welcome & note

Hi, welcome to Misplaced Pages. I noticed you made a lot of edits to Korean history related articles.

Please note that Misplaced Pages is supposed to consist of content from reputable, verifiable, neutral sources. See WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and WP:V. We cannot add the views of a disputed minority as if that were the mainstream consensus. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Appleby 05:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

You can avoid reverts by providing citations to your sources in brackets after your statements. Don't worry about formatting if you don't know yet. For information difficult to find in English, I've found that the Korean encyclopedias at Daum, Naver, and Yahoo Korea to be very helpful. Appleby 05:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Discuss and provide your sources at the talk pages of the articles, please. Thanks. Appleby 05:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Making copies of articles

Why did you make two copies of the article Manchu, at Manchu history and History of Manchu? —Keenan Pepper 00:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Manchuria article

Hi, Breathejustice, the sources you sited in the Manchuria article are from a Korean website that is neither reputable nor does it has anything to do with Manchuria. Why don't you find articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica or Columbia Encyclopedia... to cite? When you are talking about a region that has been inhabited by many ethnic groups over the years, it is not wise to quote from just one region's perspective. It should be objective not subjective. --Godardesque 03:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Gija

None of my comments were about Gija... I have therefore no idea why you deleted them. So I just restored the information, most of which I have actually taken and summarized from Yi Ki Baek's "Kuksa Sillon" and "Hanguksa Sillon". Easy for you to look up, if you wish to do so.

As for the Gija and Wiman controversies, they are amply quoted as such (improbably hypotheses)in a number of books, including the aforementioned Kuksa and Hanguksa sillon, I don't see why we wouldn't bring them up on wikipedia, even if, yes, I personally think of them as myths, or "alterations" of real history by Chinese historians, but after all, the sense of history-writing was very different back then. Shogo Kawada 02:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

please discuss your references (to modern scholarly works, not your interpretations of ancient source materials). i actually agree with your concerns, but wikipedia is not the place for your or my opinion. we simply describe the majority view, and any significant minority views, as they exist in reputable scholarly sources. i and others are not trying to oppose you, but your points can be made more effectively by citing proper sources and following wikipedia policy. please let people help you contribute to wikipedia.
