Sea of Japan/East Sea
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your edits. I've consistently undone your changes of Sea of Japan to East Sea in the Korean Peninsula article. This is not because of any bias I hold for or against Japanese or Korean naming. It's simply because this is the English language Wikipedia and the convention is that here we use the most common English language version of the name - see WP:ENGLISH. In the case of this body of water that is clearly the Sea of Japan. I'm sorry if that doesn't suit your own point of view, but we need to strive to keep some WP:NPOV in this place. You should also know that there is an article which specifically deals with the Sea of Japan naming dispute which is referenced from the Korean Peninsula page and clearly provides the context for the naming dispute.

If you want to discuss this further can I suggest you leave a note on my talk page? Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:19, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
