Mumun Man
''' I am new to Wikipedia. Nice to meet you all. I am a professional archaeologist and I intend to add and edit content related to Northeast Asian prehistory and archaeology. My email is archaeology2 "at" korea.com. Please email me with your suggestions. 부탁 드리겠습니다. 한국 선사시대 만세!

thank you for your contributions, but i don't understand your statement that there is no archeological evidence of gojoseon. aren't there plenty of artifacts, including bronze swords, arrowheads, etc evidencing gojoseon culture? sure, there is no proof of a centralized state government, but that's not the same as saying no archeological evidence of gojoseon. Appleby 07:04, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

also, the three kingdoms are generally considered to have been founded near 0 AD by historians, originally as chiefdoms that eventually became kingdoms. even if archeological evidence of a centralized kingdom comes later, it is still a continuous entity with the same name. archeologists & historians have different views, just because we have not found archeological evidence yet does not mean written records are wrong. please reconsider your edits. Appleby 07:09, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

HI! I was sorry to change your fine work. Why don't we add in the concerns that you list here in your article as a way to explain the important issues that you mention. Please do not be upset, but distributions of artifacts, even if they are bronze daggers, do not make a "state" or even a polity. Yoon Nae-hyeon, the scholar who popularized the "existence" of Gojoseon, is a well-known ultra-nationalist and many feel that he greatly twisted the evidence. Secondly, historians use 0 AD as the start of state-level societies, but there is absolutely no archaeological evidence of this. Most English books on Korean history are extremely old and frightenly out of date -- they don't even teach that in Korean middle schools anymore. Archaeological evidence suggests that state-level societies formed in the 3rd century AD.

I apologize but I am of the view that historical Chinese texts were first written through third- or fourth-hand sources by scribes who lived far far away from Korea. We need to be very careful with the content from these sources. I don't think it is advisable to present material from the two ancient Korean texts as "truth" because even professional Korean historians would never do that. We should reflect the current state of the disciplines of archaeology and history. I intend to add as citations as possible to strengthen these arguments, but very little is written in English. I guess I have to find out if Korean sources are acceptable for English articles in Wikipedia, though. I am in agreement with your aims here and I hope you will not take this as a slight. Korea is an important country and we carry great responsibility to present this to readers. Thank you very much for starting this and I hope we can talk often ^^. 수고하세요!

Megaliths
Hi Mumun Man, thank you for your message. Please add what you can to the articles to make them more international - Dolmen talks briefly about Korean tombs but I must apologise for giving the impression that megalithic tombs are a European tradition in that article. This is part of a general bias in the English Wikipedia in that each editor can only write about what he knows. I look forward to reading your additions. Best wishes adamsan 08:51, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

A thank-you note
Hi! I'm a fellow Korean editor myself, and I've been working on Korea-related articles and History of Korea-related articles. I've seen you've made lots of contributions to ancient history of Korea. Thank you for contributions to those articles! Best Regards Deiaemeth 07:48, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

liaoning article
since this is your area of expertise, i was wondering if you had come across the article Liaoning bronze dagger culture. it's not linked to a lot of related articles right now. also, i know you made some good points about articles like Gojoseon being too, umm, optimistic. i've tried to be more specific in recent editing, even if still not purely archeology-based. please let me know what you think. thanks. Appleby 22:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * to rename the article title, simply click on the "move" tab at the top of the page. this will work most of the time, but if not, you have to request a move at WP:RM
 * sources don't have to be in english, and you will find many uncontroversial details in wikipedia cited to local language sources. but english sources are preferred over foreign language sources, especially in cases of inconsistency or controversy. in your example, i would say you can try to add the information, unless the info is disputed or contradicted by reputable english sources. see WP:UE and WP:V for more. Appleby 17:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

perhaps it's just because you are too busy to make the various changes you suggest, but please feel free to correct errors yourself and add your knowledge to various articles. articles are not "owned" by any previous editor, although some people, including myself, unfortunately feel possessive of our own work. Be Bold! if you make a mistake or a controversial claim, you'll hear about it, but we need more people actively making wikipedia a more accurate encyclopedia. thanks. Appleby 23:38, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

new Portal:Korea
User:Visviva has worked hard to create a brand new Portal:Korea. Please take a look & contribute if you can. I think the new Template:Korea topics has the potential to be a more useful reference tool than categories or lists, if editors continue to expand and update it. It's also a good reminder for help & requests on ye olde notice board. Hopefully, this will help revive some activity all around. Appleby 22:16, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

