Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Korean cinema task force

message: I'm not sure how many of you have looked at the site hancinema.net, but I'm wondering what you guys think for using it as an external link on korean films? Personally I use it pretty much exclusively to imdb in relation to korean films as I find it way more useful with a lot better information on it than imdb for korean films. There is of course the rare film not available on there, but most films from 2000 forward are listed there.--Crossmr (talk) 06:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Personally I find HanCinema to be an excellent resource for Korean films, and always tend to add a link to film and actor articles. As I recall, there was an issue last year with another editor removing such links (and those to Koreanfilm.org) as "linkspam", but I don't think it's an issue now.

thread_title:  Hancinema links for Korean films 

message: Since we have our own infobox for Korean films, I was wondering how other feel about removing the AMG link? In the vast majority of cases, I find AMG to be of little real use when it comes to Korean films. I was thinking that a link to KMDB or/and HanCinema might provide a more relevant alternative. Any opinions? PC78 (talk) 00:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: for older films we might want to do IMDB, for newer films we might want to do hancinema. I find for older stuff (pre 2000 and low budget stuff after 2000) its not really on hancinema, except for really big films in the pre-2000 era. While on the other hand a lot more of the older films are on IMDB, but a lot of newer ones seem to take more time getting on there. There are also issues with romanization of names, and because its user submitted it can lead to having multiple entries on actors and such.--Crossmr (talk) 02:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point about HanCinema. It's a great resource for recent films, but it only goes back as far as 1995 or so. PC78 (talk) 15:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I'd say IMDB should stay, since it's pretty standard, though, ahem, not "Reliable". As for a Korea-specific database, I'd vote for KMDB. You're right about AMG, PC78, it's generally pretty useless for Korean cinema. Dekkappai (talk) 18:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links in [[Template:Infobox Korean Film]] 

message: Does anyone know anything about this film? This recent article suggests that filming has not yet begun, which would mean that the article fails WP:NFF and should therefore be deleted. PC78 (talk) 20:27, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Strange... The only source is the IMDB profile, which is actually to Nunmul (Tears (film)). None of the main databases cover it yet. There may be some news items out on it, but the article as a whole looks like copyright-infringement-ish. He's a major director, and we may have to restart the article later if it gets made, but absent any sourcing at all and no film yet, I'd lean towards deleting it for now. Dekkappai (talk) 20:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for the broken link, KOFIC won't let me link to the article for some reason; here is the same article on HanCinema. The title gets minimal ghits, and all I could find were a couple of articles from 2006, presumably when the film was first announced. I think I'll AfD it. PC78 (talk) 21:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Right-- any actual information on the project-- planned an unfilmed, or to be filmed in the future-- should go at the Im Sang-soo article until it gets made. Dekkappai (talk) 21:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.  This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year.  Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

message: Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations. 
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible. 
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

message: I am plodding along trying to update bios on Korean TV actors and Korean Historical TV Dramas.  I'm not too swift with the whole wiki markup and formatting thing yet, even though I've been doing this for about 2 years.  Also, I can neither read nor write Hangul, so at times researching content for the articles I have been working on is tedious.  I am wondering if any WikiProject Korea users would be interested in helping edit, translate, or otherwise assist with the articles I am (and will be) working on.  Please see my contributions page if you are so inclined to assist.  I'm also wondering if anyone knows of any print Korean entertainment magazines, books or articles I can purchase to use as references in writing articles, I would appreciate assistance in tracking them down.  I am particularly interested in print periodicals that i could subscribe to.   Asturnut (talk) 08:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This year the government started an initiative and made a deal with Cinus theatres in myeong-dong and gangnam to show Korean movies with English subtitles. It got press and it is an official service. Should this be mentioned on the various films pages that they were part of this program? These can be verified during their run at , however there are no archives for later verification.--Crossmr (talk) 14:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The best article to mention this may be Cinema of Korea, though not sure where else a mention is warranted.  How big of a deal is this, though?  What did the press say about the initiative? —Erik (talk • contrib) 18:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The press was reporting that it was being done to make Seoul a more friendly city for expats and to promote Korean movies around the world.. Though the articles are a little misleading. They give the impression that every Korean movie released will be shown there with English subs and it just hasn't proven true. While they've shown quite a few, it seems like they've only subtitled about half and there have been plenty which haven't had subtitles or were subtitled only for like a week and then quickly disappeared (like Thirst (2009 film))--Crossmr (talk) 23:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello - 2 years ago AsianMediaWiki was placed on wikipedia's blacklist due to errors on my part for not being up with wiki etiquette. In that time I believe the site has grown to be a compelling source for Asian movie information - including Korean films. I have enquired about the removal and several persons (Beetstra and Mife_Lifeguard specifically) are supportive of the removal but request an editor from a related wiki project to make the request here MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist. If you are not familiar with our site some pages that might provided supplemental information to wikipedia are 
http://asianmediawiki.com/Category:South_Korean_films <-- easy navigation to nail down movies by year of release (even movies in production) / genre / or alphabetically
http://asianmediawiki.com/The_Chaser

http://asianmediawiki.com/Jun-ki_Lee
http://asianmediawiki.com/The_Case_of_Itaewon_Homicide

I would really like to get the stigma of the blacklist off of our site if possible. I would be more than happy to contribute edits on wikipedia if advised on which articles would need help. I'm also usually on #mediawiki in the irc channel and would be happy to discuss further or chat about movies in general if interested. thanks -- --RamenLover (talk) 12:07, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey in the meantime I noticed the Lee Jun Ki page now incorporated parts of the Jun-ki Lee from here http://asianmediawiki.com/Jun-ki_Lee, which is fine - but could you attribute the source and someone ask to remove the blacklist for our site? This is part of our original bio :
(http://asianmediawiki.com/Jun-ki_Lee) ... Jun-ki was a fairly normal kid who enjoyed sports & computers. He first became interested in the performing arts as a high school student after watching a play of “Hamlet.”[1] Jun-ki Lee initially failed to get into college and, because of this, he moved to Seoul with almost nothing, but a dream to work in the entertainment field. For the next couple of years, Jun-ki worked at various part time jobs, before gaining acceptance into the Seoul Institute of the Arts. In 2001, Jun-ki Lee made his debut as a model for fashion brand So Basic, appearing alongside actress Hee-seon Kim.[2] 
and this is now on the wikipedia page:
(wikiepdia Lee Jun Ki) ... Jun Ki was a fairly normal individual who enjoyed sports and computers. He first became interested in the performing arts as a high school student after watching a play of "Hamlet". Lee initially failed to get into college and because of this, he moved to Seoul with almost nothing in his pocket, but a dream to work in the entertainment industry. For the next couple of years, Lee worked at various part-time jobs, before gaining acceptance into the Seoul Institute of the Arts. Lee later started out as a model and held minor roles in Korean dramas.

In Japanese and Korean cinema, this would include many articles listed at such awards as:

* Pusan Film Critics Awards
and many of the Japanese films listed at:

message: As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs. 
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man) 05:13, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
