Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Jackmcbarn (talk) 14:26, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

The location of the islands should be modified from Sea of Japan to East Sea or at least to East Sea/Sea of Japan...

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding of the location, it should be described both names at least.(East Sea/Sea of Japan) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mudae4 (talk • contribs) 08:20, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Location of Dokdo/Tokdo is "DONGHAE"

The Location of Dokdo is Donghae not Sea of Japan. Because of this unsolved problem Korea and Japan are still fighting. So if the Wikipedia is the dictionary for everyone in the world, wiki should respect every people including Koreans. At least, the location of Dokdo should be Donghae/Sea of Japan. There are so lot of reasons to say why Dokdo's location is Donghae. You could know it clearly at this site. http://maywespeak.com/ Thank you. 짱구보단 한국 (talk) 09:03, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Please change "Sea of Japan" to "East Sea" with reference to http://www.lonelyplanet.com/maps/asia/south-korea/

Yeah i totally agree...but, unfortunately, Korea's influence over other countries, or diplomatic power, is not that high...so, i guess it will happen in the futue.

Add "Under the de facto control of South Korea" or something similar in the lead

First of all, I am not Japanese nor Korean.

That being said, I believe the fact that South Korea has de facto control over these rocks should be mentioned in the lead, perhaps by changing

"Sovereignty over the islets is disputed between Japan and South Korea."

to

"While South Korea has de facto control over the islets, its sovereignty over them is contested by Japan."

Note that the Senkaku Islands lead mentions "Japanese control", the Kashmir lead mentions it being "administered by three countries: India, Pakistan, and the People's Republic of China", the Kuril Islands lead mentions "All of the islands are under the Russian jurisdiction", and the Falkland Islands lead mentions "British administration". Liancourt is an anomaly here, and Wikipedia probably doesn't want casual readers to think that nobody has de facto control over Liancourt after reading just the lead.--Hinmatóowyalahtqit (talk) 20:11, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
