Ambiguity in modern names for the country/peninsula

"While South Koreans use Han (or Hanguk) to refer to the entire country, North Koreans and Koreans in China use the term Joseon as the name of the country." Does 'entire country' mean South Korea or the entire Korean Peninsula? It could be read both ways.

Move page to simply "Korea" under WP:COMMONNAME.

Literally no-one uses the term "South Korea" , when people refer to the Republic of Korea they always say "Korea", only the Democratic Republic of Korea is called "North Korea", compare with other common name disputes like how the Republic of China is called "Taiwan", and the People's Republic of China is called "China". There's no need to call this article "South Korea", it's an awkward term only used whenever "North Korea" is mentioned, but never when the country alone is mentioned.

We would need to move Korea also if we did this. What would suggest we move that to? ~ GB fan 01:27, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]


First you say "Literally no-one uses the term..." then you contradict yourself saying "it's an awkward term only used whenever..." Think about what you are saying. Also, to speculate that it is only used whenever North Korea is mentioned is false. Look, the New York Times uses it, without mentioning North Korea. (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/business/hyundai-south-korea-whistle-blower-recall.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fasia&_r=0) Look, the BBC uses it, without mentioning North Korea. (http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39986946) There is clearly a reason for an encyclopedia to distinguish. And using the term "South Korea" is already abiding by WP:COMMONNAME, as opposed to ROK.

Don't know where you've been hearing people referring to this country as simply "Korea", but I sure ain't heard anybody do that. Mark Froelich could probably have FILLED this page with examples of "South Korea" being used without any whiff of a mention of North Korea. --Khajidha (talk) 15:57, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bad idea, there are currently two countries North Korea and South Korea and it would be very misleading to just name South Korea as the only "Korea." What would the nickname of North Korea be then? North Koreans will probably try to use the name "Korea" and then it would just be a mess. Right now there is still two countries: North Korea and South Korea so the articles should reflect this reality and not fiction. 27.100.20.156 (talk) 01:59, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Korean Sign Language

A law has been passed in 2016 declaring KSL as an official language, giving it an equal status with Korean. Source: http://www.law.go.kr/%EB%B2%95%EB%A0%B9/%ED%95%9C%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%ED%99%94%EC%96%B8%EC%96%B4%EB%B2%95/(13978,20160203) Isko1901 (talk) 02:46, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Koryo is not a subject state of China

I'm a historian in Koryo university in South Korea.Sorry for nonfluent English.It is hard to say Koryo was a subject state of China.Because Koryo conduted war against China.Article was a written by view of Chinese historian.It's an outdated theory.This article may cause many misunderstandings.I think that writing koryo like a subject state of China is barely suitable for introducing Korean history.Thank you.I owe you for your services.61.84.209.166 (talk) 19:20, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

GDP error

Hey dudes,

It looks like the GDP (nominal) says "1,498 trillion."

It should be "1.498 trillion" right?

Administrative divisions Picture Misalignment

Under the administrative divisions, the pictures for the current president and prime minster is misaligned.

Half of the picture for Moon Jae In is covered by numbers from the population column.
