Korea had less than 700 active cases at one time, now back to over 1200+. What happened? Koreans could not suppress their Hwabyung？ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240D:1A:8AF:4D00:69CF:B345:4CD8:B737 (talk) 15:27, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

The section COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea#View of foreign media on COVID-19 in Korea currently includes this statement:

"As for the rapid spread of the virus, the reason was the religious group Shincheonji Church."

The vagueness of the phrasing makes this useless at best and problematic at worst, I'm thinking.

My suggestion is to simply remove it, as the circumstances in question are already explained more fully elsewhere in the article. The statement's citation could be moved there, e.g. two paragraphs down:

"Most of the country's infections are linked to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus [...]" 89.183.220.152 (talk) 15:18, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

 Partly done: I'm not charmed by your suggested phrasing but yeah this is needlessly problematic so I will fix it; the source can be reflected better. RandomCanadian (talk | contribs) 15:25, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

The second quote wasn't a suggestion of mine, it's already part of the article. And there are another 24 occurrences of "Shincheonji" in the article, so I continue to feel that removal would've been better than rephrasing in this instance. Regardless, thanks!

The fact is that most of that is in different sections (where arguably it might be reworded to avoid excessive repetitions of "Shincheonji"). That section seems currently to be constructed as essentially "bullet points" from various news sources; it could probably be rewritten to avoid needless repetition; but the BBC statement is relevant and I'm not quite convinced with the idea of removing it entirely.Have you considered getting an account? That way you could solve this yourself. Thanks, RandomCanadian (talk | contribs) 15:54, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Page exceeds post-expand include size limit

This page currently exceeds the post-expand include size limit, which means that the some templates on the page will not display properly. On other COVID-19 pandemic pages, this has been resolved by moving graphs and charts to a separate page and linking to them, instead of including them all in-line on this page. I would suggest a similar approach here. --Ahecht (TALK

Editing this article

Hi

Hope all of you are doing well.

I read this article and corrected some grammatical mistakes. P.S. I'm a beginner, kindly bear with me. [User: Kjm14],[date: 4 Oct 2020] Kjm14 (talk) 18:27, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Infobox collage

The collage currently has way too many images, which are made too small. It's also formatted as a single image, rather than using {{Multiple image}}, which would allow people to click on them individually. I'd suggest switching it to that and trimming it down, moving some photos if they're good to other parts of the page. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:33, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

I agree, this has far more imagines than most articles that I have seen. It seems very distracting and trimming it down would help as I don't think all the photos are necessary. I also agree that making each image clickable is preferred instead of one image with all the photos in a collage. Jurisdicta (talk) 13:49, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
