Talk:Okehampton

message: Since when has Okehampton camp been in the hands of the Marines?  I've never heard it referred to as a Marines facility.  What's the authority for this assertion?  It may be right but it doesn't jibe with my local knowledge.  seglea 17:58, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just checked.  The camp is managed by the Army Training Estate, and though it may be used by the RM, there's no evidence that it is a Marines facility particularly.  I have reverted the edit by an anonymous user that declared it to be so.  seglea 18:04, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: The article is a bit too focused on history for its size (a picture of the Courtenay family arms certainly isn't relevant) so I've removed the image and reduced the size. All the history is very good but very specific - we need more about the industrial age.
Sports section keeps including the names of the manager & where the club trains - this doesn't need to be here at all.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Traditional music of Korea (with lowercase m) (non-admin closure) BegbertBiggs (talk) 20:47, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Music of Korea →  – Current title is ambiguous and potentially confusing. This article is exclusively about music that is categorized as "traditional" today which predates the separation of North and South. Other pages that follow along the lines of "Music of ..." have probably not had a division in recent history and so it makes sense for the music of those countries to have one cohesive article. As can be seen in the talk page and edit history, there has been confusion and additions of contemporary South Korean music, which does not belong in this article. Meanwhile the page is somewhat difficult to find for someone who is looking for information about Korean traditional music and I think it is necessary to have a separate page about that specific subject. Following the pattern of having a "Music of ..." as well as "... Traditional Music" article would be redundant in this case, simply adding "traditional" to the title would solve those issues.

Talk:Naju

message: I was conversing with a friend and was talking about Jeolla's history as a shortened name, and I pondered why it was Jeonna due to Naju's name changing from Raju. The friend (who is from South Korea) insisted that its name was never Raju. I thought it fell under the initial rule, but upon reading it up I don't see this ever occuring with 'a' as a vowel--it's almost an exclusively /j/ thing--nor does the name seem to be Sino-Korean. The name was added in this edit in 2005, but do North Koreans really call it Raju? It's not mentioned on the Korean wikipedia article for Naju either. If they do, is this actually due to the initial rule or is it merely a coincidental difference in pronunciation? - MK (t/c) 07:52, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Nam Sung-yong

message: The Japanese name part looks wrong to me.  The katakana seems to be a Japanese transliteration of the native Korean pronunciation of his name, something like Namu Sun-yon, but the text implies it should be the Japanese name he was made to use, which was just the Japanese pronunciation of the same characters, Shoryu Nan.  These katakana should probably be deleted, or possibly replaced with the katakana for Shoryu Nan (sorry, I don't know katakana well).  Also, in the info box his name is 난승룡, with corresponding transliterations, but this doesn't match his name as given in the page title.  Anybody know why that is? --Reuben 06:38, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  New Symbol 

message: I just reverted back to a version before all of the contact info for travel agencies and tour groups was added.  None of that belongs in Wikipedia.  Please see WP:NOTDIRECTORY for more information.  In addition the section listing all of the details of each area reads like a travel brochure, and has lots of language that is inappropriate for WP.  Our job is to provide factual, reliable, sourced info.  I don't at the moment feel like going and slashing out the ad-speak, as I'd prefer the original editor worked on that.  One thing the original editor must do is add sources for this information--specifically, those that meet the criteria in WP:RS.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here.

thread_title:  Removal of Advertising 

message: I also decided to remove all of the "detailed" info about each of the cities and counties.  Each of those locations already has its own article page, and so any relevant info should go there.  What was included read mostly like an advertisement, in any regard.  Wikipedia should be in neutral point of view, which means no flowery phrases that sound like they came from a travel brochure.  Finally, Wikipedia articles should not have bare links in them.  Any appropriate links belong in the External Links section at the end; for this article, the one external link to the Region's home page is sufficient, and a link to each of the cities/counties homepages can go on each article's pages.

thread_title: Further Edits

message: The article is currently titled "Jeonbuk State", due to a move made by @Incheonlove with the following justification:  .
Respectfully, I'm skeptical of the move for two reasons:
* It goes against WP:NCKO, although granted these are just guidelines and not rules
* It is unlikely to be the WP:COMMONNAME. If you're not familiar with the policy about common name, I strongly encourage you to read that link carefully. For reference, common name is such a powerful policy that it tends to outweigh "official names". Hence why Turkey is the article title for the country, despite the country's official spelling of Türkiye. Similarly, South Korea's official name is the Republic of Korea, but we use South Korea.
I'll wait for a response, then may revert if none in a few days. If you'd like to attempt this move again, please do it in a move discussion; this is not an uncontroversial move. toobigtokale (talk) 02:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and added a request to revert in WP:RMT. Maybe I was a bit bold but from recent sources (published after the name change) such as the Korea Times, Korea Herald, and Yonhap, North Jeolla is still the common name. Dantus21 (talk) 03:43, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Purple

message: Isn't that pink? Skyshiftertalk 02:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Feminism symbol 

message: "In ancient China, purple was obtained not through the Mediterranean mollusc, but purple gromwell. The dye obtained did not easily adhere to fabrics, making purple fabrics expensive. Purple became a fashionable color in the state of Qi (齊, 1046 BC–221 BC) because its ruler, Qin Shi Huang, developed a preference for it. As a result, the price of purple fabric was over five times that of plain fabric. His minister, Guan Zhong (管仲), eventually convinced him to relinquish this preference."
This doesn't have any sources and it's also claiming that Qin Shi Huang, who lived in the 3rd century BCE got advised by someone who lived in the 7th century BCE. It also confuses the state of Qi with the state of Qin. Pinkvenom748 (talk) 23:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

As I have recently come across to editing this page and restructuring it to be more suitable through the help of the Korean page, a lot of the information that Hyunah661992 has provided (and which has been untouched for a long time) is actually inaccurate and fake. Barely any citations were made throughout the page and where there are citations, the user cites social networking sites such as Twitter, tumblr, allkpop, and soompi which are not reliable sources of information. "News" sites like allkpop and soompi sometimes presents inaccurate translations and bias. The user provides a very biased point of view and explicitly has been adding more "controversies" to the page since I have mention this to them.
