Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Korean Air's HQ is at 1370, Gonghang-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, Korea - Would someone mind photographing it? Thank you [1]

Collection of articles that is not notable

All the articles here Template:KLIA seem to be not notable in the slightest. I'd actually say they are a prime candidate for speedy deletion, but I'm way out of my league here so I'll let you guys handle this one. --DanielPharos (talk) 21:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I nominated the CJ Group article for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CJ Group. I however also have a question: a WHOLE lot of articles like this were created by User talk:Mirmo! back in 2006. All these articles are the same. Just check out Hanwha Damage Insurance, Kyowon Nara Automobile Insurance and Dongbu Fire for example. None of these articles link to external sources. User:DAJF blocked my speedy deletion on them, but starting a AfD on all of them seems a bit... messy. What to do? --DanielPharos (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

List of Korean inventions and innovations

List of Korean inventions and innovations I've been doing some work on it, the Chinese/Japanese/Indian/Islamic inventions included things such as board games and martial arts, so I figured I would add those as well. Any help especially in finding more sources would be helpful, I haven't noticed a monthly project any more, perhaps this article could be the one?

Haeundae (film)

A number of IP users have been changing "Sea of Japan (East Sea)" to "East Sea (Sea of Japan)"; this is contrary to existing Wikipedia concensus outlined at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean)#Sea of Japan (East Sea). I've reverted, pointed the IPs to the relevant guideline, even had the article protected for a few days, but it keeps happening. A few more eyes on this would be welcome, especially as I'm going to be offline for a few days. Regards. PC78 (talk) 13:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

In all fairness that is a 4 year old !vote that had a grand total of 13 participants and a few detractors. There has been a recent push in Korea to promote "East Sea" and wikipedia convention has always existed that spelling (in the case of American/british) respect the country of origin of the subject. So there is plenty of precedent to use region specific things in articles. Perhaps it is time the issue was examined again. Consensus can change, and the usage of a name for something can also change.--Crossmr (talk) 14:00, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I don't disagree with you there, but challenging and reopening a debate over an existing concensus is not the same as someone taking it upon themselves to simply ignore it. Touch wood but it seems to have blown over in that article anyway. PC78 (talk) 16:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Photo requests: Korean Air and Asiana Airlines headquarters

The articles for Korean Air and Asiana Airlines need photographs of their headquarters in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. Korean Air's is in Gonghang-dong and Asiana's is in Osoe-dong. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

who are the 체광족?

If anyone here can figure out who the 체광 people of Nepal are, could you correct it at Hunminjeongeum Society (Seoul)?

Thanks, kwami (talk) 08:21, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Never mind. Another paper had Chepang. Looks like "광" may have been a misreading of 팡. kwami (talk) 20:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

East Asian calligraphy

Hello, there is a contest against totally undiscussed cut-and-paste blanking/merging/splitting of East Asian calligraphy by Asoer (talk · contribs). I don't see any active discussion on the edit, so there is naturally no consensus for that. Since it is pertinent to at least "four WikiProject", I'm drawing your attention to the article and hope you would give some useful input on the matter on Talk:East Asian calligraphy. Any active members who are interests in East Asian culture/art would be greatly helpful for the issue. Thanks.--Caspian blue 03:21, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Taejo of Joseon and Joseon Tongsinsa

Hi, can you please come to discuss disputes on the talk page of Taejo of Joseon, and Joseon Tongsinsa? I deleted some unnecessary information in Taejo of Joseon about relationships with Japan added by User:Tenmei. But the user readded it and placed a lot of talks on Talk that I can not understand. He did the same to Joseon Tongsinsa. He deleted arbitrary about diplomatic mission (Tongsinsa) of Joseon Dynasty before Japanese invasions of Korea, and changed their name as old romanization. Those are history articles that need more opinion from editors who know Korean history. Please join the discussions. Thank you.--Historiographer (talk) 14:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

ROK: a presidential republic, semi-presidential republic, or something else?

Intermittent edit wars have been going on for months at the South Korea article over whether the infobox should say presidential, semi-presidential, or constitutional republic. Another editor has attempted to start a discussion and I am hoping that we can nip this in the bud this time around, at Talk:South Korea#Government System. As I know next to nothing about Korean politics, I have refrained from making any substantive comments, I was just trying to ensure that the correct processes were followed. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 04:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Popular pages

I've only recently found out about the popular pages toolserver; this tool creates a list of articles tagged for a specific project or work group and ranks them in order of page views. I'm putting in a request to have a list generated for this project (as well as a list for the Korean films work group). Hopefully our most popular articles won't all be stubs! :) PC78 (talk) 01:42, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Unequal Treaties is up for rename and a relate page is to be deleted. See Talk:Unequal_Treaties#Requested_move
