[edit] Dongmyeong is not his temple name

Only Emperors/Kings of Goryeo, Joseon and Great Han (Korean Empire) has their own temple names in Korea, so King/Emperor Dongmyeong had not his temple name. Dongmyeong is posthumous name. — 韓斌/Yes0song (談笑 筆跡 다지모 한자위키 wikiblog) 13:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow

Who is the dipwad, halfwit who inserted information from the Jumong MBC TV series??? ITS DRAMA. INCREDIBLY ELABORATED. Can't you see it is a historical fiction? There are VERY FEW records of Jumong. His life is almost a mystery, and I was SHOCKED to find a Korean editor shape a Wikipedia article off a MBC drama. The story writer of this drama has even admitted its shortage of a true factual storyline. Wikipedia is not a place to incorporate fictional drama into. I believe we have gone over this stone age issue with the debate over today's gaming portrayal of the Turtle Ship. There is no more we can add to the article at this point, unless one of us is able to find some feasible evidence. Oyo321 06:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] grrrr

his temple name was chumosungwang. Dongmyungsungwang is a modern coinage. know your history, folks. Odst 04:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Never heard of that name before...do you have a reference? Oyo321 02:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming

Jumong is a much more common name than Dongmyungsungwang, and the name itself is very hard for readers who don't know Korean or aren't familiar with Korean history. Also, as far as coherence with name of articles on other kings of Goguryeo is concerned, I'd say Jumong is a special case, considering that he is the founder and his story also incorporates many mythical elements. If anything, he was an ancestral "god" much like Dangun, and his story a mythology, not an actual account of history. Cydevil 13:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Dongmyongsungwang is actually more common; Jumong has just been reintroduced with the gracious help of MBCs now ended drama "Jumong." Oyo321 02:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Current article name "Dongmyeongseong of Goguryeo" is inappropriate becasue 'Seoung' means greatness and describe king which is next character. So his name can say "Dongmyeong" or "Dongmyeong the great king" or "The Great King Dongmyeong" or just simple "King Dongmyeong (of Goguryeo)". This problem comes from misunderstanding of Chinese grammar. --Alf 03:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I moved this article to King Dongmyeong of Goguryeo . 東明聖王 can be translated into "The Great King Dong-Myeong" of Goguryeo. 聖 (Seong) is not a part of name. --Alf 08:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The page name should be "Dongmyeong of Goguryeo." See all other king articles. "King" is not necessary. MShoPar 18:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I cannot move the article. Can someone else do this?

Also, can someone make a "Monarchs of Korea" list box for Joseon, Goryeo, etc., like for Goguryeo? Thanks. MShoPar 18:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I think King Dongmyung of Goguryeo is a good name since Dongmyungseongwang is left out and "wang" is Korean for king. Good friend100 00:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Please fix all the redirects, as many double and triple redirects have been created. If a page is moved, it is up to the mover to change all these links. I have fixed the major ones, but there are tons more. SKS2K6 08:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Someone tried to be funny and wrote, "King Jumong went to Palestine and died." I don't know who wrote such bs, but let's make sure nothing like that ever happens again. This is wikipedia, a source of accurate information. NOT a site of parody or stupidity. --Kprideboi 22:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Many updates to this article!

I Wonder:

since a Korean TV series (Jumong) that has been recently finished is the reason for so many of the updates to this article, and those that are subsequent, as I see many are related to the series itself, and seem to be fact. Are there any valid outside resources that can relate that the changes made have a modicum of veracity? I personally don't think that a TV series should be used as a historical reference unless in fact, it in itself, has been made in such a way and referenced to its original sources, as fact.

[edit] OMFG

Who is the freakin retard (And disgrace for a Korean) That uses the freakin Jumong Tv series as a freakin reference, for this article??? same goes for the biryu, onjo, and yuri articles that were mesd up by that retard... The tv show was stupid, retarded, repetitive, fake, and ethnocentric-nationalistic. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARTISTIC LICENSE AND REAL HISTORY! Those who edit wikipedia for only their sheer and stupid sense of pride for Korea should leave! [I apologize in advance for any tears that are about to be shed]
