Korean name[edit]

Review commentary[edit]

The article is poorly written and poorly organised. Referencing is not FA standard. Also, is it comprehensive? --Kaypoh (talk) 04:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was reviewed a year ago. I don't see problems; please identify the issues you see. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unreferenced paragraphs, short paragraphs, long lead section, article looks messy. When I say all the sentences, a few things don't sound right (that's how I check for language problems because my English is not that good). A few others pointed out problems. --Kaypoh (talk) 13:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article is indeed badly organized and badly worded in spots, but it contains quite a lot of useful information. With a total reorganization and thorough copyeditting, it should be alright. Zocky | picture popups 12:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is it that the Featured Article standards have increased dramatically or that the article has fallen into disrepair? --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 12:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Some information on the specific concerns would be helpful. -- Visviva (talk) 15:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. These comments are all rather vague and of little use; without identifying specific problems, I'm not sure what people expect to be done with the article. PC78 (talk) 20:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, one thing that is relatively easy to take care of is better formatting for the notes. I'm planning to set aside some time for that this weekend. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:41, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I formatted some of the References, also clustered References and External Links by language. Rosiestephenson (talk) 23:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the most glaring problems were fixed by my rewrite of the intro, however, the article still has problems:
  • It's unclear whether women in South Korea have generational names at all (I assumed that they do in the intro, but the section is unclear on that).
  • There's barely any information about common personal names.
  • All sections confusing to read in places.
  • Some of the history section is not directly about the names.
  • There's no overall feel to the article that it represents a solid overview of the subject.
Hope that helps somewhat. Zocky | picture popups 10:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Zocky, can you be specific onto particularly which section is hard to read? I read over the article, and haven't found a particular section which may be confusing to either Korean or non-Korean readers. L46kok (talk) 14:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary[edit]

Suggested FA criteria concerns are prose (1a), referencing (1c), and comprehensiveness (1b). Marskell (talk) 16:30, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