안녕하세요, 반갑습니다 ^_^
Hello, Mumun. :) It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm what you might call a "서울 촌놈," a city boy who doesn't know much about his country. Your comments on Samcheonpo have reminded me that there's a lot I don't know, lots of things of beauty that I'm just missing. Thank you. ^^ --Kjoonlee 00:58, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello
Thanks for joining Wikiproject Korea WP:KO. I didn't know of your contributions because I do not know much of Korean prehistory. Anyways, thanks for joining and I hope you will make Korean history articles much better.

I'm Korean but I live in the United States. I can read and write in Korean but I am a little shabby at it.

Good additions

 * Hi Mumun, I like your additions to the K.C. Chang article. I respect your well-balanced approach to archaeology and history, so it's good to see you back being active on the Wikipedia again.--Confuzion 03:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your information
I read your talk in my page about Pai, Hyung-Il. I also found her books titled "Korean Origins: A Critical Review of Archaeology, Historiography, and Racial Myth in Korean State Formation Theories" in 2000. She says that the history of Korea cannot be earlier before than 108BC. I did not read her recent research, but her earlier work was worse than Japanese colonized historians. As I discussed in Nangnang nation's discuss page, her book is garbage. According to her theory, all history books in China and Korea before 108BC are novels because the history books say that Gojoseon was the same age with Emperor_Yao. --Hairwizard91 05:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I doubt that she saw the relics in Nangnang of Pyongyang. ^^ I am sure she did not see even one of Nangnang treasure and relics. It is very funny that she wrote the paper without seeing the relics of nangnang. --Hairwizard91 06:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I also encourage you read this book( This is summary of the book) by North Koreans if you can obtain and you are interested at. --Hairwizard91 06:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Gyeongju Basin
Thanks for the note. That's great news; I'll look forward to reading the published version of his paper, if I am fortunate enough to be able to access it. I greatly enjoyed reading it the first time; he provides a unique perspective on the historical geography of Gyeongju.

Thanks also for dropping by at Talk:State of Nangnang. I am very happy that a highly-qualified person such as you is willing to put up with the silliness that often prevails on Wikipedia... :-) I hope you'll continue to stick around and keep an eye on things.

For my part, I've mellowed on Hairwizard -- at least he doesn't post poorly-spelled anonymous notes calling me a "빙신 쉑" anymore -- but I do wish he would take a somewhat less confrontational approach. But the wiki giveth and the wiki taketh away... Cheers, -- Visviva 12:08, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

JJajangmyeon or Jjamppong ?
I see your comment in Nangnang nation, and replied to your comment. Which do you prefer to? Jjajangmyeon or Jjamppong. I am in Ohio US. By the way, ancient Korean history is not funny stuff. It is war with China and Japan. Can you please keep in mind....? Especially, Gojoseon(Gija, Wiman), Goguryeo, Balhae, Chinese commandery(Nangnang, Daebang), etc. --Hairwizard91 02:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hongshan culture
Do you know or can you suggest some literature about Hongshan culture (홍산문명, 紅山文明)? I want to examine whether this culture is by Korean or not. Based on historical records, this culture is established by Korean. 아참 그리고 헤어위저드는 우리말로 머털도사입니다 ㅋㅋ--Hairwizard91 02:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. So, you suggest two english books for hongshan culture. one is Nelson book and the other is Barnes's book. Can you give the exact title (I could not get the Korean book now)? As you know I am not expertise in this area.

