Profile Picture

Is it possible for someone to upload a recent profile picture of Jonghyun for his wikipedia page? It will be helpful so that people can identify who he is.

Thanks.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 06:58, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]


JonghyunKim Jonghyun – per my previous successful RM at Kwon Yuri and Jessica Jung. His two bandmates Lee Taemin and Choi Minho are given in this style (except for Onew and Key, they are clearly stage name) and also per WP:NCP. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 09:59, 4 July 2012 (UTC) --Morning Sunshine (talk) 05:52, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. He is given as "김종현" (Kim Chong-hyŏn) on the Shinee site. It seems backwards for an encyclopedia to be on a "first name basis" with a subject when he himself uses his full name for his Twitter account. The argument in favor single names for Korean performers is that these are stage names. But Korean movie and TV credits are generally by full name. Even when the short form of a name is an actual credited stage name, that doesn't necessarily override WP:NCP#Single_name. Kauffner (talk) 14:00, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Removal of nicknames from infobox

I have removed the nicknames from the 'also known as' field of the infobox. The field is meant for alternate names used professionally and not covered elsewhere in the infobox. It is not for nicknames. According to the article he has used none of those names professionally, so please do not re-add them to the infobox. :) Shinyang-i (talk) 07:01, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Listen, if you guys are fans of Shinee and Jonghyun, you should be following their official forum (shineee.net) as well as other Kpop related sites as netizenbuzz or several fanpages on tumblr. These sites usually link to the official source, so use it instead of allkpop or soompi or whatever. These sites are not reliable. Try to make this site look more serious if you actually care about him! I would add sources on my own and improve the article but I'm busy with my exams right now and I only have internet on my phone so it will take a few month before I can help out, till then it would be nice if other users at least try to do something usefull instead to add crappy sources and create useless stuff, thanks! --46.114.33.94 (talk) 15:41, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 20 December 2017

Please add that, according to a credible weibo post (reliable source from previous posts) Jonghyun is an organ donor and his organs will be donated. https://www.allkpop.com/forum/threads/jonghyun-will-be-donating-his-organs-left-heritage-for-sister.127821/ 101.53.221.103 (talk) 04:33, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Convenience Store Details

Hello,

I don't think on an encyclopedic standpoint that we should be including the Convenience Store Details, because the Convenience Store Details are not really necessary per WP:NOTNEWS, like what Jonghyun bought and the car moving back and forth. What do you guys think?

Sincerely,

Tibbydibby (talk) 00:41, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Change on article main Image.

Proposition to change the image of the article, due to the lack of representation of the profession or personality of the subject. Also, to avoid possible stigma or bad judgement of those seeking mental health support.

