Talk:United States Army Military Government in Korea

message: Huaiwei added some text to the Key events section.  It contains a broken reference, .  Most likely, it was copied from some other Wikipedia article.  Until the reference can be fixed, I've added  and commmented out the <ref> tag.
There are also NPOV issues, and I've tagged the section.  Text like "The US administration responded by declaring martial law, firing into crowds of demonstrators and killing an unknown number of people" shows an anti-occupation POV.  For instance, "unknown" implies a large number, but we don't know that, because no estimates are given.  Also, the source given may not be reliable. Superm401 - Talk 04:36, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Broken reference and POV

message: The history section (key events) is lacking.  Besides the issues mentioned above, the article doesn't really explain how the occupation ended.  Some info about this is at Division_of_Korea#Establishment_of_two_Koreas. Superm401 - Talk 07:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  More history 

message: Freedom of the press?  First flowering of Korean literature?  Where are the sources for this information?
I don't have time to edit this section right now, so I'm deleting it.  I'll try to get around to editing it later, but if someone wants to check out an English-language source on censorship and press controls under USAMGIK, these are detailed in Cuming's Origins of the Korean War.  Also there are plenty of English-language sources out there that detail colonial-era literature, especially Yi Kwang-su's Mujǒng.  Offhand I know Kyeong-hee Choi has done English-language work on Pak Wansǒ's "Mother's Stake 1" that's available in Colonial Modernity in Korea (ed. Shin, Robinson), a text that's relatively easy to find.

message: John R. Hodge is not listed as the military governor here, but he is called that on his own page and on William F. Dean's page.  If Hodge was not military govenor, what was his official title?--Jack Upland (talk) 01:59, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have amended the paragraph concerning events in 1946, which didn't seem to be based fully  on the one reference, and I've added two more references and some links. The previous version seemed rather garbled and I've attempted a more objective version based on the available sources.  It also seemed important to link to other significant events of that year (such as the General Strike and Autumn Uprising).BobBadg (talk) 20:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Hey, I just removed from the infobox that the USAMGIK was preceded by the Korean Provisional Government.
In my own opinion (I think there's plenty of good arguments on other side), it seems a stretch to call the USAMGIK the successor to the KPG, especially when the US explicitly refused to recognize them and the KPG explicitly agreed in writing to enter as civilians.
It is true that the KPG was, decades later, constitutionally inscribed by the South Korean government as the predecessor to the modern SK government. But I think it'd make more sense to have the KPG and USAMGIK be separate predecessors to the SK government, and not have the KPG listed as preceeeding the USAMGIK. toobigtokale (talk) 20:58, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
