December 22[edit]

Hangul and more needed for politician article[edit]

Anyong haseyo, all.
Hwang Woo-yea looks to me not McCune–Reischauer or RR. Could someone possibly edit the article to tidy it up? I would do it myself, except there's the small matter of me knowing almost no Korean at all.

No, in the computer. Fête (talk) 01:18, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you'd been told to stop asking these questions? doktorb wordsdeeds 04:16, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't even know what language 'Bandung' is a word in. Not French or English, at any rate, so it's probably not meaningful to consider its Quebecois pronunciation. But Fete - please either stop asking these questions, or interact courteously with those who are trying to help you. It's disruptive otherwise.

It's a Malay word. Bandung is a city in Indonesia, and is also the name of a rose-flavoured milk drink popular in Southeast Asia (no connection to the city, apparently). — SMUconlaw (talk) 09:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
