Engrish in the article

I've tried fixing it up, but there are many sentences that I really can't even guess the meaning of. I've got a feeling that this was Google translated from the Korean article. Can a Korean speaker try to fix this? It's mostly prevalent in the Controversy section. The Verified Cactus 100% 15:51, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Northwest Youth Association?

The article uses the term "Northwest Youth Association". Does it refer to the Northwest Youth League mentioned earlier? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:00, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you could easily translate 서북청년회 both ways. I usually lean toward Northwest Youth Association. Junganghansik (talk) 13:27, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The term massacre

This term is not well referenced, and is introduced in a surprising place - in the sentence that states that US documented, but not intervened in the massacre. What massacre? The article mentions it later several times, but nowhere does it clearly refer to which event(s) are the massacre(s). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:04, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The term used to be introduced in the lede, refers generally to the government actions, and is easily referenceable to reliable sources (besides the titles of some of the refs, there are also many one can find with a simple GSearch, e.g. this NYT article). Unfortunately, just today a fellow editor considered the lede cumbersome and now the random reader runs into the term wondering what is that about.Anonimu (talk) 17:51, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is a complicated term, as there were several separate massacre incidents starting in 1947 until at least 1950, and the conditions that made the massacres possible remained in place until 1954. The whole chapter of history is probably best called the "Jeju Uprising and Massacres." As for what the Americans knew and their involvement, the evidence isn't all there yet. Some point the finger at the US military government, and others whitewash their role, with the absolute truth being somewhere in between. Junganghansik (talk) 13:33, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
