Talk:Korean Confucianism

In-line Resources

I had deleted the last comment on this article as I thought I had addressed the issue specified. Since the comment has been re-posted I am concerned that I may not understand what is being asked of me. I don't want to seem dense, but would it be possible to identify specific problems with that "citation needed" tag you folks have so I can narrow my focus to specific infractions. Thanks in advance....--Bruce W Sims (talk) 17:56, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

POV

“To a great degree the harmonic Confucian ideals of familial, local, regional, and national development in a peaceful way gave the Joseon dynasty both its strength, and its long reign of peaceful relations with its neighbours. But such Korean benevolence also made it both naive and vulnerable against bellicose states such as Japan which had no such moral restrictions after the decline of the samurai realpolitik and the limitless expansionism after the Meiji restoration.”

I think this paragraph should be rewritten to have a more neutral POV, have another POV added, or be deleted.—Wikipeditor 21:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I am at a place where I could use in-put from Korean nationals who might have thoughts on what further directions this article might be taken. --Bruce W Sims (talk) 20:27, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Word Correction Needed?

With apologies, as a first-timer, if I make a mess of this. I suspect the author meant "literati" (people well-versed in literature), not "illiterati," in the following sentence:

With the fall of Goryeo, the position of the landed aristocracy crumbled to be replaced by the growing power of the Korean illiterati who advocated strenuously for land reform.

"Illiterati" is not a word in English, but it if it were, it would signify a group of illiterates (people who cannot read). I did not make the correction, on the off chance that there is some historical precedent for that specific designation -- but mostly because I was afraid to attempt it. --Hanes, JM (talk) 21:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Got it.... and thanks for catching that. Best wishes.--Bruce W Sims (talk) 14:21, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Illiterati

I think that illiterati, the ignorant poor, is what is meant here. But I could be wrong. Editor2020 (talk) 23:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
