[edit] YA Entertainment

Someone who claims to not be directly affiliated with the company has created the page, which seems a bit...fishy. To me, it reads sort of like a company page, mostly because it lists all of the dramas it has translated and released on DVD. Many of the articles for the dramas were created by the same user, and they usually have a YA-created synopsis plus a link to the YA Entertainment page for the drama, in essence making it an advertisement. The user claims to have permission from YA to use their materials, but there is no proof. I am writing this here as a heads-up, and for some help in cleaning up these pages. I have done a few, but there are a lot. And I have no idea what to do with the YA page, so any input would be appreciated. SKS2K6 20:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fly to the Sky

Fly to the Sky was rated as a Good article about a year ago. But Wikiproject Korea template doesn't show this. The closest thing to GA is A-class and B-class. mirageinred 22:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New user activity on various K-pop pages

Both Letsfightinglove (talk page) and Her2manshizz (talk page) are repeatedly uploading promotional/copyright images and are putting them on as many pages as possible, ignoring any warnings. Also, once Letsfightinglove was warned, activity stopped on the account while the second user was created. Is anyone able to check IPs?...or where would I be able to ask?

I tried to undo as much as possible, prodding most of the Baby VOX rev solo pages, and at least tagging the images under {{replaceablefairuse}}, but there's probably a lot more out there.... SKS2K6 07:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cocktail Love

I think this song deserves own article, because it has been covered by several Korean artists. My Korean isn't enough good to write about what the song tells, but I know Maronnier member Kim Seon Min wrote it because it says on the note sheet I have. Monni 20:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Korean drama articles

I've just been through Category:South Korean television drama, tagging all articles as part of this Wikiproject - sad to see so many articles with multiple cleanup tags! Amongst all the other problems, I noticed a few duplicate articles that require merging:

Did We Really LoveTrue to Love Y Done. PC78 19:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Rooftop Room CatAttic Cat Y Done. PC78 02:13, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Something Happened in BaliWhat Happened in Bali Y Done. PC78 02:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

All done. Turned out to be more straightforward than I thought. PC78 02:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Da Hui Cho

The notability of this article is in question. Is this real, or just someone writing themselves into wiki-fame? The only references to him on the internet are copies of this article. Totnesmartin 14:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Let me know if this article should be deleted. The page was blanked, then tagged for speedy deletioh with no reason given. Looks to be a non-notable subject, but I would like to be sure before deleting or putting it up for AfD. Dreadstar 03:15, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Translation sources

Hello all. I'm hoping to find some reliable sources for translations of Korean entertainment news articles into English that also have links to the original Korean articles, in the hopes they could be used as cited sources. I realize such a secondary source isn't ideal. I found a blog krnloop that, to my non-Korean-reading self, seems to be dedicated to translation without adding on all kinds of personal comments and which could potentially be a source (unlike a blog like, say, Popseoul, which is clearly not acceptable as a source). I'd also love English versions of Korean news sources, like KBS Global but haven't found any others besides Korea Times. Can anyone help? --Hamuhamu (talk) 15:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
