replies: text: Names of Istanbul is a good example. I agree to merge. But, if we merge Gyeongseong into Names of Seoul, contributions by many people at Gyeongseong would be forgot, that sounds too bad. Technically, Names of Seoul should be merged into Gyeongseong.--Mochi (talk) 14:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, your last sentence sounds reasonable. We need to await for more opinions from others. --Appletrees (talk) 14:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should stick to the status quo, with a link from here to Gyeongseong, and the other names of Seoul, should there ever be a page created for them. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 01:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Consolidate. This is a complicated topic and probably needs a bit more expansion, but the articles could be easily consolidated into a single well-written article, rather than two seperate and rather similar articles. Aep (talk) 09:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Note

message: Old Western maps (before the late 19th c.) refer to Seoul as Kingkitao, based on the Chinese pronunciation of 京畿道 Gyeonggi-do. Obviously this is an exonym but as it appears on so many old maps, perhaps there's a way to mention it?

message: Why is the Shanghainese pronunciation used as an argument against the new name? It fits perfectly phonetically. --94.134.89.187 (talk) 21:08, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shanghainese 

message: Why was it ever called this? The article gets so caught up in this 2005 Chinese name change that it never bothers to explain where this name came from, nor where most of the other former names came from. Furius (talk) 01:32, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
