Questionable main source

http://www.rhizzone.net/forum/topic/13470/

The neutrality of the main source seems questionable at best, as is evident in this forum post with no lack of citations.

Not sure why the talk page was archived, obscuring this post linked by another user, when much older, longer ones remain unarchived. AntColony.555 (talk) 06:14, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, everything's archived.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:45, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Original Research

I had to dig thorugh archive.org to find "The Repressive System And The Political Control In North Korea" and here's the link (https://web.archive.org/web/20070603185648/http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/champion/65/control_lankov.htm).

If the original author isn't referring to "Songbun", it shouldn't be used in this article.Stix1776 (talk) 04:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

I concur. JArthur1984 (talk) 12:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Misspelling in the diagram.

The diagram should say perceived instead on percieved. 84.231.207.116 (talk) 21:57, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

The Pyramid structure doesn't make sense

Based on the categories it would be natural to assume its more an inverted pyramid with a slight re-vert at the top as you get to the top officials and Kims own family. Tenant farmers and soldiers are a huge part of Korean society and the middle part is certainly much larger than the bottom part in terms of numbers (independent farmers, small landholders, artisans, labourerers etc vs large landholders, anti-party activists, spies and what not) ~2025-33178-24 (talk) 13:18, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

I agree.--Jack Upland (talk) 02:19, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
