• ... that one of the founders of the Tokyo Korean restaurant Saikabo is known as the "Kimchi Professor"? Source: [1] Title of the article is "The 'Kimchi Professor', who introduces the taste of Korean cabbage to Japan"

  • Comment: Please help me with the nom I reviewed; think it needs more pairs of eyes.

Created by Toobigtokale (talk). Self-nominated at 09:09, 4 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Saikabo; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article is new and looks in good shape with most parts of it cited. QPQ done; I think the coordinator that closed it supported your concerns so it doesn't need another pair of eyes. Hook is also supported in the article with a citation to a reputable foreign newspaper article (though a machine translated copy says "Doctor Kimchi" instead of "Kimchi Professor").--ZKang123 (talk) 05:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Thank you! The machine translation is accurate; the "doctor" vs "medical doctor" distinction in English is roughly the same in Korean with 박사 and 의사. I figured "Professor" was less ambiguous. toobigtokale (talk) 09:48, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

quick question

@Toobigtokale: what's up with the name "Cheogabang"? is it an alternate transliteration? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 23:03, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

It's treating the Japanese Kanji as Korean Hanja, which can be read as 처가방 (Cheogabang). Cheogabang is an established word in Korean. If I remember right, in one or two Korean-language articles they display both names (but using the Korean transliteration of Saikabo, 사이카보, as the common name) and showing Cheogabang to show what the name means. toobigtokale (talk) 01:04, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
