moving, separating, and merging[edit]

We are dealing with two countries. There is no article for cities of Czechoslovakia, likewise there shouldn't be one for Korea, it is a fiction of sorts. There are two different governments here and therefore two completely different ways of approaching city administration. They should be treated that way here as well. I recommend taking that information related to South Korea and moving it to Cities of South Korea and that of the north to Cities of North Korea.DaronDierkes (talk) 06:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest this page and Do page be merged into korean provinces or something. Rather we should divide the contents into the cities and provinces of South Korea and of North Korea. Seoul Teukbyeol-si was still Teukbyeol-si, when the name Jikhal-si was used.

We need to rework this page a tiny bit. "Special City" translates Teukbyeolsi, but Gwangyeoksi is better translated as "Metropolitan City." I also created a new page--Administrative Divisions of South Korea--that summarizes the different levels of government. --Sewing 14:37, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

...Also, administrative divisions in North Korea seem to change quite a bit over the years. The NK table has to be revised. I added a link to the North Korea page for an up-to-date list, where there is a link to the Chosun Ilbo page I got the information from. --Sewing 15:56, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I have moved Administrative Divisions of South Korea to Administrative divisions of Korea, which will provide info on the modern-day admin. divisions of N and S Korea... Provinces of Korea and Special cities of Korea will provide historical information. --Sewing 17:20, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Revised Dates[edit]

The new dates and data for Seoul, Daegu, Incheon, and Gwangju come from those cities' respective metro government website history pages. --Sewing 03:00, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Is this vandalism? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 14:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Special vs Direct Governed[edit]

It is not clear as an observer what is the significance of referring to a city as a "Special City"(Teukbyeolsi) versus "Directly Governed City" (Chikhalsi), there should be a definition of what these words mean and why the distinction in the Note about Pyongyang is important.

Seoul's full English name[edit]

Pleas read Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Korea#서울특별시 is not Seoul Special City, but Seoul Metropolitan Government in English and discuss this. ― Yes0song 10:11, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
