Talk:Sinuiju

Well...
There doesn't seem to be much response to the shi/si problem around here. I've decided to start doing something about it.


 * 1) In both standard McCune-Reischauer and North Korean M-R, the city is Sin&#365;iju.
 * 2) As mentioned on the KCNA site sometimes, the city is spelt Sinuiju.
 * 3) Google test. Shinuiju vs. Sinuiju.

I think these are quite sufficient reasons to have the article at Sinuiju. The "Shin&#365;iju" spelling came from the 1984 - 2000 South Korean M-R system. "Shi" is not standard M-R. (Check the links from Wikipedia's own McCune-Reischauer article.)

Please leave your thoughts here. Thanks!

SAR
Is Sinuiju the same as the SAR, or is the SAR close to Sinuiju and named after it? Online sources give conflicting answers. Does anyone know? -- ran (talk) 21:45, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)


 * Surely they are different things. I can't imagine the whole Sinuiju city's Korean residents enjoying capitalist privileges. -- KittySaturn 17:39, July 17, 2005 (UTC)


 * I take that back - they are indeed different things, but the SAR seems to encompass about two-thirds of Sinuiju city plus parts of three other counties. I have now updated the Sinuiju Special Administrative Region article. -- KittySaturn 02:39, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Sinanju
Was this called Sinanju at one time?--Jondel 07:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

IPA Pronunciation
I'm not familiar with Korean pronunciation, but I noticed the IPA is written as si.nɰi.dzu. Should the syllables match the hanja, such as sin.ɰi.dzu? Perhaps also to include the standard pronunciation of 新 and 州, ɕin.ɰi.t͡ɕu (as per Wiktionary)?
