Revision as of 10:44, 19 July 2016

Hi, the article Korean name is undergoing a Featured Article Review right now. As far as I can tell, it's the only Korea-related Featured Article, and I doubt it can survive the way it is now. I noticed you worked on this article before, so I hope you can help now, and maybe continue on to make one or two more Korea-related Featured Articles eventually. Maybe you can contact others who may be interested, since it's not getting much attention right now. Thanks. Chuniac (talk) 18:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Hyung

'Hyung' (older brother) is a Goguryeo orignated word correct? Kuebie (talk) 22:20, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Goguryeo language

Hi there, I noticed that you've made posts about the article on Goguryeo language a few times recently. I thought that I'd offer my assistance in improving the article since you apparently haven't been getting much help; I hold a degree in general linguistics after all, so I can probably help dig through some literature on the subject (though fair warning; I'd probably only be capable of comprehending linguistics literature written in English). —/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 00:36, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Moved the table to Buyeo languages. I wonder about some of them, though. Middle Korean genitive nʲ: How would that have even been written? Also the ɐ's seemed odd, or at least I've never seen them, so I assumed they were ʌ or ə. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, the iso code for Silla, oko, is also the code for Old Korean. That's why I had both names in the table. — kwami (talk) 14:32, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Wiman

Hi Jagello, I've recently created a move request for Wei Man and was hoping if you'd take a look and comment on it. Kuebie (talk) 22:16, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Jeju dialect

Please consider what the article says before deleting. In your edit summary, you say, "The language Infobox contains orginal research: categorizing Jeju to altaic language familly. And Koreanic languages as a language familly is against the majority view." However, the infobox does not categorize Jeju as Altaic (any more than the Korean article does), and it does not claim that it's Koreanic, it claims that it's Korean. Since you agree that Jeju dialect is Korean, you agree with the infobox, so you would appear to have no basis for deletion. Your claim of OR seems to be spurious. — kwami (talk) 00:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Answered on my talk page. The table is correct for Jeju being a dialect of Korean, and matches your POV re. Jeju. — kwami (talk) 00:26, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Compare the dialects of Chinese, or German, or anything else: the dialects of Yue, say, are given the same color as Chinese as a whole, and their superior node in the classification is Yue. Korean is a normal human language, and should be treated the same as other human languages: dialects of Korean share the family/sprachbund color of Korean, and Korean (or in some cases Central or NW Korean) is the superior node. If I had fam1=Altaic it would be a different matter, as that has not been established to everyone's satisfaction, but no-one disputes that Jeju is a variety of Korean. If green is not an acceptable color for Jeju, it is not an acceptable color for Korean either, yet green is what we have. The code in the box is 'Altaic', but nothing in the box tells the reader that: green can be taken as a sprachbund, the same as Caucasian, Papuan, Australian, and American are. — kwami (talk) 00:29, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Silla / Old Korean

What is the difference between Silla and Old Korean that you are proposing?

According to the ISO codes, oko is both Old Korean and Silla.

Is Silla considered a dialect of Old Korean? If so, we should removed the ISO code from that article. Is Old Korean a language family that includes Silla? If so, we should remove the ISO code from that article. Are they different historical stages of the same language? If so, we should make that clear. Are they different names for the same language, as the ISO code states? If so, the articles should be merged. Or, do we perhaps not know whether Sillan and Old Korean were the same thing? — kwami (talk) 03:32, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Since both Ethnologue and Linguist List say that Sillan is an alt name for OK, I left the code in the box but made it clear that it was for OK, and clarified further in the text. Also noted that OK may have been a language family rather than a single language, since Sillan, Koguryo, and Paekche are generally presented as languages. — kwami (talk) 03:52, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 12

Hi. When you recently edited Buyeo kingdom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nongan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Misplaced Pages account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Jagello, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Misplaced Pages administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Misplaced Pages policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Misplaced Pages community.
