Some of the information I gathered for these pages was from the Korean websites I translated using Google Translate. I need to know if I properly translated them right. I also need help with the way I put citations on these pages. I also need more information, references, and citations for the Japanese Occupation of Gyeongbokgung Palace article.

Hello, I've been translating sources for the Se-rim_Moon article and found this source [1], where the woman was appointed as an Andtree Angel. I can't figure out what that is, it appears to be some sort of charitable organization, she's a spokesperson for it? If anyone can locate a substantial article about her, can you please share it with me (most I find only comment on photos she's posted to her instagram and comment on what she's wearing).

Also, I found a few mentioning she's won an award, [2], does it carry any importance? I couldn't find anything about the awards in English. Thank you! Oaktree b (talk) 02:42, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello WikiProject Korea:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

I am working on taking Phaethon (roller coaster) to GA and I'm having trouble finding archived online sources for the "History" section. Does anyone here know an Internet Archive-like website that contains archived Korean news websites and/or newspapers? Thanks, #prodraxis ^connect 05:21, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Naver News aggregates online news stories going back to the 90s. Here's a search for Phaeton + Gyeongju World in Korean. If you're looking for older print articles, the Naver News Library has scans of newspapers from the 1920s to 1999, but the interface makes it more difficult to translate the text if you don't read Korean. Here's a search for Gyeongju World in case you're interested though. Hope this helps! Lenoresm (talk) 02:14, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(FYI, I can read and speak Korean) Sorry to say this but I have unsuccessfully tried using Naver News before making this post to find details about Phaethon's opening and the events leading up to it in the past..... it was quite difficult to find details using Naver News alone. Naver News Library does look like a helpful resource for researching Korea related stuff though. I might use Naver News Library in the future to improve Gyeongju World, Everland and other Korean theme park articles though. #prodraxis ^connect 02:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone in South Korea take pictures for the Ddaetgol Village article? It's in Ansan. Trynna spread awareness of South Korea's immigrant communities, and images go a long way. I've scraped all my usual sources to see if there's any pictures with an appropriate license, but there's not many pictures of the place in the first place. toobigtokale (talk) 13:11, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Toobigtokale Good news: I live here. Well, not exactly there, but in this town. I'll take care of this eventually. Bad news: I just need to find a good time for a bike or bus ride, which sadly these days is more difficult then it was before. Please remind me about this if I forget.

That said, as someone who is somewhat local, I have minor concerns about this article's accuracy. As in, it is roughly correct that this area of Ansan has many foreigners, including Koryo-saram, but the location of the "village" (effectively just a minor neighbourhood, few blocks) is likely too limited. In this area - which for me is the wider Ansan station area, see also Wongok-dong which your article links to but vice versa - there are many non-Western foreigners (also Korean-Chinese). What I am saying is that I am not sure if what you write about shouldn't be merged to Wongok-dong, and how accurate this is. I'll ask some local Koryo-saram I know (and hey, maybe I can ask them for a photo too!).

(Side note: actually there is a also small enclabe of Russian-speaking Koryo-saram next to my workplace around the ERICA campus of the Hanyang university, that I can photograph anytime easily - there are Koryo-saram bakeries and restaurants there, with cyryllic signs on the street).

There are many of my older photos from Ansan on Commons, but I can't locate anything from that exact area (in fact, I can't find my Ansan station photos there...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:34, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense, thanks for giving the article a look through. If you can take those misc photographs of Koryo-saram in Ansan, please do. I may write about the Koryo-saram population in Ansan as a whole, so I may use them.

Actually, maybe I should just write an article called "Koryo-saram in Ansan"; do you think that's better? Of course the other foreign population matters too, but for now I'm trying to write on what I know. I actually don't know all that much about Korean Chinese people so I want to do more reading first before I start writing a lot about them. toobigtokale (talk) 04:51, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Toobigtokale Since I haven't done a lit review, I don't know what would be a good focus. I have lived in Ansan for a decade now, but I am sad to say my knowledge of the local setting is... somewhat random, partially due to my still very limited Korean. I can certainly help with some photography, at least. What is the address of that "three-floored Koryo-saram community center"? Ditto for "Koryoin Cafe Ugolok/고려인 카페 우갈록" (I can't find the latter even when searching for Korean name in Naver Maps). For the record, there are plenty of Koryo-saram shops (bakeries, restaurants, etc.) in Ansan. That said, a lot of the folks frequenting and running them are emigrants for the "stans" (folks from Uzbekistan, Kazachstan, etc.) - I am not sure if all of them are "Koryo-saram". They do seem to speak Russian much more then Korean (and their cafes will run Russian TV channels, not Korean). It's really a fascinating community (Ansan in general) and I hope we can look for more sources - or that at least I can read more of your research on this. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:36, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Community center (안산시 고려인문화센터): 37 Jigok-ro 6-gil, alternatively 988-3 Seonbu-dong, Danwon-gu.

