Guryong

I created a stub about this forgotten Seoul's neighbourhood. Not sure if this shouldn't be moved to Guryong Village, and a disambig created in its place? I think the corresponding ko wiki article is ko:구룡마을. Feel free to expand. Also, commons page commons:구룡마을 should probably be converted into a category. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:09, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

The Commons gallery is created by known problematic copyvio uploader, I need to check them but there's so much files......... Anyway I agree that it should be Guryong Village. — regards, Revi 04:35, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

No Gun Ri Massacre

We are going through an overhaul on the No Gun Ri Massacre article, and I would like to include a translation of the name of the event in Korean. I don't speak Korean, nor does anyone else working on the project. Any help is greatly appreciated. Timothyjosephwood (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Last year I wrote Korea Queer Culture Festival. Sadly, the organizers ignored my emails and (during the festival) in-person requests to use CC license for their media. Someone could add some coverage of the recent events (parade banned by police this year), but I am moving on to other topics. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:41, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Request sources

Hi. I am improving The Arabic article of Joseon and I Just miss the sources to write a small paragraph about the Royalty. Could someone please notes some English sources about the royal family, its origin, sub-clans, and General information? Thank you.--Sayom (talk) 20:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

{{WikiProject South Korea}} and {{WikiProject North Korea}}

{{WikiProject South Korea}} and {{WikiProject North Korea}} project banners still exist, even though the unilateral creation of these projects have been reverted to being taskforces of WPKOREA. Indeed WPNORTHKOREA's banner is broken, since none of the associated article rating categories exist. Can we have a bot replace all instances of these banners with WPKOREA's banner, and delete all the inappropriate article-rating categories? -- 70.51.202.183 (talk) 06:06, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

I think we agreed to merge those templates into one. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Korea#Undoing_the_WP:ROK_and_WP:DPRK_confusion. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:07, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

So, has the WPKOREA banner been updated to support the ROK taskforce per that discussion? And can we file a botrequest to update the banners? -- 70.51.202.183 (talk) 07:10, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Request for help

Hi to all,

Hope you are doing well. I am coming over from No Gun Ri Massacre, where a heated debate has been going for years, on-and-off. In essence, the dispute arises from contradicting sources. If anyone would be so kind as to come over and help me out, particularly through mediating and arbitrating the feud, I would be tremendously appreciative. Experienced dispute resolution mediators are ideal, but any help is great. Also, any volunteers will receive my custom-made No Gun Ri barnstar for their heroic efforts. If you simply wish to watch the argument unfold, that's also fine.

If you want to read up a bit on the event itself, here are a smattering of sources that might help out:

Article on the massacre in general: [1]

Legal implications: [2]

Washington Post article: [3]

Article by Charles Hanley: [4]

Thesis on the massacre: [5]

Best,

Whoa. Just went over there and slammed into the wall of text, and that's gonna take some time to get through. However, I think I might be able to improve at least something. Dakarias (talk) 01:26, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

It's not my area but I took a look at that debate awhile ago and felt true fear...good luck to you brave soul.Peachywink (talk) 03:42, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Copyright Violation Detection - EranBot Project

A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. These likely copyright violations can be searched by WikiProject categories. Use "control-f" to jump to your area of interest.--Lucas559 (talk) 22:42, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

"King of Hell"

Chunseong

Could someone who can read the Korean-language sources please give attention to Chunseong, with a view to bringing it to an acceptable standard. Most of the present text is impenetrable. Thanks: Noyster (talk), 13:09, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Why should we bring this article to any standard (apart from standard deletion) ? Pldx1 (talk) 10:11, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

I'll try cleaning it up. Jangdan (talk) 02:24, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

I think we should update all romanizations to the Revised Romanization system?

As you probably know, the South Korean government has issued a new romanization system that is, in my opinion, more superior to the old McCune–Reischauer system. McCune–Reischauer is hard to read and write. Extra marks on top of vowels, and apostrophes after strong sounds (like Ch'ungch'ŏngdo (충청도)) distracts fluent reading. RR doesn't have any marks on top of vowels (whatever they're called) and it can be read much more closely to the native Korean pronounciation. Widely used Korean words such as Paektu and Chaebol aren't romanized to the current system. Of course, living in Korea, I see a transition phase, I see these two systems both being used widely, with the state defined Revised Romanization gaining more traction. The English Wikipedia should too, start converting old romanizaitons to newer verisions.

Some points that must be thought through a little more though:

1. It's not fair because North Korea doesn't acknowledge the Revised Romanization system.
2. Some expressions already entered the English language (maybe even Chaebol?) with the McCune–Reischauer system. I don't think these can be fixed.

Your thoughts?????
