  • ... that in the Utoro district of Kyoto, Japan, Koreans who had once been forced to labor there dodged eviction efforts for 65 years until they could afford to buy the land?Source: [1] Aug. 1945 -- Airfield construction suspended following Japan's defeat in World War II. Estimated 1,300 Korean laborers left abandoned, some of them continue living in Utoro... 2010 and 2011 -- Using donations from Korean residents, Japanese and South Korean citizens and the South Korean government, about a third of Utoro land is purchased from the real estate firm.

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - See below.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Quality article based on solid sources. Earwig detects no problems. A couple small issues. The article ought to be renamed "Utoro, Kyoto" as is the case with other Japanese city sub-districts, such as Kanda, Tokyo. ALT0 is also just a bit of a mouthful and its syntax could use a little reshuffling. It would suffice to write and wikilink Kyoto rather than "Kyoto, Japan". Also, it be more helpful to give exact years for when the Korean forced laborers arrived and when they/their families were finally able to purchase their land. Again, minor quibbles. Really good work overall! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 19:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

  • Hey, thanks for the review! How's this? I moved page and reworded ALT0. One thing—should I use "Uji" or "Kyoto" in the title? I don't really know how Japanese administrative divisions work lolol 😅 toobigtokale (talk) 22:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Utoro, Uji is perfect! I thought it was a sub-district in Kyoto, but didn't realize that it's actually in a suburb. So thanks for clarifying that. One small request: could you please restore the original ALT0, then copy and paste your revision as a new ALT1? It's no big deal for me, but I just want to make sure other editors don't throw a wrench into this DYK nom on a possible technicality. Once you do that, I'll approve your ALT1. Thank you for your hard work! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 23:32, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
