Back when the notice board was our primary gathering-point, we had a short-lived program of "collaborations of the month." One of them even became a featured article, although another one still has yet to reach that mark. Shall we start the COTM again? Above, it was suggested that Imjin War (I know, I know, but the short title is easier to type) would be a good target for collaboration. Any other suggestions? -- Visviva 13:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I've been thinking about having working groups/task forces for specific subtopics here. These would be simpler and easier to set up than separate WikiProjects. For example, many current members of this project are particularly interested in the military history of Korea. Why not have a "milhist working group" where those editors can gather to discuss issues related to article improvement in that particular area? Such a working group could also coordinate closely with the military-history project, to the benefit of both that project and this one. I would also like to reconstitute the old SKCC project as a working group on South Korean geography. Other areas I can think of that might be suitable for working groups are general housekeeping, North Korea, Korean cuisine -- each of these has a specific small group of editors who actively work in that area. -- Visviva 13:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. Only some 15 people. One brand, one project. That way we can be unified in our directions. (Wikimachine 17:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC))
It is a good idea, provided that we all work hard. I'm particularly interested in Korean military history and general Korean history. If members can divide up into certain groups that they are strong or interested in, that would help Korean articles a lot. There's no point trying to improve an article if you are not interested in it. Good friend100 22:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I've created a welcome message for new editors, here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Welcome. This is to be placed on the talk pages of editors who have not been welcomed, and is drawn from ((welcomeg)). It could use some further customization, and perhaps a more prominent mention of this project. A few lines in Korean wouldn't be a bad idea either. At any rate, you can use it by typing ((subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Welcome)) on the new user's talk page. Cheers, -- Visviva 05:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I like the template, you guys must teach me how to make those =). I think you should put a link for the stub and cleanup list. And yes, you are right, a stronger message about Wikiproject Korea is needed since the template is to introduce editors to Wikiproject Korea as well. Good friend100 14:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/ToDo. I think we should organize our stubs and/or needed articles like the one at wikiproject Japan on their todo list.
Also, here is a breakdown of proposed departments for this wikiproject. Its just a suggestion, we can add or delete them.
Good friend100 15:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
The article for "Boxer" (임요환) is at Lim Yo-Hwan. The article says its Revised Romanization of Korean is "Im Yoh-wan". I can verify via machine translator that "Im Yoh-wan" is correct, but I am not sure why Lim Yo-Hwan is used as article title. Can someone tell me what should be the name used for the Wikipedia article (either based on his official English name or Wikipedia's Korean transliteration policy)? Thanks. --Voidvector 11:00, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Endroit are trying to remove some part of the article in Joseonsa Pyeonsuhoe even though it is cited article. I wish somebody help me to progress the article about Joseonsa Pyeonsuhoe(조선총독부의 조선사편수회). --Hairwizard91 21:08, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I've added some content to the Military history working group. There is already a lot of military history in the Korean history working group, up through the Joseon dynasty. Therefore, it seems natural to put 20th century items, especially Korean War-related articles, under military history. There are a few requests for translation on the page now, if anybody's interested in a place to get started. --Reuben 20:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but there's been a series of Japanese vandalism on many articles that have led to page protection. This has happened to Korea, Kofun period, Joseon Dynasty have been protected recently, and similar thing has happened to Korea under Japanese rule, Battle of Myeongnyang, and I'm sure others.
It looks like we have the same combination of original research, Japanese nationalism, anonymous IP's, mangled English, and revert battling, now at Korean-Japanese disputes. Please help revert the vandalism. Maybe protecting this page too is the only answer.
Also, please be sure to add these and other pages to your "watchlist" and monitor changes. Maintaining the integrity of existing pages is at least as important as improving or adding new articles. The more people watching more articles, the faster we can undo and discourage these attacks. Thanks. Room218 06:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey guys, this might be a bit random, but I am kind of interested in helping you guys out in building/writing/revising articles related to Korea. I am currently in middle of exam period, but it'll be over by this week, and I would like to spend some time during the vacation to help. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Could someone maybe clean up this page so that it's more newbie-friendly? There are a lot of people adding their names, but I don't see much project activity (maybe I haven't found the right place to look?)
