Template

When linking a Wikipedia page to a Commons category, "Commonscat" will link directly to a category of the same name as the page, and a category of a different name can be just piped to the template, instead of having to give the category name, and another name to display.

You might find it useful. Goldfritha 04:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

깍두기

Hi, Wikipedia needs an article on 깍두기. Would you like to make it? Badagnani 23:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, why not? I'll do it in the near future. :) --Appletrees 23:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't figure out if it should be with a Kk or a Gg. Badagnani 23:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be with Kk. It is hard for both Korean and others to fit the korean language into the alphabet . --Appletrees 23:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Hey Appletrees! I saw your edits on Gimbap. Do you want to join WikiProject Korea? We need more editors! (Wikimachine 05:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Images

Hi Appletrees. It's very important that editors are able to explain their contributions. The images were removed from Namdaemun Market because Wikipedia is not a repository of images - for various technical and content reasons, only images which are required to show the appearance and context of a place, person or object are necessary. While an article on, say, a major city may legitimately hold many images, a small market does not require a large gallery. Please do not simply revert or undo explained changes without explanation, this is considered edit warring and can lead to accusations of bad faith in your part. Thanks, Deiz talk 01:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

칼국수

If 칼국수 doesn't have hanja, what is the etymology/origin/root words of "칼" and "국수"? If you have access to a really great, huge, thick Korean dictionary that gives all these explanations, that would be very valuable. Badagnani 01:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

칼국수 literally means "knife-cut noodles" like 막국수 (Mak + guksu means a roughly made noodles).

The origin of how the dish has been called is introduced in the referred links that I added. 칼 means knife and guksu is noodles. If Kalguksu has hanja, it would be call 도면(刀麵, Doe myeon), but doen't have any. Not every Korean food has hanja, but some food from China has like Jajangmyeon and Korean royal court dishes. Sorry for my short English. That's why I mind adding my name into the list of the editors for Korean-related articles. --Appletrees 01:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I can understand you fine. Can you add all this info into the articles about these noodles? Badagnani 02:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did you mean you want me to fill up the article, Korean noodles? If so, I could not promise on that. Because the reference sources that I have found over internet are not translated in English and my writing ability in English is very limited compared with reading English. Moreover, I've been more interested in searching and uploading suitable photos for Korean-related articles. It took a long time for me even to write this now. As you see the Kalguksu article, my words and grammar are not good.--Appletrees 04:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Korean noodles

I'm still interested in the etymology/origin/root words of "guksu." Do you have access to a very large, good Korean dictionary that gives the history of non-hanja Korean words? It seems that noodle technology originally came from China and I'm curious whether the root word(s) for "guksu," as a word not of Sinitic origin, had some literal meaning different from noodles before noodles were introduced to Korea. For example, like "strings" or "threads," or something like that. The Italian noodle names all have root meanings like this: "linguini" means "little tongues," "vermicelli" means "little worms," etc. Badagnani 02:34, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found several sources after you mentioned it but those are not from a dictionary. And the articles are very hard to translate in English. I'll work it out in a future.--Appletrees 04:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Japchae

Japchae can be eaten cold too? Is that just as leftovers or is it cooked, then served at the table cold? Badagnani 02:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nowadays, Japchae is eaten at anytime, anywhere, and any occasion, but has been still regarded as one of the feast food in Korea. Because Korean believe noodles bless for good fortune and longevity due to the length of the noodles, and the food looks very sumptuous at a tableway. However, cooking Japchae requires various ingredients and a troublesom labor. And to preventing it from turning bad or rotten in summer or afternoon party, Korean let Chapchae chilled slowly in the outside after cooking it. That is why I firstly categorized it into Noodle salad. I have had Japchae as a hot dish, but that occasion was just a few and served as "Japchae bap" like "Bulgogi dupbap". When I invited foreign friends, I prepared several food, and they preferred Japchae hot. --Appletrees 04:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Important Intangible Cultural Properties

