Talk:Korean profanity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Moving the wordlist to Wiktionary
This article previously contained [1] a magnificent list of Korean swearwords. However, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so it is not appropriate here. However, these word entries would fit perfectly in Wiktionary, please feel free to move them there.
You might want to look at the Latin profanity article to see what can be done to treat profanity in an encyclopedic way without using massive wordlists.

- The quality of the list was very low as well. Again, WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so please don't reinstate the list, people. --Kjoonlee 04:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] purpose of this article
The purpose of this article was to categorize those worse into several subcategories (such as, words related to genitalia, intercourse, etc.) and add etymology etc. I don't agree with deleting the list. i don't care about Wikipedian policy, i just think that including information is better than leaving the page blank. it just needs some help.

- Please reconsider. If you don't care about Wikipedian policy, you can leave Wikipedia, if you wish. And of course, WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Kjoonlee 07:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- thanks for the tip. but i still think that leaving the list is a better idea so that people can edit/update and improve it. profanity, is a big part of everyday language, and i think that there should be an article about it. what we should do is improving it, not deleting it. that's my suggestion as a newcomer to wikipedia.

- I'm sorry if I sounded harsh. I apologise. WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an experiment in rule making, so I didn't really need to brandish the rules. I'm sorry for that too. --Kjoonlee 12:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

- I do agree with Wikipedian policy, but I do believe that leaving the list on as a start in order to get it improved is better than just plainly deleting this. I would suggest putting it back, some people with good knowledge of Korean language etc should look at it and add etymologies etc. to make it a good article, but at least that list is a start...

- This isn't Everything2, folks. If it's against policy, it won't stay.
- There's nothing against an article about Korean profanity; if there's properly-researched material, go on and add it right away.
- However, beware that users adding etymologies would be against WP:OR, unless people were to look up books on Korean profanity. --Kjoonlee 10:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

- I noticed that the content of most of the articles in Category:Profanity by language was similar to the content of this article as it was before it was edited by Kjoonlee. Somebody should be BOLD and blank those pages as well. Or perhaps we can collaboratively and constructively categorize the list of ěš• with the end of making an encyclopedic article.Javiskefka 21:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
