Transliteration of Cities, Towns, and Provinces of the Philippines into Hangul

Good evening! I am originally from WikiProject Philippines. And I would like to offer help to WikiProject Korea by translating cities, towns, and provinces of the Philippines into Hangul so as to aid Korean Wikipedians who are interested in creating, editing, and expanding articles that are related to the Philippines. I hope for the immediate response. Thanks! - Merrick Lee 23:47, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Korean prosecution service에 대한 english content

많이 왜곡되고 특정 지지세력-현재 한국의 진보세력이라고 일컬어지는 분들이 좋아할 만한 내용으로 가득하네요. 객관성이 떨어진다고 보여집니다. 적어도 한국 법이 어떤 원리애 따라 제정되고 검찰이 어떤 위치를 갖는지 법률적인 관점이 아니라 특정 세력-국회법사위나 자칭 진보세력들이 원하는대로 글을 썼다는 것이 명백하개 보여집니다.

This article is too biased and negative toward korean prosecution service in general. It seems that the author described Korean prosecution service from too controversial cases. Actually the right wing(half of the population supports some prosecution cases while the left wing blames them. The author wrote and understand all the mentioned cases from radical or leftist views.

WP:AGF. You should not assume author wrote like that. --레비Revi^con 05:39, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Basic grammar check

I started a quick stub at ko:함대 컬렉션, however I'm not too confident on my grammar. Does anyone feel like double-checking if what I've written makes grammatical sense? Thanks. --benlisquare_T•C•E 09:17, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Jung Myung Seok

Seeking uninvolved admins to take a good look at the article on Jung Myung Seok (a Korean religious leader). This article has been the subject of edit-warring and both full and semi-protection for over a year. I listed it several days ago at WP:ANI (see here), but no one has responded so far. Thanks. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 19:17, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

"Veterans Day"

The usage of Veterans Day (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Veterans Day (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Veterans Day (United States) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is under discussion, see talk:Veterans Day (United States).

Indirectly, this concerns also Veterans Day (South Korea). -- 签名 _sig at 08:21, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Jung Myung Seok, again — translations for Korean quotations and headlines

I'd like to ask anyone here who speaks Korean (I mean anyone — not just uninvolved admins) to look at the Jung Myung Seok article and help supply decent English translations of the Korean-language quotations and headlines in the cited news stories in the footnote references. Several of the source cites (I count five right now) are accompanied by one-sentence excerpts in Korean; per WP:NONENG, we are supposed to include English translations of these quotations alongside the original Korean text. Also, the headlines (titles) of several of the Korean news stories are currently accompanied by English translations of dubious quality (my favourite is "JMS (Jeong Myeong Seok) seeds, rape 60 million won alimony confirmed followers") — we need to clean these up. The idea here is that non-English sources are supposed to include enough English translation to allow readers and editors to verify that the sources are really substantiating the statements in the article body to which they are attached. This is especially important for an article like this, on a highly controversial topic. Thanks for any help. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 17:34, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

What's the difference between Jangdokdae and Jangdok?

We don't have a good explanation, and commons categories - commons:Category:Jangdokdae and commons:Category:Jangdok - seem to me to show the very same objects. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:27, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Ban Ki-moon FAR

I have nominated Ban Ki-moon for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. -- Khazar2 (talk) 17:04, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Activity

Hello! I've been looking around the WP:KO portal for a while, and I've noticed that most of the information was outdated, unkempt, or just discarded. So I was wondering if anyone was active here. So here goes: Is anyone here? Can you read this? If you can, please comment below. Just checking. Kkj11210 (talk) 15:35, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

There's several active users watching this talk page, but I don't think anyone has been updating the main project page, no. quant18 (talk) 04:09, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Do you know who's in charge of the main project page? Or anyone who's been working on it? Kkj11210 (talk) 05:54, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, by definition (wp:OWN), no one person nor indeed body of people are ever in charge of a WP article or project. Barring a handful of paid WP employees, all editors are volunteers. All editors' free time comes in fits and starts, so you are as much free as A.N.Other to do things and suggest things on any project, and will be welcomed for your time and effort.

As for who's working on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Korea ... well, of course one can see whoever's recently updated the main page [like this].

And to see who's recently edited any page tagged as associated with the Korea project, one can follow this link.Trafford09 (talk) 10:35, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Over 600 editors have Korea on their watchlist - per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Korea#Watchers. Trafford09 (talk) 09:26, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

I was just wondering if anyone wanted to update the major project pages, seeing that the project's not being used very much recently. Kkj11210 (talk) 04:41, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Be bold and update whatever you want; as noted, this semi-active project doesn't have any regular maintenance team. Heck, it's not even active enough to answer half of the questions here :( --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:18, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Re "the project's not being used very much recently": well, that may appear so, but of course there may be many readers who are drawn to the project page and, from there, proceed to view &/or edit articles associated with the project. Finding their numbers takes more research! Trafford09 (talk) 10:35, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, I'm updating the active user list right now, so we'll see Kkj11210 (talk) 03:39, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

I somehow got the feeling that this WikiProject has become relatively dead this year. It was much more active a few years ago, but somehow things have changed lately. --benlisquare_T•C•E 06:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

I am relatively new around here, so I don't really know who the active members are (or used to be). But for those of you who know: check the activity levels of your colleagues, give them a barnstar where applicable, try to engage them in some initiative. Remind them that it's fun to be here :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

I've updated the user list and alphabetized it, so we know who's active. I'm thinking about sending a message to all the people who's still active and on the list. How is it? Kkj11210 (talk) 06:40, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Good job. I'm glad that there are people still active and contributing. Jae ₩on (Deposit) 03:27, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
