Article evaluation

Article I chose

"Liancourt Rocks"

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Yes, everything in the article is relevant to its topic, and nothing distracted me.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? 

It is neutral. Both Japanese and Korean names of the islets are redirected to this article, which implies it respect both of them. Also, when someone initiated discussion about changing the title of the article, contributors agreed to keep the neutral name. Even in Japanese version, editors were against a modification solely based on the claim made by the Japanese government.

Some of the links are broken, especially ones to the Korean government websites.

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

The section about the territorial conflict between Japan and South Korea does not use proper citations.

The article uses a lot of Korean sources and some non-Asian ones but few Japanese ones. Most non-Asian sources look neutral. The sources published by the Japanese government are biased because they makes the claim that Takeshima (Japanese name for Liancourt Rocks) is under Japanese sovereignty, but the editors do not use them in the section that has controversy. I cannot judge articles written in Korean.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

Information about climate and ecology is out of date because it comes from sources made more than ten years ago. The section about the history can be added because the Japanese version has more useful sources and information. There is another article about the territorial conflict between Japan and Korea, and it covers history of the rocks.

Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?

As I mentioned in the third answer, the contributors talked about the name of the article. A Korean person claimed that the article should be named Dokdo (Korean name for Liancourt Rocks) because Korea has stronger evidence. However, others evaluated the evidence provided by that person and concluded it was biased. Finally, they reached an agreement to use Liancourt Rocks as the title of the article.

How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class (if we have)? What is your overall impression of the article?

While students may express mere opinions based on their feelings, Wikipedia tries to be objective by using only facts confirmed by reliable sources; most of the statements are supported by outside sources. I felt Wikipedia is also different from research papers I have written in college because it does not intend to make any claims though I have been taught research papers must be argumentative. I think those characteristics makes Wikipedia a fact-based website.

Wiki Project Draft - Koreans in Japan

History

Overview (new section)

The modern flow of Koreans to Japan started from Japan-Korea Treaty of 1876 and had increased dramatically since 1920. During World War II, … South Korean government.

The statistics regarding … arrived in Japan.

Origin Before World War II (rename the section)

After the conclusion of Japan-Korea Treaty of 1876, Korean students and asylum seeker started to come to Japan, including Bak Yeonghyo, Kim Ok-gyun, and Song Byeong-jun. There were about 800 Koreans living in Japan before Japan annexed Korea.[1] In the 1920s, the demand for labor in Japan was high while Koreans had some difficulty in finding jobs. This coincidence of interests boosted the migration to Japan. Majority of the immigrants consisted of farmers from the southern part of Korea.[2] The number of Koreans in Japan in 1930 was more than ten times larger than that of 1920 reaching 419,000.[1] However, jobs they could get were mainly physical labor due to their poor education, and they worked with discriminated minority people.[2]

Before World War II, the Japanese Government tried to reduce the number of incoming Koreans because it caused unemployment in the mainland of Japan. Therefore, the Japanese government devoted resource to Korean Peninsula.[3]

During World War II

In 1939, the Japanese government introduced the National Manpower Mobilization Act and conscripted Koreans to deal with labor shortages due to World War II.[4]

After World War II

After World War II, Koreans entered Japan illegally due to an unstable political situation and economic hardship in Korean Peninsula. For example, 20,000 of Koreans fled from Jeju Island after Jeju uprising and in 1948.[5] Yeosu-Suncheon rebellion also increased the illegal immigration to Japan.[6] It is said that 90 % of illegal immigrants were Koreans between 1946-1949.[7] During Koran War, Korean immigrants came to Japan to avoid torture and dictatorship by the Korean government.[8] Examples of people who left Korea because of its economy include Masayoshi Son’s family and Han Chang-u.[9][10]

Fishers and brokers helped immigrants enter Japan via Tsushima.[11][12] In the 1950s, Japan Coast Guard secured the border with Korea, but it was hard to capture illegal immigrants because they were armed while Japan Coast Guard was not due to the status as a defeated country of World War II. At that period, only one-fifth of the immigrants were arrested.[13]

The Japanese government also struggled over debts of imported foods part of which were used to feed Zainichi Koreans and an increasing number of criminal cases involving Koreans. In Official Correspondence of 1949, Shigeru Yoshida, the prime minister of Japan, proposed the deportation of all Zainichi Koreans to Douglas Macarthur and said the Japanese government would pay all of the cost. Yoshida claimed that it was unfair for Japan to purchase food for illegal Zainichi Koreans most of whom did not contribute to the Japanese economy and that many of Koreans committed political crimes cooperating with communists.[14]
