Korean War

Good job your additions with references are quite good, keep it up. We always need users to Be Bold!!!!!!! If you ever need any help feel free to contact me on my talk page. Sadads (talk) 18:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!!!

Non-English

Syngmung, I encourage you to continue working on the Korean War article. However, using non-English references is a problem. Please look at WP:NONENG for Wikipedia policy. In your most recent edit, you say 60,000 ROK soldiers died of starvation. But the reference you use does not support this claim. Can you provide an English language reference for this (and other) material? Thank you. --S. Rich 04:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

See last paragraph in this source.

양곡과 피복 등을 빼돌려 약 9만여명이 추위와 배고픔,질병 등으로 사망했다.

Foods and clothes were embezzled, about 90,000 people died by hunger, cold and disease.

Could you use google translate? Translation is not well. Or ask korean readers.

Thank you for advice. English source are limited about non US related incidents. See the Korean War, the page devote enormous space to No Gun Ri Massacre, however the massacre is a single incident. There are many incident, but English source don't report other incidents except for bodo league which also US related one. I think English media are tendentious.

You are most certainly welcome. True, the machine translations do not do well. And Wikipedia policy does not address that problem. And even Korean speaking editors make mistakes in their English translations. So Wiki does not rely on "self-publishing", which occurs when a single person seeks to translate. Also, relying on the ja or ko versions of Wikipedia is a mistake. See [1]. Best regards. --S. Rich 14:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Syngmung-shi -- Wikipedia says: "Where English translations of non-English material are unavailable, editors may supply their own, subject to consensus, with the original posted alongside or in a footnote. Copyright restrictions permitting, translations published by reliable sources are preferred to those provided by Wikipedians." [2] Your recent edits do not follow this guideline. Also, you made changes which were not minor, but labeled them as minor.--S. Rich 15:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I hope I was a help. tell me if there is anything else I can do to help you. (Aerowikipedian (talk) 03:14, 22 July 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Aerowikipedian, Thank you very much!! Srich32977, This edition seems minor editon, I edited little. However, your sedulous efforts to improve the articles and me are very good. Thank you, the articles improved in a short time.--Syngmung (talk) 14:15, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

All of the Vietnam-related articles that you've created, it would be better if you renamed those articles to the names with Vietnamese diacritical marks. (e.g.: Go Dai massacre to Gò Dài massacre, Ha My massacre to Hà Mỹ massacre). 207.233.67.8 (talk) 21:55, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know proper Vietnamese diacritical marks. If you know the proper marks, you would rename the articles.--Syngmung (talk) 15:54, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2012 China anti-Japanese demonstrations

Regarding your change from "Senkaku Islands" to "Senkaku/Diaoyu", please note that this issue has been discussed at great length on Wikipedia, so much so that we eventually had to have the Arbitration Committee intervene. After a community wide RfC, it was decided that "Senkaku Islands" is, in fact, the English name of the islands as used in sources. Furthermore, An uninvolved admin, based on the sanctions put in place by Arbcom, said that the matter may not even be discussed again until 2013, because it was wasting the community's time and every single time it was raised, the result was to use the SI name. Please don't change that name back again. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:15, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, imformation. I did not want to edit war, so I edited both name. but already settled. ok.--Syngmung (talk) 17:07, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks

Please remember that making personal attacks as you did here and here is unacceptable per WP:NPA. Unsubstantiated claims of nationalist sentiment and vandalism are personal attacks. Thanks, My very best wishes (talk) 14:13, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The first link is not personal attack, cos Rape of Nanking is no relation to prostitute for the US military, but you raised. So I replied what you could understand your own comment. The second link is the true, you distorted the sourced contents.[3] The source clarifys the official name. If I left the distorted sourced contents, the edition kept vandalizing the sentence and went against the source. You should think what your doing before you edit the pages.--Syngmung (talk) 15:57, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Main purpose of this notice was to simply explain you what counts a personal attack on wikipedia. Rape of Nanking and US military are completely irrelevant. The problem in the first diff was your claim that I have anti-Japanese bias. I do not have one. As about vandalism, please check the policy. Please do not make such claims about any contributors because that will bring you a trouble. Happy editing, My very best wishes (talk) 17:02, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I understand. Happy editing, too!--Syngmung (talk) 00:26, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Yoon Chang-jung

