We recently updated MOS:KO to include MOS:KO-DATE. This asks for MDY date format (e.g. August 15, 1945) and not DMY format (e.g. 15 August 1945) for North Korea–related articles. As this article is pretty major and high-traffic, I wanted to ask for approval before the change is made. I'll give it a week or so before going ahead with it. seefooddiet (talk) 02:41, 15 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Yue: Didn't North Korea just give up its claim to the South in its constitution? It is true that Pyongyang considers South Korea an enemy, but the position is completely different from 1950. If North Korea still saw itself as the sole representative of the entire peninsula, it would never consider the South as a separate country. Mail lllI (talk) 21:34, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, North Korea did not give up its claim over South Korea. As the source given stated, the changes to the constitution have not yet been publicly detailed. There is also a difference between acknowledging the actual situation as it is (i.e. South Korea exists and is the principal enemy), which is what Kim Jong Un has stated previously this year, and giving up North Korea's claims of territorial sovereignty. In due time, North Korea will make their position more clear, and reliable sources will report on it. At the moment, these details have not been made public, so there is no need to rush to change articles using vague information. Yue🌙21:57, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Every mention of "North Korea" should be changed to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or short: DPRK. North Korea is disrespectful because Korea was a united country and it was brutally ripped apart, so "North Korea" and "South Korea" should not be used. Inhabitants of the DPRK and its citizens around the world are disrespected by the term "North Korea". 조선민주주의인민공화국만세 (talk) 17:53, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
