Encoding

Sorry, it seems that the encoding is again incorrect. How can I make always the correct encoding?

Your browser ought to automatically use the ISO-8859-1 encoding, since that's what our headers send out. If switched in auto or manually, then depending on the browser and the version, it may or may not be willing to automatically convert the Korean text as typed into Unicode-numbered character references. (Recent versions of Mozilla do.) What I do to fix them is switch the page into EUC-KR encoding (under View/Character encoding), copy the Korean bits, switch it back to Latin-1, go into edit, and paste it in, then hit save. --Brion 11:00 Oct 3, 2002 (UTC)

Place of birth

It says that this person was born in "Daegu, South Korea" in 1932. Shouldn't this be "Daikyū, Keishō Hokudō/North Keishō, Japan" instead? Taegu was part of Japan when he was born. Compare with the article about Slobodan Milošević, where Kingdom of Yugoslavia is given as place of birth (instead of Serbia, where the same geographical location is now situated).

No it should not be. No nation should be referred to by its colonial designations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.133.69 (talk) 16:32, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Reference

Is anybody know why the reference 2 has been cited here? It appears that Roh Tae-woo's religion has been referred from the reference 2, however to me, there isn't enough relevancy. Honestly, the reference 2 is a extremely biased propaganda which is almost 'praising' Roh Tae-woo and Chun Do-whan, two trators of the ROK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kidhkgg (talk • contribs) 22:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Roh Tae-woo

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Roh Tae-woo's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "newsweek":

• From Jeju Uprising: HIDEKO TAKAYAMA IN TOKYO (June 19, 2000). "Ghosts Of Cheju". newsweek. Retrieved 2009-03-30.
• From Korea under Japanese rule: Itoi, Kay; Lee, B.J. (21 February 2005). "KOREA: A TUSSLE OVER TREASURES". Newsweek. ISSN 0028-9604. Retrieved 14 May 2011.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:24, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Roh's birth year

I checked his Wikipedia profile, which it said 1933. But I researched & it said 1932.
