Hyon Song-wol[edit]

  • ... that North Korean singer Hyon Song-wol, whose hit songs include Excellent Horse-Like Lady and She Is A Discharged Soldier, is said to have been romantically linked with leader Kim Jong-un?

  • New enough. Long enough. Fully supported by inline sources. Image has fair use rationale. Hook properly formatted and is interesting. Kind of gossipy, but not a BLP violation that I can see and supported by sources in the article. Plagiarism check [1][2][3] show no major cause for concern.
  • Concerned about External links in that they may be linking to copyvios. --LauraHale (talk) 23:22, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Clarify external link copyright status to show legal or remove them. Ping me here and my talk page to let me know when this is addressed. --LauraHale (talk) 23:22, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

I was under the impression that North Korean copyrights aren't recognised abroad - the country isn't a signatory of any of the international copyright treaties or agreements - but I've not been able to confirm this to my satisfaction, therefore I've taken the simplest route of taking out the external links.

Thanks for doing that. Should be good to go now. --LauraHale (talk) 00:09, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
