WikiProject Korea/Dokdo and East Sea
Wikipedia is not a place for agendas. This task force would deal with only several articles like Liancourt Rocks, Sea of Japan, Rusk document. It would cause more disputes and edit wars. The suggester should've sought pre and long discussions with members of WikiProject Korea. However it is created by a user without any attempt to discuss the matter.--Caspian blue (talk) 18:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. A work group that was added to WP:KOREA earlier today by User:Ryuch without prior consultation or approval by other project members. Such a work group applies only to a very small number of articles, the content and naming of which is a constant source of dispute and controversy. I want to assume good faith, but this could be seen as a way of legitimising a certain POV under the banner of this WikiProject. A one man work group for a limited number of articles would hardly be a good idea at the best of times. PC78 (talk) 18:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * The editing articles would be K-J related articles not only Dokdo and East Sea. As it is stated, this project will not try to achieve a POV. As I suggested at the discussion page of Liancourt Rocks, I want to summarize the discussion in the form of an FAQ. Also I suggest to maintain the FAQ under this umbrella. You mentioned about the prior consultation or approval, I don't know the other working groups in this project had the similar process. If the consensus is the approval process is required, let me know the prior case for the process. I want to abide by the procedure by proposing this working group to the members of the project. --Cheol (talk) 23:56, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The very name of the work group is controversial because these are not the accepted names used on Wikipedia (the articles are at Liancourt Rocks and Sea of Japan). Such a work group would also fall under WP:JAPAN, so it would be advisable to approach both WikiProjects to see if a) it is a good idea, and b) whether or not anyone is interested.

 * I think it seems there exists a larger scale NPOV. Those names in use do not reflect the NPOV. I suggest to found this working group to help the community find out the neutrality. By using those names favored by some editors, I think it's not possible to neutralize. Do you think it's possible? --Cheol (talk) 00:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Then you have to participate in a discussion of those articles or raise an issue with good rationales and evidences. The task force under the project is not a good trying.--Caspian blue (talk) 03:11, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Userfy as a proposal, pending further discussion with the WikiProject. -- Ned Scott 06:01, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - seems like an attempt at POV pushing in a specific area. It's theoretically possible that 'territories disputed between Korea and Japan' could be a suitable topic for a Wikiproject task force, but only if it was composed of neutral editors dedicated to protecting the current consensus, which is obviously not the case here.
