 * My opinion: all of the information being removed was reliably sourced, and the only “source” to prove otherwise is unreliable per WP:KO/RS. For that reason, I see no reason for the information to have been removed repeatedly. Alexanderlee (talk) 16:52, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The original sources of the articles you mentioned were written by Korean journalists based on Yoo's tweets. They are not reliable too because they barely gave the context and real situation there. In addition to that, the feminist issue in Korea is very complicated, and up until now even Korean themselves have divided opinions about it. There is a Megalia (misandrist group) vs Ilbe (misogynist group) that no other countries have. As foreigners, we should not just see the matter in one side only. Yoo Ah In's controversy was first derived not from his zucchini tweet but from his remark at twitter “Stop megalians who pretend to be feminists while candy coating hate”. You can see it in his twitter http://twitter.com/seeksik. So, if you want to get the reliable sources, you have to get a good interpreter to translate his tweets and some objective Koreans who understands the context. My suggestion is: write that he had a debate with netizens about feminism but don't jump into a conclusion that he is an anti-feminist Mimudy24 (talk) 17:24, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Nobody has stated that he is anti-feminist - one of the reliable (again, per WP:KO/RS) sources that you and the IP user removed even stated that he claims he is a feminist. However, being feminist doesn't mean that something you say isn't anti-feminist, and that is what was in the article, that he made an anti-feminist remark. Simply removing reliably sourced content, without discussion or at least evidence of reliable sources against what was written (not just a twitter post and your own opinion) isn't a good way to change the information.
 * I agree with the person on top, who I assumed to be Alexanderlee. Another point that I would like to make is that the contents that were removed are not about whether he is feminist or not. It is about him receiving backlash for the controversies that stated in the initial revision. He received media attention and was criticised by Korean netizens, hence his public image was hurt. All these were correctly placed under the "Public image" point. The contents were also reliably-sourced, as per WP:KO/RS. Heolkpop (talk) 03:19, 6 April 2018 (UTC)


 * 1 A feminist writer Lee Seon Ok stated that most people see Yoo Ah-in's post as an aggression to the public and the harmful effect of public shaming on the Internet, and that critics are ignoring the fundamental problems that he's pointing out. So, in my opinion, wikipedia should take the pro and contra articles for YAI's issue. Not only articles that prematurely judged/concluded that he's an anti-feminist, wiki should also allow sources that show DIFFERENT perspective on his issue FOR OBJECTIVENESS. And there should be a line in wikipedia that says about the divided opinion too. Therefore, since many articles state different opinions, Fukenash redaction should be changed. Lee Seon Ok's original Korean article is here from Oh My News, one of the most reliable media in South Korea. 2 Another article defending him.3 The article praises Yoo Ah In for throwing all over his body and destroying the collective consciousness of violence group while the media remains silent. Second article from Oh My News defending him too. 4 The writer points out that the situation right now, in lights of Yoo Ah In vs Megalia case, is ‘tolerance of intellectuals for the Mirroring Violence in pursuing political correctness’. She says that compared to the actions of Megalia, the attitude of intellectuals are even worst and unfair, since they have given legitimacy to Megalia’s behavior rather than discussing specifically and seriously about the validity of the Mirroring Violence. From Real News by a female journalist, Jang Il Ho, who writes for feminism studies. 5 One of the paragraph of the article says: Yoo Ah In’s ‘Megalia’ statements were directed to the online anarchistic feminism, who neither see their own problem nor have any consciousness, while witch-hunting innocent male and female individuals. They need to face reality. Yoo Ah In’s statements [about Megalia] reflect the public perception/sentiment/opinion on the group, just like they do on Ilbe. And after he posted those article, Yoo wrote his "apology" statement in Facebook. 6 where it doesn't show where he apologized for his statement. IF his FB message is not clear enough for them to see that he is not apologetic because he doesn't feel at fault, they can see his statement directly at twitter right after he wrote his Facebook message here. 7 He said "You want to continue fighting? Starting today, I will end all my consideration and begin an all-out war against online terrorism and their supporters. Want me to apologize? You should do it to me and to the entire nation, instead. I already said I would trust the mission to the experts. I’m going to ask for the qualification properly. Let’s see this together." Another article defending him and saying that he's a feminist. 8 It's written by a female journalist as well. She stated: "The feminist’s argument that “he is not a feminist” is destructive and overlooking the fact that there is a different understanding and conceptual definition of a feminist." "Is Yoo Ah In a feminist? There is more to this question than the exhausting “yes – no” arguments. The feminist mark/label means not only a simple self-identity, but also a task and a responsibility. Like other feminists, ‘Yoo Ah In’s feminism’ has the task of overcoming ‘romantic feminism’ –which shouts only an empty slogan ‘men and women are equal’ without resorting to intense learning/study and mediation/discussion."

