[edit] Re: Korean Language

The page you directed is written in Korean. The Chinese characters there are just Chinese translation of the key words. Koreans don't use Chinese characters any more. If you don't like my wording, you can change it to some softer ones, but don't simply revert other people's edit which actually is more accurate. Migye 16:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, if you're familiar with Hanja, you'll realize that the use of Hanja is very different from translations; they're closer to the use of Latin or Greek roots in English. As for the use of Hanja in modern Korea, just look at Korean newspapers. Here are some links: http://www.chosun.com/ http://www.joins.com/ http://www.dongailbo.co.kr/ http://www.mk.co.kr/ As of this writing, all four newspapers have some Hanja in their headlines or snippets.

If you'd like to discuss this further, the best place would be Talk:Korean language. Thanks. --Kjoonlee 16:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't see what is your point, but the websites you provided are all in Korean characters. There are 5 Chiense characters in the last one. But they all can be replaced by Korean characters. Migye 16:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, I'll explain. :) You said Koreans don't use Chinese characters anymore, but I've shown you examples of Chinese characters being used. You admit it's true.
Whether they can be replaced by Korean characters is besides the point. The use of 佛 or 佛蘭西 for France, for example, shows that Hanja are far from abandoned. --Kjoonlee 16:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV pushing

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Korean language. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. --Kjoonlee 16:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Kjoonlee 16:35, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

As I said there, it is a content dispute. Please take it to the proper dispute resolution channels. --InShaneee 04:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
