Talk:Battle of Myeongnyang

message: Although it is minor detail, the usage of the chain is questioned by Korean naval academy history professor Lee Min-Woong. He maintains that Myeongnyang has too strong current to install the such things, and the literature that mention the chain was Kim Uk-Choo's diary, which is considered to have too many exaggeration to be a reliable source.

thread_title:  Disputes about usage of chain 

message: The language is very biased and "un-encyclopedic". Is this a translation issue? It seems to be effecting a lot of the Korean entries in Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.26.140.138 (talk) 00:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biased Language 

message: I have had Dr. Eric Niderost, professor of History at Chabot College and the author of several Admiral Yi articles written in Military Heritage magazine and Osprey Military Publications, read and review my work.  He attests to its accuracy.  I respectfully ask anyone else to please notify me next time they completely go half-cocked and change my entries.  It's a pain to come back and fix them.  -- WangKon936 4:50, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Validity of WangKon936's Rewritten Article 

message: Okay... I'm upset.  Which nationalist changed my article and made it more inaccurate?  Someone added "Bae Seol" as one of the commanders in the battle.  However, that guy flaked out and deserted the day BEFORE the battle.  -- WangKon936 2:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unnecessary Rewrites and Additions of Historical Inaccuracies 

message: Admiral Yi in his war diary gives the date of the battle as the 9th moon, 16th day, based on the Chinese lunar calendar.  Converted to the western solar calendar, that would be October 26th.  Most people read 9th month, 16th day in Yi's war diary and do a direct solar conversion, which is wrong.  Amateurs.  Anyways, still doubt me?  Read Stephen Turnbull's "Samurai Invasions."  He correctly converts the dates and also has October 26th, 1597 for the battle.  -- WangKon936 12:55, 02 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date of Battle of Myeongnyang 

message: Admiral Yi did not have any turtle ships at Myeongnyang. All 13 ships were Panokseons, the large Korean-style battleships during Joseon Dyansty. No source say that Admiral Yi had turtle ships during the battle, since all turtle ships were destroyed in Chilchonryang.

thread_title:  Turtle Ships? 

message: Mr.historiographer, it seems that you have not read Yi Sunshin's diary. As to military gains, he wrote "賊船三十一隻撞破" only. What are grounds of "92 disabled" and "12000"? As far as the diary is concerned, I've not ever seen the grounds. And as to the damage of Korea, surely, he indicated "2 killed, 3 wounded (on his ship)", and named these casualties. However, Yi hadn't written that "these had been all damage". In addition, in original text of September 17, he wrote, 7 or 8 Korean soldiars had fallen from ship, but he couldn't have helped them. This interpretation has nothing to do with "Westerner". Reading the diary exactly, it's obvious. Isebito (talk) 16:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Battle Box 

message: "But from beginning to mid-time, only commandship fought in the battle. other 12 ships were in backfront of the field, didn't fight and waited for time to ran away."
"After that, Finally Ahn Wi (안위) overcome fear and joined the battle, and then other ships except Kim Eok-Chu's ship were also joined."
"Admiral Yi ordered his ships to advance and press the attack, destroying ships out of all proportion to their relative numbers."
And more errors, with no citations! The article needs significant revision, preferably by an expert with access to primary sources. 208.251.180.35 (talk) 20:33, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Little citation, grammar/punctuation errors 

message: Has been deleted.  Originally, the addition was in the "Aftermath" section and said, "Despite the tactical victory, however, the Japanese Navy would continue to advance, and Japan would complete the occupation of the Yeonggwang County on October 13."
Source cited was: "Annals of the Joseon Dynasty". 93 (宣祖 30年 10月 13日 / October 13, 1597). Retrieved 2013-12-09. "靈光避亂儒生李洪鍾等船隻, 忠淸營前浦到泊, 問水路賊勢, 則洪鍾言內, 在海中時, 連遇上來鮑作人, 詳問下道賊勢, 則賊船或三四隻, 或八九隻, 入靈光以下諸島, 殺擄極慘, 靈光地有避亂船七隻, 無遺陷沒。"
However, I had this translated and the passage from the Sillok does not say that the Japanese took Yeonggwang County.  It says instead:
:"Yi Heong-jong and [some] ships went to investigate where the “water pirates” (i.e. Japanese) went, bumped into some people at sea and asked for details of the pirate’s whereabouts.  The pirates with 3-4 or 8-9 ships raided islands nearby Yeonggwang to slaughter.  7 ships from Yeonggwang attempted to flee but were not found/destroyed."
So, the passage does not say that the Japanese occupied Yeonggwang.  It says they raided some islands off Yeonggwang county (which is on the mainland) and fled before Yi Heong-jong could engage them.  Given this correct translation, the statement cannot stand and should be deleted-- WangKon936 2:08, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apparent Japanese advance into Yeonggwang County 

message: The "Background" and "Prelude" sections would benefit greatly from dates. Right now, I'm left without a sense of when any of these events happened, or even what sequence they took place in--Admiral Yi is demoted, then he's fighting the Japanese, then he's restored to command.
