[edit] Article title

Any reason this page isn't located at Yatagarasu? — BrianSmithson 14:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• Well it started out as being about 3-legged birds in East Asian countries, since then its scope seems to have become narrower. Kappa 15:00, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

We should rewiden it, then. :) — BrianSmithson 15:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Changed the name to Samjogo. Oyo321 05:25, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Why? The scope is clearly much wider than Goguryeo. -- Visviva 06:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

The name "three-legged bird" is too vague. Why don't we change it to "Three-legged crow?" Oyo321 22:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New article

Is it possible for me to write a new article under Samjogo? I wish to do research and write an article on the Samjogo, focusing solely on the Korean one, but there already is the "Three-legged bird". Also, typing in "Samjogo" in the search bar brings up this article.

How do I write a new article under "Samjogo" without affecting this article? thanks. Good friend100 22:13, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Right below the title, click the link that says "Redirected from Samjogo." Or just click here. Cheers, -- Visviva 07:29, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Symbol of Goguryeo

Questions: What is the source for this? Is it due to recent archeological finds, or was this relationship acknowledged previously? Is there any reason to believe that it was considered a symbol of Goguryeo by the Goguryeo people themselves? If not, who has considered it to be symbolic of Goguryeo and when?

Anyway, I'm a little puzzled, since I never heard of this before running across this article, and standard Korean encyclopedias don't even seem to have a 삼조고 entry. -- Visviva 07:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Symbol is-

Answer: You're right-there is no concrete evidence for the 삼족오 to have been a symbol of Goguryeo. But, there are recent excavations that do show that the 삼족오 was in a way related to Goguryeo. Today, most Korean schools teach about the 봉황 and 용 but there isn't much to teach about the 삼족오. Oyo321 04:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rv

Interwikilinks should link to equivalents, not to "as close as we can get". This faulty linkage leads to the bots copying them, and the bots can only be stopped from adding their faulty links in the other wikipedias by removing them from all wikipedias. Since I am sick and tired of reverting the interwiki bots at the wikipedia I usually work on, I removed them and I ask that they stay removed. You can link them inline, if you want (i.e. [[:de:Yatagarasu]], though). --Asthma bronchiale 23:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reliable sources

Could we please get some reliable (i.e. printed) sources for this article? So far, the only sources are three websites. Two sites (each mentioning the fact(?) of the Fenghuang having three legs) do not give sources on their pages. The last site (Chosun.com) is reputedly not an objective source at all, but in fact a Korean nationalist site that gets most of its information from the official, biased Korean government site Korean.net. (See the talk pages on articles on Korean history and geography for this reputation.) I personally have trouble coming across reliable sources that mention the three-legged crow. 24.14.198.8 04:51, 7 August 2007 (UTC) Chris G.

I agree. Seems like a lot of original research to me. Content might as well be split into seperate article, then this one should be deleted. --Asthma bronchiale (talk) 13:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
