message: I fail to see how one incident reported over 3 years ago, with no source for any follow-up investigation, merits inclusion in this article (see WP:UNDUE), especially with a statement claiming multiple abuses that is not supported by the single source provided. I am removing the information pending the addition of other reliable sources. dfg (talk) 20:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  It has a reliable source, and being 3 years old does not make it unsuitable for wikipedia. Please do not remove cited information again. Sennen goroshi (talk) 05:06, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Please see WP:UNDUE as I linked above ("Just as giving undue weight to a viewpoint is not neutral, so is giving undue weight to other verifiable and sourced statements.) Isolated incidents do not merit inclusion in articles of broad scope, per WP:NPOV. Furthermore, there is nothing at all in the source provided that mentions anything about any other incident. If you can provide a reliable source that reports a pattern or history of abuses, or even follows up on what the result of this particular investigation was, please do so. But until then, including a report of a single occurrence violates Wikipedia's policy of NPOV, so it stays out. dfg (talk) 16:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  It was not a single incident. Hmmmm isolated incidents do not warrant inclusion? Then shall we delete the 9/11 attacks article, just because it was only 4 planes? or how about the assassination of JFK? after all only one president of the USA was killed in that incident.  It is correctly cited, if you think it gives undue weight, then feel free to balance the article with claims of how nice the South Korean military is. You should balance articles, not remove information. Sennen goroshi (talk) 10:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Your source details only one incident. Note that I am not denying there are human rights abuses in the SK military, but your source does not express that; find a better source (such as the Economist, hint hint) that documents a pattern or history of abuse. Your comparisons to 9/11 and JFK are strawmen; those incidents are extremely notable, covered by hundreds of reliable sources and stand on their own as articles whereas this incident has nothing close and could not. You need to examine WP:NPOV and WP:UNDUE more closely to understand why isolated incidents, even if sourced, do not belong in articles of broad scope, such as this one. If you feel that this particular incident is notable, then feel free to create an article for it. My suggestion to you is to avoid the impulse to add something sensational (ooh! Koreans being forced to eat poop!) to a topic for which you have contempt, and look for a source that enhances the quality of the article. As for your suggestion on my talk page to bring in a third party, be my guest. dfg (talk) 18:41, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Military abuse 

message: With awful old sources (some well over a decade), and practices that are no longer taking places, which were out lawed 5~8 years ago, taking the majority of the article, I am really tempted to start this article from scratch using Department of State's human rights report... any comment anyone?

thread_title: This article is a total mess

message: South Korea, like many other modern countries change its methods and laws very often. Citation from 6~8 years ago does not reflect the current system. This article is a delicate one and some of its outdated content should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.219.109.84 (talk) 02:37, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Content should be removed until there is a credible source.
