Kim Dong-wan
Hi. I noticed you changed the hanja on the Kim Dong-wan article. Usually when something like that is done, a source or at least an explanation is needed to show that the previous hanja were wrong and the new ones are correct. Actually, this should be done when making any change on any article (leave edit summaries). Can you share your reasoning for making the change? It'd be helpful to know where you got your information. Thanks. Shinyang-i (talk) 03:08, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

from here : http://www.baike.com/wiki/金东万 and if you google for 神话成员金东万 you can see all the results. if you think they're ALL incorrect you could inform them all. one by one.
 * Who is baike.com and why are they a reliable source? Koreans and Chinese don't always use the same characters for things.  Googling in Chinese for Korean information is probably not the best practice.  You changed hanja on other articles too, all from what they are on the Korean Wikipedia.  In the absence of other sources, I would trust a Korean wiki over a Chinese wiki when it comes to Korean names.  But no matter what, please don't make changes like that without starting a discussion on the talk page and providing multiple reliable sources with Korean origins, not Chinese-language materials.  I've reverted all of the changes you made. Please don't change them back unless you have much better evidence that they are wrong. Shinyang-i (talk) 03:05, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

where are your sources from then? korea? have you seen the birth certs of the celebs with your own eyes or did they write to you personally that their names in hanja are written in a specific way? if not, how can you be sure they're right and the chinese are wrong? if you can't trust the chinese on hanja then who can you trust? according to my knowledge and to what i've read, their hanja names can be written in several ways. what makes you think you're right? for eg. korean character 민 as in 이민호, in chinese you can write it as 珉, 闵, 玟or even 敏. you have no right to say you're right and others are wrong. when the korean celebs introduce themselves in chinese IN CHINA, thats the name that the public perceives. not the traditional words that sound the most similar to their korean names.


 * I didn't put their names in hanja, they've been there for a long time. That's how they are on the Korean wikipedia, too. Chinese sources are not valid in this circumstance, because these people, places, and objects are not Chinese.  We're not writing their names in CHINESE, we're writing them in Korean using Chinese characters.  It's not the same thing.  Chinese and Japanese don't use all Chinese characters the same way either.  There's even than one Chinese writing system currently in use!  It's really arrogant to say that Chinese people know how to spell KOREAN names better than KOREANS know how to spell their own names.  You even thought Koreans were too stupid to know the name of their own boat (Sewol), even though they're the ones that named it!  So again, do not change HANJA on KOREAN names without a RELIABLE KOREAN source.  If you think it's important, than add the name they use for publicity in China somewhere in the prose of the article, but don't remove the ACTUAL spelling of their name in hanja and don't pretend their Chinese publicity name is as important as their own real name.  This isn't a Chinese Wikipedia, and it's not normal to list the name by which everyone is known in every country/language on earth. Shinyang-i (talk) 02:42, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