The long list of template boxes is distracting, and their purpose is not clear. Also, combine the "Articles that need improvement" heading with the "To do" table? Is this page just a to-do list, or is there a target article or topic? Goguryeo 19:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Having failed to solve this user to user, I'm going to bring the topic up here next. I noticed last night that User:T-rex has gone through over a dozen Korean city and town articles on November 17th, changing the position of the template and removing links put up to the same page on the Galbijim Wiki. The removal was done on the following pages (one or two here might have been left alone but I think these are all of them):
Most of these cities and counties are quite small and had the government website, open directory category, and later on the Galbijim wiki link added as our pages as I always do when an article here is a stub and the one on our wiki is much more in depth. Pages like Pocheon especially are only about three sentences long, and since I spent a large part of the summer translating information directly from Korean to English and a lot of other users who live in the areas write about them as well, I had assumed that the removal was a mistake or done with a bot.
Here are three corresponding pages from our wiki to illustrate the difference in content:
However, it turns out the user believes he has done Wikipedia a service by removing 'spam' from a 'Wikipedia mirror', and the surprisingly unfriendly exchange we had was as follows:
== [[dongducheon]] ==
Hi - I noticed that you removed a link to the Galbijim Wiki page on Dongducheon a few days ago - was this done automatically by the bot you run? I hope it hasn't been running around removing links willy-nilly as I doubt I could keep up considering the number of town articles. Mithridates 17:24, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
The site is most certainly not a Wikipedia mirror. All the links you removed were pages created by our users, and are much more detailed than the pages you find here on Wikipedia. Dongducheon, Gunpo and Icheon are three of numerous examples where you have removed a link to a page much more detailed than the one here. The only time links are added are when the Galbijim Wiki page is much more detailed than the ones here, and when we use content straight from Wikipedia we have a template indicating the source and do not link from the Wikipedia page. Please restore the links you have removed and be more careful in the future. Mithridates 17:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
I was not taken aback by the removal of the links so much as the following:
However, having not had a conflict with a user besides on the Colonization of Ceres page (kind of silly but true), I'm not sure what the next step is and I don't really care to go around to the pages and fight over links that another user believes to be spam. According to this user, the one-sentence "Yangju is a city in South Korea" is fine the way it is, and doesn't need a link to a page with much more information that can even be copied over to Wikipedia under the same license. So what to do? Request mediation? Get consensus here and present a unified front to the user? Something else? Mithridates 00:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
*((galbijim))
Because Silla could not ruler over all the territory of the Three kingdoms of Korea, and Balhae controlled the territory of destroyed Goguryeo, it cannot be said to be "unified silla". So, the term is now changed into "North South Period" by the schollars. In order to reflect on the current trends of historians, the term of Unified Silla should be moved to Silla in North South PeriodTalk:Unified_Silla. Please participate the discussion. --75.49.2.82 20:50, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning up, Visviva, that helps. But I still think things are too confusing for newbies and otherwise busy Wikipedians. As far as I can tell, there's no sense of community or coordinated action because there are just too many similar pages:
Instead of directing people's attention, these pages just confuse and dilute, IMHO. Even on this project page, the "collaboration of the month" is easily overlooked because it's not integrated into the page design.
Or is it just me? Goguryeo 22:28, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Another anonymous Japanese IP address is working with User:Jjok to delete relevant introductory summary from Korea under Japanese rule. Please put these types of articles on your watchlist, although I realize a lot of people are off to their Thanksgiving vacations right now. Room218 18:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps other WikiProject members can add some insights here? Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Family name categories The question is over whether it is appropriate to have categories organizing people by family name only. -- Visviva 08:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Please have a look at Brown's gas and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brown's gas (2nd nomination)
Related AfDs and some discussions at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chemistry#Strange_set_of_articles. We are suspecting that this technology is totally bogus and the companies are only existing to to collect money from uninformed investors. Anyway, Wikipedia isn't a stock market watchdog, but in addition the entire business would be rather non-notable.
The creator of the articles is repeatedly assuring that B.E.S.T. KOREA CO.,LTD is a respected, big company in Korea, and its boosting of Brown's gas would make it notable.

