Korean films

Hi! I see that you have edited a lot of articles for Korean films. Do you speak Korean? If you do, I was wondering if you perhaps could help me with the article for Lee Chang-dong'sPoetryby translating the plot section from the film's article on theKorean Wikipedia?I think the article has the potential to reach a fairly high class on thequality scale,but as the film only has been released in Korea I won't be able to do it on my own. If you can't or don't want to, I still want to thanks you for all the other improvements on articles related to Korean cinema!Smetanahue(talk)07:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you did it, thanks!Smetanahue(talk)19:39, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edit flag

It seems that all your edits are being marked as"minor"and that doesn't always seem to be appropriate. Do you have that set as default in your setting?Kenilworth Terrace(talk)18:15, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest I am not fully sure what constitutes a "minor edit" versus a "major edit". Please do tell me what the difference is.Rickinasia(talk)08:34, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AtHelp:Minor editthe summary is

Checking the minor edit box signifies that the current and previous versions differ only superficially (typographical corrections, etc.), in a way that no editor would be expected to regard as disputable.
Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if the edit concerns a single word, and it is improper to mark such an edit as minor.

HTH.Kenilworth Terrace(talk)17:28, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I had the idea that "major" and "minor" was about the quantity of words as opposed to content. Thanks again:)Rickinasia(talk)17:31, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, wastrue.To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed tofalsein the next few days. This doesnotrequire any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents ofWP:MINOR,and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, thenthis discussionwill give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing:) Editing on behalf ofUser:Jarry1250,LivingBot(talk)18:57, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why I should request a move though. I am changing the English spelling to match that of the official metro system's mapsOperator of Line 1-4 Operator of Line 5-8.Have there been edit wars over this before?₪RicknAsia₪15:08, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think thatWikipedia:Requested movesis proper so that many users' opinions can congregate. I hope you understand where I'm coming from when I say this. I give you one question for this problem. Jamsil Station is officially "Jamsil(Songpa-gu Office) Station". Do you want to move Jamsil Station to the official name like "Jongno 3(sam)-ga Station"?Sawol(talk)18:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If it's proper than I would love to do it. I really don't want to break procedure or start edit wars. Good question. I didn't know Jamsil had two names. My goal for name changes is to change the English name to whatever the English subway maps say provided by the operators of the subway. So while I have no problem if someone changes "Jamsil Station" to "Jamsil(Songpa-gu Office) Station" since the sign at the station say it, I don't have a burning drive to change it unless the main maps change. While I should also say I've seen signs posted at several stations these days saying they are needing to update the huge maps on the walls. I think I should wait to see what kind of changes are made there, check the online maps also made by the operators, and accordingly follow through with name change request(s) like you mentioned.₪RicknAsia₪03:20, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your good intentions. I don't want to start edit wars, either. I think that it is nice to use common names as article titlesWP:COMMONNAME.Sawol(talk)12:56, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seoul Metropolitan Subway name

User:Frysun is trying to use an incorrect and unofficial term that has no consensus among the official subway operators, subway maps and general public. The most accurate term is "Seoul Metropolitan Subway" - Seoul Metro's English map says "Metro lines in Seoul Metropolitan Area". There are no two system as he claims - It is one unified system. Could you put the name back to "Seoul Metropolitan Subway" as it has always been? There is also a discussion going on at "List of metro systems" article about this you can join. Thank you.Camins(talk)15:13, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the admin for some reason removed our request to move the page back.Camins(talk)06:48, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Frysun has changed the title of theSeoul Metropolitan Subwayarticle once again to call it a "railway", ignoring previous consensus and this should be reverted back.

Hanja

Hi Rickinasia,

Just curious about how you go about finding the Hanja for corresponding Hangeul?

Thanks in advance! Rystheguy(talk)00:10, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rystheguy,

The easiest way is also the one that took me the longest to find; the language list on the left side of Wikipedia pages. If a Korean page exists for it they frequently post the Hanja in the intro to their article.

