Talk:Baengnyeongdo

Importance

This Island is important. It may become involved in a war between North and South Korea, (Or hopefully only in peace talks) these days it is in the news. Note that an objective look in the map shows that logically it should belong to North Korea. Here is an article on recent events in the news: North fires artillery near South territory. Now is a good time to consider adding information in here. Ron64 (talk) 15:45, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

National treasures

In the Wik article on Korean Nat. Trea., there is no listing of the numbers given in the Baeklyeongdo article. Kdammers (talk) 01:03, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inhabited?

Is the island inhabited? It would seem so, but this should be made explicit. Number of inhabitants and names of principal towns or villages would be nice too. Also info on the local economy. -- 85.179.127.236 (talk) 08:45, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The island is DEFINITELY NOT INHABITED. Thanks— Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2025-31262-92 (talk) 19:12, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, you do not seem to understand the meaning of the words that you are arguing about. INhabited means that people DO live there. You obviously think so as you added the population of 4329 whilst "correcting' the article to use the inaccurate and highly inappropriate form "habited". The word that you mean is "inhabited": people live on it. Honestly. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 20:28, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Baengnyeong Island → Baengnyeongdo – For consistency with other rivers(gang or cheon), mountains(san), islands(do) in geography of South Korea. Sawol (talk) 20:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. We have a set of naming conventions for Korean geographic entries WP:NC-KO. These conventions aren't set in stone, but they represent a consensus that has been established among multiple interested users, and it can't be changed piecemeal or by a single user. I suggest taking up a proposal at the talk page for the naming conventions subpage. It would be great if you could advertise the discussion to interested projects, etc. --Amble (talk) 20:19, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Extra comment: My oppose to this requested move is specifically in opposition to moves of individual articles against the current naming convention. If you start a discussion of a change to the naming convention, you might well convince me that your proposal is better. --Amble (talk) 01:20, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean)#Islands, the full unhyphenated Korean name including do should be used, as in Baengnyeongdo. User:Amble and User:SLawsonIII are wrong. Sawol (talk) 07:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
  • Note : I stand corrected regarding the previous guideline. I also note that Sawol honored my request to put together a proposal for guideline changes and that the guidelines have been modified accordingly. Thanks. --Amble (talk) 20:25, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