 * Ah yes that comment was me, I’ve only noticed I forgot to sign now that you’ve pointed it out. you have valid points and valid information to add to the article, however the information removed was still accurate and valid. He did receive criticism, as Heolkpop said. Articles should be balanced, both praise and criticism if it exists, so by all means add that he was praised or whatever, but I still personally think that the criticism should remain because it is reliably sourced. Alexanderlee (talk) 07:28, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * In the sentence, “In late 2017, Yoo drew controversy for his anti-feminism comments which ended in Yoo making a public apology”, since many articles state different opinions as per Mimudy24’s talks, wiki should check Yoo’s apologized statement as well in accordance with his FB post http://Facebook.com/hongsik.uhm.14 because he clearly didn’t apologize. In addition, regarding the clause in the same sentence -"which ended in Yoo making a public apology"-, please read his statement directly at twitter here https://twitter.com/seeksik/status/937299775493255168 . He said "You want to continue fighting? Starting today, I will end all my consideration and begin an all-out war against online terrorism and their supporters. Want me to apologize? You should do it to me and to the entire nation, instead. I already said I would trust the mission to the experts. I’m going to ask for the qualification properly. Let’s see this together." So, based on his statement, it's clearly stated that he refused to apology because he believed he didn't do wrong/didn't make anti-feminist remarks.Therefore, the sentence Wiki made that reads: "In late 2017, Yoo drew controversy for his anti-feminism comments which ended in Yoo making a public apology." is not 100% correct.I suggest that correct line should be: "In late 2017, Yoo drew controversy for his ALLEGEDLY anti-feminism comments which sparked debate (I’d like you to count sources from the articles posted by Mimudy24)” He did say "sorry for being loud" in his FB post, not sorry for the feminism remarks. ailsick21

Proposed changes
Hi, I have added a few updates related to the subject, based on a number of reliable sources, the content which I believed is line with Wikipedia guidelines. However it was repeatedly removed (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) by an editor who has a history of conflict of interest (COI), as evidenced on their talkpage, and several other editors (1, 2, 3, 4) had also stepped in to revert their edits. The page is now fully protected and so I'm requesting the page to be restored to this version, before the removal of content. Thanks. Fukenash (talk) 14:59, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * First, get consensus for these edits from other editors. Then we can unprotect the article and they can be made.  Please stop trying to make this happen on your time schedule.  If you are right, others will confirm you are right by a developing consensus, and then it will happen.  Participate in discussion, allow others to give their perspective, and give it time to work.  -- Jayron 32 18:30, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with Fukenash. The information was reliably sourced and only an unreliable source was provided in attempt to prove otherwise. Please refer to my above comments. Alexanderlee (talk) 18:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * OK. -- Jayron 32 19:12, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I’d like to give my opinion in this part as well please. In the sentence, “In late 2017, Yoo drew controversy for his anti-feminism comments which ended in Yoo making a public apology”, since many articles state different opinions as per Mimudy24’s talks, wiki should check Yoo’s apologized statement as well in accordance with his FB post http://Facebook.com/hongsik.uhm.14 because he clearly didn’t apologize.

You should do it to me and to the entire nation, instead. I already said I would trust the mission to the experts. I’m going to ask for the qualification properly. Let’s see this together." So, based on his statement, it's clearly stated that he refused to apology because he believed he didn't do wrong/didn't make anti-feminist remarks.Therefore, the sentence Wiki made that reads: "In late 2017, Yoo drew controversy for his anti-feminism comments which ended in Yoo making a public apology." is not 100% correct.I suggest that correct line should be: "In late 2017, Yoo drew controversy for his ALLEGEDLY anti-feminism comments which sparked debate (I’d like you to count sources from the articles posted by Mimudy24 in Page Protected as well, thanks.)” He did say "sorry for being loud" in his FB post, not sorry for the feminism remarks. - - User: ailsick21 —Preceding undated comment added 15:39, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
