I looked at the edit history and archives, and I still don't understand why the Sea of Japan is ordered first in this list. That's only referred to as the "East Sea" in the context of Korea as a direct translation of the Korean-language term, which is not used in English. Something similar naturally occurs with "East Sea" to refer to the East China Sea when talking about China. And lately Vietnam is trying to push "East Sea" for the South China Sea to justify its territorial claims on islands that China administers there. But in terms of what native English-speakers are more likely to hear, it's the Baltic Sea, Dead Sea, or Mare Oriental. Is it ]-style ] in the face of a ]-like stained disruption campaign? ] (]) 17:43, 29 October 2012 (UTC) |

*'''Oppose''' the East China Sea is quite likely as well, and English usage in Vietnam shows the South China Sea as the East Sea. Since it's only South Korea, which is not an English speaking locality using "East Sea" as the Sea of Japan, this is not an English-locality usage. Further, the Atlantic Ocean is also referred to as the East Sea or Eastern Sea, in poetry and other uses in North America. And the Pacific Ocean is also called the East Sea in poetry and other uses from ANZ, and China and Japan. -- ] (]) 00:11, 21 March 2013 (UTC) |

*'''Oppose'''. East Sea is totally ambiguous in English, and needs context to pin down. In East Asian English-language usage alone, East Sea could refer to the East China Sea for Chinese, to the Sea of Japan for Koreans, to the Pacific Ocean for Japanese, and to the South China Sea for Vietnamese. Also, the ] is referred to the East Sea in Germany, Sweden, and Finland. ] (]) 00:31, 21 March 2013 (UTC) |

* '''Comment''' I, like Emmette Hernandez Coleman, assumed the Sea of Japan was the primary meaning, having never seen East Sea used without qualification elsewhere bar in poetry and direct translations of Chinese mythology. A quick google search seems to reenforce that most uses refer to the Sea of Japan (or more specifically, most refer to the naming dispute, followed by those just referring to the body of water). This site is supposed to cater to those using English, not Chinese or Danish. Now potentially I've just been isolated from these alternative usages, so I'd appreciate it if examples of these alternatives were posted in the debate to back up claims of equal contention. ] (]) 16:23, 21 March 2013 (UTC) |

::::Hong Kong is an English speaking locality, while the Koreas are not, so, if in Hong Kong English, "East Sea" is used to refer to the East China Sea, then that should be considered more highly weighted than a Korean usage, as it is an English dialect, and not just something put out by a non-English locality. -- ] (]) 23:18, 21 March 2013 (UTC) |
