@Seefooddiet: Thanks for your expediency and for bringing my attention to the Romanization discourse. I've made a few minor changes to the article but at this point, I feel there is nothing left to address before promotion. Thank you and congratulations!

Well-written

I would merge paragraphs 1 and 2 as well as 3 and 4 to avoid having one-sentence paragraphs in the lead.

Notes

Akulenko claims > Akulenko writes (IAW MOS:CLAIM)

Verifiable

The first two Korean sources' titles, as well source 20, have not been translated into English.
Some of the authors' names have been transliterated; some have not. Since this is an article intended for English-language readers, I would lean towards having them all transliterated. Same with some of the website names, if possible.
20 and 29 aren't marked as being in Korean.

Spot check

Neutrality, broadness, and stability

Discussion

Thank you for the feedback! I implemented all but one of the suggested changes. Exception was transliterating author/website names. In MOS:KO, after a discussion we decided to not mandate transliteration for either. This was because of how begrudgingly complicated WP:KOREANNAME and WP:NCKO are and because many people have attempted ad-hoc romanizations that are somewhat harmful (impossible to determine original Hangul). Actual understanding of Korean romanization systems is really poor globally, including in both Koreas. While I know the guidelines and can romanize these names, I wanted to establish a precedent that it's ok to leave orig Hangul for now, per MOS:KO. I don't feel confident myself in what's best to do, but I figure it's better to have fewer asks than more in uncertainty. seefooddiet (talk) 07:06, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
