I do not condone nor support any extremist and fringe views relating to these topics. I contribute to wikipedia mainly so I can share my researches on these two topics. I typically try to stay out of the more "politically" charged articles as ultranationalists, whether they be Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Mongolians or Vietnamese, tend to turn any form of civilized debate into an online crap slinging contest.
I generally work alone as my schedule here on wikipedia is quite sporadic and I dislike being drawn into a "tribe" and being expected to agree with everything the tribe says no matter how stupid it is. I do however contact reliable individuals to get more info on topics I am unfamiliar with.
I'm still looking for a reliable Korean contact that can give me more info on the Goguryeo heavy armor that was used when they broke their alliance with the Cao Wei (曹魏) Kingdom.
Must tidy up the Chinese Mythology section when I have time.
