 Courtesy link: Template:Welcome-foreign/Korean

Hello. Can you help verify a brief, English-to-Korean translation in a welcome template?

Template:Welcome-foreign is a bilingual welcome template used to welcome new users who have written content in some other language besides English. The template welcomes them first in English, then in their own language, as long as it is one of the three dozen languages it can handle. New languages are easily added. I have added support for Korean, but I don't know Korean so I used automatic translation to create Template:Welcome-foreign/Korean from the original at Template:Welcome-foreign/English. I'd appreciate it if a native Korean speaker could verify or improve the translation. Feel free to edit it directly, or paste a better translation below, if you prefer not to edit a template. Thanks!

Template looks fine now - 00101984hjw (talk) 11:15, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

 Resolved Thank you Mathglot (talk) 23:58, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please add reliable sources as soon as possible. Bearian (talk) 21:33, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The article CAS Corporation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as needing more citations for 19 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Fails the relevant notability guidelines.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 05:21, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just made a major proposal to modify how we title BLPs at WT:NCKO#Reweighting personal preference of people names. This will impact a huge proportion of articles about Korean people. Please participate if you are interested. grapesurgeon (talk) 16:38, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It was suggested that I raise this issue here. I’ve been working on cleaning up several pages about Korean performers that contain a fair amount of promotional language. It’s in the project’s interest to proactively maintain pages that are likely to attract broader community attention.

One example is Kim Seon-ho. It may be worth considering withdrawing the GA nomination and instead requesting a peer review. That could provide an opportunity to strengthen the article’s grammar, structure, and overall quality before pursuing GA status. Coffeeurbanite (talk) 19:34, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

A good chunk of this issue comes down to the work of a single user. I've talked about this in private with the relevant user in the past. The promotional language issue has gotten better than before, but it's still noticeable imo.

I feel bad about discussing this in public tbh; the user is making a good faith effort and does a lot of very good and useful work. However, their past work especially needs to have the promotional language cleaned up.

But in a sense @Coffeeurbanite is right that this is an issue that affects the WikiProject, as the user in question has written a large number of pages.

@Preferwiki is the user in question; may as well name as it's apparent from the post who it is. I hope you understand; just trying to give helpful feedback. grapesurgeon (talk) 22:43, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind if I fail GA, it'll be a good learning opportunity. However I don't plan to withdraw on Kim Seo-ho's GA nomination. I have successfully upgrading two related pages into feature list status, so I know what to expect. As one of Top 5 contributors, it is within my right to nominate the page according to GA nomination procedures. If GA reviewer there ask me to make some drastic change I am already up for it. Meanwhile I will do peer review process when I get a GA to be able to upgrade the article into FA status. I have researched already and most users do peer review to get an FA. I've explained this to @Coffeeurbanite on Kim Seon-ho's talk page so I don't get why the user insisting that I have to do peer review now.

@Grapesurgeon is right, I sometimes do write with tone that not really suitable for encyclopedia. Not dry enough as per feedback. Never claim that my writing is already perfect. However I always fix that whenever I get a feedback from Grape. However for this particular page, Kim Seon-ho, I less inclined to do drastic change due to frequent vandalism and very severe sock puppetry issues. For this sock master case, it had one case in the past that sock-master was obsessed with a British actor's page and did sock puppetry there. They stopped disrupting after an editor managed to upgrade it into a GA status (my claim is supported by the SPI case archive). So I plan to do that this time too. Preferwiki (talk) 00:38, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Preferwiki I think I understand the issue now. You are trying to get GA status for this article so it will be less vulnerable to vandalism in the future. I would like to caution you about doing this. Articles on Kim Seon-ho, just like articles on Kim Soo-hyun, Song Joong-ki, etc. may attract more vandalism is because the issues presented in them can be divisive and controversial. Other examples would be the articles on Justin Bieber, Johnny Depp, Israel and Palestine. Many people may try to change the wording based on their understanding of the issue. I acknowledge your hard work. However, I would like to encourage you to consider that the view that you are presenting might be somewhat subjective. If the article receives GA status, readers who are not familiar with the subject, may accept it at face value, which could affect their understanding of the matter. It would be better, in my opinion, to assign someone to monitor this particular article for vandalism and request page protection, if necessary, rather than nominating it for GA. Just for your information, neither Kim Soo-hyun or Song Joong-ki have their articles listed as GA. I was trying to find GA about any major Korean star, but couldn't, although I am sure they exist.

Although I continue to learn from you senior editors @Grapesurgeon, I feel that this being brought up here when it was already answered on Kim Seonho's talk page (multiple times) has begun to feel like 2 accounts(one that is an obvious SPU account) that also showed up on this page on the same day, targetting @Preferwiki despite them being a senior and respected editor with years of experience in multiple pages, including an unusually high amount of vandals and sockpuppet activity that they have dealt with in the past. Many pages within the korean entertainment realm need work, I'm slowly beginning to contribute to this to, but singling out one editor feels unwarranted and unfair. I commend this senior editor for being open to the scrutiny that a GA process involves. I am commenting because my unlucky introduction to wiki editting literally began through being involved in the sockpuppet nightmare on this page so it's kept me on high alert regarding issues like this. NJNPer (talk) 16:20, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Be mindful of sockpuppeting accusations outside of WP:SPI. Considered WP:TENDENTIOUS. If you have a suspicion best to just file a report instead of speculating outside of SPI. grapesurgeon (talk) 16:22, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Didn't mean to overstep. Just feeling frustrated and confused witnessing this. NJNPer (talk) 16:31, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and I realize I may have used the wrong acronym, I was not referring to sockpuppet activity I was referring to SPA, single purpose account. NJNPer (talk) 17:02, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This whole discussion is spread across so many venues and is an absolute disaster. I think several involved editors need to WP:DROPTHESTICK and back away for a bit because things are just going in circles. RachelTensions (talk) 17:37, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yea tbh @Coffeeurbanite if it's been discussed this much think it's more on you to drop. I don't think this needed to be belabored this much grapesurgeon (talk) 17:50, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Grapesurgeon, I have to admit I’m a bit puzzled by the invocation of WP:DROPTHESTICK in this context. Are you suggesting that I should stop encouraging broader review of the page, or that I should disengage from @Preferwiki?

You’ve acknowledged that the article needs improvement, and I don’t think we disagree on that point. This isn’t a topic area where I have a particular stake, so if there are concerns about tone or promotional language, perhaps you might consider stepping in to help address the puffery directly.Coffeeurbanite (talk) 16:16, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm saying Preferwiki has already graciously accepted the feedback and yet it feels like you're drilling into them more than needed. I've looked at that other convo and it feels like you're doing too much. It's not just me who feels this way. Chill on this. grapesurgeon (talk) 16:21, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

What feedback has been graciously accepted? If you’re referring to concerns about puffery, I’m not seeing clear evidence that those issues have been addressed. The feedback that does seem to have been welcomed relates to pursuing GA review.

Given that you’ve acknowledged the tone concerns, perhaps you might consider assisting with a GA review and helping to resolve the promotional language directly. If the project is already aware of the issue, some proactive, self-directed cleanup could go a long way. Coffeeurbanite (talk) 16:40, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

...Did you not read the other conversations? I'm not going to make those fixes myself, no, because I have my own projects I'm working on. Was pressuring me to do so multiple times really necessary?

I really think you should drop this. Approaching ANI territory soon. grapesurgeon (talk) 16:47, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Thank you senior editors @Grapesurgeon and @RachelTensions. I was feeling lost on how to stop it. NJNPer (talk) 19:21, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
