Thanks a lot, Brion, Juuitchan, and anonymous. I've put the two answers here in Wikipedia talk:Wikipedians/South Korea page for other possible korean wikipediholics. Xaos

Xaos, it's great to have at least one Korean on board. Please don't feel that your English ability prohibits you from writing ariticles about ANYTHING (not just about Korea). It is EASY for us to edit your grammar and spelling ... that's what's so great about wikipedia! If you make a mistake, somebody will fix it, QUICK! Several ESL teachers here are also trying to add more Korean content to wikipedia, so, hopefully, we'll have info on Korean mask dances, "national treasures," holidays, hanbok, geography, etc. Sara Parks Ricker 16:52 Oct 9, 2002 (UTC)

환영합니다! --Ed Poor

Hey, I noticed your (I think it was you) note on the Korean stub wikipedia. If you like, I can set it up on the new server where I can configure it for Unicode support and links should work. Interface localization can be dropped in as it goes, as with the Japanese stub wikipedia which I notice you've also discovered. --Brion 23:49 Oct 10, 2002 (UTC)

I went ahead and did so. --Brion 08:16 Oct 11, 2002 (UTC)

Xaos, I'm glad you're here. I know Sara and I have felt quite a burden to add Korean content to Wikipedia, but being strangers in a strange land (strange to us, I mean) makes things difficult.

As Sara has said, please write some articles; we've had people do good work with far worse English than you have at your command. --Stephen Gilbert 02:30 Oct 14, 2002 (UTC)

Please see my comment on my talk page and see if you can come up for a better Korean translation for The Tailgating Spinster! --Daniel C. Boyer

In case you are interested in knowing this I once designed and made a wristwatch with a portrait of Ahn Choong-Kun. --Daniel C. Boyer

Han-geul Jamo and Blocks

Hi saox, I'd like to add the following info on Han-geul:

1. The additional jamo include ·, ㆆ and ㆁ. [1] Can you tell from the following brief articles what their original pronunciations were?
   1. ㆆ (yeorinhieuh) [2]
   2. Does ㆁ (yesieung) [3] pronounce as "ng"? This is apparently a different jamo from ㅇ (ieung), which is rounder than the oval ㆁ.
   3. ·: Does it pronounce exactly like eo? Eo also has an IPA symbol of [∧].
      1. What is · called?
2. What is Han-geul "block" called in Korean (in Han-geul and Hanja)? Do Koreans distinguish it from "syllable" (음절 ; 音節 eumjeol)?
3. What is the minimum and maximum amount of jamo in a Han-geul block? (I found a full table here, but there are so many.)
   1. Is just one consonant jamo considered a block?
4. Do you know what the Hanja of Ju Sikyeong, the name-coiner of "Han-geul" are? I assume Ju is 朱. Born Chu Sangho, he lived from 1876-1914.

Gomawo. --Menchi 13:00 18 May 2003 (UTC)

NoSmoke

The answers provided by PuzzeletChung on NoSmoke were very useful. I registered an account there and have read the English introduction ( http://no-smok.net/nsmk/NoSmoke ), but I'm still not sure how it works. When I have a question, do I just post it on my user page ( http://no-smok.net/nsmk/Menchi ) with the keyword "AnswerMe" on top, and wait for people to come? How would people know that I have a question? Thru RecentChange? --Menchi 13:31 28 May 2003 (UTC)
