Grammar-Spelling-Writing[edit]

We need to thoroughly review the entire article. There are uncountable mistakes, regardless of whether it is a mistranslation, or a mistake they need fixed. The biggest issue is lack of conciseness, and readers are not here to read fluff. JamesJohnsonJo (talk) 01:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians, please stay away from flowery language and promotional tidbits. It almost reads as if the City of Seoul had its employees edit this page to include promotional information handed down. This page does not exist to convince readers of how great Seoul is. Jourdy345 (talk) 11:39, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture section[edit]

Another ask: I think the architecture section needs a significant rewrite. It mostly just names buildings, without much explanation of how the city designs/regulates the designs of buildings. Compare to London#Architecture. We can name drop a few of the most notable buildings, but only in appropriate context.

Anyone up for this? toobigtokale (talk) 21:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

Biggest issue is sources. Grammar and formatting is easy to fix. Please feel free to delete unsourced stuff if you can replace it with your own sourced writing.

Please don't add anymore unsourced writing; article has too much already toobigtokale (talk) 22:26, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please, these issues still need solving people :( toobigtokale (talk) 14:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still outstanding... Maybe in 6 months I can try to take this up, but fr it's depressing to be one of the only people tackling major issues on Korea-related articles. toobigtokale (talk) 22:31, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same with Korean military articles. Still having problems with lack of sources. Cheer up Gasiseda (talk) 20:47, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Everything about Korea on Wikipedia that isn't about war or pop culture is in a sorry state. These kinds of articles that appeal to general audiences need a lot of attention that they're not getting. toobigtokale (talk) 08:20, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Improvement[edit]

The article is thankfully slowly improving since my (toobigtokale) initial messages. It is still unsourced in some portions and missing a chunk of info, but hopeful that we'll get there. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 16:30, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