On 18 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Yoon Chang-jung, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the sexual harassment allegations surrounding Korean official Yoon Chang-jung overshadowed Korean president Park Geun-hye's first visit to the USA? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Yoon Chang-jung. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for June 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rape during the liberation of France, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Free Press (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:11, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Eh doesn't afraid of anyone (talk) 14:33, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

June 2013

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for resuming edit warring after expiration of last block and canvassing, as you did at Rape during the liberation of France. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bbb23 (talk) 18:20, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Syngmung (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have already been blocked as edit war. It's a good experience. However, this time block is unhappy. Because I havent got into unreasonable edit war since the first block. But the SPA raised my former issues, which were not the this time issue. And before this time block, the issue was talking in ANI, but there was no sufficient discussions by third persons.[4] Besides, the related article contents have been raised by historians and medias for years, not only a single historian view in 2013. But some users are arguing as only a single historian view. It is sad, people dont read the sources, but approve some users OR comments. See Fabrice Virgili(2002) Shorn Women: Gender and Punishment in Liberation France, Alice Kaplan (2005) The Interpreter, Guardian (2007), J. Robert Lilly (2007) Taken by Force: Rape and American GIs in Europe in World War II, BBC 2009,William Hitchcock (2009). The Bitter Road to Freedom: A New History of the Liberation of Europe, Olivier Wieviorka (2010) Normandy: From the Landings to the Liberation of Paris. About published book in 2013,Mary Louise Roberts (2013) there is a huge media reports which are reliable review, because many journalists review from their professional eyes. See New York Times, Agence France-Presse, Spiegel, Associated Newspapers, CBS news, Guardian.--Syngmung (talk) 01:58, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:29, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Note to any passing admins: This block was imposed for edit warring AND canvassing. The above unblock request doesn't address the canvassing at all, nor does it acknowledge the continued flagrant edit warring on Rape during the liberation of France. It should also be noted that the "SPA" (I'm not a SPA, but rather a kettle, and the above user who has done nothing for the last few weeks but add references to rape and prostitution to inappropriate forums is nothing other than a pot) raised these "former issues" at ANI for the purpose of discussing a topic ban, NOT a block. I did not request the block, which Bbb23 applied independently based on the evidence I provided. Also, it might be noted that the English prose Syngmung has been adding to articles is very poor: I have no problem whatsoever with non-native speakers editing English Wikipedia, but those edits generally need to be tidied up by good-faith editors later, and when there is this kind of OR/SYNTH/POV-pushing going on, it is unfair to expect other editors to tidy up the grammar and not ask "What the hell is this text even doing here? The sources don't back it up...". Eh doesn't afraid of anyone (talk) 03:06, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Syngmung's edits (as I outlined at ANI already) clearly indicate that he/she has not actually read Roberts, as he/she has persisted in linking a blurb from a tertiary source. No one other than Syngmung has been engaging in OR, as well. Eh doesn't afraid of anyone (talk) 03:10, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Topic ban

You have been indefinitely topic banned from editing any pages related to rape, U.S. military personnel, or U.S. military bases, broadly construed. Please see Wikipedia:Editing restrictions for details.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:14, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question about TRCK

Hello, Syngmung. Sorry to see that you've run into trouble here. I hope it doesn't prevent your editing in other areas of Wikipedia.

I have a question about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Korea: did the commission issue a final report in 2010 as they had planned? I haven't found any evidence of it yet. (I became interested when I read the On This Day item for June 28 about the Bodo League massacres.) Thanks. --108.45.72.196 (talk) 18:22, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I don't know when they have issued their final report. But I know their activity have been restricted and their works ended in June 2010.[5][6] The research was over, thus the commission cannot help the victims family moreover.[7]Syngmung (talk) 11:22, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

You commented as disruptive editing. What is the disruptive editing? Many users recovered my edition, but only one user is deleting. I don't edited US servicemen bad act, they are not to be blamed by their report No.49. Read the report No.49.[8] No one think the edition become accusation of US servicemen.

Decline reason:

Your topic ban is for any edit related to rape, U.S. military personnel, or U.S. military bases, broadly construed. Your editing the comfort women article was a breach of that ban. PhilKnight (talk) 16:43, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Phong Ni Phong Nut and Chae Myung Shin article

Please review the sources, especially in terms of Hankyurae. They frequently misinterpret their primary sources. Their articles clearly contradict what the US military reports said. There was no confirmation that the US inspector confirmed the massacre; in fact the investigation claimed that they cannot confirm if the ROKMC truly commited the massacre.
