Genealogy, if possible

This crown prince nomination is like what happened to Yi Hae-won in 2006, who self-proclaimed to be the empress, but she recently passed away in Feb 2020; I wonder if these are related events... Anyway, I hope someone can provide more about who this Andrew Lee is, like who are his parents, ancestry, and/or what's his Korean name in the first place? Because if not providing enough info, it's hard to say whether Andrew Lee is really a royal descendant (from Yi clan of Jeonju), or just a celebrity Yi Seok found. - George6VI (talk) 17:49, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalization

User:George6VI appears to be rewriting history and disclaiming sources in the process. Theoneyihistorian (talk) 16:06, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone that is vandalizing, that should be you. I am just presenting the truth - Yi Seok's not so widely accepted claim - by all the sources I gave in the articles. There should be no original research and biased refs, which is what you gave and they can be removed for neutrality. - George6VI (talk) 16:09, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect, please see the actual references which you simply did not provide. I do not know what your bias is against Seok. Let's make sure that only factual, referenced information is provided - which I did, and you did not. Theoneyihistorian (talk) 18:53, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't we merge all the further discussion in House of Yi, as the discussion is about the same thing. - George6VI (talk) 19:40, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly 4 years later, I can confirm User:George6VI appears to be a non-neutral participant. Bloodredchaos (talk) 16:10, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever you regard what I did, but you don't know the rules here and how Wikipedia works in the first place. -George6VI (talk) 16:40, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rfc of the titles and styles

Is it appropriate to add titles to this Andrew Lee article, such as "Crown Prince of the Korean Empire"? The similar question also stands for the article Yi Seok. - George6VI (talk) 05:44, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not in the lead sentence, imho. The mention in the second paragraph seems fine though. Not sure if MOS:HONORIFIC applies here or not. Some1 (talk) 23:57, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment We should not report pretenders to thrones of bygone empires as "Crown Prince" in WP:WIKIVOICE. Explain the claim in a factual and neutral way. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:05, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Take it out of the lead and keep it brief (WP:DUE). It's fine to mention it, but I fully agree with Finnusertop (talk · contribs) that he shouldn't be described as a crown prince in Wikipedia's voice. --Tserton (talk) 23:00, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No - Agree with discussions above. Lee should not be titled as "Crown Prince" as an honorific in the title sentence of the Lead. There should probably be some more explanation, with cites (available in Yi Seok's article) as to why the latter man has the standing to name a Crown Prince.Parkwells (talk) 22:42, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Page as a redircet

Praxidicae has switched this page as a redirect to Private_Internet_Access. Andrew Lee is really important and there has to be a wiki page on him because he wants to take over freenode IRC Network. Tuxifreund (talk) 08:59, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In reply to edit comment [1] by User:36.70.238.117: User:Praxidicae is a legitimate and trusted user. --Kim Bruning (talk) 15:37, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If I were a paid mercenary for Lee, I probably wouldn't be removing the puffy, extremely dubious claims of being royalty. ;) YODADICAE👽 15:39, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Purchasing Freenode

Lee purchased a company *called* Freenode LTD, but the article makes it seem he purchased the network ( infrastructure, volunteer staff etc.) -- but this LTD had no ownership over those resources. cf https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/05/freenode-irc-has-been-taken-over-by-the-crown-prince-of-korea/?comments=1

This article should clarify the difference between the IRC Network Freenode, and freenode LTD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4B00:89AA:CA00:A53E:D1A7:6B0A:5B02 (talk) 16:25, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've just pulled over the wording from Freenode: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Andrew_Lee_(entrepreneur)&type=revision&diff=1025316995&oldid=1025033558&diffmode=source GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 22:41, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is mostly about, and mostly cited to, Freenode stuff. Most of the cites presently in the article are literally to blogs - which should never have been on a BLP. It is entirely unclear Lee warrants an article independently of Freenode - as a BLP, this article is a hazard. Is there any good reason not to merge this back to Freenode? - David Gerard (talk) 22:07, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article was not split from Freenode. Freenode was not even mentioned in this article until Lee took over the network in May. --Joshua Issac (talk) 12:10, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rap career

Is this noteworthy? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCojhE_n9oeskTdgwGT0htRw 96.246.152.176 (talk) 23:21, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is not. No coverage at all by any reliable sources. --Joshua Issac (talk) 23:42, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bloodredchaos

Update in 2024, Lee has been recognized as the King of Joseon by a UN member state, Antigua. ^[1] It makes sense to list him both as King and, still continue with the disputed "Crown Prince". Bloodredchaos (talk) 19:48, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- For most we can agree that he claimed to be the pretender and whatsoever, but there is no room for "self-claimed" truth in Wikipedia. Antigua even gets the name wrong, either "(Kingdom of) Joseon" or "Empire of Korea", not a "Frankenstein's monster" name "Joseon Empire". Besides, we never know if Andrew is lying of being royalty or not, until he can let us people know what his family tree looks like. Otherwise, he is probably like one of 100 imposters of Louis XVII. - George6VI (talk) 15:23, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I understand that this claim is not accepted, however this claim is still notable. Even if he isn't related to the House of Yi, it was a member of the House of Yi who named Andrew his heir. There's a reason why we previously made it very clear that his claim is disputed and not accepted by all Korean monarchists, we didn't affirm a "self-claimed" truth, we just provided information on someone who's been accepted into a royal family, regardless of their actual origin. TansoShoshen (talk) 18:52, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  
  According to WP:NPOV, given that the what the sources address the people is often biased (King Yi Seok, etc.), it is more acceptable to list "what they called themselves" instead of "narrate the event as truth", it should be noted that the statement becomes a propaganda or not. Besides, existing articles of reigning monarchs and pretenders already makes these clear. - George6VI (talk) 15:24, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  
  According to Diplomatic recognition, Lee is recognized as King of Joseon as Antigua recognizes him with this title, while still a disputed "Crown Prince" of Korea. Bloodredchaos (talk) 03:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - That said, Andrew Lee doesn't really "reign" any territory on Earth, and "pretender" rather than "Crown Prince of Korea" and "Queen Nana" is more neutral (based on WP:NPOV) to state what they really are, same as his Joseon Cybernation. - George6VI (talk) 05:33, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - This is not a question of neutrality here as we do this based on academic and standard. From the edit history, it's clear you have a biased, non-neutral, position on this looking at Yi Won's page and your edits. As I learn more, it seems there are some disputes and I don't want to get in the middle of your campaign as I'm certainly not an expert on this, but I do consider myself a seasoned editor. I think you should recuse yourself from this issue. Let's let others chime in. Bloodredchaos (talk) 16:09, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      - Actually, I made an edit that incorporates both the academic fact and the language you really wanted incorporated ("pretender"). Bloodredchaos (talk) 16:25, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      - That looks close enough, and whatever titles Lee claims to have, it is enough to mention them with reference in later paragraphs. - George6VI (talk) 16:52, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
