Talk:Ri Yong-ho (diplomat)

Year of birth

Ri also has articles at Korean & Chinese Wikipedias (ko:리용호 (정치인); zh:李容浩); I added the links just now over at Wikidata). A source cited there, from the Ministry of Unification [1], lists his year of birth as 1956. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 06:41, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, I've corrected the year. Some other sources only give his age as either 59 or 60, or birth year as 1954 (which is inconsistent). The Ministry of Unification info seems like the most reliable here. Thanks for the Wikidata too. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:58, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Revised Romanization

Based on my limited knowledge of Korean and the following Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_(Korean_surname) I think that the "Revised Romanization" of the family name in the Infobox should be "Ri", not "I".

I also had a similar question in the following page:

The founder's name was mentioned in the latter half of the article using the South Korean romanization method. I updated it to the North Korean version which you have used, I assume that's best practice. IRT787 (talk) 20:50, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Ri Yong-ho (politician) → Ri Yong-ho (foreign minister) – The subject of the current base title is also, by definition, a politician because he has been elected to a political body. Also, I am not convinced that the current base title is the primary topic, if there is one because while the soldier recieved the most coverage up until 2012, the foriegn minister is currently the one gaining the most media coverage recently, hence the base title is best suited to be a disambiguation. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 04:02, 29 June 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

• Oppose' (politician) is the normal dab. Having said that not sure the general is primary, would move Ri Yong-ho to (general). In ictu oculi (talk) 07:50, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
  • I know, but the general is also a politician as I explained in the rationale, compare, for example, Ron Johnson (Ontario politician) and Ron Johnson (American politician). Now that I've mentioned that, I just saw that that one was moved without discussion and was formerly at Ron Johnson (Wisconsin politician) - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 11:17, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
• Move to Ri Yong-ho (diplomat). Both this minister and the general Ri Yong-ho are politicians. Ri Yong-ho (politician) could certainly seem inappropriate. I recommend Ri Yong-ho (diplomat). Sawol (talk) 05:19, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
• I second Sawol's suggestion. Move to Ri Yong-ho (diplomat). --Ptko (talk) 10:57, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
• Move to Ri Yong-ho (diplomat). The issue with the other Ri Yong-ho being a politician also should be fixed. 'diplomat' is perfectly acceptable. It would be an idea to further consider In ictu oculi's suggestion and make Ri Yong-ho a disambiguation page moving the general to Ri Yong-ho (general). I am supportive of this. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 17:36, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
