message: Didn't Gojong conclude his monarchical career as the head of the "Korean Empire" (대한제국)?  If so, then it seems like the article's former location, at Gojong of Korea, is preferable.  Am I missing something? -- Visviva 16:38, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it partly because there were more links to "of Joseon" than to "of Korea", so it was largely a practical matter (though it brought the entry into line with the articles that I'd been editing; if I'd been doing them in reverse order, I might have decided differently...).

thread_title: Korea or Joseon?

message: I added the POV tag because the article was plainly badly one sided and needs revising by someone that knows more about the subject.  Was somebody trying to pull some trick or something? they said the Empress was raped 9 years after her article says she died?

message: Why does this page have his title in it? Most royalty pages are [Name] of [Country], EG. Gojong of Korea. What's different here? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 23:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

message: There is wide speculation about Gojong was poisoned by Japanese, we should add something about this.--Korsentry 04:23, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poisoned 

message: For example, this statement appears here:
"During Heungseon Daewongun's reign, faction politics, Seowon and power wielded by the Andong Kim clan completely disappeared."
But on the Seowon page the following appears:
"...finally, in 1871, he ordered all but a handful closed."
So, which is it....all, or some?  
There is no reference cited for this quote:
One representative warned forebodingly of Japanese ambitions in Asia: "The United States does not realize what Japan's policy in the Far East is and what it portends for the American people. The Japanese adopted a policy that in the end will give her complete control over commerce and industry in the Far East. Japan is bitter against the United States and against Great Britain. If the United States does not watch Japan closely she will force the Americans and the English out of the Far East."
Meanwhile, this sort of style is unacceptable....
"The empress had attempted to counter Japanese interference in Korea and was considering turning to Russia or China for support. After the assassination of his consort.
[New section] Reach a climax of Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea
Meanwhile, Japanese was victory in the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895)..."
Yeah, that style won't fly in polite company....this is wrong in so many ways, but "Japanese was victory"?  Now what exactly does that mean?
And wasn't Goro acquitted by the court at Hiroshima?  So, why does the following assert positively that:
"In 1895, Empress Myeongseong was assassinated by Japanese agents. The Japanese minister to Korea, Miura Goro orchestrated the plot against her."
Shouldn't that be alleged, or whatever other weasel wording is available?
Finally, there appears to be little substance in this article.  Kojong tap-danced between his father, the ever-present yangban conservatism and factionalism, the newly awoken nationalist movement (after 1890, or thereabouts) and yet still managed to propose an essentially constitutional monarchy in place of the recently dethroned regent, a yangban-dominated oligarchy, and the tradition of an absolute monarchy as exercised by the early Yi dynasty monarch.
So, was he a visionary or a lunatic?

This is generally after short infoboxes, but before long ones." (emphasis mine)  For this article, the Korean text appears in the first paragraph of the lede section, and the  is too long to show the box on the same screen if it is placed after the infobox. --Kusunose 00:23, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Article still missing a lot of info as of time of writing. He's a really important figure in Korean history, and deserves much more attention.
In short term, the lead could use info about his legacy in Korea. I'm not personally familiar with him in detail, otherwise I'd write it. toobigtokale (talk) 09:14, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
