Hello, I'll review this. I'll add some initial comments shortly. MCE89 (talk) 03:47, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Initial comments now added below. Just ping me when you're done addressing these and I'll take another look and do my source spot checks. MCE89 (talk) 04:46, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

@MCE89 I finished fixing issues you've identified. Thanks for reviewing! Ca ^{talk to me!} 08:30, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Looks good - I made a couple of direct edits to the article and have added my spot checks and one reply below. MCE89 (talk) 10:04, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

I did a couple of further spotchecks and didn't find any issues, so this looks good to me. Will pass this now. MCE89 (talk) 04:20, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

Initial checks

• Images: Y Images are all compatibly licensed and appropriately captioned and placed
• Copyright: Y No issues apparent on Earwig. I'll do further checks for close paraphrasing and translation copyvio as part of my source spotchecks
• Stability and authorship: Y No issues

Prose review

• …is a swamp in Dongjeom-dong - Unless I’m misunderstanding something, doesn’t the article later say that Dongjeom-dong was merged with part of Jangseong-dong to form Gumunso-dong?

• I'm guessing the region is still commonly called Dongjeom-dong, as reliable sources post-merge consistently use that name.

• …the only one of its kind in Korea - What does “its kind” mean here? (i.e. it is the only example of what, specifically?)

•  Done Clarified

• You could consider simplifying as its stratigraphic continuity is well-preserved within the lead to make it more accessible to readers. Perhaps something like "as its layers of rock have been well-preserved"?

•  Done Added parenthesis

• What is "Ordovician Deposits and Topography of Stream Erosion of Gumunso”? Is this a specific part of Gumunso, or does the swamp as a whole have an area of 685,109 square metres?
• the sea became isolated - Not sure I understand what isolated means in this context

•  Done clarified

• became extreme salty -> extremely salty

• :*  Done

• Geological structures like trilobite fossils - I’m not sure trilobite fossils would qualify as a type of geological structure?

• :*  Done

• Suggest linking or introducing Hwangjicheon on first mention in the body
• I found the chronology of the paragraph that starts "Hwangjicheon once made an extremely sharp rightward bend…" a little hard to follow on my first read through. I think it would be helpful to introduce the time period that we are talking about here upfront, and do a bit more signposting throughout this paragraph

•  Done clarified

• I'm not sure I fully understand what sagundari is in relation to Gumunso. Is it part of Gumunso?

•  Done clarified

• I'd recommend changing the section title “Modern”, as it reads a little strangely for a section that discusses history dating back to the 16th century
  •  Done
• On 2000 April 28 - This should probably be in either dmy or mdy format - as far as I know ymd is not a standard date format?
  •  Done

Source review

• Reference 3 is a dead link, so I can’t search "구문소" to access the source per the reference instructions
  • The website seems to be geoblocked for whatever reason. I doubt Internet Archive can archive it well as it involves searching. I can paste the relevant quote from the website here if needed.
• There's a page needed tag that should ideally be resolved, although a quote from the source to verify the article's claim would also be fine for GA purposes
  • Removed entirely as the book source seemed dubious
• Not a GA requirement, but suggest adding a URL for reference 10
  • unfortunately none exists as far as i can tell
    • Ah got it, I had assumed that there would be since there's a note on the reference saying (Free access is provided at the journal's website). You could add this URL, although it doesn't seem to provide free access — if there's no free version accessible I'd suggest at least removing that note from the reference. MCE89 (talk) 10:04, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
      •  Done I added a link to the journal's website. It's not a direct url to the free access version (and none seems to exist), but readers can use the search interface to find the free paper. Ca ^{talk to me!} 10:44, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

• Also definitely not a GA requirement so don't feel obliged to do so, but I would encourage using the trans-title parameter to give English translations for the titles of your sources
  • In progress

During the Ordovician era, the Taebaek region was underseas, with organisms like coral depositing limestone that would form today's Gumunso.

In September 1998, the Taebaek city reduced the number of neighborhoods from 16 to 8, and merged Dongjeom-dong and a part of Jangseong-dong (장성동) together. The resulting dong was named Gumunso-dong.
