Template talk:Territorial disputes in East and South Asia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Baekdu Mountain
I removed Baekdu Mountain from the template. To the best of my knowledge, none of the governments in the region are disputing any territory administered by any of the other governments. And it's not a situation where there's government in exile. It seems the only thing is that "some Korean groups" have a problem with what the Chinese government has been doing in the territory that it administers. But that hardly makes a territorial dispute.

- I restored Mount Baekdu. CIA's World Fact Book says in 'Field Listing - Disputes - international' that "a section of boundary around Mount Paektu is considered indefinite". Its sovereignty may not be actively disputed but not settled. If you want to remove South Korea from claimants, I wont oppose, though. I also changed a link to the region to a link to the dispute. This template is for territorial disputes. --Kusunose 16:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

- But there's no evidence it was ever disputed. Thus it's not an inactive dispute at all. It just has an undefined borderline. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 16:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Till now I've been going with whatever is listed on List of territorial disputes#In Asia and the Pacific. If you believe this isn't a territorial dispute, might I suggest changing the list? -Loren 16:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Already done when I made the edit on this template[1]. Anyway, my point is that there's no evidence the Chinese and North Korean governments actually dispute the territory, or what parts of the territory they each control. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 17:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Inaccurate title?
The template suggests that it deals with East and South Asia, but it also includes Southeast Asia. Perhaps, the template should be renamed Territorial disputes in South Asia and Asia Pacific? __earth (Talk) 14:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
