Article grade and improvements

Downgraded article to C; it's still not the best. Still lots of poor and unsourced writing that needs to be pruned, and missing lots of info. Doesn't communicate what living in this period was actually like. Going to be significantly rewriting it over the following months. toobigtokale (talk) 07:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the lead (I wrote) is too long :) Need to cut it down eventually toobigtokale (talk) 07:55, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Use of this article in birthplaces

Whenever someone's Wikipedia article mentions they were born in Korea during this period, I've come to favor the practice of linking the phrase Korea, Empire of Japan to this article. I think this wording is a decent compromise.

Alternatives include:

"Korea" (non-specific and potentially misleading link)
"Japanese Korea" (I think confusing to unfamiliar people and doesn't specify "Empire of Japan")
"Korea under Japanese rule" (I think verbose and lacks specificity of "Empire of Japan")
"Chōsen" (opaque to people unfamiliar with Japan or Korea)

This is toobigtokale on a new account; I'm actually not so sure of this in hindsight. I need to read more about the legal intricacies of whether the colonization was "illegal". "Korea, Empire of Japan" seems to implicitly accept that the colonization was legal. Complicated... seefooddiet (talk) 08:54, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Colony vs part

@Malan Fun tagging to discuss; please keep in mind WP:3RR and please add sources for these claims. At the moment your recent edits are WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH; I'm not saying your edits are wrong, I'm saying our job is just to report what scholars are saying. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 17:50, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note that the editor you tagged was identified as a sockpuppet and has since been blocked Dantus21 (talk) 14:28, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
