The illustration (flag) used in this article is from the official webpage of Gangneung. There's a © on the page, so I've added the page to Wikipedia:Possible_copyright_infringements. Kokiri 00:24, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I've now replaced the image with a cropped version, which removes the creative elements (borders, text) which could have exceeded the amount which is sufficient for the purpose of the article. Jamesday 09:13, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese placenames

The names here are not in any Chinese romanizations (Pinyin, Wade, etc): "Gangneung is twinned with the cities of...Jasing and Jingjow in China." So I assume it was translitered from Hangul directly. I guess they are Jiaxing and Jingzhou respectively. Are there Hanja to confirm this? --Menchi 00:53, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I have no Chinese characters at hand, but the way the cities are currently (19:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)) mentioned in the article, everything is clear. I have checked the spellings and provinces against a recent tourist brochure. Kokiri 19:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kangneung

I made a redirect from Kangneung. I'm assuming this is the same city. Maybe we need some more alternative spellings. --Gbleem 20:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
