Unless there is a compelling reason for doing otherwise, Wikipedia policy is that the form of a name used as an article title should be that which is most commonly used and recognised in English. My searches indicate that the moves you have made of articles on Korean topics have not been in line with this policy: for example, a Google search for "Kim Deuk-sin" produced 2,700 results, whereas "Gim Deuksin" produced 6, including the Wikipedia article which you renamed. Please don't move articles to titles that you prefer unless there are policy-based reasons for doing so. The editor who uses the pseudonym "

Gansong Art Museum romanizes it into "Kim Deuk-sin" on their exhibition pages. Many books and older materials use the McCune–Reischauer "Kim Tŭksin" or "Kim Tŭk-sin". Thanks for the advice! 😊 --Brett (talk) 13:49, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply

WP:NOTRECIPE also states "Describing to the reader how people or things use or do something is encyclopedic; instructing the reader in the imperative mood about how to use or do something is not." However, as the paragraph seemed like a recipe to you, which means it may also seem like a recipe to some other people in the future, I've just changed some sentences into a bit more descriptive ones. 🥄 --Brett (talk) 12:25, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply

Ok, thanks. It's better now. Doug Weller talk 15:13, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think we may have been editing Hoppang at the same time. I think my version might have been a bit more polished and reverted to it--but no offense intended. The article could certainly be expanded. Barte (talk) 03:44, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Barte: Hi! Thanks for letting me know and no problem! I've just changed a few more things in addition to your revision. 🍞 --Brett (talk) 07:00, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good changes. I think your "Etymology" is the better subhead. Barte (talk) 13:34, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Boleyn: Hi, Boleyn! Thanks for reviewing the page and also letting me know. The improvement tag was added by myself, as I'm looking for some help from other users. 🍮 --Brett (talk) 07:27, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry, didn't realise that! I'll look over it myself and leave tag if I think it needs someone with more knowledge in this area. Thanks for responding, Boleyn (talk) 07:31, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey i have noticed you have made some contributions to Fishcake page a while ago. I wanted to inform you that instead of calling it fishcake (which sounds low quality and cheap food), it is just better to call it as 'Amook'. If you type 어묵 it will show up how 어묵 industry in Korea transformed into more modern style food product. I hope to hear back from you in near future ---- 13:15, June 28 2017

Hello. According to Revised Romanization of Korean (RRK), "박제순" is "Bak Je-sun". But "박제순" is the one of people of Joseon Dynasty period, and "Pak Chesoon" is official name of "박제순", (s:Page:The New Far East (1906).djvu/342), like Syngman Rhee. So, I was undo your unofficial naming edits in that article, because of aside from official name you could write in {{Infobox Korean name}} about other romanization system (like Revised Romanization and McCune–Reischauer). Thanks. --Garam (talk) 07:16, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fyi, I updated the pita article to mention the name "arabic bread" (khubz arabi), along with several citations noting that "pita" is the common English word for it (though not for all types of khubz, which is just the Arabic word for bread). I finished reverting the changes of "pita" and the links to "khubz" in several articles. I went ahead and reverted the ones in the China-related articles, since at least one of the sources mentioned "pita", and none "khubz". However, I'm not sure that "pita" is necessarily the right word in those cases. I'll leave that up to you... --IamNotU (talk) 18:40, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
