Broken reference and POV

Huaiwei added some text to the Key events section. It contains a broken reference, <ref name="FirstYear" />. Most likely, it was copied from some other Wikipedia article. Until the reference can be fixed, I've added {{cn}} and commmented out the <ref> tag.

There are also NPOV issues, and I've tagged the section. Text like "The US administration responded by declaring martial law, firing into crowds of demonstrators and killing an unknown number of people" shows an anti-occupation POV. For instance, "unknown" implies a large number, but we don't know that, because no estimates are given. Also, the source given may not be reliable. Superm401 - Talk 04:36, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

More history

The history section (key events) is lacking. Besides the issues mentioned above, the article doesn't really explain how the occupation ended. Some info about this is at Division_of_Korea#Establishment_of_two_Koreas. Superm401 - Talk 07:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Deleting Culture Section

Freedom of the press? First flowering of Korean literature? Where are the sources for this information?

I don't have time to edit this section right now, so I'm deleting it. I'll try to get around to editing it later, but if someone wants to check out an English-language source on censorship and press controls under USAMGIK, these are detailed in Cuming's Origins of the Korean War. Also there are plenty of English-language sources out there that detail colonial-era literature, especially Yi Kwang-su's Mujǒng. Offhand I know Kyeong-hee Choi has done English-language work on Pak Wansǒ's "Mother's Stake 1" that's available in Colonial Modernity in Korea (ed. Shin, Robinson), a text that's relatively easy to find.

Military Governor?

John R. Hodge is not listed as the military governor here, but he is called that on his own page and on William F. Dean's page. If Hodge was not military govenor, what was his official title?--Jack Upland (talk) 01:59, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
