Welcome, and don't overlink
[edit]Hello Seenze! Welcome to Wikivoyage.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.
If you are a Wikipedian, then you may notice some differences in policies and the style of our articles. These include:
- NPOV → be fair (not quite the same thing!)
- be bold → plunge forward
- Village pump → travellers' pub
- External links → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.
- sandbox → graffiti wall
- stub tagging → article status
It may also be very useful for you to check out Wikivoyage:Welcome, Wikipedians. If you need help, take a look at Wikivoyage:Help, or else post a message in the Wikivoyage:Travellers' pub, as a reply below or on my talk page. Thanks for contributing!
In the Jangheung article, you've linked South Jeolla and Mokpo repeatedly. Wikivoyage style is to link each destination with an article only once, so please delete the linking from every instance of terms after the first appearance in the article, and thanks!
All the best,

Are you copying and pasting text?
[edit]I'm asking about this edit. It sure looks to me like you copied the descriptions of the Jeongnamjin Jangheung Shell Festival and Jeam-Mountain Azalea Festival from some website(s). That is not allowed per Wikivoyage:Copyleft and probably also violates the copyrights of the sites you got it from, so please rewrite descriptions in your own words, in present tense (or past when relevant) and without flowery poetic language. If you don't, expect the listings or at least the descriptions to be deleted. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:24, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
Don't use "I"
[edit]Please read Wikivoyage:Pronouns. Are you reading this page? If so, please reply. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:56, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek I told the student to check the feedback (today). Hanyangprofessor2 (talk) 06:51, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- After checking the feedback, I revised everything. Seenze (talk) 06:54, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- What about the text on the festivals? I asked you whether you copied that text from somewhere. Did you? Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:06, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- At first, I had written the text by making only slight changes to the original, but now, after taking the feedback into account, I have revised it completely in my own words!! Seenze (talk) 11:43, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Good. Thanks. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:35, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

24-hour clock
[edit]On your assignment page, your professor advises you that "for articles about South Korea and China, please use the 24-hour clock to show times, e.g. 09:00-12:00 and 18:00-00:00." Please correct the mistakes that you made here. I recommend that you read the assignment page again. Thank you. Ground Zero (talk) 04:21, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- After checking the feedback, I revised everything.:) Seenze (talk) 06:55, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Seenze: Why are you making the same mistakes again? Please correct your errors, again. Ground Zero (talk) 12:08, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I modified it~!! Seenze (talk) 06:13, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Seenze: "please use the 24-hour clock to show times, e.g. 09:00-12:00 and 18:00-00:00." You did not do that. "21PM" doesn't mean anything. Please make the corrections to follow Wikivoyage standard format. Ground Zero (talk) 12:49, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

"And more"
[edit]This is a stock advertising phrase that gives no useful information to the reader. Please make sure to never use it on this site and to remove it from listings you've already created or edited (while also making needed grammatical and syntactical edits). Thanks.

- okay. thank you! Seenze (talk) 04:15, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
Hi. There's an immediate problem at the beginning of the article: you never explain whether Jangheung is a city or something else. "Jangheung (장흥) is one of the southern parts of South Jeolla" doesn't tell us what it is. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:41, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- I'll also be posting edit summaries when I make edits to the article, so look out for those. An easy way to see them is to click the "View history" tab at the upper right of the article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:45, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- I don't understand this sentence:
- "Jeongnamjin is a local image brand discovered by Jangheung, based on the origin of the ferry that arrives when Jeongdongjin runs east from Gwanghwamun, Seoul, and is located in line with Junggangjin, the coldest region in the north."
- What does "image brand" mean? What does it mean that a brand is "located"? And since Jangeung is in South and not North Korea, which do you mean by "the coldest region in the north", and how does that explain anything about the brand? Finally, at a higher level, is there a reason why a visitor would want to know about this brand, and if so, what is that reason?
- You can see it will take a long time for me to look through this entire article, so I don't promise to do so. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:48, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- In the "History" subsection, please explain things a foreigner is not likely to know. For example:
- "Jangheung is a place with a long history, once the site of the ancient Mongno-guk (莫盧國) during the Mahan confederacy period."
- What was the Mongno-guk, and when was the Mahan confederacy period?
- "In the Three Kingdoms period, it was part of the Baekje kingdom, with several local districts (hyeon), including Ocha-hyeon (烏次縣), established in what is now Gwan-san-eup. During the Unified Silla period, the names of these districts were changed, and the area was briefly incorporated into the nearby Boseong."
- When was that, and how is this of interest to a visitor? If there are particular attractions that date from these periods, you should mention them and clearly indicate which period they date from in this paragraph.
- I'll let you go through the rest of the section, editing with the thoughts in mind that history sections in a travel guide should explain things that are interesting and relevant to travelers and that inclusive years or centuries should be added to explain to ignorant foreigners when those periods took place. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:52, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- Please eliminate trivia and encyclopedic content from "Get in/By train". Why does a visitor care when a train station was constructed or who opposed construction? Also, remember that this section is about going _to_ Jangheung and not getting somewhere else. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:42, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
- The list of "nearby stations" is pretty useless, as is the list of bus terminals. Create "Go" listings for them and add their addresses and some information on how to get from them to downtown or whatever. I'm also having trouble understanding the last 3 sentences of "Get in":
- "Intercity buses stand in all towns and villages except Busan-myeon."
- What do you mean by "stand"? Stop? Wait a few minutes before moving on? And what do the villages have to do with Jangheung?
- "After passing through Hak-dong and Sotae Station from Gwangju, take National Route 29 and enter National Route 2 from Boseong (there is no stop in Boseong)."
- Who are those directions for? Drivers, I guess? Where are they going? Please edit this to make sense. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:51, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your meticulous feedback, I will revise it to reflect it! Seenze (talk) 06:14, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
- Great! Happy to help, although you can see this covers only the part of the article through the end of "Get in". Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:21, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
