Gyeongju

One of South Korea's most notable small cities, and last month's collaboration for the South Korean counties and cities Wikiproject. I think we did a pretty good job, and I'd like to add this to the yet-short list of Korea-related featured articles. I hope to use this article as a benchmark for other South Korean city articles. Whether you support or oppose this nomination, I look forward to your helpful comments. -- Visviva 13:31, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

• Neutral--Very fine work and an enjoyable read, but I have one quibble--the usage of the term "city" was somewhat confusing to me. It seemed like you used "city" to describe what might be called a "metropolitan area" in the U.S. (for example, apparently the "city" includes both rural farming areas and a thriving urban core, unlike most usages of the term I've seen). You might want to clarify what exactly you mean--does the "city" of Gyeongju contain suburban areas and rural areas as well, and how does it relate to a more Western notion of a city? Aside from that minor point, I congratulate you on the article--it was fascinating. Meelar (talk) 14:35, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • City here is a subdivision of a province. See subdivisions of South Korea. — Instantnood 23:02, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • Ah, I missed that wikilink. I've changed the lead sentence very slightly to make this more prominent. Support fully. Meelar (talk) 03:43, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Support- a well-written article. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 18:05, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• Object. The images Image:Burial-Mounds-at-GyeongJu.jpg, Image:Temple-at-gyeongju.jpg, Image:Alley-Butchers-at-GyeongJu.jpg are listed as being from http://www.davejenkins.com/, and are claimed as being under a license of "can be used as long as credit is given". However, I can't find where on the site this is stated, and in any case, it is not equivalent to the {{GFDL}} tag on Image:Burial-Mounds-at-GyeongJu.jpg. --Carnildo 19:19, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

The good Mr Jenkins has specifically released all images on the site under the GFDL. See [1]. -- Visviva 23:17, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. --Carnildo 23:25, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

• Conditional support If the image problem is fixed, I'll support then. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 20:34, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
• Support. A very fascinating article on this great place with long history and rich heritage. The sections are of appropriate length, and the children articles are generally well written too. Nice footnotes for the references. Looking forward to seeing the image problem fixed. — Instantnood 23:02, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak and conditional support – Good work so far, but it needs a copyedit as the grammar doesn't seem quite right. Please ensure that it is copyedited. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:30, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a close look. Although some examples would help... I edited it fairly closely before submission, but stuff always gets by me. Thanks as well for your own attention to the article -- but I must admit, frankly, that I don't understand the reasons for any of the changes you made. If you could explain them, that might help me to understand your general dissatisfaction. Cheers, and thanks again! -- Visviva 14:18, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

I've commented on the article's talk page. I'm not really good at copyediting but there are quite a number of people who undertake such tasks. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:27, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
