I removed something...[edit]

Today, I removed a line about North Korea having >800 nuclear weapons (that would mean it would be the 3rd largest arsenal on earth), aimed at the Japanese home islands, and South Korea.

Quote: North Korea is currently aiming 600 Huasong 6 (improved scud) missiles at South Korea and 200 Rodong-1 missiles at Japan. Rodong-1 can strike 90% of the Japanese mainland, including Tokyo.

This has been removed because it is not sourced. 70.126.216.230 (talk) 21:50, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

North Korea's signing of Geneva Protocol/non-use of Chemical Weapons[edit]

"North Korea has not signed the chemical weapon treaties, so the warheads could be filled with chemical, biological, or nuclear material."

This material is not referenced, in fact Wikipedia's own information on the Geneva Protocol indicates that North Korea has ratified the Geneva Protocol which bans the use of chemical weapons (albeit with several "retribution" withdrawal reservations.) Also according to Wikipedia, South Korea has withdrawn "as regards bacteriological and toxin agents." I'm not sure if the North could use these weapons on the South (without violating their commitment) based on the withdrawal, but as of now it seems to me to be "uncertain" at best. As such, I've removed the phrase. 161.32.217.30 (talk) 05:59, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"No dong at all"[edit]

Can I ask on the relevance of the line, "Some theorize the current nuclear standoff is because Kim Jong Ill has Nodong (no dong at all)." 220.255.114.141 17:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, it's a bad joke? Thunderbunny 21:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whodong?[edit]

Can somebody translate R/Nodong? Ho Jon ^{get lei'd} 11:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox?[edit]

The appropriate infobox is {{Infobox Weapon}} -MBK₀₀₄ 20:45, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rodong/Nodong 노동/로동 is indeed the Korean word for "labor", but this is evidently not that word. The hanja for "labor" is 勞動. The rocket's name is written 蘆洞, which would seem to be a placename (something like "reed cave"), probably intended as a pun? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.112.66 (talk) 16:53, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rodong ?[edit]

Why is the spelling "Rodong" used here? As "Nodong" is not a North Korean designation, but a western, there is no point in using the North Korean transliteration, as North Korea simply does not use the Nodong/Rodong designation at all. --GDK (talk) 11:09, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rodong-1 → Hwasong-7
KN-08 → Hwasong-13

– I think these two articles should titled as official DPRK designation, just like other articles about DPRK ballistic missiles, includes but not limited to Hwasong-10 (formerly BM25 Musudan). 隐世高人 (talk) 03:30, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support. This inconsistency has bothered me for a while. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:23, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