Another option is to check a dictionary either on my phone or pocket electronic one. But since I am on the computer and I want a free option, I use Naver's dictionary;[2].Type in the Korean (or English) word, search, and scroll down to the English definition as there are sometimes several definitions. The Hangul and Hanja are next to it. A great example is 전차; it can mean "tank" and also "tram/streetcar" among other definations and the hanja will be different.

For MR romanizations and sometimes hanja I use this site[3]but since there is no English translation it's not easy to pull the correct hanja.

Thanks for asking and for all your editing work. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Take care~₪RicknAsia₪01:17, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks! And thank you for adding the hanja to theJun Won-tchackarticle!Rystheguy(talk)05:26, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hangul Linktext

Hi Rickinasia,

I appreciate the feedback you left on my userpage. Thanks to you too for all of your edits, you sure have been busy!

I'm sorry for deleting some of thelinktext templatesfor thehangulsyllables. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, so I may not completely understand the function of linktext.

I was thinking that the reason for linking to theWictionarywas to show the meaning of individual characters or words. For example, linkinghanjais useful because every individual character has meaning. As for Hangul, each individual syllable doesn't necessarily have meaning, or if it does, it quite often doesn't relate to the meaning of the word it's a part of. Similar to having the word "Canada" and linking to "Can", "a" or "da". An example I found was the filmSecret.The hangul for this film's title is 시크릿, but that's just a transliteration of the English word "Secret" and each individual syllable (시, 크, 릿) has no meaning on its own.

I just want to make it clear that I'm not saying at all that you're wrong. I'm just saying that I may not quite understand the purpose for linktext. If I'm wrong in my assumptions, please let me know by clarifying how linktext should be used.

Thank you!

Film templates

As you are probably aware we have undertaken a merge on the Film templates. There were 15 parameters in total, with 13 of them relating to titles. You most likely know all those went into{{Film name}},and should still display exactly the same as they did on the articles.

Korean admissions have been integrated into "Box office", and will show up when there is no worldwide figure to supersede it: I chose to do it that way to make it consistent with American articles that use the US gross when the worldwide figure is not available. In the future, just add the admissions to the box office field; it is not metric specific so can accommodate a gross figure or admissions, since it is all box office.

The only parameter to my knowledge that has been dropped is "art director" from the Japanese template, since the Film project has a consensus to not add it to the infobox. I may have overlooked something since there were a lot of parameters, but if I have missed anything, or something is not working right feel free to leave me a message.Betty Logan(talk)07:33, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Betty, thank you for doing the coding for the merge and checking the updates like a hawk. It takes a lot of time and I appreciate your work. I haven't had a chance to look over the merge results closely so I haven't replied on the main forum. Since the old templates are being retired, what should be done with all the pages using those templates? Will a bot automatically convert them or should editors go over them and change them manually?

True. I will probably do that for the future. Thanks.₪RicknAsia₪01:03, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seoul Subway on List of metro systems

There are attempts from clearly Chinese users to split the Seoul Subway, which I have argued is against consensus to keep it as one system, but the discussion onList of metro systemsis being outnumbered by unfair views placed upon from these users.

