when did Kiwi Ko renounce South Korean citizenship?
I couldn't help but notice that South Korea is missing from the nationalities in the fact box. Perhaps a Kiwi Wikipedian would care to explain why this is so? I ask this because I have noticed that in other articles about famous people, even for those not born in New Zealand, if a person does indeed have Kiwi citizenship, perhaps through a parent, this is always mentioned, even when it plays no part in the notability of the person concerned. Presumably Kiwi Wikipedians have determined that Kiwi Ko being born in South Korea in no way contributes to her notability. That's fine. But what we need is some consistency. There are a number of articles on the Wikipedia where Kiwi nationality is mentioned, in cases in which I would contend that any possible Kiwi nationality is irrelevant to the notability of the person in question. I would like to change some of these articles to reflect this, but fear starting an edit war with some of the more aggressive Kiwi Wikipedians. Theodore D (talk) 05:18, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Ko is a New Zealand citizen, has lived in NZ since she was a preschooler, travels on a New Zealand passport, and was required by South Korean law to renounce her Korean citizenship (dual citizenship not allowed by that country). She self-identifies as a New Zealand citizen (see her website). The factbox mentions that she was born in Seoul, and the first sentence of the article gives her Korean name in Hangeul. With regards to your assertion that Kiwi Wikipedians can be "aggressive", I see from your identity page that you have made insulting comments on other NZ-related topics ("Pavlova" being one example). I would suggest that you choose more neutral language when commenting on articles.

Lyds??
is that really Kiwi Ko's nickname, or is it one manufactured for Kiwi Ko by the NZ Institute of Golf?Theodore D (talk) 21:17, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It's really her nickname, according to Ko herself: http://www.lydiako.co.nz/profile

Nominating for main page "In the News"
I'm going to nominate this article for inclusion in the "In the News" section on the main page, with the update on Ko being the youngest player to win Player of the Year. I'm not familiar enough with the sport though to update the page with her wins from this tournament - here's a source which states them, is someone else able to update the article correctly? Thanks! http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/golf/74299573/lydia-kos-emotional-rollercoaster-ends-on-high-at-tour-championship MurielMary (talk) 23:09, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * And here's a link to the nomination, just in case others want to have a look at it.  Schwede 66  00:17, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Infobox image
With this edit, I moved the MNZM instalation picture to the infobox and lede. It is the most recent picture of her in Wikimedia Commons. We need a 2021 picture which more recently and better represents her. Typically, this will require copyright release from one of her sponsors or a publication. Zefr (talk) 18:34, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
