Dear Fellow Wikipedia Editors: I understand the concern that articles about North Korea are currently stub articles and I am taking appropriate action to solve the problem. North Korea is a secretive state, some information about govenrment officials, companies, and events is known from official North Korean media, other information has been reported in foreign media. So, any North Korean article will likely be stub class until a major change in the government. I am trying to use libary research, instead of just Google, to expand the encyopledia about a largly unknown country. I have found a source to expand the the North Korean articles at the Global Resources Center at the Gelman Library at George Washington University libaray. If someone makes the paper newspaper in DPRK, then that person is noteworthy. For example, much of the information is from unnamed south korean analysts reported in western news sources. Even , Ri Sol-ju the wife of Kim Jong-un , is lacking definative information because the DPRK sources are scant. Please give editors time to flesh out the articles. I am seeking consensus to increase understanding that stub articles about North Korea my be all that is possible. Please discuss. Geraldshields11 (talk) 23:55, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-sensical paragraph

[edit]

The article says the following:

"...in this capacity, he assumed the functions of de facto head of state after Kim Il-sung's death in 1994, as the post of President of the DPRK was never reassigned; however, actual power was held by Kim Jong-il."

In what way, was Yang the de facto head of state? Wouldn't you rather say that Kim Jong-il was the de facto head of state? --Inc (talk) 14:23, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