Seoul Subway & List of metro systems, Part Deux

Rick, thanks for your reply at theList of metro systems Talk page.I have a question for you: what would you consider to be the total route length, and the total number of stations, for the following -Korail's "metro" lines:Bundang Line, Suin Line, plus Ilsan Line (Korail part of Line 3) & Gwacheon Line + Ansan Line (Korail parts of Line 4)? (Adjusting for the fact that the Suin Line and the Ansan line apparently share some of the same route/tracks...) Also, what reference or references would tend to cite for the stats for these lines? Thanks in advance. --IJBall(talk)17:55, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doubtful that the official websites from each line has total length written. It would have to be 3rd party sources, such as the FRDB (frdb.wo.to) checking their completed construction page, search for the last opened section for each line and it will probably give you the total line length as well. Next option is to check the Korean language Wiki pages. Like in the UK, there are clubs/groups for metro and as such their Wiki pages should be updates/have good links. As for the overlap (as Suin and Line 4 share some rail), take total route length and minus the distance from station X to station Y using the graphs on each line's page. It's not perfect but I think that is the closest possible.₪RicknAsia₪23:46, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You for your replay. I agree that the Wikipedia page for Seoul rail networks should be together. However this seems to be causing a lot of confusion. Perhaps a clause can be inserted in the intro that Seoul metro subway is actually a metropolitan rail system made up of rapid transit, light metro, and commuter rail lines. Additional changes like you said system # km, (subway #km, LRT #km, etc) and the tables formatted as such like a Transit Type column or a group of tables by type. What do you think?Terramorphous(talk)20:13, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree with all of these suggestions, esp. a Transit 'Type' column - I put one of those columns in when I put in a 'Lines' table for theMetro Rail (Los Angeles County)system article, for example. --IJBall(talk)20:53, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm cool with both comments. It shows the whole network as one system (important) and gives the 'type' of rail for those that would find it of interest. If you think there would be debate with what 'type' it is I suggest you but the debate on the talk page of each line or at least make a note that it is under discussion and reference so people can easily find where the debate is. Best~₪RicknAsia₪23:46, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:S-line

Hi, and thank you foryour contributionsto Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to giveTemplate:S-line/SMS left/Sinbundang Linea different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, intoTemplate:S-line/SMS left/Shinbundang Line.This is known as a "cut-and-pastemove ", and it is undesirable because it splits thepage history,which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to bemovedto a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account isfour days old and has ten edits,you should be able to move an article yourself using the"Move" tabat the top of the page (the tab may behidden in a dropdown menufor you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates aredirectfrom the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions atrequested movesto have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them atWikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen.Thank you.Sawol(talk)02:19, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hotchkiss and staplers

Hello Rick, I've removed your section about staplers from theHotchkiss_et_Ciearticle. SeeTalk:Hotchkiss_et_Cie#Staplers_--_different_company.The Hotchkiss company that made military equipment is not the same as the Hotchkiss company that made staplers sold in Japan and Korea. In English, this is laid out inJim Breen's web page about the etymology of ホッチキス.In Japanese, this is also described in the relevant Japanese WP article, atja:ステープラー# danh xưng.

Hello@Eirikr:,Thanks for reading that WP page and removing the incorrect content. I've read the links you gave and I'll talk with a Japanese speaking co-worker about the relevant Japanese WP article as Google Translate only gets me so far and I want to understand the details better. I also appreciate the note on my user talk page as well as I rarely check the Watchlist section. Have a good one~₪RicknAsia₪02:12, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I probably spent more time on this than I should have, but here's a translation of the relevant section.:)

Name
[edit]

