[edit] Hyphens

Please, don't put hyphen in the name. I think it needs to be discussed, but current official romanization doesn't allow - in name usually. The new romanization isn't yet widespread, and there are many old style romanizations, here and there. But I believe I should insist using the new rules for new entries of Korean names.

You have a good point, but it's worth noting that even the official website of Cheong Wa Dae hyphenates the names. [1] That's more than "here and there." Aside from which, I think there are sound reasons for hyphenating most Korean multi-syllabic words, since the syllable boundaries are often unclear to non-Korean-speakers.

[edit] Table

Let's support the table method! ü

[edit] Tables

The tables are a nice idea, but I think there are some problems... For one thing, do we really need the presidents of the Provisional Government in this article? Whatever their status, they certainly weren't the presidents of South Korea, which after all is the subject of the article... I would think a simple link to the PGROK article would suffice... Also, do we need the Korean names of the political parties? Seems like that information is best included in specific articles on the parties (where such exist)... Any thoughts? -- Visviva 02:34, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

the provisional gov't is also listed in Rulers of Korea. is the provisional gov't specifically viewed as the predecessor to the south korean gov't, & not north korea? otherwise, i think we can delete here. also, the "rulers" list includes gov't name (or is that administration name), e.g. 3rd republic, participatory government, which should be moved or copied, from there to here, i think, since this is the more specific article.

i have renamed "Rulers of Korea" into "List of Korean monarchs" to be consistent with other countries' lists, & kept the link to this article at the end of the list. the following was removed from there, in case anyone wants to integrate into this article's table:

1. 1948–1960 1st, 2nd, 3rd President 이승만(Rhee Syng-man) (The 1st Republic)
2. 1960–1962 4th President 윤보선(Yun Bo-seon))(The 2nd Republic)
3. 1963–1979 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th President 박정희(Park Chung-hee) (The 3rd/4th Republic)
4. 1979–1980 10th President 최규하(Choi Kyu-ha)
5. 1980–1988 11th, 12th President 전두환(Chun Doo-hwan) (The 5th Republic)
6. 1988–1993 13th President 노태우(Roh Tae-woo) (The 6th Republic)
7. 1993–1998 14th President 김영삼(Kim Young-sam) (The Civil Government)
8. 1998–2003 15th President 김대중(Kim Dae-jung) (The Government of the People)
9. 2003–present 16th president 노무현(Roh Moo-hyun) (The Participatory Government)

The addition of the prime minister spot to the table of presidents might also make for a bit of clutter, since although there have been 9 people that have held the job of president, there have been 37 official prime ministers.[2] It might be more useful to create a table listing prime ministers in a separate article, along with the presidents they served under, and then to link to that table/article here.--Zonath 06:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
