Title[edit]

"Accident" might be a little POV-pushing. Maybe "incident" is better, but I don't like calling the deaths an "incident". This is the phrase the US Embassy in Seoul used, but we should switch it to any phrase that is more common in available sources. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 01:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The current title is just like a simple and trivial traffic accident. Nobody in South Korea calls the case as such. The title at the subsection regarding the incident in Anti-American sentiment in Korea was based on ko:미군 장갑차 여중생 압사 사건. The both articles' titles should reflect on what South Korea or other people outside of Korea call it. --Caspian blue (talk) 02:26, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As much as I can translate the :ko: article's title, it is "US Military Armored Vehicle Incident", and the chinese subtitle makes reference to "crushing girls" ~ it's hard putting all that into a concise title though, as word-for-word translation "us armored vehicle girl-crushing incident" sounds like a freak circus side show event. I prefer the location marker (yangju) in the title (hwy 56 is a bit ambiguous). Clown (talk) 09:38, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ko wiki[edit]

Where is the Korean wikipedia article for this?! I can't seem to find it even after searching for the girls' names in Korean. There should be a lot of information there that we can trans-wiki. Especially, the title of the article in Korean would be very helpful in renaming this English article. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 01:15, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