In Japan, staplers are often called either "hotchkiss" or "hochkiss" as the trademark has genericized, and this moniker is also used in South Korea.^[1]NHK previously called these "staplers", but has since standardized on "hochkiss".^[2]
The "hotchkiss" name in Japan derives from the Hotchkiss No. 1 model stapler from the E. H. Hotchkiss Company, first imported from the US by Itōki Trading (now Itoki Corporation) in 1903 (Meiji36).^[3]The E. H. Hotchkiss Company was founded in 1895 as the Jones Manufacturing Company, renamed as the E. H. Hotchkiss Company in 1897. The "Hotchkiss" name was taken from George Hotchkiss and his son Eli Hubbell Hotchkiss, two of the original founders of the Jones Manufacturing Company.^[4]The spread of the "Hotchkiss" name in South Korean was likely due to theannexation of Korea.
The derivation of the "Hotchkiss" name [for staplers] has been described by multiple popular theories, including thatHotchkiss et CiefounderBenjamin B. Hotchkissinvented it based on the structure of the machine gun,^[3]or that Eli Hubbell Hotchkiss was Benjamin's younger brother and Eli invented [the stapler].^[5]
These popular theories have even been covered on television.^[3]In 1989 (Heisei 1), theNippon TVprogramTV Zine: Journeys in Riddle-ologyhad a segment visiting Benjamin B. Hotchkiss's hometown inConnecticutto look into the etymology of "Hotchkiss", but they did not go into any documentary evidence. Then in 1994 (Heisei 6) onFuji TVprogramNaruhodo! The World,the presenters put forth the explanation that Benjamin Hotchkiss's younger brother Eli Hubbell Hotchkiss invented the stapler and founded the E. H. Hotchkiss Company.
Jim Breeninvestigated these popular theories, and while he could find no direct link between Benjamin Hotchkiss and the stapler, he did find that the father-and-son Hotchkisses who sold staplers and Benjamin Hotchkiss of machine gun history were both from Connecticut, and he apparently found some testimony (albeit uncertain) that they may have been relatives, leaving open the question of blood relations.^[6]
This theory that Benjamin Hotchkiss designed the stapler based on the structure of the machine gun has been prevalent in South Korea as well for some time.^[7]However, when theNational Institute of Korean Languageresearched this, it became clear that there was no proof that Benjamin Hotchkiss made the stapler. TheStandard Korean Language Dictionaryhad defined "Hotchkiss" as, "Alternative name for" stapler ". Brand name arising from the surname of the US inventor and stapler designer." However, as a result of this research, this definition was updated to, "A tool to fasten documents and other items using pins in the shape of aㄷ.The term derives from a US brand name. "^[7]

Thank you for your contributions!

Hello I'm Uconhe. You must have seen me editting the RAON article about the romanization of the director's name. I thank you for your contributions! First, you have made numerous contributions mainly about Korea's science institutes, including KAIST and IBS. Because of them, this field of Wikipedia became much specific and developed. Also, You've taken many pictures of science institutes' buildings, and of some COOL scientists. Wikipedia would have lacked so many pictures without yours, because there are few people interested in this area, and - most importantly - it is almost impossible to get 'own work' pictures of scientists!

I'm a Korean Wikipedian and a student (pretty younger than you think, maybe) interested in this science stuff, and living in Daejeon. I recently took pictures of RAON, after persuading my dad to go there^^ Please see the article and my pictures! I'll try to become more interested in it, and do more edits and take more pictures like you. And ironically, many articles about science institues in Korean Wikipedia tend to have less contents than English one's. So I will also try to expand the contents of Korean Wikipedia, just likeko:라온 (중이온가속기).

		The Science Barnstar
		Thank you for your contributions in the field of Korea's science! --Uconhe^T _C 16:07, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Uconhe! Thank you for your kind words. I'm enjoying doing something new and the scientists have been receptive to me asking to take their picture. The city of Daejeon has a lot of interesting things and I'm lucky to be here. I have seen your edits and am very impressed by your work toko:라온 (중이온가속기)!You greatly expanded it! Thank you for your work, the barnstar, and your message! Age is not important, only an interest and a passion ^^₪RicknAsia₪08:45, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding changes in S. Korea subway related articles

I found you on the project Korea page. Do these edits look good to you?

