Ordering of items

User:Appletrees showed items should be aligned by alphabets at disambiguity pages though, he revised at his own popularity. his changing doesn't match his own rule. I can't agree with him. --Yuan.C.Lee (talk) 15:56, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Yuan.C.Lee has pushed his OWN RULE to this page along with SNU article. Seoul National University has notability among the university and I haven't said anything abut East Sea. If I follow your rule, I said I need to change Dokdo placed first. And please don't insult me with your absurd claims.--Appletrees (talk) 16:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

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 about.com-style defeatism in the face of a VANK-like stained disruption campaign? Shrigley (talk) 17:43, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

East Sea → East Sea (disambiguation) – Primary use seems to be to refer to the Sea of Japan, so East Sea should redirect there Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:58, 20 March 2013 (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.