The French Wikipedia article for Baekdu Mountain, most likely written by a Chinese person, is VERY BIAS. Could someone who speaks French please fix the page up?French Wikipedia Article . Thanks --DandanxD 10:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I just checked the french article fr:Changbai and there is nothing bias about it. It's an exact translation of the first paragraph of the english article Changbai, plus it includes all the names in the infobox. The signification of the name given: « mont des neiges éternelles », is the korean one: "Perpetually White Mountain Range", not the chinese one, but it's added now. Luccas 22:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
fr:Changbai corresponds to Changbai Mountains of en:. Currently, fr: doesn't have an article about Baekdu Mountain, which is a part of Changbai. This might have been a source for confusion. --Acepectif 15:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I see Visviva has been working hard (but alone) on the article assessments. Is there an easy way to see a list of, for example, high priority but low quality articles?
Also, can we find out how often an article page gets viewed? Is there a list of most popular articles, to help us prioritize? Goguryeo 01:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. It would be nice, I think, to easily find a list of top priority articles that are in the worst shape. Just an idea for later. One more thing, is the template on the project page still being promoted, or is it superceded by the ((korean)) template? The latter seems much more useful. Goguryeo 20:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I would defer to User:Good friend100 concerning ((WikiProject Korea)). I believe the idea was for it to balance the similar templates used by other WikiProjects. I'm afraid I will always favor ((korean)); it also has the advantage of already being on thousands of pages, and has been around for a long time (the original version was added to about 2,000 pages by User:Kokiri back in 2004, long before this sort of thing was common). I agree that intersecting the two categorization schemes is a good idea, but think it probably needs to wait until many more articles have been assessed. Cheers, -- Visviva 02:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I have taken a stab at assessing the importance and priority level of some of the sites currently listed under the category of archaeological sites in Korea, for example, Pungnap Toseong, Anapji, and Heavenly Horse Tomb and others. I tried to adhere to the standards set for the development of Korean-related articles. Please confirm when you get the chance. Mumun 22:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Great! I agree with what you've done. We should be strict. Indeed, I really didn't provide any reason for why I assessed the way that I did. You seem to read my mind though -- most articles need expansion and need to properly reference the site excavation reports! I'll try to address these issues before year's end if possible.
Regarding the Gyeongju Basin article, I found that citation:
I couldn't locate this article online, and so I found an abstract and the above reference on Proquest. Unfortunately, the Proquest resource doesn't seem to indicate on which page the article finishes, and the table of contents for the issue seems to have a problem with pagination. Haven't been able to see the library copy yet. It will be good to keep the other conference paper as a link.
It would be good to at least look more closely at the issue of how we define D and E articles as per the reasons you mention. Mumun 12:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi all,
I've created a standard set of navigational icons, see Template:Korea icons. Hopefully this will help in the process of creating a structure here that is clear, robust & inviting. The advantage of putting this all in one template is that when we want to change one icon for another, we only need to edit that single template. You can see the current icon set in use in various places, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Navigation and Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Working groups. The working group icons are less than ideal, but were the best I could come up with; if anyone has some good free PNGs or GIFs of iconic Coreana, please upload them.
I also created Template:Korea sidebar as a compact version of /Navigation, but am not happy with the look. If you can make it better, please do. Happiness -- Visviva 07:19, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi folks,
I've stubbed out a little thing I call the redlist. The idea of this is to be as comprehensive as possible a list of encyclopedic Korea-related topics for which we do not yet have articles. This will hopefully get around the problems of both the to-do list (space constraints) and the old "complete to-do list" (too many different kinds of tasks, no topical breakdown). We'll see...
The list is broken down by working group, with a section (currently empty!) for uncreated articles without an associated working group. The section for each working group is actually housed at "(group name)/Redlist", and transcluded to the main list. For example, the DPRK redlist is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/DPRK/Redlist. Each sublist should probably also be transcluded to the working-group page. Note that the Military history WG's situation is a little different, due to the need for cross-compatibility with the military history project.
Please feel free to add everything you can think of to these lists. Cheers, -- Visviva 06:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
There's a brand new editor at work on Korean G-7: it came to my attention when s/he incorrectly added it to WP:FA. Can anyone here help orient the new editor and tidy up the article, including adding categories? I tried to do some cleanup, but the content is out of my territory. Thanks, Sandy (Talk) 19:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Since both South Korea and North Korea agreed to include Dokdo on the Unification Flag, could someone upload the updated flag? Thank you! --DandanxD 10:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I took upon myself to create a separate article for the South Korean won used between 1945 and 1953. And I've edited ((Template:Historical currencies of Korea)) accordingly so that it doesn't link twice to South Korean won. I also took the liberty of raising the assessment rating of South Korean won from B to A, since alot of work has been put on it recently.
I haven't been a wikipedian for long so I'd like if someone else could review South Korean won, as I think it may have attained Good Article status by now. I just don't feel comfortable nominating an article after I've done some major contributions to it. — Luccas 04:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
The recent photo of HSR-350x has been deleted, or will be deleted due to the copy right violation. Can Anybody can take a private photo of HSR-350x and upload in Wikipedia? The Korean G-7 needs an image for HSR-350x.

