Request for Input on Using "Bang Chan" Throughout the Article

Hi,

I hope you're doing well. I'm currently involved in a discussion on the talk page of Bang Chan, under the topic "Weird comment about name," regarding the consistent use of "Bang Chan" throughout his article, rather than reverting to just "Bang" after the initial mention. While one editor prefers to use "Bang" for subsequent references, others are fine with keeping "Bang Chan" throughout the article, as is common in similar cases. I’ve noticed that there are other articles, such as Gong Yoo, Megan Thee Stallion, and Lee Know, where the two-word name is consistently used throughout without reverting to the surname. Additionally, according to MOS:BIOEXCEPT, we are allowed to use a two-word name if the person is widely known by it, or if they have clearly declared and consistently used this as their preferred style. In this case, an overwhelming majority of reliable sources also follow this format for "Bang Chan."

Since you have experience in similar projects, I believe your input would greatly help in reaching a consensus. If you have the time, can I ping you there, could you kindly share your opinion on this matter? Your perspective would be very valuable to the discussion.

Thank you so much for your time, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Romanizations

Hello, I'm spotting a lot of incorrect romanizations for Korean people names on articles you've created. You can try using this site [1] to generate more correct versions, although this site still makes mistakes. It's currently down but I suspect it'll be back up. seefooddiet (talk) 12:25, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also keep in mind we discourage putting {{linktext}} around hanja for people names due to MOS:KO-LINKTEXT, and we discourage putting Hanja in the first parentheses of the article for South Korean people per MOS:HANJALEAD. seefooddiet (talk) 12:28, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopedic tone

Hello, first off sincerely thank you for your contributions; they're really valuable. Just some feedback, please be more mindful about WP:TONE. Bio articles that you've produced sometimes portray living people as if they're protagonists in a story; they talk about the emotions of various people and obstacles that they are perceived to have overcome. But on encyclopedias we deliver information in a much more dry and detatched fashion, without attempting to appear sympathetic to anyone. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 21:55, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll work on dryer tone next time. Do review my writing from time to time. Preferwiki (talk) 02:24, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
