Dynamic IP 172 in previous section: trying to reach you

IP 172 who is responsible for most of the content in the section above about Hangul linktext, I responded to you in a couple of places, but I just realized you have a dynamic IP usually starting 172.56.232 but never or rarely the same one. I was going to respond at your Talk page with a {{talkback}} template, but realized you'd never see it as your IP flips over to another one. It would be great if you could WP:REGISTER for a free account, but if you don't wish to do that, can you just pick a Talk page link from any of the previous IPs as a designated spot where we can leave you Talkback or other messages? It doesn't matter if you ever get back to that IP or not, you (and anybody) can write on the chosen user talk page. You can pick any of the Talk pages associated with one of your dynamic IPs.

As an example, I've left you a 'Welcome' message at User talk:172.56.232.187, and you're welcome to choose that page, if you wish, as a stable location for communication, or pick a different one. I'd just ask that once you choose one IP Talk page, and that you use the same one each time, no matter what your newest IP happens to be. Make sense? If you're good with this, can you please reply at User talk:172.56.232.187#Welcome! just so I know you saw this message? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 00:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I am aware of the inconvenience from using dynamic IP addresses, but I am still not sure about this. I don't come here that often, and I don't want to have a certain username (or a static IP address) associated with me. 172.56.232.152 (talk) 00:57, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Okay. You're doing good work, so I can't complain, but it is somewhat of an inconvenience for other editors who might want to communicate with you. I hope you'll think of some solution that works for you, and let us know. Mathglot (talk) 01:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
A question about the above discussion: does the same logic apply to hanja syllables the same as hangul ones? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:11, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
The above discussion only pertains to Korean hangul text. It is not about any other language/script.
Chinese characters are logograms (each character usually represents a certain meaning), and are actively used by the Chinese and Japanese languages. So they should not be affected by the above discussion. 172.56.232.203 (talk) 14:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Crossposting

Hi, I'd like to propose a change to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean), and wanted to get more eyes on it. It's related to allowing special characters (namely for McCune–Reischauer) in titles.
