Move request

I posted this notice last month, but reposting again. Talk:Goryeosa#Requested move 7 February 2025 has a move discussion that's stalled. Could more people participate? I think we just need a few more voices. seefooddiet (talk) 19:48, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Far-right leaning documentary film on Germany's Phoenix channel

The following was also posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany.

I recently updated the Phoenix (German TV channel) article with a new section dedicated to the controversy from earlier this March surrounding the biased documentary film about the political crisis in South Korea. Do you see anything to fix or update? --183.101.53.185 (talk) 10:46, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

See WP:CSECTION; in general you should avoid having "controversy" sections in articles. Also, the discussion of that single documentary is pretty long for that article. I think you may be better off creating an article called Inside Südkorea – Staatskrise im Schatten von Nordkorea und China moving that content there, then shortening the mention of the documentary in Phoenix (German TV channel) to a brief paragraph with a {{main}} template linked to the documentary article. seefooddiet (talk) 19:12, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

@Seefooddiet: Alright. But since I cannot create an article, I ended up creating a draft instead. Once it becomes an article, I'm going to do what you told me to do. --183.101.53.185 (talk) 11:26, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Well, the submission was declined. Could someone suggest me some useful "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject" that provide "significant coverage (not just passing mentions)" about that documentary?

Also, I need someone to add some useful and significant background information to that draft, like for example:

• The December 2024 South Korean martial law and the political crisis that followed;
• The belief of right-wingers and far-righters in South Korea about the country's political landscape, like 'The Democratic Party is full of lefties, and they collaborate with commies like North Korea and Mainland China!'; and
• The political background of some of the documentary's producers. For example, Yaena Kwon's Instagram feed shows her right wing bias. Some articles from the reliable third-party sources confirming her (or their) political position are needed, though, rather than directly citing the individuals involved.

--183.101.53.185 (talk) 09:43, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't agree with the decline. I pretty frequently disagree with draft deniers. I can't see how the sources aren't enough. People pretty frequently have a bias against articles with primarily non English sources; may be a contributing factor.

I'm not very involved in draft approvals; can another WPK member take a look and approve? seefooddiet (talk) 14:30, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

I just moved it to mainspace. Turns out that anyone's able to do that. seefooddiet (talk) 18:27, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Now, that article about the German parliamentary TV channel can focus on what it normally does. 183.101.53.185 (talk) 09:20, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Palace articles

Recently I redid Gyeongbokgung and Deoksugung, and am planning on redoing the other major palace articles.

If anyone's interested, there's pages that need creating in {{Palaces of Joseon}}. Unfortunately I think almost all of these will only be attested to in Korean; unlikely many substantial English-language sources. seefooddiet (talk) 17:14, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Also need some pictures of some buildings in Changdeokgung if anyone can take them. User:Seefooddiet/Changdeokgung; see the rows where pics are missing. seefooddiet (talk) 04:16, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

New designation templates

Recently got a bunch of Korea-related entries added to {{Designation}}. You can add these designations to infoboxes, like at Cheomseongdae. For a full list, see {{Designation/Supported designations}}; note Seoul Future Heritage at the very bottom too. seefooddiet (talk) 21:04, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
