Talk:Mahan confederacy

[Untitled]
I think this article has been properly moved from "Mahan" to "Mahan confederacy." however, there is a question of consistency, as "Gaya" had been recently moved to "Gaya Confederacy" (capitalized c), & Byeonhan & Jinhan remain without the word "confederacy." i tend to think all of them should be named "x confederacy" (uncapitalized), as confederacy was not a part of their name, afaik. also, maybe Samhan should be renamed Samhan confederacies?

challenging newly added section
It's clear to me that the new section that was added seven days ago, "Common etymologies of the Mahan Confederation and the Gojoseon Kingdom," is not proper historical scholarship and needs to be removed. The section claims that the names "Gojoseon" and "Mahan" are not native in origin but rather are biblical and European. It cites no outside, independent sources to support this claim and offers only a disjointed attempt to connect the two names to names in biblical scripture and Byzantine text that have alphabet letters in common. Clearly this is a biased attempt to impose Judeo-Christian history onto completely unrelated places and times.

I'm not experienced with this kind of situation on Wikipedia and was reluctant to simply delete the section and start a one-on-one squabble with its creator--at least not yet. For now I've tagged the section for NPOV reasons and ask that others please review the section. If it remains after 30 days I will remove it myself.

Culture section
I think it would be wise to add some sort of link or reference for the Records of the Three Kingdoms reference in the Culture section. The original text is this:

其俗少綱紀，國邑雖有主帥，邑落雜居，不能善相制禦. 無跪拜之禮. 居處作草屋土室，形如塚，其戶在上，舉家共在中，無長幼男女之別. 其葬有槨無棺，不知乘牛馬，牛馬盡於送死. 以瓔珠爲財寶，或以綴衣爲飾，或以縣頸垂耳，不以金銀錦繡爲珍. 其人性強勇，魁頭露紒，如炅兵，衣布袍，足履革蹻蹋. 其國中有所爲及官家使築城郭，諸年少勇健者，皆鑿脊皮，以大繩貫之，又以丈許木鍤之，通日嚾呼作力，不以爲痛，既以勸作，且以爲健. 常以五月下種訖，祭鬼神，群聚歌舞，飲酒晝夜無休. 其舞，數十人俱起相隨，踏地低昂，手足相應，節奏有似鐸舞. 十月農功畢，亦復如之. 信鬼神，國邑各立一人主祭天神，名之天君. 又諸國各有別邑. 名之爲蘇塗. 立大木，縣鈴鼓，事鬼神. 諸亡逃至其中，皆不還之，好作賊. 其立蘇塗之義，有似浮屠，而所行善惡有異. 其北方近郡諸國差曉禮俗，其遠處直如囚徒奴婢相聚. 無他珍寶. 禽獸草木略與中國同. 出大栗，大如梨. 又出細尾雞，其尾皆長五尺餘. 其男子時時有文身. 又有州胡在馬韓之西海中大島上，其人差短小，言語不與韓同，皆髡頭如鮮卑，但衣韋，好養牛及豬. 其衣有上無下，略如裸勢. 乘船往來，巿買韓中.

And it belongs to volume 30 of the Book of Wei. I'm not sure where the translation used was sourced from, but given that said translation is a little... hard to read, I think it would be a good idea to add that link with one of those little numbers so that people can find the original. Just an idea. Here it is on Wikisource: https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/三國志/卷30 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.152.197 (talk) 13:36, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

List of Mahan confederacy monarchs
This list has only 9 entries, much shorter than the list of statelets. Recently renamed Category:Monarchs of the Mahan confederacy proposed renaming the list as well, but simpler to merge it back into this main article. William Allen Simpson (talk) 02:42, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
