Thank you so much for your patience. I apologize for having made you wait so long. You did tremendous work in creating that article, then bringing it up to GA. You should consider submitting it to peer review for a possible FA. Fantastic job! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thank you for doing the review. 🙂 You give really good feedback and improved the accuracy of the article. All the best! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 toobigtokale (talk) 23:29, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article Utoro, Uji you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Utoro, Uji for comments about the article, and Talk:Utoro, Uji/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hi Toobigtokale,

This is to let you know that File:Hyochangwon as Korea's first golf course.jpg, a featured picture you uploaded, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for November 13, 2023. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2023-11-13. Lmk if I did anything wrong; first time nominating. I used the script to do it. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you! toobigtokale (talk) 04:36, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In 1921, the Empire of Japan turned a Korean royal cemetery into a golf course at what is now Hyochang Park. The tomb of Royal Noble Consort Uibin Seong was left directly on the course; it can be seen in the center of the picture, with a fence erected around it. Two Korean children dressed in white can be seen caddying for two golfers. A significant majority of players who used the course were Japanese. After the liberation of Korea in 1945, the park was turned into a memorial for Korean independence activists who resisted the Japanese colonization of Korea.

I noticed that you made this User:Toobigtokale/Template research. What is the story behind it? Notably I saw you included Keijo Shrine [simple; ko; ja]. I have been working on a draft here Draft:Keijo Shrine which might be able to help you with research, and if you can add Korean sources that would be really appreciated.

You might also be interested in the article I just finished Ryūtōsan Shrine Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 23:17, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was compiling links for a navbox template for Korea under Japanese rule. I'll probably get around to creating it pretty soon; I was holding off but honestly I have enough to work with already.

Also oops, just a heads up: I created a stub for Keijō Shrine without knowing you had that draft running :(. My bad, I should have looked in drafts to see if anyone was working on it. Please feel free to replace my stub and/or borrow elements from it. toobigtokale (talk) 00:01, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Toobigtokale oh I’ll just work on improving your stub. Good job on it. Do you want me to make the template? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 00:13, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok sounds good! And thanks for the offer on the template; I'll actually just create it now. toobigtokale (talk) 00:15, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi toobigtokale, you previously commented on Talk:Siege of Suiyang. Now we have another dispute there, maybe you want to come over to have a look and maybe help us resolve it? Gawaon (talk) 09:58, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit out of my depth there unfortunately; I was able to give a high-level opinion on the previous discussion because the other user's OR was fairly obvious, but in this case MINQI is more reasonable, although I can still see why you two may disagree. toobigtokale (talk) 22:44, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for your feedback. I'm not happy with it, since I think it's pretty clearly OR also in this case, but I guess I can accept it. It's not that important. Gawaon (talk) 18:43, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's also a factor of time; I'm currently traveling during vacation right now and admittedly only put less than a minute into reading the thread. Sorry; maybe another day. toobigtokale (talk) 09:10, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, the discussion is on the talk page so if you or somebody else sees it and gets involved at some point it should still be possible to reconsider. Gawaon (talk) 18:36, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On 15 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Koreans in Kamchatka, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in the Russian Far East, there is a population of North Koreans in Kamchatka that now aligns itself with South Korea? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Koreans in Kamchatka. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Koreans in Kamchatka), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey, just wondering why you removed hanja from the lead section for pre-1945 historical figures. I am aware that you can find the hanja names in the infobox, however on desktop for articles with larger infoboxes, it can take a bit to scroll down and find the hanja names. (Ex. Kim Yuk). I believe it would be more helpful to have hanja in the lead section again. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 02:41, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe for pre-1945 we can add them back given they were more important back then. I tend towards trying to declutter first sentences but I may have been overzealous there toobigtokale (talk) 02:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On 17 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Saikabo, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Korean restaurant in Japan Saikabo suffered a 30% drop in sales after the South Korean president visited the disputed Liancourt Rocks? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Saikabo. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Saikabo), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.
