Talk:Proto–Three Kingdoms period

Inconsistent dates
There is a serious problem here. The text says, "Generally considered the first three centuries of the Common Era,...," whereas the time-line used here and generally in Korean history articles says

Proto-Three Kingdoms: 108–57 BC Buyeo, Okjeo, Dongye Samhan: Ma, Byeon, Jin Kdammers (talk) 00:18, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Recent page move
I think the article should not have been moved. As "proto-" is a prefix and not an independent word, shouldn't it be hyphnated rather than endashed per WP:ENDASH? It says "An en dash is not used ... with an element that lacks lexical independence (the prefix Sino- in Sino-Japanese trade)". --Kusunose 00:43, 3 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Please read the rest of ENDASH. A prefix to an open compound (but not a hyphenated compound) is dashed, as in "post–World War II". — kwami (talk) 02:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry I missed that part. Thank you for the explanation. --Kusunose 02:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. Deor is quite correct, so it seems the proposer just did not read MOS:ENDASH carefully enough. Andrewa (talk) 02:38, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Proto–Three Kingdoms of Korea → Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea – 'Proto-' is a prefix. You do not use an en dash here. 14.200.68.118 (talk) 17:43, 11 May 2014 (UTC) 14.200.68.118 (talk) 17:43, 11 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose. MOS:ENDASH says that an en dash is used "instead of a hyphen, when applying a prefix (but not a suffix) to a compound that includes a space". In this case, the prefix proto- is being applied to the compound "Three Kingdoms", not just to three. The situation is exactly parallel to the "pre–World War II" example given in the MOS.