Suggestion to change to Picture (Copyright free) 19/09/2015 Guerrila Date Healing Story by Jonghyun ©Newsen AuraAcqua (talk) 10:15, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose I don't see how his current image causes stigma or bad judgment. Plus can you link to the image you want? CherryPie94 (talk) 10:32, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The bad judgement is implied on the semiotics of the mentioned image. It portrays darkness in a profile of a deceased who fought to get out of it. Black images with heavy facial expressions portray stigma on those depressed because it creates a false sense of inevitable failure. It could be changed to portray a better image of the singer and a better image of the behavior of the singer and those coping with depression as a sign of hope and not the lack of it. I can't upload the images because I don't have a computer at the moment and mobile version can not upload images, but if possible, these are images by Newsen media outlet coverage of the event Healing Story ny Jonghyun. I can not post links in these replies it seems. If there id another way of contacting editor to send the image, please guide me and I will. Thank you in advance. AuraAcqua (talk) 17:16, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please consider changing the main image of the english version of the article. It depicts a dark, sad image of the artist and promotes bad judgement about those seeking mental health support leading to stigmatized view about those coping with depression and doesn't relate with the profession of the artist.If you can't find (suggestion, because I can not upload images using mobile) images of the event Healing Story by Jonghyun (Newsen media outlet images of the event are not copyright restricted and can be used without issue with credits. I suggest using the same image of the Korean version of the article. This is very important. I hope you can help. As a depressed person and also as a fan, I count with your help to aid others to see a better image than this darkness connotation. Thank you. AuraAcqua (talk) 20:37, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds like a fan request to me, not a valid reason to change the pic. I really can't understand the reason to change it. I have depression too, but I don't see the connection between dark images to depression and stigma. Let's wait and see the opinion of other people. CherryPie94 (talk) 23:07, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what exactly means a fan request since there is detailed information about why this picture doesn't provide a good conotation of the main subject. Isn't to inform and provide something better than just a random description the purpose of putting an image in the article? It's pretty obvious thst is not a good picture of the deceased for anyone who knows the person or not. Considering the stigma of depression, the negative judgement of those who might not know something about Jonghyun's life or personality, The picture reinforce the conotation of depression as an endless darkness for those who might want to diss the depicted subject in other websites. It's sincerely important to maintain this one single specific image of the deceased for some reason? Because it doesn't provide any clue about the profession of the subject and it doesn't show a good source of light in the picture neither. The suggestion is valid because of this reason on top of the other mentioned. The suggestion of images of the event - Healing Story by Jonghyun - also provide a better lightning, a better resolution and a better image of the deceased and also a better understanding of the profession of the subject. AuraAcqua (talk) 05:20, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If it's too difficult to upload, the Korean version of the article have a better image aswell. Thank you in advance. AuraAcqua (talk) 05:25, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose As above by CherryPie94, a valid reason hasn't been provided, however if a better picture can be found, I'm ok to look into changing it. I'm not impressed by AuraAcqua who came to mytalk page and I see they have also gone to Explicit and PaleCloudedWhite user pages as well to try get people who have permission to make changes, change the picture on this article after being told no here. NZFC(talk) 05:26, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@AuraAcqua: is talking about this photo on Korean version of this article. I'm ok with it being changed to that or there are a number of other photos of him here that it could be changed too. But would need agreement from others before we change. NZFC(talk) 06:08, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing wrong with wanting to change the picture, anyone can do it and it can be discussed if reverted. However, AuraAcqua's approach was simply not appropriate (side note: I highly suggest you read the image use policy, as any copyrighted image from any media outlet would not abide by it, particularly in violating the non-free content criteria). Contacting other users following the opposition of this request can be construed as inappropriate canvassing. The request on my talk page was also incredibly loaded—particularly the "stigma" claim and "as a depressed person myself and a sincere fan" descriptor—and actions like these will only aid in further opposition of this request. As it stands, this current infobox image is perfectly fine. That being said, I have initiated a cursory search for replacements, particularly of images of Jonghyun from this year and there may be at least one viable candidate for a replacement. I'm currently at work, but later this evening, I may come up with something. xplicit 06:40, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a problem with the current picture - it hadn't struck me that it portrays the subject in a way that reinforces stigma about depression, and I'm talking as someone who has been diagnosed with depression in the past (seems to be a theme in this thread...). On the other hand, I also don't have a problem with the alternative image currently on the Korean article; both images are recent and clearly show the subject's face. I can understand why some readers might consider the Korean article image to be a more attractive one, due to the fact that the subject is smiling. It also has the advantage that the subject has an object associated with his profession - a microphone - in his hand. A question though is one of hair colour: one image it is dark, and the other it is pink. Was the subject known for usually having a particular hair colour? A quick scan of available images on Commons suggests that Jonghyun changed his hair colour quite frequently, with it usually being either dark or blond (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016), but maybe that doesn't matter. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 09:45, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have updated the infobox image. Hopefully, this will satisfy all involved parties. xplicit 09:54, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As informed in each person I tried to contact about the change in the picture informing not only the personal reasons but also the reasons that make the suggestion plausible considering how other websites use the images in Wikipedia articles as their headlines, when it comes to the bad resolution, the bad lightning, the bad description of the character of the deceased, the lack of connection with a direct understanding of the profession of the deceased, I believe that is a valid concern. The stigma still relevant and as also mentioned previously, If desired, I can show why this picture is not good by providing hateful and judgemental comments in another mentions of this pictures in other websites.

Also, As previously mentioned, I contacted other users because they were active right at the moment editing the page and I though this section wouldn't be visible for other editors if one editor only, replied first.

Using the mobile version of wikipedia, the responsivity of the website is poor. There is no clear option to edit or upload content depending on the browser used so that's the reason for contacting other editors who could have possibly passed here without reading this suggestion.

As I also previously mentioned, I am not the only person here wanting this picture to be changed into some other better image not only for the article, but for the deceased and for better usage in future mentions that could use the image here as a headline image.

I am not here trying to spend my time or the time of editors without a valid reason. It seems to be ridiculed by editors the reasons as a "fan request" despite the effort in providing t AuraAcqua (talk) 20:31, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The picture has been changed; have you not noticed? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 20:35, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's how you went about it, you don't canvas people you discuss it here. Like I told you on my page yet you messaged me again on it. You could have just said you wanted the picture changed and said we could have a better looking photo with out all the emotive stuff to try get sympathy for the change. That is just going to get people's backs up. In the end the picture has been changed and does look better, you just went about it wrong. NZFC(talk) 20:39, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

... providing the reasons, the technical issues and the concern regarding the semiotics of the image used in here.

