Article grade and improvements

edit

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

edit

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
