Etymology

Just wanted to remind fellow editors to stop adding information unless you have a proper source to back it up. I removed that Google translation at first, but Im leaving it there for now, I hope someone will add a more reliable source in the future. -A1candidate (talk) 20:57, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed that section since User talk:MarkusGuni didn't provie a source to back up those claims. Feel free to add it back if you can find a reference, but Google translator doesn't count as a reference. -A1candidate (talk) 20:00, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the information yet again. It was reinserted with just the google translation link. The link translates a german word. The rest of the section appears to be the editors personal opinion of what it means. GB fan 10:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GB Fan, you should lean Korean before you are talking about sources. You may add any korean dictionary as source. MarkusGuni (talk) 15:14, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why do I need to learn korean? The only source on that section is a google translation of a german word. Where is the source that says that that "Gwiyomi is an subtile allusion on the German word "Häschen"" or any of the rest of the information you keep adding? GB fan 15:32, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If information is added to an article and someone questions the validity of that information, sources need to be provided. The information is interesting and if we can find sources the information should stay. On the other hand if sources are not available the information will have to go. Information must be sourced, this allows other editors to evaluate the sources themselves if they want. None of the information in the paragraph is sourced and I have not been able to find any sources for any of this information. Please work together to make the best article possible.

Translation

@MarkusGuni I see that you've added the exact same piece of information to the Gwyomi article at the German Wikipedia so Im going to do a translation based on your edit over there, because right now the Etymology section is not making any sense at all.

Translation from de:Gwiyomi:Gwiyomi (귀요미) itself can be broken down into two words: The first word, "Gwi" (귀), means "ear" or "spoon" and is followed by the syllable "yo" (요), which indicates a form of possession. When joined by the second word, "mi" (미), meaning "cuteness", the phrase "Gwiyomi" (귀요미) carries the meaning of a "ear of cuteness" or a "spoon of cuteness". This double entendre is based on the German language where the ear of a rabbit is referred to as a spoon.

"mi" (미) is actually Sino-Korean word meaning "beautiful" (most commonly used as initial jamo of 미녀, beauty), base word is actually adjectival verb 귀엽다 (to be cute). -un suffix makes plain adjective (plain determiner) from root of an adjectival verb (귀여). Replacing final N with M makes noun from plain adjective (귀여운 > 귀여움). It is common in some South Korean dialects that 여 changes to 요 and final 요 changes to 용.

We should have an "Origin" section instead of 'Viral Spread'.

We should have it under the Background section and call the sub heading 'Origin'. The part about other netizens and famous Korean people performing the gesture should be given a brand new section outside background called "In popular culture".Masterpeace3 (talk) 01:36, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