Hopefully, I've got these diffs correctly formatted. The editor isn't communicating. It doesn't seem to match what I found onhttps://www.dtro.or.kr/open_content_new/eng/index.php?mnu_puid=1&mnu_uid=2Thanks 12:39, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

The editor was indeffed. I presume that was a good call? CheersAdakiko(talk)19:41, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- The edits count as vandalism. Reverting the changes and blocking the person was a good call.₪RicknAsia₪

Not speaking nor reading any Korean was a bit of a problem. The blocking admin might have an infinitely better grasp of Korean! Thanks for the feedback. CheersAdakiko(talk)06:31, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was profanity. Either the admin knows good Korean or used a translation site like Google Translate or Papago. Regardless, reverting and blocking were good responses. Cheers~₪RicknAsia₪

Ha! I did feed a few words to google translate, but didn't see anything suggesting profanity. Any tips for the future? CheersAdakiko(talk)07:56, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you are unclear then asking someone else for input is safer then reverting. One of the nice things is a lot of these pages have a page in Korean as well, so a copy, search in page, paste is a quick way to check for names. This person also changed the image of all three pages to be the logo of the main search engine. Other than that I am unsure as I don't seek a out vandalism edits:) Best~₪RicknAsia₪

I reverted as the editor changed long-standing names w/o a citation change and as the names the editor used did not match the English version of the subway websites. Lack of edit summaries and communication were additional hints. Otherwise, I would have left the changes in place. CheersAdakiko(talk)08:32, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	InJuly 2015around15.5%of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As ofJuly 2023,19.61%of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap.

Linktext on Hangul names

Hi, I just wanted to poll your thoughts on something. I'm a little skeptical that linktexts are useful on people's Hangul names at all. Even if we're not splitting the names by individual character (a practice that's beenfirmly prohibited now), in my experience given names often don't really show up on Wiktionary in the first place, and there's often not much of a definition that could be given for many names beyond "a name". Similarly, for Western people, wiktionary linking their names is virtually never done. I don't see why Korean people would be an exception to that trend.toobigtokale(talk)08:28, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After some investigation, I discovered that Rickinasia is actually one of the main culprits of the single-syllable linktext disaster that eventually got spread to 6300+ pages. He started this in December 2012 (e.g.호|남|선). After that, he started doing this to railway stations (고|속|터|미|널|역,올|림|픽|공|원|역,압|구|정|로|데|오|역,etc.), bridges (성|수|대|교,올|림|픽|대|교,당|산|철|교,etc.), cities (원|주|시,의|정|부|시,동|두|천|시,etc.), personal names (봉|준|호,김|지|운,최|동|훈,etc.), movies (사|마|리|아,아|리|랑,아|름|답|다,etc.), universities (이|화|여|자|대|학|교,한|국|과|학|기|술|원 & 카|이|스|트,한|국 외|국|어 대|학|교,etc.), etc. A lot of edits he did in early 2013 are like this. In 2015, he started adding single-syllable linktext to mountains (지|리|산,호|룡|곡|산,바|위|산,etc.).

He also added single-character linktext to other languages/scripts (e.g.に|ほ|ん|か|い & Я|п|о|н|с|к|о|е м|о|р|е).

It looks like he did fix some of them himself years later (for example,올|림|픽|대|교 → 올림픽|대교), but he should have never added single-syllable links in the first place.172.56.232.132(talk)07:21, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do appreciate his adding of MR and RR to things, but agree that overlinking may have occurred. Not a major issue, just wanted to make him aware of potential concerns.toobigtokale(talk)07:47, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I rarely know about rule changes until after the voting is done, as was this example in the Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style, as well as the August#Deleting_ "Hangul_syllable" _entries in Wiktionary in 2021. Early on I made a lot of mistakes breaking up 도|서|관 and unfortunately never went back to fix them. I have been a lot more careful to link for whole words like 도서관 but still have made individual links for names, but inconsistant with things like 이|은|수 vs 이|은수.

I added links for names with the rational being people could be curious to see what information exists for parts of someone's name. I am totally cool with no longer linking names of peoples where every "cluster" has it's own link, example 박|미|영. When I started adding the hangul links, Wiktionary contents were sparse but I saw new entries coming and so it made sense at the time to provide links as content either exists or will be added in the future. Regarding loanwords, as loanwords end up in printed and purchased dictionaries, I figured the same would appear in Wiktionary as well.

