I removed the sentence " But there is new evidence that North Korean and Chinese POWs had been subjected to screenings where they were forced to declare that they were unwilling to return to their communist countries. " If someone can find a reference for this claim, it should be included in the pedia somewhere, although probably not in this article. -- Visviva 13:27, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Flag Pole

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag <- something regarding what is mentioned there as Panmunjeom as the home of the largest flagpole should be mentioned.

It seems to actually be at Kijong-dong, but I'm no expert. --MyUsername 06:16, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The flagpole is not inside the Joint Security Area (JSA), commonly referred to as Panmunjom. It is indee located at Propaganda Village Kijong-dong, on the North Korean side of the DMZ. wbfergus 16:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)wbfergus

[edit] Joint Security Area confused with ?

"It should not be confused with the Joint Security Area (JSA) nearby" Does "it" refer to Panmunjeom or the building. I'm confused. Also one of the pictures refers to "Panmunjeom, Joint Security Area" which emplies to me that Panmunjeom is in the Joint Security Area. --Gbleem 12:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs some data moved around

Since there is so much confusion about Panmunjom vs. the Joint Security Area, how about this only refers to the now defunct village, while most of the content on this page gets moved into the Joint Security Area page? --wbfergus 18:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, after looking at it for a couple days, I think the best course will be to move the "Incidents" portion over to the Joint security Area page. The incidents (and the pictures) are of the JSA itself, not the village of Panmunjom. Both pages though should make mention of the confusion (interchangability) of the names, with links to the other pages(s). I think this will help alleviate some of the misperceptions. --wbfergus wbfergus 13:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