Maybe you could help expand Important Intangible Cultural Properties. I can't figure out why they left out several numbers in the list (missing in all the official lists). Badagnani 19:03, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well, the job seems to require profound knowledges of the field, so I wouldn't wonder why editors have not updated it for a while. Besides, I'm focusing to enhance contents by finding and filling up suitable images, not by writing something. My writing in English is poor, so you better find someone.--Appletrees 19:25, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great work

Hi, do you live in Seoul? If so, could you somehow get a photo of the NCKTPA? Badagnani 17:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope so, but now have been far away from there and never been to the NCKTPA. By the way, before seeing the Korean name, I didn't know what institution you are saying. The naming sounds weird and too long even though the government of Korea decided to call it.--Appletrees 18:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

It seems from your recent edits that you are intent on pushing your anti-Japanese sentiments, while you are entitled to your own opinions, please be aware of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npov - thanks and have a nice daySennen goroshi 14:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know that the category of the anti-Japanese sentiments in Korean is existing prior and was created by Japanese. The category , anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea by myself is to intend to equofiy the viewpoint in the two sides. FYI, my sentiment toward Japanse is originated by the Japanses in English and Korean Wiki.--Appletrees 14:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not neither agreeing that there is anti-Korean sentiment in Japan, neither am I denying it. Even if something is true, it is still not NPOV in some cases to place it all over wikipedia. If someone added a racist tag to every Korean politician that has said something negative about Japan, it would be pushing a pro-Japan/anti-Korean point of view. I am not arguing about the existence of racism in any nation, I am trying to point out wikipedia policy. You cannot put a racism tag on everyone who says something that you consider to be negative regarding Korea and/or Korean people.Sennen goroshi 14:39, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't exaggerate it. I never added the tag into "Every Japanse politicians". I only added the tag on the people who did wrong and have hatred feeling toward Korean and Chinese such as the author of "マンガ嫌韓流". Why should I complain the matter to Korean Government? If you suggest so, I might go to Japanese Government to oppose their policy and prejudgement. Besides, Japanese wikipeian have been trying to tag "Korean terrorist" to Korean Independent nationalist who are awarded as "great man' "by Korean Government and revered by Korean people. Besides, the Racism category is added to Anti-Japanse sentiment in Korea by Japanese wikipeidan. The trigger is advanced by them.--Appletrees 15:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dog meat

why are you complaining? i made a small joke in my edit summary. big deal. My edit was pure fact, based on Korean Govt figures, if you dont like the figures, go complain to the Korean Govt not me. If you dont like me calling dogs "cute puppies" then Im very very sorry you are offended, but get over it, its not the worst thing in the world. and please stop preaching your hate for Japanese people. Im not Japanese, but your comments are offensive.Sennen goroshi 14:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Even though someone feel offened by the "joke" with no intention to attack, that is not joke any more. Your comment is worst enough to be called "offensive". I'm not complaining, but you're whinning and complaining. Try to behave yourself in a right way. Well, I guessed your origin by your nickname, and that is one of the Japanese name. You would be Japanese-American. --Appletrees 15:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

sorry, I cant stop myself from laughing. 1. I never claimed that you put a tag on every Japanese politician. 2. (and I am still laughing) what makes you think you are the person who wikipedia has chosen to decide "who did wrong" ? there is no wrong and right in wikipedia, there are facts. your opinions regarding hatred and right/wrong are not valid reasons for placing tags on wikipedia pages. When I suggested that you complain to the Korean Govt, it was because you objected to my summary that gave official statistics from the Korean Govt. The fact that someone added Racism to an article devoted to (duh) Racism (which is what anti Japanese sentiment is) has nothing to do with you adding it to the articles of individuals. I don't care if some Korean was revered by Koreans, Adolf Hitler was revered by the German people, and was awarded Time Magazine Man of the Year. Big Deal, he was still a murdering racist.Sennen goroshi 15:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

why would anyone be offended? I called a dog, a cute puppy. dogs are cute. young dogs are called puppies. when you eat meat, you eat the flesh. therefore cute puppy flesh is 100% accurate. and what has my origin got to do with anything? because you think Im Japanese/American does that make me worse than you? do you wish to make comments regarding Japanese/Americans? don't you like Japanese people? how do you feel about Americans? How do you feel about Japanese/Americans?Sennen goroshi 15:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
