Kim Gu


Hi, I've listed this article because I'm a newbie and want to make sure my work has been worth it. I wanna get this page to featured-level quality eventually

Especially uncertain of:
 * 1) Formatting refs, especially those in other languages
 * 2) Quality of current refs, especially Monthly Chosun Ilbo refs. I think I need more peer reviewed print book sources, but they're usually unavailable as ebooks and unavailable for print in the US :(
 * 3) If copyright on current images looks fine

Minor confusion on:
 * 1) Level of detail so far
 * 2) If I should split any sections into separate articles

Some FYIs:
 * 1) Still WIP, missing 1945-1949 bio, expanding death/legacy section, also second pass on early life section
 * 2) I haven't gotten around to cleaning up ref info yet, but I do appreciate suggestions on how I should do it (or best of all, help doing it 🙌🏻)

Grateful for detailed feedback or help editing. I've already put around 1.5 months of time into it but feel like there's still months of effort left.

Comments from Z1720
I suggest bringing this article to WP:GAN before going for WP:FAC, as that process is a lot easier. Some comments after a quick skim:


 * Ensure that there is a citation at the end of every paragraph, minimum.
 * Bibliography section should be below the references.
 * Delete the selected quote section, it is not needed and can be transferred to Wikiquote
 * Personal life should be placed before death to keep the timeline.
 * Formatting of references is a little wonky, as you point out. WP:CS has information about this, and I highly recommend using the templates (as they contain the information that you need and will format everything for you.)
 * Images need to have a US public domain tag, in addition to the South Korean ones. See this link for more information] on which banner you should add to the images.
 * For splitting sections, typically for bios you don't need to split off, but if there is information about an event you might create a separate article for that event. This article should only document what this person has done and avoid extra information.

I hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 18:09, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