For cafe, I'm not sure this still exists, and if it does it's only run by volunteers on the weekends according to a FB post in 2019. 45 Sincheon-ro Danwon-gu.

For an alternate landmark, MARINA Bakery is apparently pretty well known and liked by the South Korean community. MARINA has two locations on google maps; I think it's moved but not sure which is current. It's either in the same building as the cafe, or at 19 Bubu-ro 8-gil, Danwon-gu.

I'll definitely be reading more into Ansan. I only learned it was so immigrant-dense while researching for this article. I'm interested in immigrants in South Korea in general so this topic fits my interest pretty neatly.

On another note for article notability, I think there's decent coverage of the enclave. This village has at least a few dozen articles specifically talking about it (possibly hundreds since the 2010s), and it's recognized by the local government, although its exact boundaries are diffuse. But reading into the criteria for noteworthiness on human settlements it does seem like it'll come down to consensus on whether this merits its own article. I kinda like having an article for it because it gives more attention specifically to a group that could benefit from it. It also is one of two hubs for Koryo-saram in the country. Also worth noting that in 2016 the area reportedly was 90% Koryo-saram; maybe that's changed recently. toobigtokale (talk) 06:55, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a Google map link to an Uzbek restaurant in the other area I know there are many Russian speakers in Ansan. I assume that the Uzbek people who run it are Koryo-saram... I wonder if this other area I am familiar with is notable? PS. Link cannot be saved due to wiki spam filters, sigh.

Possibly; I'll look into it. On the other hand I just spotted the toilet-shaped museum "Mr. Toilet House" on the map; if you ever go to that let me know lol maybe worth an article

This article on such an important topic is awful. How did we let this happen? Korea-related articles that are not about pop culture, sports, and war are truly in a rough state. toobigtokale (talk) 14:44, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to help with this topic, but I will need to do a lot of research, since this is something on my "I want to learn about this" list rather than "I know something about it". As for your second question, I fear that Korean topics on en wiki are edited primarily by fans of K-pop, and we lack someone interested in more serious topics and active enough to help in those areas :( For example, I'd love to write Korean science fiction article, but sources are lacking - see also [3]. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:22, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I found some blogs with photos and acceptable licenses [4] [5] [6]. You'll have to be careful about uploading them on Commons due to freedom of panorama and derivative work concerns. ✗plicit 12:32, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Explicit: Yeah, I will definately consider freedom of panorama/copyright laws before uploading to Commons. Just so I know, is it OK if I do upload these files to Wikipedia if I cannot to Commons or will that also be a copyvio? #prodraxis ^connect 12:35, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Photos of buildings can be uploaded here on Wikipedia and tagged with {{FoP-USonly|South Korea}}. I'm afraid that photos of sculptures, characters, and complex art designs wouldn't be allowed on either project.

