Talk:Battle of Yeongpyeong (2002)

Naming and Conflict identity

I have ha\\\\ some concerns regarding both the title of this article and the way it is represented as being part of the Korean War, a conflict which, in terms of on-the-ground facts if not on paper, ended over 50 years prior. Please see my comments at Talk:1st Western Sea (battle); thoughts and suggestions are most appreciated. LordAmeth (talk) 11:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Suggestions for improvement

I have just completed the B class checklist for this article and feel that it could be improved by addressing the following:

• References: a list of references, as well as in line citations in the text;
• Coverage: an aftermath section could be included to discuss in more detail the reaction to the engagement; additionally the battle itself could be dealt with in more detail if possible;

Just a few ideas. When this has been done you might like to seek re-assessment. This can be done by placing the article on the list at WP:MHA. Additionally, more detailed suggestions for improvement might be obtained by adding it to the list at WP:MHPR. Hope this helps. Cheers. AustralianRupert (talk) 07:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Discrepancies in casualty amounts

The section 'Aftermath' and info table on the right side of the article report varying amounts of casualties from this incident. 86.58.129.90 (talk) 07:24, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

"Battle" or "Incident" ?

Calling this a 'battle' seems a bit extreme. Battles are usually referred to as major confrontations during an extended conflict or war. This was more of the same - NK provocations along the border for political reasons. I suggest the title be moved to something less, um, imaginative? HammerFilmFan (talk) 22:51, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

PKM-357/PKM 357

The ship is mentioned in the image description and in the last sentence of the article, but nowhere it is ever described. Is this a remnant of a previous version where it made sense? Sure, the reader can deduce that it is the southern Korea's ship that was defeated, but still.--Adûnâi (talk) 03:23, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Article title

No sources have been provided which use the title 2002 Yeongpyeong Incident, unlike the action at Yoseu, this was a pitched naval battle between two squadrons of opposing forces which heavily engaged each other. Furthermore, both Korean and English language sources refer to this as the Battle of Yeongpyeong and in Korean the "Yeonpyeong Haejeon" which translates to "Battle of Yeongpyeong". This name is in such common use that a movie about the action was titled "Yeongpyeong Haejeong" in Korean see here (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4696222/).XavierGreen (talk) 22:35, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

I agree. "Yeongpyeong Haejeong" actually translates to "sea battle of Yeongpyeong". Mztourist (talk) 03:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
