[edit] Romanisation of North Korean articles

Hi! You have moved many North Korean topics from the McCune-Reischauer Romanisation to the Revised Romanisation. In North Korea is the McCune-Reischauer Romanisation still the official system and because of that, North Korean topics should be using the McCune-Reischauer-System. Please read the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean)#Romanization and revert your changes. Thanks, IGEL 15:03, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

To my memory I haven't done any North Korean specific stuff. North Korean uses a variant of McCune-Reischauer only. However, my reading of the naming conventions for Korean romanization indicates M-R is only to be used for specifically North Korean topics (meaning post 1948), not topics that may relate to what is present day North Korea but were not at the time they took place (e.g. Gwanggaeto, Goguryeo, etc.).

[edit] infobox & romanization

hi, i noticed you contributing a lot to korean history topics. thanks for the great work. just wondering if you'd like to take up creating a single flexible infobox that can be used for monarchs from various periods, with various combinations of personal/posthumous/temple/courtesy names. right now, it's a mess, & i've just had to create one (posthumous+birth) just for goguryeo. visviva's figured out how, but hasn't actually gotten around to making one (see korean mos & talk). also, is the romanization for Yeong'yang of Goguryeo correct? i didn't know rr used apostrophes. thanks.

[edit] Hi

I'd like to echo the welcomes above. It's great to have you around.

In particular, I'd like to thank you for your expansion of Choe Chi-won. But in the future, please do have a care to use Wikipedia:Requested moves when you want to move an article to a different name and are unable to do so by normal means. Happy editing! -- Visviva 10:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi again, just wanted to say thanks for all of your editing, especially your recent improvements to Gyerim and Bone rank system. Great stuff! -- Visviva 10:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] new Portal:Korea

User:Visviva has worked hard to create a brand new Portal:Korea. Please take a look & contribute if you can. I think the new Template:Korea topics has the potential to be a more useful reference tool than categories or lists, if editors continue to expand and update it. It's also a good reminder for help & requests on ye olde notice board. Hopefully, this will help revive some activity all around. Appleby 22:16, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hwarang

i hope you don't mind, but i tried to clean up this article a little more. i know you worked on it a lot after the anonymous editor's huge, er, dump, but there was still a lot of commentary, thinking-out-loud wordiness, as well as logical flow problems. since i'm no expert on the subject & have not read the sources you cited, please feel free to make sure i didn't interfere with your researched info. thanks. Appleby 01:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

you might want to leave your comment at goguryeo, & help keep an eye on it; that page has been under constant attack recently. thanks. Appleby 04:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your move

Great that you renamed the article. I just realized that you just cut and pasted the contents into an article with the new name. That means that the edit history of the article has disappeared. It might be a good idea to contact an administrator to set this right.--Niohe 16:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jules Brunet photo

Hi Straitgate. I think I found the image on a website a long time ago, and it is Public Domain because of its age. Would you share the name of the other Frenchman you are researching? I may be of some help. Best regards. PHG 05:51, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
