**Hi! Help with an article on the English Wikipedia?**
Hi! I was directed here to ask for assistance on an article in the English Wikipedia. The article in question is :en:Busan Gaeseong Middle School murder, which you have on your Wikipedia as 부산 개성중학교 폭행 치사 사건. My biggest issue is that I cannot speak or read any Korean, so I am limited to whatever I can find through Google translate. Can anyone help find sources and fill in the English article with details that I might have missed or might have put in incorrectly? It seems to be pretty notable, so I'd like to try to keep it if I can. Tokyogirl79 (토론) 2013년 5월 24일 (금) 13:28 (KST)

**History of Korean TV dramas**
Hello.  I wrote a "History" section for en:Korean drama.  Later I edited another article only for the edit to be canceled because my sources were considered unreliable.  (Much more about this  here.)  I now know that most of my sources for the "History" section would also be considered unreliable.  Since I don't know Korean, I can't fix this.  It has been suggested that there might be someone here who could find reliable sources.
Please note that although 대한민국의 텔레비전 드라마 is nearly all history, it is not a substitute as is, because it cites no sources at all; I don't know whether that's a priority in Korean Wikipedia, but if it is, it should probably be fixed too.
Anyway, frankly, anyone intelligent who reads Korean could undoubtedly write such a section better than I.  If anyone who knows both languages wants to merge the two sections, I assume the Korean one will dominate.
Thanks for your attention and for any help.

**Wikiproject Erasmus Prize Winners**
Dear fellow wikipedians,
My apologies for using English here, please help translate if you are able. 
Wikipedia has been awarded the Erasmus Prize 2015. This international prize is awarded annually to a person or institution that has made an exceptional contribution to culture, society or social science. The King of the Netherlands will  present the award on 25 November. This will create media attention which will hopefully result in plenty of new volunteers. Prior to the award ceremony we would like to write and improve articles on former Erasmus Prize winners. All 80 former laureates should be notable enough to merit an article.
Please join the project and help us provide our fellow laureates with articles.

Hello. I just thought I'd let you know that the page for 제임스_듀크_메이슨/James Duke Mason was deleted from the English Wikipedia due to lack of notability and self-promotion issues (see ).  He had been successfully inserting promotional references to himself for many years, and I noticed he also had a Korean page when I was cleaning those up.  I don't know what the Korean policies are around notability and promotion, but I don't think it would hurt to give you a head's up. - GretLomborg (토론) 2017년 7월 22일 (토) 06:44 (KST)

**Korean cash coins**
Hello 👋🏻 everyone,
I saw that user Bigsmile20 had translated some work I had done from w:en:Korean mun to the articles 문 (화폐) and 상평통보, I actually wanted to state that the bulk of that information came from Gary Ashkenazy's Primaltrek which he hasn't attributed (which is why both articles still need additional sources for verification despite that source already covering it), so I request of someone to properly attribute the source. Also on Dutch Wikipedia in the article w:nl:Koreaanse mun I added a lot more mint marks that could be inserted into the 상평통보 article, the tables are below:- Qianziwen
Om te kunnen vaststellen door welke ovens de Sangpyeong Tongbo munten werden geslagen, hebben sommige Koreaanse mun-munten speciale munttekens. Om de cijfers 1 tot en met 44 vast te kunnen stellen werden de eerste 44 karakters uit de Qianziwen gebruikt. Dit waren “天地玄黄 宇宙洪荒 日月盈昃 辰宿列張 寒来暑往 秋收冬藏 閏餘成歲 律吕調陽 雲騰致雨 露結為霜 金生麗水“. Hiernaast werden ook andere karakters gebruikt om te kunnen vaststellen van welke oven de Sangpyeong Tongbo munt kwam.- Wu Xing
De Vijf Elementen werden door sommige munthuizen gebruikt als munttekens om te kunnen nagaan uit welke oven deze Sangpyeong Tongbo munten kwamen.- De Tien Hemelse Stengels
De Tien Hemelse Stengels werden gebruikt door munthuizen om ovens van één tot tien te kunnen benoemen.- De Twaalf Aardse Takken
Naast de tien hemelse stengels dragen sommige Sangpyeong Tongbo munten munttekens gebaseerd op de Twaalf Aardse Takken om de ovennummers aan te geven.- Munten met de trigram “☳”
Een klein aantal 2 mun-munten, geslagen door de T'ongyong marinebasis, hebben één van de acht trigrammen aan de rechterkant van de munt, dit is “☳” (Chin) wat donder betekent.- Overige munttekens
Er bestaan naast de karakters hierboven nog een aantal andere munttekens waarvan hun betekenis momenteel onbekend is, deze munttekens zijn:
These are all mint marks from Gary Ashkenazy's Primaltrek that I didn't add to English Wikipedia for copyright © reasons but did add to Dutch Wikipedia because it's then an original translation from my part.
P.S.
There’s an online resource on the numismatic history of Korea for free  here at the Bank of Korea Online Library (warning ⚠: You must be able to read Hanja to use it).
P.P.S.
I have made a list of Korean mun cash coins on Wikimedia Commons and unfortunately most are still missing, if anyone has any of these coins then feel free to upload as much images it them to Wikimedia Commons as possible, of the Sangpyeong Tongbo alone there are over 5000 variants. 😅

