Recent activities

[edit]

I've been really pleased with how much progress we've been making on administrative things, thank you! I think now is one of the most productive times for the project we've ever had.

Summarizing recent happenings here.

Have been updating Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Reliable sources.

Added to the MOS:KO:

  • MOS:HANJASOURCE: Make sure to provide sources for Hanja. Chinese-language sources are less reliable for this, because of MOS:HANJAHANZI.
  • MOS:KO-ETHNICITY: Avoid using "Korean" to describe things that are specifically North or South Korean. E.g. South Korean company Naver, not Korean company Naver. Also, avoid using "Korean-American" etc in infobox and lead; that's an ethnicity and not a nationality.
  • MOS:KO-BIRTHPLACE: When describing a birth place, don't use the modern equivalent of the birthplace. Use the name of the birthplace at the time of their birth, e.g. a person born in 1500 was born in "Joseon" and not "South Korea" (although you should use the current most relevant article title and not the contemporary spelling; e.g. "Busan" and not "Pusan").
  • MOS:KO-FAMILYTREE: Make sure family trees are sourced, and avoid putting excessive details in them (extended relatives). We're currently pruning excessive unsourced details in these; this affected many historical people pages.
  • MOS:KO-FIRSTSENTENCE: Rewrote this to be easier to read, logic is the same. How to organize the first sentence and parentheses of article.

Oh and a minor note: we recently fully evaluated the importance and quality of every article in WikiProject Korea! I think this maybe is the first time ever that we've accomplished this.

Going to be adjusting monarch infoboxes

[edit]

Per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Korea/Archive 24#Korean monarch names in infoboxes, I'm going to be removing the name of the state before king names in infoboxes using AWB. seefooddiet (talk) 22:35, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Breve template

[edit]

Just created Template:Breve for substituting in a breved character (used for McCune–Reischauer). This will save people the trouble of copy+pasting or following the technical steps to enable typing breves. seefooddiet (talk) 09:11, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback requested at Talk:Aegyo

[edit]

Your feedback would be appreciated at Talk:Aegyo#Why Korea? Request also sent to WP:ASIA. Sohryu Asuka Langley Not Shikinami (talk) 08:44, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help finding sources?

[edit]

(I was wondering if anyone could help find sources for the film The Man with Two Faces (1975 film) 공포의 이중인간 ). The article is up for deletion and it would be great if someone could check for sources in Korean. I am using Google Translate so I'm limited to just what can get translated easily - since the film is older, I have a feeling that if sourcing does exist, it's potentially going to in places I can't use Google Translate.

Here's some coverage in sources considered reliable by WP:KO/RS
"공포의 이중인간" translates literally as "The Double Man of Terror" so if you're reading it with machine translation that's probably what the title will show.
Easily enough coverage there, and its inclusion in the Korean Film Archive means it meets criteria #4 in WP:NFO at the very least, and likely #2 as well for being selected as a film that portrays the greatest Korean villains. RachelTensions (talk) 16:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
