I have noticed that many English-language articles on North Korean cities cite population estimates from 1991. However, many of the Korean-language pages for the same cities appear to (I don't read Korean) provide figures from 2008 that are often significantly different from the 1991 figures. Will someone with Korean language skills please ascertain the validity of the figures on the Korean pages and update the English pages accordingly?

Is there some existing guideline/discussion relevant to what to do about ambiguity for cases like Talk:Cha Seung Baek? Please don't just go there and give opinion, looking for relevant existing guideline or previous discussion and precedent please. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:52, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm involved in the article Lair of King Tongmyong's Unicorn. An issue that has come up in the DYK nomination is the spelling of Tongmyong/Dongmyeong. As I know absolutely nothing about Romanization of Korean names, can you all provide some help and guidance? Thank you, LadyofShalott 01:39, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an expert in Korean nor romanization, but as per MOS:KO#Romanization, I believe the romanization of the article should move to the Revised Romanization system as the topics do not specifically deal with the North Korean context, but rather folklore. I'll make the necessary changes to the article and you may revert them if you wish.

Also, I believe the "unicorn" in the article should be moved to it's actual identity of the "Qilin" as they are not the same creature, nor do they carry the same connotations. For clarity, I think it's appropriate to describe the Qilin in the article as a "Chinese unicorn", like the Qilin is described in its own article.

Due to the topics in the above comments, I also feel the article should also be moved to "Lair of King Dongmyeong's Qilin", but I will let you take care of that as an article move is much more difficult to undo. Michaelcomella (talk) 16:17, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond moving the article and changing the associated intro text, everything should be done (However, I would like it if another Korean WikiProject editor would look over my changes). I created an issue on the Talk Page about the Unicorn/Qilin issue. Michaelcomella (talk) 18:42, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening! I am originally from WikiProject Philippines. And I would like to offer help to WikiProject Korea by transliterating cities, towns, and provinces of the Philippines into Hangul so as to aid Korean Wikipedians who are interested in creating, editing, and expanding articles that are related to the Philippines. I hope for the immediate response. Thanks! - Merrick Lee, 23:47 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Please, let's put a map of Korea (North, South, the peninsula -- what-ever is appropriate) on every city and other locale article about Korea. At present, most or all of them only have province maps. We cannot assume that our readers know where any particular province is. Take a look at, e.g., the article on Chicago: it shows Illinois in the US as well as Chicago in Illinois (and a third, intermediary map). We need to do the same for Korea. Maybe some-one can make a template that some-how gets linked into the province map each time.Kdammers (talk) 09:49, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese POV editors are attempting to delete/merge the entire article on the Northeast Project(동북공정) with Goguryeo Controversies, which I dare say in the absence of participation from neutral or Korean editors has dilapidated to a biased article. While Goguryeo Controversies is another matter, I believe the first thing to do is for the WikiProject Korea to turn its attention to the Northeast Project and the attempt of Chinese POV editors from destroying it. The Northeast Project is an important subject matter which has been a turning point in Korean strategic stance and diplomacy, and still the subject is widely covered in the news media and widely discussed in academic papers.

One of the editors involved in Blood theory in Korea and Northeast Project has recently made an article on Korean nationalist historiography, which suffers from multiple issues such as Korean history and "superiority". Cydevil38 (talk) 02:19, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article about Choi Namson has the following incomplete text " and his later contributions that were perceived by some nationalists." Could some-one fix it so that it says what/how he was perceived? Kdammers (talk) 04:13, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not qualified to fix this but here is the correct link: Choe Nam-seon Michaelcomella (talk) 14:27, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have initiated a discussion on the Park Chanyeol talk page regarding his notability, and as a possible merge target to Exo (band), which can be found here. I would appreciate if this WikiProject could look over the article and give their opinion on the matter. Thank you. — ξ^xplicit 02:40, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I've popped in from Wikiproject Dogs to see if anyone here has any sources for this dog breed! I myself can't find any anywhere in english, so I was going to put the article up for deletion; however if there is, in fact, information on this breed, I figured your group would be the ones who knew of it. Figured I'd ask! --TKK ^{bark !} 15:47, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could anyone who can read Korean 1) check the Korean version of this article and see if there are any references, and 2) check for any other sources that might exist? The article was created by a serial socker, whose primary goal seems to be to support some sort of Korean political party (the account was originally blocked for adding links to that party across many Korean sites), so I'm not really able to just assume good faith that anything in the article (even the existence of the person) is accurate. Thanks! Qwyrxian (talk) 22:13, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Moon Mason page was deleted by an administrator in February 2010.

I have created a New Moon Mason article for submission that is being rejected because in the Administrators opinion Moon Mason is not a notable enough actor.

Can any interested editors give their opinion on the Administrators talk page here User_talk:Bwilkins#Request_to_undelete_Moon_Mason — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philiashasspots (talk • contribs) 02:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

트랜스포머 프라임 (Transformers: Prime) 문서에 '한국어 녹음에서 나카다이 미코(Miko Nakadai. 설정상 일본 국적자)가 성씨 없이 미나로 개명되었고 국적에 대한 모든 언급이 삭제되었다. 다만 EBS의 케이블/위성/IPTV 자매 채널인 EBS English에서 방송한 영어 녹음은 영향을 받지 않았다.'는 취지의 내용을 넣었습니다. 특히 (처음에는 한국 국적으로 바꾸었다가) 최종 완성본에서 국적에 대한 언급이 없어졌다고 미나를 맡은 성우 이소영씨가 개인 블로그에 직접 설명했다고 강조하려 했는데요, 제가 과연 문장을 제대로 쓴 건 지 모르겠습니다.

I can't unambiguously identify this as a sneaky vandalism or gross incompetence, so ask experts to cope with it. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:13, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please assist in the peer review for Gakhwangjeon Hall, a National Treasure at the temple of Hwaeomsa. Some fresh pairs of eyes would be helpful in improving this article so that it one day might reach FA status. Is something missing? Is it too detailed? Do you have photos? For your interest I would be happy to assist in other articles. Thank you.Waygugin (talk) 13:45, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. There are presently a large number of incoming links to the disambiguation page, Democratic Party (South Korea) (see incoming links). Please help fix these links so that they point to the intended articles. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:57, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
