I've been doing quite a bit of work on gradually expanding and adding sources to this article, especially since at one point only three or four sources were even being used, and there were tons of completely uncited statistics on the numbers involved in the protests. This was a major event in the history of South Korea as it marked the end of the country being ruled by a series of right-wing dictatorships through the Cold War and becoming a liberal democratic state, but in spite of the fact that South Korea today is considered prominent internationally, this article wasn't in great shape. I've been doing my best with details from both English and also Korean sources, although I can't speak the language.

- Hi, thanks for your hard work. I made a few copyedits myself, mostly on style. Let me know if have any thoughts. toobigtokale (talk) 04:35, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Re: the unsourced section, I was a little unsure how to deal with the section "In popular culture". I was under the impression such sections were generally discouraged, which led me to consider removing it at some point, although it seems that isn't actually strictly the case. I could try expanding it into some better-sourced and substantial. Totalibe (talk) 16:31, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- That seems reasonable. Thanks for sharing that essay, I hadn’t read it before toobigtokale (talk) 19:30, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Comments from Z1720
[edit]Comments after a quick skim:
- First paragraph in "Main demonstrations" needs a citation.
- First paragraph in "Constitutional reform" needs a citation.
- Last paragraph in "Democratic elections" needs a citation.
- If you are looking for more sources, try WP:LIBRARY, Google Scholar, archive.org, or your local library system.
Hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 00:45, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- I will admit to being a little unsure about how election results that are mentioned on directly linked pages are typically handled, and wherever they are regarded as being covered by the linked page or not. The first paragraph under "main demonstrations" I did/do definitely intend to work on though (among other things). Totalibe (talk) 19:27, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
