Talk:Kim Shin (general)

Article title change
Hey,

Sincere thank you for creating the article. Help is always appreciated here. However, the WP:QUALIFIER "general officer" is a bit unusual; most people will read "general" to mean "usual". Either "general" or "military officer" would have worked, but not "general officer" imo.

Is it ok if we rename the article "Kim Shin (general)"? toobigtokale (talk) 05:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I understand what you mean. I contemplated it. But general have two meanings. For example, General means all kind of general officers and 4 star general. And there are so many articles of American generals in English Wikipedia. So I selected general officer to clarify. Let me sleep on it. I have a question. Are you English native speaker? Anyway thanks for your advice.

 * I think that 'General' cause confusion. Is there no need to worry? Footwiks (talk) 10:36, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Using "General" is common practice for parenthetical disambiguators, even for generals across many different cultures and time periods. You can click through various pages from here and see they all use "general", even if their specific rank differed. toobigtokale (talk) 17:19, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hm actually now I'm seeing that several pages use the "general officer" disambiguator. Like this Kim Suk-won (general officer) and this Bikram Singh (general officer). Maybe it's ok; I just didn't really know about the distinction. toobigtokale (talk) 17:24, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, I agree on "General" is common practice. I amended the titles. I can't change one title
 * Can you move? John Pope (general officer) => John Pope (general)
 * Any Thanks for your advice. Footwiks (talk) 09:16, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, just saw this sorry.
 * Hm that article was able to get "good article" status with that title. I'm personally not too familiar with military ranks, but I'm assuming the title was fine. I think the title on this article was possibly fine too, but again not sure. toobigtokale (talk) 23:08, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Missing info
Hi, I fleshed out the article a lot. I think it comfortably sits at a low C rating, as it's missing a lot of info from major parts of his life. A lot of the sources I used are also pretty mid-to-low quality (no peer reviewed sources, some source their info from him or his family), so third party academic books or articles are needed. toobigtokale (talk) 23:13, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
