Wikipedians in Daejeon is created, let's discuss about Daejeon together.

[edit] Spelling of the name

In English, it seems "Daejeon" is also often spelled "Taejon". Is there a rule or convention that makes one spelling more correct than the other? Should the article not mention both? — SomeHuman 21 Nov 2006 05:58 (UTC)

Yes there is. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean), per which we use the Revised Romanization of Korean (at least in non-North-Korean articles). According to that system, the correct spelling is "Daejeon." "Taejon" (or more properly "Taejŏn") is the spelling under the McCune-Reischauer system, which was in use in South Korea from 1987 to 2000. Since that spelling is still widely used, the article should mention it -- but only mention it. Cheers, -- Visviva 06:22, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. This considered, I assume its mentioning in the 'infobox Korean city' will suffice. — SomeHuman 21 Nov 2006 17:12 (UTC)
