Reconciliation subsections

edit

I propose the "Reconciliation" section be one chronological narrative, without subsections. As it stands, there are seven short subsections covering the events of this year. The summits have their own articles, and don't need much detail here. Most of the detail is about scheduling, which is trivial with hindsight.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:48, 9 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Go ahead, Jack Upland. By the way, I think "reconciliation" is too strong a word here. Maybe just use "During Moon Jae-in administration"? – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 15:30, 9 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes, "reconciliation" seems a bit presumptuous. Perhaps "thaw". I don't think the article should be organised by the terms of SK presidents.--Jack Upland (talk) 20:23, 9 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well, I've edited the section.--Jack Upland (talk) 10:51, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Country comparison (2)

edit

I propose the removal of this section (I already did but an IP returned it). It's off-topic. This article is about the relations between these countries, not their similarities and differences. If it's an attempt at contextualization, it's exceptionally lazy: it's not prose and these details are not discussed in the rest of the article. It's also entirely unsourced and outright wrong (Kim Tu-bong was the first head of state).

These sections are not part of the guideline at Wikipedia:WikiProject International relations#Bilateral relations and searching for the archives of that project there seems to be no consensus to have these. GA class articles that I checked don't have these in the reviewer versions. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 09:08, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it should be removed. As I said before, a comparison is not a relationship. The table represents an ugly roadblock between the lead and the rest of the article. It tells us nothing that is useful in this context. Even if such a table was suitable for a bilateral relationship, which I doubt, Korea is a special case. And the details are debatable. Who is the current head of state? Kim Jong Un? Kim Yong Nam? Kim Il Sung???--Jack Upland (talk) 09:39, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I've removed it.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:38, 27 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
I've removed it again.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:32, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Essay–like?

Dylan Smithson, can you explain why you tagged this article? What is the issue? Are there examples? This article has been written by multiple people, so it can't reflect one editor's opinion.--Jack Upland (talk) 23:19, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I agree with Jack Upland, the tagging doesn't appear to be valid. Mztourist (talk) 03:26, 2 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
There being no explanation, I will remove the tag. If there are stylistic problems, they should be dealt with individually.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:30, 11 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

North Korea–South Korea relationsInter-Korean relations – Since the term "Inter-Korean relations" is being more widely used over "North Korea–South Korea relations" (for example, in this, this, and this), I guess this article should be moved to "Inter-Korean relations". Since I've given supporting evidence on the term "Inter-Korean relations" being more widely used over "North Korea–South Korea relations", if you want this article to be moved to "Inter-Korean relations", please reply. 69.160.29.28 (talk) 04:46, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Allan Rice, are you sure you mean "oppose"?--Jack Upland (talk) 16:40, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Consistency is irrelevant because other examples cannot be expressed as "Inter...", nor do they have repetition.--Jack Upland (talk) 16:40, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Alternative: change the name to "North Korea—South Korea—Marilyn Monroe".
  • Strong Oppose The current title is consistent with the naming convention between two sovereign nations. Just because they're similarly named with historical ties to each other is irrelevant. TrueCRaysball | #RaysUp 01:36, 16 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