I understand that is not easy to find an image with copy rights infringements but it this issue was relevant in the first place, the korean version of the article have another picture without any issue in this regard.

The suggested images proposed by me considering technical and semiotic value in this concern were also free to be used with credit. (Newsen media outlet) so I don't understand why there is so much apparent need to keep this image instead of other that could avoid misunderstandings in these regards.

As mentioned above, I am not here because I want to spend my time or the time of editors in vain. This is a solid request with solid reasons and visible reasons but seems to be ridiculed by some editors because of something I can't understand considering the amount of reasons and the formal tone I am trying to dispose in here.

As mentioned, I am using mobile to write and visualize this thread so I hope editors can be more understanding of the limitations. AuraAcqua (talk) 20:39, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for your efforts and also to the respect concerning the issue and for the deceased image. Also, apologies for the occured issues with posts due to the responsivity of the mobile version of the website. Have a nice day and new year. AuraAcqua (talk) 20:52, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Death section

Hello editors - is all of the information within the death section really necessary? Information such as, mentioned in a comment above, the convenience store happenings, where exactly in the room he was found or whether he was wearing a mask or not. I feel like a mass of minor edits are being made, re-phrasing a section which no longer needed to be altered. What are some other opinions on this? Alexanderlee (talk) 12:42, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the sentence about him not wearing a mask is not necessary. I'm conflicted with "What he bought from the store", I think it is unnecessary but at the same time feel like it is an important fact since some people think he went to the store to buy the coal briquettes for his suicide. CherryPie94 (talk) 12:56, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I will propose that the stuff that is struck out, like this, be removed from the section. Also, some wording might need to be adjusted due to the nature of the investigation results and his death. What do you guys think? Tibbydibby (talk) 23:38, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree a lot of information that isn't required that is just being added because it is published somewhere. Really it should just be down to the main facts of the death so I like what Tibbydibby has written and agree we should go with something like that. NZFC(talk) 04:04, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@CherryPie94, Alexanderlee, and NZ Footballs Conscience: I just crossed some more stuff out in my draft proposal. Do you guys want to read and suggest more changes? Feel free to edit my proposal (even removing the stuff I crossed out) and do feel free to let me know of any further editing before we go ahead and remove the bulk information. If there are any opposition to the proposal, feel free to voice it. Make sure you follow Wikipedia's policies though. Tibbydibby (talk) 18:50, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think what you have there is great and only including necessary information for Wikipedia, thank you for working on this. Alexanderlee (talk) 19:06, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, I like what you've done there Tibbydibby and feel that should be what is left included in that section now. If more wants to be added back in by other users then it should be relevant and not just gossip. NZFC(talk) 19:15, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you guys! I will do so in a few days once the people in the Wikiproject Group gets a chance to comment or even suggest further changes. But if nothing else is suggested, I will proceed to doing that edit on New Year's day in the daytime. Thank you again! Tibbydibby (talk) 19:22, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe later, but I say we should keep the edits for now. There's alot of gaps for alot of people right now, and I'm sure some fans are scared it's something bigger. I say we keep the edits for NOW, but once everything dies down, (most likely after his farewell single releases,) then we remove it, because then it won't be as bad to other people. But right NOW, I'm sure fans are hysterical still. The last thing we want is this page to be filled with numerous complaints like the Talk:SHINee page.-K-popguardian (talk) 22:58, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@K-popguardian: what fans want is not relevant, this is not a fan page - this seems to be forgotten a lot. If the edits aren’t necessary, and others agree on removal, then there is no need to wait so it “won’t be as bad” for fans. It may sound harsh, but that’s the reality - Wikipedia is not fan-friendly. Alexanderlee (talk) 23:02, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexanderlee: No, no, what I'm saying that his death was a little over a week ago. Some of these details are still new. Keep them until everything dies down because this info could be necessary.-K-popguardian (talk) 23:10, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@K-popguardian: that’s part of my initial point though, from the standpoint of Wikipedia it isn’t necessary for every detail just because they’re true and sourcable. The fact he did or didn’t wear a mask when entering his room isn’t needed, nor what he bought at the store, or a black dog he had a tattoo of, which literally could be anything considering he never explained the meaning of it. A lot of what was removed in Tibbydibby’s draft was trivial and unnecessary information that doesn’t need to be in the article; at least in my opinion and the other editors on this thread. Info being new isn’t a reason to keep it either, this is not a news report. Alexanderlee (talk) 23:27, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I see a lot of it has been removed but I wanted to say I'm in agreement with Alexanderlee that it should be removed and no consideration really needs to be had of what fans want. Wikipedia is just here for facts and not really every little piece of gossip which is what a lot of that detail was. If fans want to read that information, they can do so on many other sites. NZFC(talk) 00:41, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was this just applied without taking into account the changes that occurred during this discussion? The information I added here was completed removed with what appears to be no consideration. xplicit 09:24, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I don't remember this clearly, but that's definitely noteworthy information that should be included. Alexanderlee (talk) 12:26, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Explicit: I've just added this back here, I copied it directly from the edit you made please feel free to alter Alexanderlee (talk) 12:33, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Primary topic?

