Talk:Jeju

[edit] EW~! This thing's pathetic. :-)
What's the best name for this article? Should it be disambiguated to prevent confusion over the island and the city (Not that scrolling down wouldn't reveal which article deals with which locality)? -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 09:24, 2 July 2006 (EDT)
- I think the current names are correct. Jeju is mostly known for the island as a whole, which is popular with beachgoers and honeymooners. Jeju City is an adminstrative center and not really a tourist destination. Jpatokal 10:02, 2 July 2006 (EDT)
- True....for now! dun dun DUN! Ojousama 09:00, 1 January 2008 (EST)
- As I was saying, while "Jeju" could stand as both cities, I will create a separate page for Seogwipo, because that's where I live, there's enough to see in this city for a separate article, and so that's what I will write about. Ojousama 09:00, 1 January 2008 (EST)
[edit] Spammy edits
So the edits by User:Worknplay seem to be copied wholesale from [1], presumably legally. Unfortunately they're terrible in tone and context and need some severe editing down... Jpatokal 12:44, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
[edit] Je-Ju Island
I am an american who has been invited to visit Je-Ju Island with my Korean family (by marriage). The beauty and excitement of the visit by my family is estatic. They rave how the island is one of the most popular travel destinations for Korean travelors, especialy honeymooners.
I leave for Korea April 15th 2007 and I will embellish as I explore Je-Ju Island on April 18th 2007. I will be hornord to provide more photo's of the beauty and culture of the island. Also, to help edit your article.
any questions; you may contact me at michelle@abs-of-fla.com Please put the subject as " Je-Ju ", Thank you!

[edit] Style
An editing question: who decides if the article doesn't correspond to the manual of style? I see the {{style}} posting at the top of the page but couldn't find information on the tool itself - who is supposed to use it, when or how? —The preceding comment was added by Paula (talk • contribs)
- Hi Paula, anyone can add the "style" tag if they think it's warranted, and anyone can clean up the article and remove it... usually the style tag is used for articles that are hugely off the mark; when the tag was added last year [2] it was more of a mess than it is now. But it still needs a little cleanup and trimming... for instance the "see" section needs some serious pruning, that festival could be hacked down into a few potent sentences rather than drawn out fluff, and formatted into a regular listing. And then the "Get in" section needs some tlc too, no need for the bullet point lists, they should be replaced with a sentence similar to "Jeju Int'l airport receives regular flights from xx, dd, gg and ee." Those are the biggest things I see, and maybe a nice once-over copyedit to the whole article for readability and prose – cacahuate talk 23:01, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
- Made most of the changes suggested by Cacahuate, with the exceptions of a nice once-over and fixing the format of every entry. So I removed the {{style}} tag. If anyone thinks this removal is premature, add it back in. But even with the removal, it could still use some TLC. Jbradfor 04:29, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Sex Theme Park?
I read on the BBC that there is a sex theme park in Jeju and I was wondering if this is true. Also if it is true how come there is nothing on it in the main article?
- Yep; it's called Love Land, and I'm frankly surprised that an attraction with such international attention doesn't get any mention on the main page. Is there a "family-friendliness" policy for the listings? I mean, it's certianly nothing to take young children to unless you're planning to give them "the talk"; it's quite illustrative.
