:Good point! I was sheepishly going with what was there in a previous version. The latter is definitely more common, but the short form 東海 is often enough. --MarkSweep 00:12, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed~ So should we change the name? (for Chinese only, as for Korean I really have no idea) --Hunter 00:13, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

message: It has been proposed that East Sea should redirect to the Sea of Japan page, instead of the current East Sea (disambiguation) page.  As concensus will determine this, please discuss it here in Talk:Sea of Japan#East Sea diambiguation page.  Thank you.
Note:  Wikipedia:Disambiguation policy mandates that if there is risk of confusion, East Sea should redirect to a disambiguation page first.--Endroit 10:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Vietnam's official name for the South China Sea is "East Sea", so it cannot be redirected to Sea of Japan.Phead128 (talk) 23:41, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  East Sea ⇒ Sea of Japan redirection 

message: In Korea, Korean don't say it is Korean South Sea generally. Of course, area round Ryuku and the east coast of Shanghai is included and called as "동지나해". But not this article(2007/Feb/19) is saying "In Korean, sometime" call it as "남해". In my opinion, description should be like this: East China sea is facing Korea's 'South Sea'(남해,Nam Hae) at northside and continue to Yellow Sea. --61.82.88.1 07:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Korea, East China Sea is 동지나해 

message: The article could also include additional background on these EEZ disputes between China and Japan in relation to undersea oil reserves as well; it would appear these have been in dispute for decades.  Also perhaps include commentary on recent attempts at conciliation, late 2007,with talks planned between the Chinese Premier and Japanese Prime Minister over these issues.Shaz08 (talk) 03:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional information regarding China - Japan conflict in East China Sea 

message: East China Sea should be called "East Sea" as it is known in China. Or map should say East China Sea (East Sea).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.214.225 (talk) 10:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Vietnam's official name for the South China Sea is "East Sea" and Korea's official name for the Sea of Japan is the "East Sea", so it's better to specifically say "East China Sea". Plus, you cannot put it in paratheses unless the name is disputed by multiple nations according to IHO.Phead128 (talk) 23:43, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: East China Sea is East Sea

message: Please see Sea of Japan naming dispute where hundreds of old maps use Sea of Korea for the Sea of Japan. The National Geographic Information Institute of Korea found only 31 of 400 maps that used Sea of Korea for East China Sea. Japan found that 49 out of 83 18th-century French maps used Sea of Korea for the Sea of Japan. For the 19th-century, 6 French maps used Sea of Korea for the Sea of Japan (most (206) 19th-century French maps used the now common Sea of Japan). One cannot look at a map, see a name used on that map for a geographic feature, and then state in WP's voice that it was the common name of the feature used by X during that period.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Here, I've removed an assertion that South Korea borders the East China Sea which appeared in this January 16, 2016 edit. That is incorrect as I read the accompanying map, the Extent section of the article, and the source cited in that article body section. Also, a mention here of North Korea would be similarly incorrect. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 13:30, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  South (and/or North) Korea 

message: I can’t tell from this (or the other wiki articles) if the Korea Strait is in the East China Sea, or the Sea of Japan... or both.
There’s no Nomo Saki in my Google Maps.  And no latitude lines display.

replies: text: The Strait article says, "A strait is a naturally formed, narrow, typically navigable waterway that connects two larger bodies of water." According to Encyclopædia Britannica Online, it is in neither, but extends "northeast from the East China Sea to the Sea of Japan (East Sea) between the south coast of the Korean peninsula (northwest) and the Japanese islands of Kyushu and Honshu.() Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 11:39, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

message: I wasn't sure if this edit should stand, I've left it as the editor is acting in good faith but someone more familiar with this article should confirm. —siroχo 07:06, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