By the way, I am so sure the hongshan culture was by korean, at least north or east barbariana as chinese call, because historical book supports it. Thus I want to examine the features of the culture. As far as I know, hongshan culture is different from Huangha황하 culture, and hongshan culture is rooted from north west area(I may be wrong... It is not based on the knowledge of scientific manner). Anyway, the area of Liaoning, Liaodong and east Hebei was the area of Korean in ancient times based on the history book such as Gyuwon Sahwa and Hwandan gogi. Moreover, there was theory of West Xia East Yi Theory (이하동서설) though the Yi tribe may not equal to the Dongyi. Certainly, Hongshan culture may be related with Shinshi, Chiwoo, Hwanung and Hwanin. ^^. Some nantionalistic scholars also have a view point like me. I just want to open all kinds of possibility. --Hairwizard91 12:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

About North east project
The north east project of China is not based on the Joseonjok(조선족), and this project is launched by the president of China. 공산주의라서 가능한것같습니다. Their saying is as follows. Korea is offspring of Samhan and Silla, and Korean has no relation with Gojoseon. In addition, China is a multi race nation. So, Gojoseon is succeeded by Goguryeo, and Goguryeo is succeedded by Balhae. Most of offspring of Goguryeo and Balhae have been absorbed and lived in Chinese territory. Actually, many north east barbarian such as Khitan, Malgal, Xianbei, and Xiongnu is now part of Chinese history. Chinese historical thoery is territorial principle(속지주의). Moreover, Korean ancestor is started from Jin (Korean history), of which existence is actually very vague if you read primary source about Jin (Korean history). These chinese theory has slightly related with the theory of korean main stream historians. They do not consider Gojoseon as real history. They only think it is myth. So, the three kingdoms of Korea has no relation with each other. I am not sure I have well explained. Shortly,

Gojoseon --> Buyeo --> Goguryeo --> Balhae --> China. Jin (Korean history) --> Samhan --> Baekje, Gaya, Silla --> Goryeo --> Joseon -- Korea

In some point of view, the main stream historians support the theory of Chinese north east project because korean main stream historians denied to consider gojoseon as real history, and other main stream historian says that Gojoseon was located in Pyongyang. Actually, the main area of Gojoseon was Liaoning and Liaodong as bronze dagger distribution show it.

Koreans think that China want to make the land of north korea as their territory when north korea is destroyed as well as Joseonjok's uprising agains china main government.--Hairwizard91 13:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

For your information about Nangnang
Thanks for your reply. Nangnang is described in so conflicted ways, so research is also conflicted. Samguk sagi says that
 * From point of Silla
 * Nangnang attacked Silla from North area (not from western north).
 * Nangnang is destroyed by Gogurey at AD 37, and then the remaining people of Nangnang entered Silla(It is also weird. Nangnang had attacked silla and entered to silla when they were destroyed. If Nangnang is chinese commandery, they should enter china or Han).
 * At AD 300, Two states of Nangnang and Daebang were surrender(항복) to Silla(Who is Nangnang now?).


 * From point of goguryeo
 * At AD 32, Goguryeo destroyed Nangnang
 * At AD 37, Goguryeo destroyed Nangnang AGAIN. (Same nation were destroyed two times).
 * At AD44, Han attacked Nangnang and make their territory
 * At AD 146, Goguryeo send army to Liaodong and arrest the wife of governor of Nangnang after killing the local govenor of Liaodong. (Nangnang is now in Liaodong)
 * At AD313 Goguryeo attacked Nangnang (At AD 300, Nangnang is surrendered to Silla. Whos is this?).


 * From Baekje point of veiw
 * Nangnang is located at east part of Baekje (weird isnt it? East of Baekje is silla)
 * At AD304, Baekje attacked west part of Nangnang (If nangnang were pyongyang, Baekje should have attacked south part).

