Talk:Ulsan

Hotels or accommodations
Unless it's the hotels that the city is famous for, then information about accommodations seem inappropriate for an encyclopedia and is probably much more appropriate in its entry in WIkitravel. YooChung 07:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation
How is the name pronounced? According to Korean phonology, tends to become  rather than. Is this the case with Ulsan? Is it or ? - Gilgamesh (talk) 22:20, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It is in Standard Korean, with a short first syllable (for those still making vowel length distinctions). The Pyojun Gugeo Daesajeon provides pronunciation keys when the spelling is ambiguous. In the local dialect, however, I have a feeling that  and  would be merged, so that you would have the non-standard . Actually, Korean  is aspirated as well as lenis, and the fortis  is for virtually all intents and purposes identical to  in most other languages, but this is a whole other can of worms. --Iceager (talk) 13:29, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * For further clarification, this was not a case of ambiguous spelling as I originally thought. The fortis pronunciation in  is regular, because in Sino-Korean words like "Ulsan" (the vast majority of major Korean place names are Sino-Korean with the notable exception of "Seoul")  triggers the fortition of the following tautomorphemic coronal obstruents, , and  to , , and  respectively. So in addition to Ulsan  you have Uljin   and Paldang.
 * For the status of the Korean, you can consult "The Acoustics of Korean Fricatives Revisited" by Charles B. Chang for a summary of the debate whether to group it as part of the lenis or the aspirated series. It is true that it displays characteristics associated with both aspirated plosives and lenis plosives at the phonetic level, though it doesn't necessarily follow that it should be grouped as part of the lenis and aspirated series at the same time at the more abstract phonological level. My actual inclination would be to reserve judgement and describe it simply as non-fortis, since only the two-way distinction with the fortis is salient. Iceager (talk) 10:22, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

World's Largest...
Is it the world's largest plant operated by Hyundai? Or is it the world's largest plant, operated by Hyundai? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.56.131.92 (talk) 01:19, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Shipyard
What's the name of the shipyard? It seems notable, should be stubbed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Changes to History and Economy sections
Hi everyone. I've added a brief history section, although there is certainly a lot of room for expansion. I hoped to find reference to Ulsan's role in WW2 past the Battle of Ulsan. Perhaps somebody with access to more specific history sources will fill that in at some point.

I also removed the "shipping" subheading under economy. HHI is a shipbuilder, not a shipper, and the petroleum refinery info only fit "shipping" very loosely. HHI now has its own section, "shipbuilding," and I moved the refinery info to "petroleum." There are a lot of changes happening with HHI and Ulsan right now, with the purchase of DSME by HHI. This section will likely need updating as the details of that merger become more apparent, as well as the effects on the city and its shipyard. Skeletor3000 (talk) 18:37, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
