Hello.
The
Goguryeo article says that king Jangsu named the country 'Goryeo' based on
this source. What was the name of the country before that? can someone please translate the following lines from the previous source:

《삼국사기(三國史記)》〈고구려본기(高句麗本紀)〉에 따르면 기원전 37년 부여계인 동명왕(東明王)이 졸본(卒本)에 도읍해 나라의 이름을 졸본부여로 한 것이 기원이며,
This sentence is from

I am trying to write an article on this organization, which is a pro-DPRK group in the PRC, however, I am having trouble finding sources in English. There is a Korean language wiki article, but my attempts to use Google translate don't really help.

Greetings WikiProject Korea/Archive 15 Members!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 18:02, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
There seems to be a lot of rumor about how legal/tolerated cannabis/marijuana is in North Korea, so I've done what I can to cut through the secondary-source chatter and get back to the original reports everyone else is discussing. I don't know it there's any more authoritative data out there, but I'd invite anyone who can to help build this, particularly if anyone is able to read South Korean news sources or academic journals that may discuss this.
Industrial hemp is also within the bounds of the article, so feel free to talk about the cannabis fibre economy if there are sources. Anyone here up to write an accompanying Cannabis in South Korea? Goonsquad LCpl Mulvaney ( talk) 03:39, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

I'm working on the article Glen Check (band) and have come across a pretty in-depth interview conducted by mintpaper.com.

(See Talk:Spoon class theory# This article needs a lot of work.)
Spoon class theory is largely incoherent and in many places unreadable, thanks to sentences like this:
That isn't English.
According to the history, it was apparently translated by Yunseon Choi at 08:06, 21 November 2016 from ko:사용자:Yunseon Choi/연습장 and heavily edited down.
The article is also an orphan, which increases its chances of deletion.
I don't know any Korean -- I can only recognize Hangul when I see it, which is pretty easy -- so I can't check the sources, but some people in this WikiProject probably can. The translation must be reviewed or redone by someone with adequate knowledge of English. As an educated native speaker of English, I'll be willing to review the revised article if necessary ( {{ping}} me), but only if I can work with one or more Korean-speakers, to check the accuracy of any changes I make. -- Thnidu ( talk) 03:27, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

User:ZERO2CT recently created this article about a controversial Korean feminist internet forum. There are clear POV issues; when I first encountered the article, it referred to its denizens as "feminazis", and it still contains several rather extreme allegations that I have no way of verifying, as I can't read Korean. I've done some cleanup, but the article probably needs to be completely restructured. People who can read Korean-language sources are sorely needed. — 0xF8E8 ( talk) 21:48, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Archive 15/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Korea.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Korea, and what articles may be deserving of more attention.

Hello everyone! Sorry if I'm doing this wrong. This is my first time trying to make any significant changes to a Wikipedia page. Feel free to post (or message me) any tips about how I should be doing this.
Can some folks help clean up the Korean Verbs ( /info/en/?search=Korean_verbs) page? It's inaccurate to a fairly extreme level. Things as basic as how to create the past tense and make a verb negative (I fixed the negative thing). I don't know enough about linguistics yet to correct a lot of it, but I know enough to see how bad it is. I stumbled upon the page when I was trying to find an explanation of 더냐. When I got here I saw that the explanation couldn't possibly be correct (just from my own knowledge of Korean grammar, as 더 has to do with something you directly observe and 냐 is the question form for indirect reported speech) and then saw that huge portions of the page were inaccurate.

In Wikimedia Commons there is the following tag for some works by the DPRK that are in the public domain: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:PD-North_Korea
Which says that some works are in the public domain, according to the Copyright Law of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, enacted 2001, amended 2006: http://www.wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/laws/en/kp/kp001en.pdf
This law among other things says:
The language is somewhat vague as to whether the exclusion of copyright of news also applies to news images published by KCNA.
Maybe I am splitting hairs here, but maybe article 14.2 has some bearing on this:
KCNA-published pictures have no author attribution. Would this be further indication that the DPRK considers them in them to be free of copyright?
I am asking this to the community because I have some interest in uploading images published by KCNA into Wikimedia Commons as I feel there is a lack of imagery on North Korea in numerous wikipedia articles (and I don't see why the broader dissemination of their officially published images would run against their interests, quite the contrary), but want to first seek others' opinions. (Note: this question was originally posted in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Korea/North Korea, but I have not received any responses. I thought I woudl re-post it here where there may be more editors contributing). Thank you.( talk) user:Al83tito 22:35, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

I think the Korean Wikipedia community is hosting some events related to 3rd anniversairy of sorts, and at least something of it may be English-language related because they are hosting an international guest, see https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%9C%84%ED%82%A4%EB%B0%B1%EA%B3%BC:Asaf_Bartov%EC%99%80%EC%9D%98_%EC%BB%A4%EB%AE%A4%EB%8B%88%ED%8B%B0_%EB%AF%B8%ED%8C%85 .

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.
A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Korea