You may not be interested in, but it is information for the main article. It is too conflicted. isnt it? It is so sure there were more than two Nangnang; One is in Liaodong and the other is east of Baekje (I dont understand why Nangnang is considered to be located at Pyongyang). Based on the records, the current relics in Pyongyang has a possiblity such that the current Pongyong's relics is established by Mahan or Gojoseon. The location is not matched with records if Pyongyang's relics is established by Nangnang commandery or state whatever. As you read primary sources, you can see how much korean ancient history is distorted by Japanese colonists.--Hairwizard91 14:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Korean wikipedia
Actually it's just as easy as making an account here; pick a username and a password, and you're ready to start. Mercifully, the cruel irrationality of Korean internet law has yet to reach Wikimedia. I have an account there myself, but seldom use it as it's so very much easier to write in my native language. I probably should edit more over there; it would certainly help to improve my Korean composition skills, which at present I would assess as "X" for Execrable. :-) ... Glad the feedback was useful to you.  Thanks once again for your indispensable contributions.  Cheers, Visviva 12:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Bangudae
Mumun man: Thanks for the compliment. Sorry for the late reply, I haven't signed on here on a long time. And will try to avoid doing so again for a while hopefully. I have had not had a chance to read up on those books you have mentioned but they look like a good read. The paleolithic hypothesis is interesting because the glyphs, in my opinion, seem incongruent with contemperaneous Korean bronze age artifacts of the time. (Any other books in English you could suggest?) Unfortunately my main sources for the article were things online like the Cultural Heritage Administration and one scholarly paper which was more on erosion of the petroglyphs than the cultural importance of them. I'm glad that someone has been working and organizing Korean archaeological information on the site and backs up their reasoning with sources, etc.. Please keep up the good work. Hopefully I will make some contributions soon. Tortfeasor 23:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:Swan River (Montana)
Hi Mumun - that's all right, it looks like someone else has fixed it up anyway. It's always worth looking at the history of articles when you nominate something for speedying! Grutness...wha?  22:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hi there. It doesn't seem to have happened, though. I'm not sure the situation is entirely critical: some kid with time on his hands; he'll get over it. If you want the page protected, the thing to do is to speak to an administrator: haven't got time just at the moment to check around, but any of the repeatedly-vandalised articles (such as "George W. Bush") will show in its history who has come to the aid of good-faith editors by protecting articles temporarily in such circumstances. Masalai 20:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * In fact, I have just noted that the latest reversion of vandalism on that page is by one Nishkid64 who is himself an administrator. So perhaps you could speak with him about protecting the page: obviously he's taking an interest. Masalai 21:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


 * "Let's work on Culture in Regina" by way of adding and improving content, you mean, or by way of discouraging vandalism? I've found that there is a certain resistance among certain of that good city's burgers who participate in the editing of that series of articles to what is perceived as an excessive focus on the highfalutin. Masalai 08:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Possibly now, yes, it is time to invoke the big guns with respect to this silly kid who is vandalising the Regina article. (I am somewhat loathe to get into such a discussion early on in the piece, having been accused of nefarious purposes from time to time myself.) Nishkid64 seems willing to help. What was your question, though, about the Culture in Regina article? Masalai 10:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandals
Hi,

Looks like you found the right place, i.e. Requests for Protection. Since there were just a few IPs involved, the admin chose to block those IPs rather than semi-protecting the page. Admin Intervention is also a good place, although as you can see the procedures there are rather complicated. You may know this already, but you can put on a vandal's talk page as a final warning before requesting a block. Cheers, -- Visviva 04:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Culture in Regina
Conceivably. As I say, there is a certain amount of resistance among regular contributors to the Regina article to matters highfalutin. I was taxed some time back with being excessively preoccupied with church organs about the city. If you have a useful contribution as to culture in Regina, by all means make it, but we are, after all, talking about a provincial prairie Canadian city of some 200,000.... Masalai 13:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

sprotection
No problems, shared IPs are a problem I hate blocking University IP. Anyhow being bold could I ask you to have a look at Kofun period it seams to touch an area of your interest but you haven't edited it and there's a content dispute. I'd appreciate an opinion of the dispute if your interested, or maybe you'd like to join the discussions. Gnangarra 15:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

