| next time when you want to change the opening paragraph, would you discuss first in the talk page in order not to get into edit war again? As far as I remember there once was that suggestion to change the opening paragraph to put additional 'one of several names for' but there wasn't any consensus came out of that discussion. In my opinion, that suggestion cannot be justifed by NPOV argument. Otherwise every article regarding any object with more than one name should begin as you suggest when the other party is not happy with the name. What I meant by misleading is that when you begin the article with your opening sentence, the article is expected to be about the name of 'Dokdo' itself, not about the islets. It's confusing and the article becomes not well-written. Therefore the article should begin 'xxx is a group of islands...'. Considering articles like ] or ] are putting the name of the status of quo in their opening paragraph and referring to the object with the name, I think the opening paragraph should be just like before you modified. Same for 'control' and 'administer'. Please discuss before edit as these are heavily debated in the past. ] 02:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

Opening paragraph of Dokdo
next time when you want to change the opening paragraph, would you discuss first in the talk page in order not to get into edit war again? As far as I remember there once was that suggestion to change the opening paragraph to put additional 'one of several names for' but there wasn't any consensus came out of that discussion. In my opinion, that suggestion cannot be justifed by NPOV argument. Otherwise every article regarding any object with more than one name should begin as you suggest when the other party is not happy with the name. What I meant by misleading is that when you begin the article with your opening sentence, the article is expected to be about the name of 'Dokdo' itself, not about the islets. It's confusing and the article becomes not well-written. Therefore the article should begin 'xxx is a group of islands...'. Considering articles like Senkaku islands or Kuril islands are putting the name of the status of quo in their opening paragraph and referring to the object with the name, I think the opening paragraph should be just like before you modified. Same for 'control' and 'administer'. Please discuss before edit as these are heavily debated in the past. Ginnre 02:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
