Contradictions on hdi

there are two very contradictory reports regarding the DPRK hdi. One is the one from algora publishing presently mentioned in this article. the other is the 1998 U.N report mentioned in the 2009 version hdi a wiki article which states a far higher hdi of 0.766. Which one is correct? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index_(2009)#Countries_missing_from_latest_report

B. Fairbairn seems to be on a long term vendetta to remove this photo from the page. I don't understand why.--Jack Upland (talk) 09:27, 23 December 2015 (UTC) ' YOU ARE A BARBARIAN[reply]

History etc

I don't see why we need a long pre-division history here with three maps and several photos. I raised this issue previously but didn't get a satisfactory answer. Also, this article has multiple maps of (North) Korea. Why? We have many good photos of North Korea, but we are not using them here. Why?--Jack Upland (talk) 11:30, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There were 11 maps or similar images. I have removed some of them that were not directly related to North Korea.--Jack Upland (talk) 04:49, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please insert following citation to replace citation needed request toward the end of the fourth paragraph in the introductory section (second last sentence). This article contains estimates that confirm the numbers of casualties to be in the hundreds of thousands in a 15 year period.

Not done: The citation needed template has been removed and there are already an abundance of reference citations in the lead (the "introductory section"), most of which should be removed to the lower content sections and out of the lead. Thank you for your help, and perhaps a place for your source can be found in another section of the article?  Be prosperous! Paine  22:23, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DPRK

The name of the country is Democratic People's Republic of Korea. This is what should be used as title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.87.222.113 (talk) 02:49, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is discussed above at Talk:North Korea#Article should use the official name. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:09, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Surveillance cameras

The "Law enforcement" section includes the following:

Mass surveillance is carried out through a system which includes 100,000 CCTV cameras, many of which are installed at the border with China.

The source for this is The Telegraph which refers to a story by Chosun Ilbo. As The Telegraph itself has noted, Chosun Ilbo has produced many unreliable, propagandistic stories about North Korea.[1] In any case, the story is speculation apparently based on trade statistics. Moreover, as our article on the China–North Korea border shows, security there is not very tight. I don't think this is solid enough to be included here.--Jack Upland (talk) 06:09, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
