Talk:President of South Korea

message: Please, don't put hyphen in the name. I think it needs to be discussed, but current official romanization doesn't allow - in name usually. The new romanization isn't yet widespread, and there are many old style romanizations, here and there. But I believe I should insist using the new rules for new entries of Korean names.
:You have a good point, but it's worth noting that even the official website of Cheong Wa Dae hyphenates the names.     That's more than "here and there."  Aside from which, I think there are sound reasons for hyphenating most Korean multi-syllabic words, since the syllable boundaries are often unclear to non-Korean-speakers.

message: The tables are a nice idea, but I think there are some problems... For one thing, do we really need the presidents of the Provisional Government in this article?  Whatever their status, they certainly weren't the presidents of South Korea, which after all is the subject of the article... I would think a simple link to the PGROK article would suffice... Also, do we need the Korean names of the political parties?  Seems like that information is best included in specific articles on the parties (where such exist)... Any thoughts?  -- Visviva 02:34, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: the provisional gov't is also listed in Rulers of Korea. is the provisional gov't specifically viewed as the predecessor to the south korean gov't, & not north korea? otherwise, i think we can delete here. also, the "rulers" list includes gov't name (or is that administration name), e.g. 3rd republic, participatory government, which should be moved or copied, from there to here, i think, since this is the more specific article.

message: "If the National Assembly votes against the President's decisions, it will be declared void immediately." This is ambiguous. Does it mean the President's decision will be annulled, or that that National Assembly's vote will be invalid? Riyehn (talk) 00:34, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I understand it to mean the National Assembly annuls presidential decrees. But I wonder if simple majority is enough? CuriousOliver (talk) 16:09, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Park is still President of South Korea, until either she resigns or is removed from office. Until then, she should be kept in the infobox. GoodDay (talk) 17:27, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox 

message: I note that at present the ordering of the presidents is such that where an individual served more than one terms without interruptions (i.e. Rhee, Park, Chun) they are counted as having served once. I know this is how the presidencies are counted in the United States, but in Korea the official position appears to be to count the presidential terms rather than the uninterrupted service. Thus, while Moon is currently listed as the 12th President in our list, he is always referred to as the 19th President in Korea. I am not aware of any Korean sources that list Park as the third president, Chun as the fifth president, etc. 
Given the current presentation appears to be in contrary to the official position of the Government of South Korea, I am changing the numbering of the Presidents to count the terms rather than the uninterrupted service, of course pending further discussions by other users including any official source supporting the numbering the presidents by uninterrupted service. Let me know if you have any feedback or contrary views. Sydneyphoenix (talk) 00:40, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've implemented a compromise for those article intros & infoboxes. IMHO, it will best explain the situation to less familiar readers. GoodDay (talk) 13:48, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: , . This is a problem we run into time and time again with ordinals in infobox and their various, ridiculously uneven applications across Wikipedia. What is the substantive point in including any of them in the box if they can be so easily misconstrued? The notion of "regional" editing style might sort of work when it comes to the syntax and prose of the article itself, but since the readership is indisputably international, there has to be some baseline consistency to a fact/data infobox. The "list of presidents/PMs/leaders/governors/etc of X" articles can deal with the ordinals but they are so, so, so much more trouble than the meager worth they bring by being included.

replies: text: I've no problem with deleting all numberings (from the infoboxes & intros) from all the South Korean presidents bios. Just make sure it's done for all of them. GoodDay (talk) 18:30, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously this is a larger point to be made at whatever relevant Wikiproject, but I am talking about all articles. Which I know will face the biggest headwind from obstinate American editors who want to preserve the cult of the Presidency, but I really do wish they would all go away. Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:33, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: For the sake of consistency and to avoid further edit warring, I'm going to go ahead and remove the ordinals pending further discussion. A discussion regarding all such articles would probably be most appropriate at WT:POLITICS or maybe even the Village Pump. clpo13(talk) 18:37, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

message: I am not very familiar with Korean presidents or politics, but wouldn't acting presidents of a country merit their own pages? I am not informed enough to do so, but with the depth of knowledge I've seen on this site, I am sure it can be done.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:74E5:9600:A982:F110:8D32:1A5B (talk) 21:40, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
