message: I am wondering if the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was ever referred to as "Korea Shanghai" ???  Has anyone come across an abbreviated usage of this type??  Hmortar (talk) 08:01, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Shanghai had never been a part or whole of Korea. Korea had never been a part or whole of Shanghai. The fact is merely that some Koreans had resided there.  Therefore, the abbreviation of "Korea Shanghai" is not only inappropriate, but also misleading.  A question was raised somewhere below on the difference of flags in the present and the past, implying that they are never been continuous nor successive government. --Wavethesecond (talk) 04:03, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

message: I just wondering about the use of recent South Korean flag for this page. If I'm not wrong, the recent design was only regulated following the establishment of the ROK in 1948 and the Taegeukgi had many variant design before. 
As showed at this pictures:

The flag of the Provisional Government rather had a different yin-yang and trigrams position than the recent Taegeukgi.
Any idea? --FirstStooge (talk) 13:36, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

*Tentative oppose, since the People's Republic of Korea was also a "Korean Provisional Government." As was the Provisional People's Committee for North Korea. Dekimasuよ! 02:17, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: I took a shot at a preliminary copyedit of this article, focusing mostly on the "Transition of Power" section. I was fairly limited by the fact that this section appears to be a pretty rough translation from either Korean or Chinese. I tried to correct the grammar and standardize name formatting, as well as rephrasing any poorly-translated sections that I felt confident in knowing the meaning of.
In the process, I removed some plaintext citation notes that were probably carried over from whichever version of Wikipedia the text was translated from. This suggests that there are sources available for some of the article's material that could be added back in by somebody who is able to find the sources on the version the translation is based on and add them back in with proper formatting. Since I don't speak Korean or Chinese, I'm not able to do this, and I thought removing the footnotes from the text would be better than leaving them in with no references section to refer to.
Anyone wishing to put these citations back in could look at the prior revision to my edits, which has the footnotes intact.
Since the article is still in fairly rough shape from its initial translation I think I'll leave the  tag up. It could still use some help, particularly from someone who can read the Korean/Chinese articles and use them to clean this version up.
I'm still new to editing so please let me know if I've overstepped in any way. I'll be watching this page. TitanAndromeda (talk) 17:04, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

message: Who were the guerilla and armed groups that served the provisional government before they reorganized into Korean Liberation Army. Koreanidentity10000 (talk) 22:30, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Off the top of my head, the Korean Patriotic Organization, Kim Won-bong's Heroic Corps and Korean Volunteer Corps, and followers of Ji Cheong-cheon. There were like over 400 soldiers in the army though, so I'm definitely missing some sources of men. toobigtokale (talk) 06:08, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Armed forces of the provisional government 

message: Hi, before my recent edit the infobox said that the KPG's successor was the USAMGIK. I disagreed with this characterization and changed its successor to SK. I could be wrong about this though, so open to discussion.
Reasoning: the central US govt never recognized the KPG, so it's not like they received any 'mandate' from it. This is especially true considering the KPG never had any concrete de facto jurisdiction over the peninsula or its people.
On the other hand, South Korea retroactively acknowledged the KPG as its predecessor (which I'd argue is mostly ceremonial; again KPG had no de facto jurisdiction). So if anything, its successor is SK exclusively because SK said so. Perhaps if they too rejected the KPG the KPG would have had no successor, like some of the other Korean provisional governments that fizzled away earlier.
Admittedly I'm still learning about the KPG myself, so could be wrong. toobigtokale (talk) 09:05, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

message: I've read somewhere that the provisional government has several departments that preserves Korean culture and history during the occupation and a Military Affairs department that coordinates guerilla groups. Is that right? Koreanidentity10000 (talk) 13:57, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about the former but I know the latter is true. The military affairs department worked to coordinate with the rebels in Manchuria toobigtokale (talk) 22:30, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