As many of you members have noticed, talk:Sea of Japan naming dispute shows another case of sock puppetry of users who had much potentials for contributing to Wikipedia.

Hi all,
((Korean)) now uses the quality as the sortkey when it categorizes by priority and by group, and the priority as the sortkey when it categorizes by quality. I just implemented this, so it will take a few hours/days to propagate.
See for example Category:Start-class Korea-related articles; in a short time, everything there should be sorted under the numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5. It's not a perfect solution, but this should address most of the issues previously raised by [name removed]'s presumed sockpuppet #532.* ;-) Cheers, -- Visviva 16:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Please see the discussion about Hansung Machinery Co., a Korean company, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Korea.

Yug has renamed Goguryeo-Sui Wars to Goguryeo-China Wars, because he wants to include later Tang-Silla invasions of Baekje-Goguryeo, which I think is really a separate war. It doesn't make sense, because if you call it Goguryeo-China Wars, the article should include all wars between Goguryeo and China, including the wars against the Four Han Colonies, all the way through Goguryeo's fall. The article as-is, is not about that, it's really about the war between Goguryeo and the Sui Dynasty, which itself is a major, specific topic that should have its own article. If he wants to create another article on the Tang-Silla invasions of Baekje-Goguryeo, that's fine, but don't hijack an existing article on a different topic. Please see and say what you think about it. Thank you. OpieNn 19:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
A number of themes (e.g., rails, Germany) have worked on rating the importance of topics. I think we could do this for Korean topics. To help us, I have reworded a form used for rails and Germany. Please fill in examples and make any changes you feel are needed. There is a difference in what is considered a city in Korea and in Germany. Thus, Nonsan in Korea is considered almost a village and (other than its role as home of a training camp for draftees and its role in Paekje history) negligible whereas a city of comparable size (about 130,000) in Germany would be classed at least at mid. So maybe the community criteria should be changed.
Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
Top | The article is one of the core topics concerning Korea. Generally, this is limited to those articles that are listed on ((Korea topics)) | A reader who does not have a personal or professional connection with Korea will none-the-less have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily. Communities: large and internationally famous cities such as Seoul as well as smaller communities of international fame. | Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages. | Korea |
High | The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding the history, social, cultural, religious, or economic aspects of Korea. | Most readers will at least be familiar with the topic being discussed. | These articles describe the basics beyond the core topics about Korea and the more significant historical events in and concerning Korea. Articles about the most basic topics concerning Korea, its history and geography, like mountain ranges, rivers, states, and the most historically and culturally significant topics are included in this level. Some technical terms can be used within articles in this range, but where they are used, they should be explained or at least link to articles that discuss the terms in more detail. Communities: Towns with a population of over 100,000 not qualifying for a higher rating. | Korean War? |
Mid | The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history, social, cultural, religious, or economic aspects of Korea. | Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject. | Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand Korea, its history and culture. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Communities: most towns of any real significance that do not qualify at a higher level (default). | Taejeon ? (or should it be higher, as it would be for Germany?). Buyo |
Low | The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Korea or Korea history. | Few readers not specifically concerned with Korea or Korean affairs or who are not within the local area of the article's topic may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. | Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of Korea, using technical or local terms (and defining or explaining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most subway and local railway stations, short line railroad companies, small rivers, almost all individual mountains and other items that otherwise have no significant impact on Korea as a whole or its reputation. Communities: most suburbs, dormitory towns, villages and other settlements of purely local significance. | Korean swords |

