Korean name[edit]

I don't understand what makes the Korean name of the National Assembly of South Korea particularly relevant here. Those who want to know the name can easily find it in that article. -- Visviva 13:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

At least they can after I fix that link. -- Visviva 13:09, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

But that is not a reason not to mention it here. Electionworld 22:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There is no reason to put it in bold; if it is in bold, it looks like this article is more relevant to the NA than to the president. Wikipeditor 15:05, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

2006-04-17 cleanup[edit]

(diff) I liked it better the way it was before.

When deleting information, it is always a good idea to state why you have removed it – for example, it makes a difference whether you think it is not important, or whether you can confirm it is wrong.

I particularly think it is wrong to deal with two or more contradictory sources by simply ignoring one of them; I am sure that the edit has been done in good faith, and that there is some reason for the deletion. I am by no means an expert on the topic and have obviously simply written what I've found elsewhere on the WP. If you know that one of the sources is wrong, you should

state that in your edit summary and
also correct the wrong WP article that has been used as a source.

This helps to avoid confusion. Wikipeditor 16:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for the rude remark in the edit summary. However, I don't think it's appropriate to treat a Wikipedia article as a reliable source... which means we don't need to report on discrepancies between our own articles in the article text. That's really a job for the talk page. But also, the major discrepancy wasn't really a discrepancy at all; the initial election was held in May, and the presidential election in July. Thus the article seemed unnecessarily hard to understand.

I also apologize for the sloppiness of that edit; I was rather tired at the time. :-) I have gone back and trimmed everything in the 1948 presidential election that I cannot verify independently, which I'm afraid is rather a lot. We really need better sources here. -- Visviva 01:07, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
