 April 2020. Retrieved 19 April 2020.
• From 2020 in South Korea: McCurry, Justin (16 April 2020). "South Korea's ruling party wins election landslide amid coronavirus outbreak". The Guardian. Retrieved 19 April 2020.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 06:30, 22 January 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
