 * No references (2c); lots of stubby paragraphs (2a). Tony 12:12, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Lead does not summarize the article. Rlevse 21:56, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Two many single sentence paragraphs as well. Fifty edits takes us back eight months... Marskell 19:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Main FA criteria concerns are lack of citations (2c), and LEAD (3a). Marskell 08:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Question... I wonder if we could get some feedback on whether the changes thus far have adequately addressed the concerns above? I'm curious to know how we're faring.  -- Visviva 14:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Looks like extensive work has been done (| edit comparison). That's great, but the prose still needs copy-editing to remove the many redundancies and to address other problems.
 * Although "hanja" is linked in the first sentence, a comma plus brief explanatory phrase is required immediately after it.
 * "Quite limited" is not good encyclopedic language (vague). Just "limited", or another word?
 * You mention "South Korea in the first para, so perhaps you need to deal with the fact that the same language is spoken thourghout the pensinsular, in North and South Koreas. (Is it?)
 * "Currently used today"—one of these words should be removed.
 * "List of" in the first para may be redundant.

Please find someone to copy-edit the whole article. It looks as though it has its supporters, and is worth saving. Tony 12:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Excellent work done here. The lead is vastly improved and the article subsequently details the info in the lead sequentially, which is nice to see. Citations are enough for an FA this size. Marskell 17:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Remove Very poorly referenced. Many statements and paragraphs have no citations at all, and the citations/references that are provided are sketchy. Footnote 16 says: (See External links for more on the Sōshi-kaimei policy.)  The External link is to a non-existent, personal website.  Footnote 16 references an entire paragraph.  Footnotes 3, 4 and 12 refer to other Wiki articles.  I can't tell what footnote 13 is supposed to be.  Sandy 00:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Holding off on remove, Visviva working on improving references. Sandy 03:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, now referenced, and improved. Sandy 16:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, much improved.--Peta 06:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think the only Korean-related article that is "featured" & referenced extensively. (Wikimachine 15:44, 29 September 2006 (UTC))