I'm one of the few media file specialists that is an admin both here and Commons, so if there are photos in particular you have questions about, I'll be glad to offer my advice. ✗plicit 12:43, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Explicit Interesting. Can be rescue some photos deleted from Commons by moving them to en wiki? For example, we are about to loose most if not all images for Statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and Statue of King Sejong (Gwanghwamun) (including some of mine...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:53, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: The English Wikipedia is bound by FOP laws of the United States, so copyrighted sculptures are still considered non-free here. In the articles you mentioned above, only a single non-free photo would be justified by policy. Unfortunately, there are no tools that allows transfers from Commons to language projects, so they must be uploaded manually with proper attribution. ✗plicit 01:39, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Explicit: I have uploaded File:Korea_Job_World_Children's_Experience_Area.png. Thoughts? #prodraxis ^connect 01:55, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Prodraxis: I have exported the image to Commons. The truck is a utilitarian object. Any copyrighted design is secondary and falls into de minimis territory. If you would prefer to err on the side of caution and upload these locally first, that is perfectly fine. ✗plicit 14:34, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Explicit Ah, right, I forgot that US FOP does not apply to sculptures. Fair use is all we can do then? :( _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:55, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: Sadly, unless South Korea changes its FOP laws, that's the only option available to us. ✗plicit 14:34, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I am very interested in learning what are the Korean Wikipedians (their WMF chapter?) doing about this problem? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:27, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a Korean fantasy novel. Sadly, the article fails WP:GNG (just a lenghty plot summary) and the Korean article does not appear to better (just shorter). Can anyone help to rescue it from deletion? Korean Wiki states (without a source) that "It is promoted as a model of Korean fantasy ", ". It has a total sales record of over 3 million copies both domestically and internationally." and that it "has now been translated and published in Japan, Taiwan, and the People's Republic of China, gaining popularity in many Asian countries" (possible, it has ja and zh wiki articles). I think it now has an English translation too, although I can't see much reception ([7], [8] - some info but from the publisher? Intereview with the author. This seems like a notable book (series) but I think sources to rescue this exist in Korean (or Chinese/Japanese...) rather than English. @Cunard _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:09, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I disagree, but looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Korea#Article_assessment, only 3 articles are at GA+ class, and most are at C or below. At C-class, Yi Sun-sin represents the 'average' level here. We have a lot of work to do - missing articles to be written, and existing ones to be improved.

I've been trying to shine spotlights on issues with articles people are likely to care about in general; I know there are other big issues with Korea-related articles but I feel people are likely to care about this one and fix it toobigtokale (talk) 14:21, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear all. In my opinion, sourcing issues should be the priority. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yi_Sun-sin&oldid=1184272416 for an evaluation. None of the usual "usuals" is used. A large part of the so called references aren't even fully written... and therefore they aren't even existing. Many sources are quoted for a single factoid and not used for anything else. The model seems to be: write something about what you misundertood from a TV-series and grep Google for finding some backup. For example, the VANK YSS site contains a large page describing the modern days' sites about YSS... and should have been used for a section of the wp article. Another example: using the Archeologia blog only to prove Left+Right isn't a proof of competence. Good luck to anyone trying to fix such a mess ! Pldx1 (talk) 11:39, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping you'd fix the mess :/. I know it's a chunk of work, but I turned this into this and it was in a much worse state than the Yi article.

It's a really important job; hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of people would read your work. It would significantly affect how the world sees Korea, please give it a shot. I would if I had more expertise, but I'm trying to limit my scope to modern Korea because that's what I have a background in. toobigtokale (talk) 23:06, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hello. Currently, it seems to be used in the English Wikipedia without distinguishing between Koreans in Japan and Japanese people of Korean. These two are different concepts; Koreans in Japan have Korean nationality, and Japanese people of Korean descent have Japanese nationality.

In 1945, Korea was liberated from Japan, and all Koreans lost their Japanese nationality due to the San Francisco Treaty. Among those people, those who could not return to Korea and remained in Japan became Koreans in Japan. On January 29, 1952, the Korean and Japanese governments discussed these issues, and the contents included '1. 'Both Korea and Japan recognize that Koreans in Japan are citizens of the Republic of Korea and not of Japan.(1. 한일 양국은 재일한국인이 대한민국 국민이며 일본 국민이 아님을 승인한다.)'[9]

Additionally, upon inquiring with an official of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Korea, they responded that Koreans residing in Japan are citizens of the Republic of Korea under the Constitution.[10]

Koreans in Japan are special permanent residents active in Japan and their nationality is Korean. Because they are not Japanese citizens, there are restrictions on things like suffrage, which leads to social problems in Japan. If they acquire Japanese nationality, they are no longer Koreans in Japan, but Japanese people of Korean descent. There is no source at all for the article that some Koreans in Japan included people who became Japanese, and this story itself cannot be found in Korea.

To summarize because the article is long, Koreans in Japan are a special case due to the Japanese colonial period.

Most of these people were born and live in Japan, so they are misunderstood as Japanese, but in terms of nationality, they are Korean.[11]

I created a draft a while ago Draft:Korean influence on Chinese culture and I realized I do not know enough about this topic to actually make the article, but I am posting it here to see if any of you feel like you would want to take over it.
