Talk:Proto–Three Kingdoms period

Inconsistent dates[edit]

There is a serious problem here. The text says, "Generally considered the first three centuries of the Common Era,...," whereas the time-line used here and generally in Korean history articles says

Proto-Three Kingdoms: 108–57 BC

Buyeo, Okjeo, Dongye
Samhan: Ma, Byeon, Jin

Recent page move[edit]

I think the article should not have been moved. As "proto-" is a prefix and not an independent word, shouldn't it be hyphnated rather than endashed per WP:ENDASH? It says "An en dash is not used ... with an element that lacks lexical independence (the prefix Sino- in Sino-Japanese trade)". --Kusunose 00:43, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the rest of ENDASH. A prefix to an open compound (but not a hyphenated compound) is dashed, as in "post–World War II". — kwami (talk) 02:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I missed that part. Thank you for the explanation. --Kusunose 02:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Deor is quite correct, so it seems the proposer just did not read MOS:ENDASH carefully enough. Andrewa (talk) 02:38, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Proto–Three Kingdoms of KoreaProto-Three Kingdoms of Korea – 'Proto-' is a prefix. You do not use an en dash here. 14.200.68.118 (talk) 17:43, 11 May 2014 (UTC) 14.200.68.118 (talk) 17:43, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. MOS:ENDASH says that an en dash is used "instead of a hyphen, when applying a prefix (but not a suffix) to a compound that includes a space". In this case, the prefix proto- is being applied to the compound "Three Kingdoms", not just to three. The situation is exactly parallel to the "pre–World War II" example given in the MOS.
