huge WP page, long talk page with 9 archives and yet not a word about women- his treatment of women ? Reflection of WP editors? Very surprising . I added ref to Kippumjo. Wuerzele (talk) 20:35, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
What is this conspiracy-mongering "just asking questions" comment, as if "WP editors" are some collective monolith. Is there really no better source than a German documentary? Documentaries generally do not cite their sources explicitly. Yue🌙17:42, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
I don't think they're alleging a conspiracy, more just a general blindness to some issues, like the treatment of women. Either way there seem to be a few sources that cover it, but I don't see many that draw explicit connections between the man himself and the program, so perhaps it's better to leave it in its own page and those discussing women's rights in North Korea.

Missing IPA of the Korean pronunciation of the name
In other articles for dictators like Hitler and Mussolini, the first sentence states "X was a dictator of _____ from _ to _". They do not use the official title for these leaders, like Fuhrer or Duce, since these titles are self-appointed and are specific, but not as informative as dictator when it comes to describing the absolute authority they held. Kim is indisputably a dictator with absolute power of his country, so shouldn't we also refer to him as a dictator in the first sentence? I think we should.

On arguments about "literally", see the comment and link by Jack Upland above. More broadly, we already have plenty of characterizations which address concentration of power in the lead. We have "supreme leader," "rules" North Korea, "totalitarian", etc. JArthur1984 (talk) 14:24, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Kim is a dictator. It's absurd that this article tries to say otherwise, and also has "Respected Comrade" in the infobox. DocZach (talk) 04:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
The avoidance is not specific to this article; it's a policy of careful tip-toeing called MOS:LABEL. Also, "Respected Comrade" is Kim Jong Un's official title. It's not the article or an editor literally calling him a respectable comrade. It's like how in Canada we call our senators "The Honourable". Yue🌙06:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Then why doesn't Queen Elizabeth II's article say "Her Majesty", or any of the Supreme Court Justices have "His Honor" or "Her Honor?" DocZach (talk) 08:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
I think Wikipedia spends too much time with the various titles bestowed on North Korean leaders, more so than the media of North Korea does, I believe.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:39, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
We should mention that the only reason that negotiations ever broke down was due to Joe Biden and his team choosing to do so. 24.238.34.133 (talk) 11:25, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Because there is no good reason to do so, pictures of people should not be updated just because more recent pictures exist. Pictures of living people also usually fall under copyright! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 15:58, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
2024 summit
27 out of 109 pictures from the June 2024 summit with Russia off Kremlin.ru have been uploaded to Commons. Perhaps one would be suitable as a new infobox image. NAADAAN (talk) 16:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