Could somebody protect this article please? It has been consistently vandalised by IPs since 2016, and has gone long periods of time without the vandalism being reverted. For example, it was in a vandalised state from 2016 all the way through to 2020. Also, it is a biography of a living person, so leaving it in a vandalised state is damaging to the subject.

**Possibility of original research on "재일조선족"에 대하다 독자 연구 가능성**
Hi everyone. The English "Korean Chinese in Japan" page (previously "Chaoxianzu in Japan") and the Japanese 「在日朝鮮族」 page were made around the same time (2023/10) by 사용자:Strategicasian, who is now globally blocked for abusing multiple accounts to promote a disputed view around 조선족 Chaoxianzu / Korean Chinese (WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Strategicasian/Archive). The Korean page "재일조선족" is shown to have been translated from the Japanese page in the edit summary by 사용자:Strategicasian on 2023/10/17. If you look at old revisions of the English page and the Google Translated version of both the Japanese and Korean pages, they are very similar. Furthermore, it was later found earlier this year, 2024/02/14 by @사용자:Dekimasu, that the English page had both original research and misinformation that was either unsourced and not supported by the source (WP:NOR). While I can't fix the problem myself as a non-Korean speaker, it would be helpful if a bilingual editor could look over Dekimasu's 5 significant edits (-) that day on "Korean Chinese in Japan" and look over the "재일조선족" page to remove the possible misinformation and original research. While not as severe, there are also significant edits on "조선족" and "재한조선족" by 사용자:Strategicasian. Thank you! 삼엽초 (三葉草 SanYehTsao) 2024년 8월 22일 (목) 13:28 (KST)

**Discussion of transcription of Thai text into Hangul**
In English, there are 2 most common sounds of o:
# “o” as in “no” (comparable to ㅗ in Hangul)
# “o” as in “dog” (comparable to ㅓ in Hangul)
However, when Thai names with either sound of “o” got transcribed to Hangul, it often becomes ㅗ. For example, “Nakhon Pathom province” (first “o” sounds like “dog” while the last “o” sounds like “no”) → 나콘빠톰주 (which I think it should've been 나컨빠톰주 instead.)
This, and other strange Hangul transcription of Thai names in the article 방콕 지하철, lead me to believe that a lot of Thai text got transcribed to Hangul  by using their Latin transcription as source. ( :en:Royal Thai General System of Transcription ) And this transcription system is rather goofy as it has a lot of ambiguities. Thus I came to a conclusion that a lot of Thai text in Korean Wikipedia should get re-transcribed from Thai source. (Mainly by page editing and moving.)
But should it really be done? Even if it's more linguistically accurate to change the transcriptions. There are a few potential counter arguments:
# The "linguistically accurate" transcriptions might be less popular. For instance, searching for "나컨빠톰" shows up less results than "나콘빠톰".
# I am merely a Thai native speaker that knows some Korean. Native Korean speakers may found the "linguistically inaccurate" transcriptions more accurate.
Lastly I'd like to state that I do not consider changing the transcription of 방콕 for the time being. Even though it's not "linguistically accurate", but it is clearly the most popular transcription. (Also the Thai (บางกอก) and Latin transcription (Bangkok) of this particular name had always been pronounced differently.)
Cordially,
Jo the fire dragon
