Collapsible lists

[edit]

Hi.

Just wanted to say that it'd be better if the collapsible medical and other support lists would be non-collapsible and expanded by default, as, otherwise, content is simply missed by the viewer at first glance and it would be better for visibility.

Consistency of findings of National Defense Corps incident

[edit]

As a neutral lay-reader:

The "National Defense Corps Incident" page says that "...and tens of millions of won was misappropriated to President Rhee Syngman's political fund." with a valid reference: [국민방위군 사건 (in Korean). National Archives of Korea. Archived from the original on 27 April 2011. Retrieved 20 July 2010.]

Yet on topic this page, under section "Starvation" it says Rhee Sygman was not involved. This is inconsistent or misleading. I suggest the quote above plus reference be added to the end of the relevant paragraph in this section.

[edit]

The Korean conflict was said to have started in 1948, according to the article. Therefore, I would like for the upper text to be changed from 1945 to 1948. 171.244.185.182 (talk) 04:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No it does not. Slatersteven (talk) 10:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting a column about losses

[edit]

Hello dear anonymous people, I have not yet mastered editing and would like to get some advice before making edits. Long ago or not very long ago, the template about losses included the flags and losses of each country. I think it might be worth returning it? In my opinion, such a column, purely aesthetically, will look better for the article. What do you think ? Hikka1999 (talk) 20:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:Korean War/Archive 12#Chinese casualties and the consensus to remove. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:12, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per the above, we do not really have an authoritative number. Slatersteven (talk) 18:35, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Um, so it’s better not to indicate any? And what is the logic if the article indicates the losses of the parties, but for some reason they cannot be indicated in the template? Hikka1999 (talk) 18:41, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because a template cant deal with complexities as it is a Summay (of the lede), of a summary (the lede). Slatersteven (talk) 18:45, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in Belligerents list

[edit]

In the Belligerents list, there's a typo right under "United Nations" that just says "Template:FlagU". Could someone with semi-protected editing privileges fix this so that it correctly lists the United States? Thanks. Rabbitish (talk) 07:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Mztourist (talk) 08:41, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

change old South African Union flag to present Republic of South Africa Flag — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moswari (talkcontribs) 02:43, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, use flag contemporaneous with the event. Cinderella157 (talk) 10:53, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Korean war has extended.

[edit]

We need to consider updating this wiki page- with the current affairs. The Korean war has never ended, with the Involvement of the North Korean troops. The Korean war has just relocated to Ukraine region. - A new country needs to be updated and Soviet Union must have a change considered to Russia.

As nothing has changed. However since the involvement of the Korean troops in support of Russia. This represents a huge problem for America and England - we never signed an armistice treaty with North Korea, We are still at war with North Korea. They may have changed uniforms into Russian but the Korean war has NOT officially ended. Anyone who went to help or volunteer might want to remember Kim Jung un and his people promised to do things to our people if chance presented it self. If Korean infantry or Chinese infantry engaged with people of Foreign nationals, regardless if they are in Ukrainian uniform. It gets more complicated.

As the article states, the Korean War ended with the Korean Armistice Agreement of 1953. This article is limited to the events of that period of conflict. It is not a platform for commentary on the ongoing events in Korea. The article on North Korea–South Korea relations deals with current and ongoing issues and events between the two Korean states.

Are you insane there is no Armistice agreement signed in 1953. There was a ceasefire. The Korean war never ended. Watch this, it says it right at the start [1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tad8OjqYT7E
Re-read the korean war page it never ended. Why do I really have to become a history teacher? hmm basic stuff. 90.198.122.21 (talk) 12:00, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