I notice that several (if not many) editors have been using "[[Kim Jong-hyun]]" to refer to the singer. I often get those notifications whenever they use the link to the dabpage inadvertently. Is the singer more primary than Kim Jong-hyun (sport shooter)? George Ho (talk) 04:56, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, even before his death, I think the singer was the primary topic for name Kim Jong-hyun. Kim Jong-hyun (singer) averaged 824 views per day prior to December 18. Kim Jong-hyun (sport shooter) was averaging four views all of 2017—the highest being 13—and had garnered basically no interest in the western world, and JR (South Korean singer) was created less than 48 hours ago and uses a different title anyway. xplicit 05:07, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SHINee and Jonghyun (Simple English Wikipedia)

I don't know if this is the place to mention, but there is alot of editing to be done on Jonghyun's page on Simple English Wikipedia and SHINee's. It hasn't been updated since 2009 (SHINee's) and Jonghyun's section hasn't really been edited until very recently (to announce he died.) A little help?-K-popguardian (talk) 23:13, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Minor change in Career

Hi everybody! So I've added some information on Jonghyun's time as host of Blue Night radio show. I found an interview which was quite interesting. However, it's in Korean and the only translated version that I could find was a Tumblr post...I've listed both of them as sources. Does it work? Thanks! KS531 (talk) 08:41, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@KS531: The Korean article is fine, sources don't have to be in English. Social media shouldn't be used as a source though, so I've removed the Tumblr source. Alexanderlee (talk) 14:10, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Public Image section

I would like to suggest that the 'public image' section be changed to 'legacy'(maybe move under death sections). Because it describes his role in the South Korean music industry and the impact he had. Thanks! KS531 (talk) 19:58, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have done that since I agree with what you said. CherryPie94 (talk) 08:49, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of Death in Infobox

I do want to ask: Would just stating "Carbon Monoxide Poisoning" be sufficient enough as his cause of death? That is due to the Charcoal Briquettes found in his apartment. But the ruling out of suicide is only circumstantial from all the sources I've read. I do realize there was a suicide letter sent to Dear Cloud's Nine9, and the "let me go" texts to his sister, but unlike Chester Bennington which hanging by a rope is moreso direct, Jonghyun's case is a bit more circumstantial. What do you guys think?

@Tibbydibby: (Sorry for a late response) While not exactly 'direct' as you put it, you don't exactly burn charcoal briquettes in a frying pan by accident, and given the rest of the evidence, such as the notes and text messages, it's a pretty reasonable conclusion to come to. The police's statement is that his death is ruled as suicide, so there's no reason to remove suicide from cause of death Alexanderlee (talk) 12:11, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexanderlee: Thank you for the response! I will for sure leave "Suicide" in the infobox now that you have mentioned it. Tibbydibby (talk) 03:48, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please change Jonghyun dropped out of high school in 10th grade to pursue a music career to Jonghyun went to an all boys middle school and a Christian high school (Mount Zion) before attending Seoul Music High School as a trainee. He dropped out of high school in 10th grade to focus on SHINee and later earned his GED. Post-debut, Jonghyun attended Chungwoon University for his Bachelor’s degree in broadcast music and began attending Myeongji University in 2015 studying for a Master’s degree in film and musical (unsure if completed).

I added reference for Myongji University and for Seoul Music Institute check youtube video named "서울실용음악고등학교 개교10주년_ 샤이니 종현 축하 인터뷰" thats promo video for the school. There are a lot more sources on Korean websites but I don't understand Korean so it would be great if someone was kind enough to find them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.222.180.157 (talk) 16:04, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
