Park Beom-shin, who I came across somehow, had a page that had been “wikify” tagged… With a bit of this and that, it is now this lovely page: As far as I can tell, Park has had nothing translated into English, but if someone was willing to put the page up? I’m willing to make…
Kim In-suk, who I met briefly recently, is now up on the Wikipedia and you can see the whole entry here (and semi-reproduced below). But I’m also including a screenshot, because this entry begins a new era (LOL!) for the Wikipedia Project – and that is the one in which I have pictures to put…
Last week, as I sometimes do, I had the awesome opportunity to be on TBS eFM – which is the primary English speaking radio-station in Seoul and, I should say, all of Korea.^^ The subject was the Seoul International Book Fair and always friendly Ahn Juhghyun and I talked for about 15 minutes about the…
This is one of the authors who spoke at the Daesan Foundation Seoul Literature Forum two weeks ago. He now has a Wiki page, and it looks like this.. Lee Seung-u From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lee Seung-u Born December 0, 1959 (age 52) Occupation Novelist Nationality South Korea Period 1959-present This is a Korean name;…
It is here, and it looks a little bit like this (and it is just amazing how little English information is out there on Jo!): JO Kyung-ran Born December 0, 1969 (age 42) Occupation Novelist Nationality South Korea Period 1969-present This is a Korean name; the family name is “조”. Jo Kyung-ran (born 1969) (Hangul:…
Finally got back to the Wikipedia Project and added Kang Gyeong-ae to the Korean novelists page and created the page to link to. That page looks a little like this: Kang Kyeong-ae From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: Kang Gyeong-ae Born April 20, 1907 (1907-04-20) (age 104) Occupation Novelist Nationality South Korea Period 1907-1944 This…
You can see it here… I just ran over to the Korean Wikipedia page, grabbed it, translated a bit of it and found another source and, voila! This will be a big one because it has so many author names, and now every author on the Dong-in Award page will meet the “Three Link (or…
LOL.. Woke up this morning and my daily trawl of the internet found that someone (pretty clearly Korean) had put up a really, really, basic page about Cho Se-hui’s The Dwarf, a book I am quite fond of. Unfortunately, that page was headed for speedy deletion because it looked like this: About 45 minutes later,…
Over drinks (and I should say more than one or two!) the other night, The Translator went over my crappy translations of Korean literature titles and now rhe Wikipedia has a page for the Yi Sang Literary Prize. This may seem like a small thing, but it’s actually rather epic. Since the Wikipedia relies…
A Wikipediast named Dante8, put up a page on Na Hye-sok, which immediately got slapped with an orphan tag by the vigilant Wikipolice. The page was also a bit unformatted, so the nimble dwarves at KTLIT got busy and created some links in and added some form. We still, however, need any information (sourced) that…
