[edit] RfC: Categories and description
For the purpose of wider comment on this issue, I added the {{RFChist}} template.
- Should he be described as a "nationalist" or "independence activist"?
- Should he be in category Category:Korean assassins and Category:Criminals who committed suicide due to his murder of Durham Stevens?
I have no particular opinion on #1, and favour #2. Regards, cab (talk) 16:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- The best way to determine #1 would be to find modern (not 1908) sources with no discernible bias, and check whether they call him "nationalist" or "independence activist". Personally I suspect the former, but it's a wait-and-see kind of thing. #2: He most certainly committed an assassination, whether some try to justify it, or even whether it was justified, doesn't make it less of an assassination. "Criminal" is a loaded word, but here it means "persons convicted of a crime" and is thus factual. <eleland/talkedits> 16:38, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- Wait, why not "Jang In-hwan was a Korean nationalist and independence activist"? <eleland/talkedits> 16:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- both have Generally the same meaning, but the word "nationalism" is too much a sensitive word to use in the 21st century. o.d.s.t. : feet first into hell (talk) 06:05, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Plagiarism
It seems a man by the name of Jung Sung-ki over at the Korea Times liked this article so much he lifted it verbatim and had it reprinted under his own name without giving us credit as required by the GFDL:
- Jung, Sung-ki (2008-03-03), “Independent Activist Jang In-hwan Honored”, Korea Times, <http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/special/special_view.asp?newsIdx=20010&categoryCode=178>. Retrieved on 22 March 2008
Please do not tag this article as {{db-copyvio}}; Wikipedia's article predates the Korea Times by four months: [1]. cab (talk) 04:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