The only point I disagree on is the concept that there aren't standardized names within the Korean language. Yes, there is a certain amount of mixing and matching, but there are common names and they can change over time, much like Abigail has come, gone, and come back within North American usage. I point toThe Grace Lee Projectas a great example with not only the given name but the family name being the same as so many other people that the director tried to find out what is a "normal" Grace Lee. That in mind, there are examples of given names in Wikitionary, examplehttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Johnandhttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%EC%9D%80%ED%98%9C.

Again, I am cool with the decision and I'll abide by it. Confirmation though, for someone named 이은혜, in which there are entries for both 이 and 은혜 in Wiktionary, is it not allowed to link to 이|은혜?₪RicknAsia₪09:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To your question, it's not explicitly prohibited to do so; my post was to let you know I don't think it's good practice. Some names would probably be in Wiktionary, but I'd wager >95% of them won't be.

Relevant MOS snippets:

MOS:OVERLINKA good question to ask yourself is whether reading the article you're about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from.

Note that interest in names is a tertiary interest, not directly related to the article's subject.

MOS:SEAOFBLUEWhen possible, do not place links next to each other, to avoid appearing like a single link.

This is triggered when you link both the family and given names. The family name links I'm especially skeptical of. Most Koreans have the same few surnames. I don't know if we learn much from linking them repeatedly.toobigtokale(talk)09:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

홍|길동 is not allowed as well. No linktext in personal names. I explicitly wrote this from the beginning.

6. For personal names (including pseudonyms such as pen names, stage names, etc.), no links should be added.
This includes not just가|나|다but also other forms of segmentations such as가|나다and가나|다,and also the unsegmented가나다.That is, do not add any kind of link to a personal name.
(explanation following)

[...]

* For personal names (including pseudonyms such as pen names, stage names, etc.), do not add any links.

In the case of 은혜 as a personal name,

people don't even have to know what the meaning of a personal name is.
the meaning of a name does not describe a person; it does not help understand what kind of person they are.
the intended meaning may not always be "grace"; for example,Yoo Eun-hae(유은혜( du ngân huệ )) uses a different hanja (the hanja for the common noun 은혜 is ân huệ ).

Most importantly, a link to Wiktionary should be addedonlywhen a dictionary definition isreallyneeded. It looks like you have been adding linktext to pretty much any Korean hangul text, but this is actually overlinking.172.56.232.30(talk)10:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops I misread. Yes it's prohibited.toobigtokale(talk)11:38, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had bitten my tongue, thinking "if these two don't know, then I feel much better" ^^ I'll just skip on names. Thanks again for letting me know!₪RicknAsia₪01:04, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know what I am talking about. I started that discussion. My intent from the beginning was clearly "do not add any kind of link to a personal name (including 가|나다)", and I wrote the reason there (please read "6. For personal names...", especially "2. Even when the meaning of a personal name is absolutely semantically transparent..." ). I am not being unreasonable.

(And if my intent was to disallow only 가|나|다 (but allow 가|나다) for personal names, I would not have written a point specifically about personal names.)172.56.232.199(talk)04:00, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please tone it down. They already agreed to not continue doing it, what more could they possibly say? There's no reason for you to take this personally. This issue is resolved, let's just move on.toobigtokale(talk)04:04, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hanja names in infobox

Hello,

I noticed your involvement in WikiProject Korea and wanted to ask your opinion on a recent discussion (here) regarding Hanja names in BLPs. Specifically, I saw that the template [citation needed] was added to the Hanja names in articles likeChangbin,Han,Bang Chan,Felix,andLee Know(I saw this template on these pages I do not if there are other articles or not). As Hanja names are considered minimally harmful do we need to add sources to include this in articles?

Given the challenges in sourcing Hanja spellings, do you think it would be better to remove them from the infobox if reliable citations aren't available? Or is there a preferred way to address this that balances accuracy with verifiability? Your insight would be greatly appreciated.RDWolfgang(talk)14:01, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
