Renaming article

Hi. I noticed you have renamed Yun Sim-deok's little page. Could you explain why on the articles talk page. I am not objecting it is just I would like to know why as I found Yun Sim-deok in more places and no refs to Yoon Sim-Deok. Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 14:25, 31 July 2009 (UTC))

Reply : Yoon Sim-Deok The source is on the credits of the film version "Saui ch'anmi/In Praise of Death" (or a Psalm of Death, Korean: 사의 찬미). Have a good day. -- Kookyunii (talk) 14:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your speedy response. I am not a Korean speaker but I think we had settled on Yun Sim-deok: following Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean) and given that Yun Sim-deok seemed the most used. I don't know if the film alone is a good enough guide as there is a lot of loose transliteration. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 14:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)) PS I guess this should go on the articles talk page. Hope it is fine to put it there.

Hi, Kookyunii. I notice you renamed this article also. Personally, I don't care which spelling, much less capitalization, we use, as I am well aware that Korean-to-Roman transliteration is very inconsistent. However, we should try to be consistent within our own articles. The group of editors who work on Korean articles has made a decision on how Korean names are to be Romanized at Wikipedia (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean)), and you have changed this article, as well as several names within the article, to a different version without discussion. A credit in a film is not nearly enough to justify a unilateral renaming against consensus. If you disagree with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean), the proper place to discuss it is there.
