Have changed the name to "Wang Gun." Oyo321 05:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an acceptable title, for reasons ranging from romanization to the standardized use of temple names. Please see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (monarchs). -- Visviva 06:26, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

undivided?

[edit]

"However, Wang's unification in 936 was a full-scale unification, with the agreement of all Korean people—and the nation remained as single, unified country until 1948, when Korea was divided into North and South." For an encyclopedia this sounds a little emotional and arguable : for a large part of this period Korea was occupied by Japan and the division of Korea occurred de facto in 1945. 86.33.15.82 (talk) 21:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