shows fans with "timer knobs" on them. That's evidence enough. 1ne 19:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * What comments are you talking about? 1ne 22:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm not responsible for this edit. 1ne 22:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The last thing I have to say...I wasn't trying to "prove" that fan death exists by showing you a picture. It doesn't. I was proving to you that "timer knobs" exist on South Korean fans, which is what the citation needed-tagged sentence said. 1ne 19:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Images
M: Hi. I thought I might have read somewhere you were looking for some photos. Here is an image that I thought might interest you:. All I know is that the person who took the picture said it is from the Neolithic and the picture was taken at the National Museum of Korea. I figure you would know best where to put it. Most of the images that I have found are not from prehistory but there are some pots from Gaya, Silla, etc. here: if you're interested. I hope that helps. Tortfeasor 01:35, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Oops. Forget to link here too. Someone has added a couple of dolmen pictures since I've been away. Tortfeasor 01:45, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * M: Just wanted to make sure you knew that those images are already uploaded.  You can just edit them in.  I would put the Neolithic jar in the right article but I just figured you would better know where to put it.  If you want to just tell me which article to put it in, I would be happy to do that.  Thanks for your time.  Tortfeasor 04:43, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Greetings
Hi, nice to meet you. Thanks for the support over the bold headings - I don't visit the page often so if you could revert any attempts to put the giant sub-headings back I would appreciate it! If you want any help with that or other articles just let me know. John Smith&#39;s 15:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi!
Your comments on the Korea under Japanese rule was very interesting! That was exactly the feeling I had.

User Appleby, Taeguk warrior, etc. - I thought they were all reliable guys but they turned out to be sock puppets. Only people I really know are Good friend100 kitestring and Visviva.

And then there are mobilizations from JPOV editors (as proven by another Korean Wikipedian) centered around Japanese-language based forum websites (2ch.net).

Recently I've seen many JPOV anonymous users. It's really hard to understand what's going on nowadays. Another thing is how WikiProject Korea seems to be dead. Japanese invasions of Korea has been the collaboration of the month for .... 5 months? Portal Korea has not been touched for a long long time.

Good luck & my sincerest greeting. (Wikimachine 06:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC))

Page protection
Page protection consists of two parts: adding the page protection template to the page as a sort of "beware of dog" sign, and then actually protecting the page. Nothing prevents any random user from typing sprotected in an edit box, but only an administrator can actually lock down a page. Looking over the history on Mayor Quimby's talk page, I can confirm that while he stuck the template on the page, it wasn't really protected. Bearcat 16:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Requests for mediation/Goguryeo
It seems you are at least aware of the Goguryeo disputes. Since you appear to be knowledgeable about Korean history & arhaeology, it would help if you joined the mediation. The following is a quote from User:Daniel, from the mediation committee, explaining how to join:
 * "If you are involved in this dispute, and feel you should be a 'party' to the Mediation, please [ add yourself to the list of participants], [ agree to mediation], and contact Armed Blowfish to arrange an account on the private Wiki. Armed Blowfish (mail) and  Daniel , 07:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)"

Remaining exchange with a sockpuppet of the petty vandal User:Mayor Quimby

 * Great! Nobody ever welcomed me before and I have been around for almost two years. I would have liked to be welcomed by a fellow editor, but thank you Anon. IP! Hey -- can you give me a BARNSTAR also?!? I've been working so hard at Wikipedia. Hee hee Mumun 無文 11:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the barnstar as it is probably inappropriate for an anon. IP sockpuppet of Mayor Quimby to give such a thing. The text inserted into the text of the barnstar is rude and could be considered a personal attack as per No personal attacks. I also removed a vandalism warning since I did not engage in vandalism as defined in WP:Vandalism.Mumun 無文 12:21, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, it could be. I'm a longtime pacifist though, and I don't really want to go there. Quimby (207 is assuredly the same person) is a crock, to be sure but he'll get tired. He is, in all likelihood, a young kid -- have you considered that? Masalai 21:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Compromise Regina Neighbourhoods
I have posted a compromise to the issues in the Talk:Regina Neighbourhoods. It is my hope that this will lead to a solution over the disputed figures and edits. I also hope that this will eliminate future accusations as to my identity and/or relation to other banned users. I would appreciate that you read over the compromise and comment on it. I just want to find a solution, that will satisfy all parties.--207.81.56.49 07:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
