[edit] Discussion moved from peer review

I have read this article and proposed some improvement:

• Add the full content of the drama in a new article.
• Open a new article: Dae Jang-gum Fever, to describe how this drama affects Japan, ROK, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Chicago.

Is it OK? --Cheung1303 03:17, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• The second new article you suggest sounds very interesting and worthwhile! I'm not so sure about the first one, it might be considered "fancruft". But the purpose of peer review is to bring articles up to Featured standard (see instructions on this page). Dae Jang-gum is too short for that, and the new articles you propose wouldn't take it any closer to Featured standard, since they're not changes to the article itself. Seems to me that your questions would go better on the article's talk page than on peer review—you would probably get more response there. Would you like to make your suggestions on Talk:Dae Jang-gum instead? Or just be bold, go ahead and create the new articles! Bishonen | Talk 17:55, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

End moved discussion.

[edit] Official Title

Dae Jang Geum seems to be a more correct transliteration of the show's name. Would you consider moving the page there?

Evidence:

• http://english.tour2korea.com/02Culture/TVMiniseries/daejangguem.asp?kosm=m2_6&konum=1
• http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1003946777/section-videos/code-k/version-all/

In English sources, the capitalization of the G and the dash are not universally used, but Jang Geum with an E is definitely the preferred (and official) usage. I'm going to be bold and move this. --Euniana 02:59, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The official usage is really not accepted by many people. I mean, the Chinese name for Seoul is now 首爾, but many people still call it 漢城 (Hanseong). I believe we should revert the title back to its original, and add the variations of the title into the name. O BTW, which channel aired this show in Chicago? --Arbiteroftruth 07:01, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Opening lines in the Philippines

Do we really need this kind of information? Even if it is verifiable, I fail to see its encyclopedic value. -- Visviva 13:23, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to the Commercial Success section

I corrected the commercial success section to indicate the ratings that it achieved in China, South Korea and Hong Kong. The rationale is that these information has more to do with commercial success than a listing of various version of the songs that was sang.

In fact, I will invite others to fill in what ratings it has achieved in Japan, Thailand and Philippines.

The paragraphs about songs should be moved to the Song section as it is not relevant to "commercial success". Ratings is something you will use to gauge success not songs.

Do you guys agree?

Apparently, the original author deleted my text and replaced it with the old one. Can we have a compromise here where you shift what you have to the song section and put in the statistical data in the "commercial success section".

I found out that the opening theme is part of the Track 2 in the soundtrack... but I don't know its title in Korean, only Chinese (苍龙) 202.156.6.54 12:10, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trimming The Article

Do we really need all of those lyrics? It really makes the page look more like fan cruft.

If no one objects, I will delete all the Lyrics, and the opening lines section.Arbiteroftruth 11:46, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! -- Visviva 13:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, that is if you can get the "fan" to agree. He/She keeps overturning what I've modified! Is there a way to include this into peer review or put this article under need for improvement?

Well, it appears that "fan" you have just mentioned isn't reverting the changes. This page is saved.

[edit] Removal of lyrics

It means I have to go to the History section to see them again. Is it bloating the article? It does not look like fan craft to me... of course, the choice is yours. 202.156.6.54 13:28, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Lyrics violate copyright. Removal is necessary.--陈鼎翔 贡献 ^{和 CCD} Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 04:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

101.156.6.54, you can go to other websites for that. Arbiteroftruth 00:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Somebody added the lyrics information again. I am hereby considering it vandalism and will be dealt with according to plans Arbiteroftruth 05:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
