"Baekryeong Island" sounds like "Bakery-On-Island" and "Baengnyeong Island" sounds like "Bang-knee-on-Island". --Shultz 06:50, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * For the record, actually the name sounds a lot more like "bang-nyung." -- Visviva 07:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

cleanup
Shultz III has requested: [article expand and reqphoto templates]

I have moved these from the article page. &mdash; Lomn Talk 16:06, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

The first two lines (in Korean) in References should be moved to the External links section. Shosai (talk) 08:47, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Importance
This Island is important. It may become involved in a war between North and South Korea, (Or hopefully only in peace talks) these days it is in the news. Note that an objective look in the map shows that logically it should belong to North Korea. Here is an article on recent events in the news: North fires artillery near South territory. Now is a good time to consider adding information in here. Ron64 (talk) 15:45, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

National treasures
In the Wik article on Korean Nat. Trea., there is no listing of the numbers given in the Baeklyeongdo article. Kdammers (talk) 01:03, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Inhabited?
Is the island inhabited? It would seem so, but this should be made explicit. Number of inhabitants and names of principal towns or villages would be nice too. Also info on the local economy. -- 85.179.127.236 (talk) 08:45, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Baengnyeong Island → Baengnyeongdo – For consistency with other rivers(gang or cheon), mountains(san), islands(do) in geography of South Korea. Sawol (talk) 20:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. We have a set of naming conventions for Korean geographic entries WP:NC-KO.  These conventions aren't set in stone, but they represent a consensus that has been established among multiple interested users, and it can't be changed piecemeal or by a single user.  I suggest taking up a proposal at the talk page for the naming conventions subpage.  It would be great if you could advertise the discussion to interested projects, etc.  --Amble (talk) 20:19, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Extra comment: My oppose to this requested move is specifically in opposition to moves of individual articles against the current naming convention. If you start a discussion of a change to the naming convention, you might well convince me that your proposal is better. --Amble (talk) 01:20, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose for the same reasons as Amble SLawsonIII (talk) 01:07, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Note : Join Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Korean).  Sawol (talk) 03:26, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

By Naming conventions (Korean), the full unhyphenated Korean name including do should be used, as in Baengnyeongdo. User:Amble and User:SLawsonIII are wrong. Sawol (talk) 07:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, my oppose is retracted. The Naming Guidelines do seem to prefer do over Island.  There are lots of other problematic island entries in Korea, by the way.  SLawsonIII (talk) 16:46, 3 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.


 * Note : I stand corrected regarding the previous guideline. I also note that Sawol honored my request to put together a proposal for guideline changes and that the guidelines have been modified accordingly.  Thanks.  --Amble (talk) 20:25, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
