Naming

Take a look at CZ Talk:Naming Conventions#naming is separate from neutrality, only based on common use? - the article title name was decided with this discussion. (Chunbum Park 09:18, 9 May 2008 (CDT))

good job. Richard Jensen 14:18, 10 May 2008 (CDT)
thank you. (Chunbum Park 14:23, 10 May 2008 (CDT))

note on propaganda sounding sources

We'll use them only for statistics (i.e. coordinates, rainfall, Japanese names, Korean names). Contents that advocate for Japanese or Korean side should be used only to detail the arguments that each side is making. (Chunbum Park 14:13, 26 May 2008 (CDT))

i think your images are fine

I think your images are fine. I am not an expert but I would definitely but also upset if someone protested their validity. I don't see how they can be copy-righted if you drew them yourself. Tom Kelly 22:28, 28 May 2008 (CDT)

thank you ! : ) especially for maps, I think "referencing" is fine. I remember how map publishers research on previously published maps to make new editions but they're not copyrighted & at the same time they're "derivative work"s. (Chunbum Park 09:27, 29 May 2008 (CDT))

for ppl @ wikipedia

Kajimura, Hideki. "The Question of Takeshima/Tokdo," Korea Observer, Vol. 28, No. 3 (Autumn 1997), pp. 423-475

To presume that the existence of Takeshima ~ Tokdo was not known to those people who lived and engaged in farming on Ullungdo for several hundred years is caused by a prejudice regarding Koreans as half-witted.

...the Japanese government confirmed Takeshima/Ullungdo as Korean's inherent territory in 1696, and took the measure of prohibiting completely Japanese from making voyage there.

The word "voyage" (or crossing sea) means voyage to a foreign country (since a permit is not needed for going to a domestic island), and the fact that the Japanese/government issued a permit of voyage to Matsushima means that the Japanese government did not regard it as a Japanese territory...

During the heated anti-foreign campaign between 1952 and 1954 the notion that "Takeshima ~ Tokdo is Japan's inherent territory penetrated into the Japanese for the first time. This campaign was also utilized clearly as a means to push for Japan's military rearmament.

Van Dyke, Jon. "Who Owns Tok-Do/Takeshima? Should These Islets Affect the Maritime Boundary Between Japan and Korea?," Korea-America Joint Marine Policy Research Center, the University of Rhode Island, October 8, 2004.

Korea's claim to sovereignty over the islets is thus substantially stronger than that of Japan...

Fern, Sean. "Tokdo or Takeshima? The International Law of Territorial Acquisition in the Japan-Korea Island Dispute," Stanford Journal of East Asian Affairs, Vol. 5, No. 1. (Winter 2005) pp. 78-89.

This paper sets out to demonstrate why South Korea has a stronger claim to the Liancourt Rocks...

East Asia’s Troubled Waters – Part II - an article from the Yale Global Online, published on 2006-04-27.

Japan asserted its legal claim then, even though, based on the International Crisis Group’s review of historical records, Korea had a stronger claim.

I can understand that many people will doubt if my work here can be unbiased and accurate simply because I am a South Korean. However, I dare anyone to try to find a non-government, professional thesis or article that argues for the Japanese side. There is none. That is why I am so confident with what I write here. (Chunbum Park 08:46, 17 July 2008 (CDT))

Now, as for the article title (already decided here), there can be 2 frameworks that can be used - common use/commonality and international law. However, most English speakers do not know about the dispute at all, and "Liancourt Rocks" is not used exclusively in English - both "Takeshima" and "Dokdo" are usually included by the same literature as well. Then, if there is no established common use, we have to use the official name or the native name of the islands. Well we have 2 so we have to choose 1. How? International law.

Climate and Ecology

Looking at the line that reads, "The study also found in Dokdo, 8 of the species that are endangered in Korea,[1] including the falcon, the Siberian honey buzzard, the owl, the black kite, the Japanese murrelet, and the swan." I find this a bit vague. The terms falcon, owl and swan are very general. Can we get more precise names for these birds. Derek Harkness 10:24, 18 July 2008 (CDT)
