Are we going to have a collaborative project, or does everyone do their own thing, and just ask questions here as needed? My personal side project is to expand all the king articles, although it may take several years at this rate.

If we do have collaboration, how about starting with the most prominent second-level articles, Joseon Dynasty, Goryeo and Three Kingdoms of Korea. As each article is updated with citations, we can adjust the main History of Korea article. I'm just thinking out loud, I'd be glad to help on any project suggestion.

At this time, I think the idea is for there to be just one official monthly collaboration for Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea as a whole, and for the working groups to function more as informal gathering-points. However, I think that focusing on the main period articles would be a good idea. Thanks for all your work on the monarch articles! -- Visviva 23:16, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haemosu, Haeburu

The Hae Mosu and Hae Buru articles are accurate. I created articles for all of the Danguns of Bukbuyeo and Dongbuyeo. If anyone thinks that there should be changes, then please inform me. --Kprideboi 23:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of East Asia

Hi. I just wanted to point out this developing article, the history of East Asia, for people who are passionate about Korean history. Korea is traditionally seen as part of this region and having some loose commonalities with its neighbors. See history of Europe for comparison. Common elements in the history of East Asia might include:

  • the arrival of Buddhism from South Asia / India, including Korea
  • Taoism and Confucianism and its spread to Korea and beyond
  • Neo-confucianism in the "middle ages" -- did this impact Korea in any way?
  • the Mandate of Heaven in China and its impact on Korean rulers
  • similarities and differences between the Chinese civil service and Korea's organization in the "middle ages"
  • the advent of the stirrup and the arrival of the Mongols in the region.
  • the invention of gunpowder and its spread throughout the region.
  • the invention of the printing press and the development of movable type in Korea
  • the arrival of the European powers, and its effect on technology, diplomacy, philosophy, etc.
  • any notable wars that had the effect of shaping the region

I hope we can all work together to improve this article. 64.231.193.236 16:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
