Changing to MDY dates
We recently updated MOS:KO to include MOS:KO-DATE. This asks for MDY date format (e.g. August 15, 1945) and not DMY format (e.g. 15 August 1945) for North Korea–related articles. As this article is pretty major and high-traffic, I wanted to ask for approval before the change is made. I'll give it a week or so before going ahead with it. seefooddiet (talk) 02:41, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support – If that was the consensus, then that shall be what is done. Yue🌙 02:48, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Nvm; we just reverted the policy. We didn't know about a recent consensus on the main MOS against doing this. seefooddiet (talk) 22:06, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Map of North Korea
@Yue: Didn't North Korea just give up its claim to the South in its constitution? It is true that Pyongyang considers South Korea an enemy, but the position is completely different from 1950. If North Korea still saw itself as the sole representative of the entire peninsula, it would never consider the South as a separate country. Mail lllI (talk) 21:34, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- No, North Korea did not give up its claim over South Korea. As the source given stated, the changes to the constitution have not yet been publicly detailed. There is also a difference between acknowledging the actual situation as it is (i.e. South Korea exists and is the principal enemy), which is what Kim Jong Un has stated previously this year, and giving up North Korea's claims of territorial sovereignty. In due time, North Korea will make their position more clear, and reliable sources will report on it. At the moment, these details have not been made public, so there is no need to rush to change articles using vague information. Yue🌙 21:57, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I agree.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Every mention of "North Korea" should be changed to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or short: DPRK. North Korea is disrespectful because Korea was a united country and it was brutally ripped apart, so "North Korea" and "South Korea" should not be used. Inhabitants of the DPRK and its citizens around the world are disrespected by the term "North Korea". 조선민주주의인민공화국만세 (talk) 17:53, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Bold move leaving this unprotected
Isn’t leaving a page like this unprotected making it super vulnerable to vandalism? Dr. Precursor (talk) 22:15, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- We generally do not protect articles proactively, but only in reaction to actual patterns of disruption or vandalism. See Misplaced Pages:Protection policy. Remsense ‥ 论 22:51, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
