[edit] Hangul

How is the name of this monument written in Hangul? GeeJo _{(t) (c)} • 09:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It seems to be 개선문, but I'm not 100 % sure whether this is the name used by officials and locals in Pyongyang. I've added it anyway.—Wikipeditor 11:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Official use confirmed. A few Pyongyang placenames are mentioned here.—Wikipeditor 18:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Victory"

Why is victory in quotes? I mean, it's obvious that the author intended that it was not a real victory, and perhaps just a sustained resistance, but such a thing can be construed as POV. I'll try to reword it.--Aleron235 01:00, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Largest arch?

the Grande Arche at la Defence in Paris is 110 meters high.
