Reverting the title back to the "National Assembly of South Korea"

[edit]

Why not Gukhoe? Because the "National Assembly" is the official English name of the legislature (see official website: http://korea.na.go.kr ), and Gukhoe, the direct transliteration from Korean language does not convey any meaning to English speakers. --Nudimmud (talk) 01:51, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring the title to the "National Assembly of South Korea"

[edit]

The current title "National Assembly (South Korea)" is awkward - it means that the name of the article can never be linked without being piped. Restoring "National Assembly of South Korea" addresses this problem. The article was moved last September without discussion, but with the explanation "proper term per constitution". I really doubt that the South Korean constitution refers to the assembly as "National Assembly (South Korea)", especially since South Korea calls itself "Republic of Korea". Finally, WP:TITLE says: "the ideal article title resembles titles for similar articles, precisely identifies the subject, and is short, natural, and recognizable." "National Assembly of South Korea" covers all of these principles. Ground Zero | t 15:41, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The file c:File:Emblem of Korean Courts.svg used in this article has been nominated for deletion on Commons

Reason: I think time has come to finish the long-forgotten (or ignored) question: Is [Template:M used with invalid code 'tl'. See documentation.]KOGL free? I doubt its freeness, based on the fact that we do not have definite answer for Template talk:KOGL#Free?. To save your click... [Template:M used with invalid code 'talkquote'. See documentation.]In case the terms change we (on Wikimedia projects) can still reuse it under the licensing conditions at the time of upload here. But in that case we must stop distributing the file to others because we are not a licensor (only a reuser) and our scope of redistributing entirely relies on the licensing of the source. If the source licensing is not a public license (but a private license contract concluded when the licensee downloads the file from the official source) then it is not free. Its revocable and fails c:Commons:Project scope#Required licensing terms. We, as of 2018, do not have a final answer for this. And this means, we have to delete these images, including some VIs and FPs.

Requested move 16 October 2019

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. Paradoxially, a mass RM of National Assembly (country)" to National Assembly of Country" may be the best way forward. (closed by non-admin page mover) Sceptre (talk) 23:29, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation needed

[edit]

Why when the Democratic Party of Korea has a majority of the seats in the National Assembly is it not in government but the People Power Party who have a minority are running a minority government according to what is stated in the infobox? According to 2020 South Korean legislative election the Democratic Party of Korea won the last legislative election in a landslide victory and still retain a majority of seats. So why aren't they running the government? Is it because Yoon Suk-yeol won the 2022 South Korean presidential election as part of the People Power Party and so the party who run the presidency then is then given the right to govern in the legislature? Or is there another explanation like the Democratic Party of Korea gave up its role in government or that what is stated in the infobox is a mistake? It would be very helpful if this could be explained, especially in this article itself. Helper201 (talk) 15:56, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bump, this would be very helpful and remains relevant. I have also been unable to find an explanation across other politics of South Korea wiki pages Jacsam2 (talk) 10:59, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In Korea, the party who holds the presidency is considered "in government" and all other parties are then considered "in opposition". This is from the words "여당" and "야당". The number of seats is irrelevant. This does not affect the number designation a party is given for elections. -boldblazer 23:14, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
boldblazer please add this explanation to the page while also including a reliable source as a citation that supports your claim. Helper201 (talk) 23:42, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you really need to explain that a president controls the government in a presidential republic on a page about the legislature? boldblazer 23:56, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think a brief, sourced explanation would be beneficial to readers, so yes. Helper201 (talk) 20:05, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, since generally even in a Presidential Republic the party of the President does not determine the composition of the government; SK should, like the United States, be considered to have a Divided Government, with the Democratic Party being the government in terms of the legislature, but with a President from the PPP.
