Done Thanks, Stickee (talk) 01:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't know how to edit this page. It should read 350 videos on Youtube, among other things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.192.155.104 (talk) 02:04, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Sorry

But the kid aint no prodigy. That's incredibly obvious. How could anyone even think that he was? He's very good. There are many people who are just as good and better, his age, and younger. A prodigy is a person who doesn't need to practice, to be unusually good at something. I'm sure he didn't just pick up the guitar and play 'More Than Words' without any practive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.213.7.157 (talk) 10:12, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually, practicing has nothing to do with being termed a prodigy. Quoting from the Wikipedia article on child prodigy, "A child prodigy is someone who, at an early age, masters one or more skills far beyond their level of maturity. One criterion for classifying prodigies is: a prodigy is a child, typically younger than 18 years old, who is performing at the level of a highly trained adult in a very demanding field of endeavour." So, your definition is just your personal definition. More importantly, the reliable source in this article actually uses the term "prodigy", so it is appropriate for us to do so.

Not a prodigy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjAFtX_Ywg4 That video is from 2006, which is also the same year he started playing. I think that qualifies as a prodigy. 118.172.22.152 (talk) 10:14, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

History of Sungha's Education

I think there should be the article about his history of enthusiasm and training. How he became great at playing guitar. What did he study during his childhood and who taught him.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilson20072000 (talk • contribs)

We could only do that if there are reliable sources that talk about it. We would, however, not go into details like "who taught him", as that would be WP:UNDUE. If you know of such reliable sources, you could mention them here and we can see what can be incorporated. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:36, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

I know Wiki should have the definition for Reliable Source, but I wonder should it be a website or something? What's the proof to show that the website isn't lying and must be trusted? --Wilson20072000 (talk) 01:50, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

It would need to meet our guidelines for reliable sources. Websites very rarely meet this goal, unless they are the website of a newspaper or other mainstream media source. There are exceptions, the key being whether or not the website has a history of fact checking and clear editorial oversight. Self-published websites and blogs will never be reliable, except that for information of this type, Jung's blog itself may be legitimate (though it depends a lot on what the exact info is).

Aliases

For the purposes of the infobox, do social media tags count as "aliases"? I think this information belongs, if anywhere, only in the article main body. The advice at the infobox template is this:

"For listing official stage names for the act or solo artist other than the name in the |name= parameter. Also for the solo artist's legal name(s), or other officially authorized names that differ from their birth name. This field is not for nicknames such as "The Godfather of Soul" (James Brown) or "Nippy" (Whitney Houston), which are not the artists' official names."
