Mass moves of Korean articles

We have a set of established naming conventions for Korean geographic articles: Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(Korean)#Place_names. Not all articles follow them, and it should be uncontroversial to make moves where the new name is consistent with the naming conventions. However, many of your recent moves go in the opposite direction. Please stop (for now) and discuss these. Conventions aren't set in stone, and they can change, but you need to get a consensus before making mass changes. You might take it up at the Korean naming conventions talk page. --Amble (talk) 20:11, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also note that when you're making the same change to the naming of a large number of articles, that seriously weakens the justification "for consistency with other articles". --Amble (talk) 20:14, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for visiting my user talk. I did read Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(Korean)#Place_names through your note. Why are mountains and rivers different? I will propose one for consistency at the Korean naming conventions talk page. Sawol (talk) 02:59, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translating Korean names is always challenging. The current convention tries to balance correctness, consistency with common usage, and clarity. But of course, it's still (necessarily) somewhat arbitrary. I'll look forward to your new proposal at the naming conventions page. Thanks. --Amble (talk) 03:15, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
