message: I can't find that stir-fried tteok (tteok bokki?) is mentioned in the article. Isn't this a common food? Badagnani 04:23, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing 

message: Is it true, as I have been told, that Korean soy sauce is never used as a condiment (i.e. added to food at the table), but is only used in cooking dishes? This would be different than the Chinese and Japanese use of soy sauce and merits mention in the Soy sauce article. Badagnani 00:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's generally true but there's no customary prohibition against it.melonbarmonster 01:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

text: There are no condiments used for gimbap.  The rice, vegetables and meat are seasoned before everything is rolled.melonbarmonster 21:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

text: No problem.  Kimbap is no frills food on the go sort of like sushi before it got all fancified in modern times.melonbarmonster 21:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Korean soy sauce 

message: What was changed in this edit? It's not made clear in "Discussion." With all the controversy, why does the editor not explain what exactly s/he is changing, particularly in the dog meat section? Badagnani 00:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You obviously are not very informed about Korean cuisine.  Edits were discussed extensively by several editors here in the talk page and in the history.  Please refer them and ask me any questions you have.  Nothing was deleted in the above edit, just moved.melonbarmonster 16:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes 

message: I've caught Lactose using references fraudulently and lying red-handed in multiple articles and he's up to his old tricks yet again.  In spite of his claims, I've included in the text a while back with edit explanations:
 
Kim et al, Dietary factors and stomach cancer: a case-control study in Korea. International Journal of Epidemiology 1995; 24: 33-41
This research found lower stomach cancer rates in those to consumed higher amounts of kimchi.  Even research papers that found increased cancer risk in kimchi consumption cites this article as having found a decreased cancer factor.  Even http://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/11/3175.pdf article which found nitrate and salt in kimchi and dwenjang as being cancer risks cites this research as having found kimchi to be a "protective factor against cancer" and does not contradict or challenge it.

message: Why was this deleted without consensus? I just can't understand it. Badagnani 23:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After looking at it, I think I understand it. You don't need to establish consensus to delete un-cited statements that contain phrases like "...is widely believed...". Such statements constitute mere conjecture which have no place in encyclopedia articles. =Axlq 02:40, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Melonbarmonster's deletion

message: Holy, moly I deleted the word "male" because the sentence already states the sex of popular consumers and there's no need to restate the obvious and this guy is accusing me of deleting "that do meat is believed to enhance male virility"!!! LOL.melonbarmonster 02:38, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Continued illogical bullying by Badagnani

message: This article is the source giving the statistics blanked in this edit. Melonbarmonster, will you go ahead and restore that text, now that we have the source at hand? Badagnani 03:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a different article than the one that's referenced in the text. Nonetheless, there's no need to include a breakdown of the stats when we the text already states that 55.3% of Koreans have "tried dog meat" which is further verified by this new article.melonbarmonster 03:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
