I presume you wanted to create Jonyungk/Archive 1 in the "User talk" namespace, rather than in the main namespace. I moved it, so in case you're looking for it, there it is. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 20:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jonyungk. Re your message from 3 September (and apologies for the delay), you might have noticed that I made a few minor edits a couple of days ago. I deliberately avoided this article for some time, as I know you were working assiduously on it, and in any case I was on a wiki-break for 4 weeks while I was overseas. I often find it a good thing to remove myself for a while from an article I've been working solidly on, to regain some perspective and let some others have a go. I'm really not up to speed with the status of where it's at. I generally avoid debates about AFCs etc etc as I'd much rather spend my time actually writing. I have close to 3,000 articles on my Watchlist, and I can't afford to devote huge chunks of my time on any one of them. Fwiw, I have no real issues with where it's at, but of course it will continue to develop and I'll keep my eye on it. I don't get too fussed with issues of whether a long article should be split into various smaller ones - they're all easily accessible in any case, and if that's what the consensus wants, so be it. Maybe you have stronger feelings than I do about this particular article, as you have spent an inordinate amount of time on it. The general quality is a lot higher than before you did that work, so credit where it's due. Cheers. -- JackofOz 01:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I just wanted to pass along my appreciation for your superb monitoring and editing of the Tchaikovsky article.THD3 (talk) 21:51, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:031120_Urubicha_Taneyev.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. OsamaK 11:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Tchai 1874.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the ((GFDL-self)) tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as ((non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 121.112.124.72 (talk) 11:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

Hi Jonyungk! Nice to talk to you again! I suggest looking at this page: Help:Merging_and_moving_pages#Proposing_a_merger.
My suggestion: Tag Paul Taffanel with the template "mergeto" and on the Claude-Paul Taffanel, tag it with the template "mergefrom". I actually haven't encountered the problem of merging yet.
I hope this helps. If you have more questions, feel free to post. — Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 23:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
To reduce the frequency, try adding ((inuse)) at the top of the article before undertaking major changes. Happy editing! Chris the speller (talk) 19:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey Jonyungk,
You must forgive me. I really have no idea how to work wikipedia, but I am trying my best to be involved in the texts. As far as citations, I used Greenberg, Robert "Great Masters: Tchaikovsky -- His Life and Music". This is also listed under further reading on the tchaik page.
Thanks! John Miller

Hi Jonyungk. I've learned to keep out of such debates, because what's offensive to one person isn't to another, so there's no set-in-stone rule about this. You'll find similar debates all over Wikipedia, e.g. Dirk Bogarde. From a personal perspective, I have absolutely no difficulty in being described as "gay", "homosexual" or "queer"; others prefer one or other of these terms, but get offended if any other terms are used. I also can't see why the fact that a term is antiquated (if it in fact is antiquated) necessarily makes it offensive. In any case, "homosexual" is far from antiquated, in my experience. Also, the use of "gay" to refer to people who are homosexual in nature but never acknowledged it is contentious, to say the least, even for living people, and more so where the person in question lived well before the term "gay" was invented. "Gay" has connotations that go beyond merely an attraction to the same sex. I suppose one could make the same argument about "homosexual", which was coined only in the late 1880s from memory - there were obviously many people before then who in fact were, for want of a better word, homosexual. References go back to biblical times, and earlier - and there's no reason to believe that homosexuality has not always been a feature of human society. So, nomenclature is a very complex issue, and if it seems I'm sitting on the fence about this, you're right. I just don't think that "one size fits all". Sorry if that's not helpful.
On a different matter, having looked at the edit history over the past 12 months, while many people have contributed to the article, the name that appears far more than any others is yours, Jongyungk. Sometimes you’ve made dozens of edits on a single day. The scope and quality of the article is far more extensive now than before you became involved – so full credit for all the work you’ve done. However, and maybe I could have said this earlier, but my personal preference is to work on an article incrementally, in smallish changes. When one editor seems to be taking the main running, others may feel that all they can do is to comment on that editor’s work by way of correcting spelling mistakes, grammar or whatever, and there’s not much room to make their own individual contributions. I have close to 4,000 articles on my watchlist, and I prefer not to spend a large amount of time on any one article, but to spread my work around. I also serve on the WP:Reference Desk, and that consumes a fair deal of my time here. These factors have certainly contributed to my avoiding Tchaikovsky for much of the time you’ve been around. I had no reason to believe your work was in any detrimental, in fact what I’ve seen of it suggests the opposite, so I left it you. Others may have had the same attitude, which may explain why your calls for comments have fallen on deaf ears. Ask me to comment on a single sentence, or a single paragraph, or to debate the finer nuances of particular words, and I’m generally fine with that (just not in the debate about "gay" vs. "homosexual", unfortunately) – but asking me to comment on months of substantial contributions in one go is just too much. I simply cannot match your dedication in terms of the time you spend on this one article. Not sure where this leaves you, but I hope it’s of some benefit in considering the way forward for Pyotr Ilyich. Cheers. -- JackofOz (talk) 00:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jonyungk; nice to talk to you again. You know, User:Miyokan will not visit the Tchaikovsky page any time recently again, I think. It was just that he seemed to scan through and not carefully read what you wrote. In other words, I would not worry about it; I would actually remove the tags, because the editor did not specify anything on the talk page.
Just an opinion: readers still might see differences in tone of the Tchaikovsky article with a different random article on WP. The Tchaikovsky article is a great informative work on Wikipedia. I am not sure if the level of specificity is required for a Wikipedia article. Also, I am trying to find areas where the tone of the article may not be suitable.
Anyway, the article does look alright to me; Miyokan is not going to start a fight. — Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 23:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Just want to say, great job you're doing on the Rimsky-Korsakov article. I hope you're trying to bring it up to FA status...quick glances show the writing style is nice, and it's well organized. I'd love to see one of my favorite composers on the main page. So consider this a thanks and a thumbs up. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 11:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Whoa, I completely agree with your idea of the Tchaik article. Well, I guess I can try to speak with Miyokan about it, but right now, I guess leave it for just a while longer. — Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 14:38, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you; looks like I've missed some things on my talk page! Oops. I'm looking at the article now and I'm quite impressed: it's a big improvement, indeed it reads very well. Good work! Thanks to largely to you we have a Tchaikovsky article we can be proud of. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 19:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Jonyungk, as you probably know there are many editors who patrol the new pages looking to weed out obvious vandalism. In the patrol guides is the statement "Any page that is not speedy deletable but still has issues should be marked as patrolled after it has been fixed or tagged" (my emphasis). Given that there are various mechanisms (preview and sandboxes) for getting a page in good shape before placing it in the main space, there is an assumption that a new article is close to its final version, and that was my assumption with the Melnikov page (particularly in the absence of a tag to say it was under development.) I don't consider that a tag asking for references was unreasonable. I notice that the article is now looking like a solid stub and cited, so a good addition to Wikipedia.