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

Hi everyone, I'd like to bring Dokdo article to your attention.
Right now, the article is going under a time of crisis - attacked by two complete JPOV Wikipedia newbies who don't know a single thing about the rules (i.e. burden of proof is on the person who brings the argument & WP:NOR) at two angles - the introductory paragraph's POVness and the name of the article.
As all of you veterans remember, the changing the name of the article from Liancourt Rock to Dokdo was a very slow, painful, and consuming process. Well guys, we're not going to go through that again. But, the article needs support from the rest of the community to clarify that there is general consensus on the title of the article as in status quo.
The article has been maintaining its shape, thanks to me, but I seem to have lost my "authority" to the newbies after having debated and argued them for so long. What we really need is a group of users who understand the situation fully & have been editing in Wikipedia for a long time & voice their opinions.
I think that might shut the newbies up. Or if they're persistent, even against the community's consensus (yet to be revealed), just revert their edits & ban them for WP:3RR. If you think I sound cruel, that's completely not the case. Actually read the discussion. This guy called Opp2 has been so persistent - I've been arguing w him from early December. For nearly one and half months! That's about 50 days. Already, a single archive has been made just for that user's jabbering. A lot of my time, concentration, and will to edit have been completely consumed and decimated by that little guy!
Yes, I want to bring end to this. Any time something like this happens, the community needs to return in a mobilized form, as it has done before in previous conflicts, show general consensus, and bring peace to the world. (Wikimachine 06:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC))
That is all. (Wikimachine 22:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC))
the ((korean)) template seems to dominate, and already that covers for both the portal and WP:KO. So, why not delete the original template made by Good friend100? (Wikimachine 22:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC))
I'm concerned about a couple of editors, followers of this man, who seem to be convinced the other editors are just trying to defame Jung Myung Seok (talk) out of hate and therefore are refusing to work with us. I don't mind them editing, but one user in particular, Uptional, seems to be especially disruptive. He has now added a NPOV label to the article saying the other editors are biased (without giving specific examples of what needs to be fixed on the article), which I suspect is to discredit the article and draw attention to his POV which he put on the talk page. The user has also done many other disruptive things. So someone coming in and commenting would be appreciated (or helping build up the article). Literally followers of this man are taught that people who criticize him are "satans", so it's making it hard for followers and non-followers of Jung to work together because of this mindset, since the criticism (as well as negative facts) have to be added for completeness. There's also a bit of emotion flying around on both sides, as obviously all editors are very passionate about the issue. Thanks, RB972 05:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
As an island claimed by the Republic of Korea, I propose that Wikiproject:Korea add this territorial dispute article to project:Korea. Darkstyx 21:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
There recently has been an editing war between various users in the article Koreans with regards to related ethnic groups and whehter or not the relatedness info box should remain. I would like to ask the Korean Wikipedia Project community to participate in building a consensus in these disputed matters as to provide a resolution. The article also needs a lot of work up. Any participation would be appreciated. Cydevil 23:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Im checking it out right now. (Seong0980 09:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC))
Can I add this project tag to pages about South Korean films I create pages for ? --Jackaranga 16:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I just created a new template for Foreign relations of South Korea
Africa | ||
---|---|---|
Americas | ||
Asia | ||
Europe | ||
Oceania | ||
Multilateral relations | ||
. Please help to improve it and place it in related articles. Articles on South Korea-Russia relations and North Korea-South Korea relations need to be created. OpieNn 18:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
(Read this if you can understand Korean.)
제 생각에는 ((Ko-h)), ((Ko-hh)), ((Ko-hhrm)), ((Ko-hrm)) 그리고 ((Ko-chmr)) 혹은 ((Nihongo)) 비슷한 template들이 ((Koreanname)) 을 대체해야 합니다.
중국 관련 문서들(예를 들어 Confucius, China.)은 물론 일본 관련 문서들(예를 들어 Japan, Anime.)도 이름상자를 버리고 문서 안에서 원어이름을 표기하고 있습니다. 하물며, 어떤 사물 혹은 사람이, 여러 언어의 이름을 가지지 않은 이상(Baekdu Mountain, Ten thousand years, Tofu.), ((Koreanname)) 의 사용은 무의미합니다. 또, 보기에도 안 좋습니다.--JSH-alivetalk to mesee my worksmail to me 10:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Korean name | |
Hangul | 이름 / 성명 |
---|---|
Hanja | 이름 / 姓名 |
Revised Romanization | ireum / seongmyeong |
McCune–Reischauer | irŭm / sŏngmyŏng |
A Korean personal name consists of a family name followed by a given name. Both of these are usually composed of hanja, which are Chinese characters in Korean pronunciation. Hanja are no longer used officially in North Korea, and their use in given names is restricted to 5,038 characters in South Korea.

I see very little anywhere on Wikipedia describing Korean castles or fortresses, as a stylistic whole, or individually. Certainly they existed, and certainly many are still extant, no? Wikipedia:WikiProject Castles has recently come into existence, and could use the help of experts on Korea to expand Wikipedia's coverage of castles and fortresses around the world. Thank you.

An Editor deleted all of the Edits on War Crimes and Cover-up efforts of Imperial Japan. Also I can't get the 1910 Arguments and interp Title to show it's there but it does not show up in the Sandbox or on the Actual Article. Assistance would be appreciated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Easternknight (talk • contribs) 03:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

Hey everyone, I started an article on Gwanghwamun. I was surprised that none existed. Anywho, feel free to improve it.Bethereds 20:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
WP:KOREA redirects to the project page, while WP:Korea redirects to the notice board. Is anyone regularly using the latter? It's used in less than ten pages and it's easy confuse the two redirects, so I think WP:Korea should be deleted or redirected to the project page instead. YooChung 04:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
