message: Only Emperors/Kings of Goryeo, Joseon and Great Han (Korean Empire) has their own temple names in Korea, so King/Emperor Dongmyeong had not his temple name. Dongmyeong is posthumous name. —  13:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dongmyeong is not his [[temple name]]

message: Who is the dipwad, halfwit who inserted information from the Jumong MBC TV series???
ITS DRAMA. INCREDIBLY ELABORATED. Can't you see it is a historical fiction?
There are VERY FEW records of Jumong. His life is almost a mystery, and I was SHOCKED to find a Korean editor shape a Wikipedia article off a MBC drama. 
The story writer of this drama has even admitted its shortage of a true factual storyline.
Wikipedia is not a place to incorporate fictional drama into. I believe we have gone over this stone age issue with the debate over today's gaming portrayal of the Turtle Ship. 
There is no more we can add to the article at this point, unless one of us is able to find some feasible evidence. Oyo321 06:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  grrrr 

message: Jumong is a much more common name than Dongmyungsungwang, and the name itself is very hard for readers who don't know Korean or aren't familiar with Korean history. Also, as far as coherence with name of articles on other kings of Goguryeo is concerned, I'd say Jumong is a special case, considering that he is the founder and his story also incorporates many mythical elements. If anything, he was an ancestral "god" much like Dangun, and his story a mythology, not an actual account of history. Cydevil 13:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dongmyongsungwang is actually more common; Jumong has just been reintroduced with the gracious help of MBCs now ended drama "Jumong." Oyo321 02:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Current article name "Dongmyeongseong of Goguryeo" is inappropriate becasue 'Seoung' means greatness and describe king which is next character. So his name can say "Dongmyeong" or "Dongmyeong the great king" or "The Great King Dongmyeong" or just simple "King Dongmyeong (of Goguryeo)". This problem comes from misunderstanding of Chinese grammar. --Alf 03:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

text: You are WRONG. It is "The Bright(明) Holy(聖) King(王) of the East(東)". You are messing up the name with different king with title Dongmyeong of Buyeo. Roll it back. Kadrun (talk) 02:18, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I think King Dongmyung of Goguryeo is a good name since Dongmyungseongwang is left out and "wang" is Korean for king. Good friend100 00:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renaming 

message: Someone tried to be funny and wrote, "King Jumong went to Palestine and died." I don't know who wrote such bs, but let's make sure nothing like that ever happens again. This is wikipedia, a source of accurate information. NOT a site of parody or stupidity.

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: I Wonder:
since a Korean  TV series (Jumong) that has been recently finished is the reason for so many of the updates to this article, and those that are subsequent, as I see many are related to the series itself, and seem to be fact. Are there any valid outside resources that can relate that the changes made have a modicum of veracity? I personally don't think that a TV series should be used as a historical reference unless in fact, it in itself, has been made in such a way and referenced to its original sources, as fact.

thread_title:  Many updates to this article! 

message: Who is the freakin retard (And disgrace for a Korean) That uses the freakin Jumong Tv series as a freakin reference, for this article??? same goes for the biryu, onjo, and yuri articles that were mesd up by that retard... The tv show was stupid, retarded, repetitive, fake, and ethnocentric-nationalistic. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARTISTIC LICENSE AND REAL HISTORY!
Those who edit wikipedia for only their sheer and stupid sense of pride for Korea should leave!    [I apologize in advance for any tears that are about to be shed]

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I went through all the sources but none of them equate Habaek to Hebo, the god of the Yellow River. The only thing of note about Hebo is a mention in [one] of the sources that the name was originally used in Chinese mythology.
The sources that were added by the editor(s) equating Habaek to Hebo do not equate Habaek to Hebo.
Here is a translation of a passage from the Encyclopedia of Korean Folk Culture:
:하백은 강의 신을 지칭하는 보통명사이다. 중국신화에서 하백은 황하의 신이지만, <주몽신화>에 등장하는 하백은 압록강의 신이다.
:Habaek is a common noun to call a river god. The Habaek of Chinese mythology is the god of the Yellow River, but the Habaek from the Jumong legend is the god of the Amnok River.
The sources also mention an alternate interpretation of Habaek, which I'll be including in my edit. Bamnamu (talk) 22:20, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding Habaek 

message: I have been digging information seriously for while, and found a HUGE rabbit hole, thus I had to jump in and see how far this wonderland will go. If someone sees mistake on pronunciation, please correct. Also, please do not try to change name of the places quickly, since we are covering the history part (see it as 2000+ years ago). Everyone is welcome to bring the sources, but please be neutral as possible. For example, everybody was considered as tributary or under rule in Chinese dynasty point of view.Kadrun (talk) 10:09, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  I'm going into the rabbit hole 

message: Chumo is the name used by Goguryeo officially. The highest title, the Holy, was recorded from the Tombstone of Mo Duru , who was a noble during Gwanggaeto period and died during Jansu. BTW, this is one of proof that last name Mo (牟) among Korean existed prior to naturalization of 牟慶 during fall of Northern Song. In the tomb, he explains his ancestor(s) came from Northern Buyeo with Chumo, and has been serving Goguryeo from generation to generation since then. What will be the influence of 牟 family outside of Goguryeo and Buyeo? He was appointed as the ambassador (大使者) to Northern Buyeo, where his ancestor and Chumo came from, by Gwanggaeto, which he thought as a honor. Anyone want to find any relation between Korean (or Buyeo) 牟, Chinese 牟, and Japanese 牟 clan, if there is any? Kadrun (talk) 10:09, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Real Name 

message: All kingdoms that are related to Buyeo shares similar stories. Samguk Sagi version is the mixture of every version altogether.Kadrun (talk) 03:30, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Similar myths everywhere 

message: According to Notes on History of the Three Kingdoms (三國志集解), it describes that the reason Xuantu moved to northwest of old Goguryeo in B.C. 82 is due to New Goguryeo, led by Jumong, attacked it. So, Chumo was alive in BC 82, and was capable of create nation and led army against Chinese Han. Old Goguryeo eh? How old really is Goguryeo now? Conventional record of Samguk Sagi regarding Chumo is total BS, as well as other records. History books are full of fantasy.Kadrun (talk) 09:34, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chumo real age 

message: It is officially recognized in Samguk Sagi, telling that there is another variant of the myth. Most of the storyline is the same, but details and late part is very different. If this storyline is true (one of two has to be false), it may lead to the alternative story of Onjo, killing both Soseono and Biryu in order to take over Baekje from Biryu who was actually the first king of Baekje. Kadrun (talk) 03:55, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alternative story 

message: His original Goguryeo name, variously transcribed as "Jumong", "Jungmo", or "Domo", translated to "good archer". The first component can be reconstructed as "tywoh-(:둏; 'be good')".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.230.224.218 (talk) 08:50, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Chumo of Goguryeo →  – Per WP:COMMONNAME. While it is definitely possible that Chumo might have been the "historically correct" and WP:OFFICIALNAME, it is definitely not the most recognizable one. Dongmyeong, also translated as Tongmyong, is the more common name. It is also WP:CONSISTENT with the naming of the other Korean monarchs who are known by their posthumous names rather than their personal names. We have articles titled Gogukcheon of Goguryeo and Gyeongmun of Silla not Ku-bu of Goguryeo nor Ŭng-nyŏm of Silla.
