Please follow the guidelines on this page. Korean Romanization should be used as little as possible except in beginners sections only. Try at all costs to avoid Romanization in other sections unless absolutely necessary. If you must Romanize, use the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Romanization_of_Korean Revised Romanization of Korean]] system.

Korean Romanization should be used as little as possible except in beginners sections only. Beginners should be encouraged to learn Hangeul first before moving onto grammar and other sections. Try at all costs to avoid Romanization in other sections unless absolutely necessary. If you must Romanize, use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Romanization_of_Korean Revised Romanization of Korean] system. If you want to talk about special pronunciation cases, in most cases you should use the IPA instead of Korean Romanization since Korean Romanization can cause improper pronunciation.</div>

We would like to hear your opinions on formatting and guidelines of this wiki. Please voice your opinion in the discussion section.

Write.pngGeneral Guidelines
One of the purposes of this wiki is to have all the content easy to understand. The articles should be dumbed down so the reader never has to scratch his head wondering. In most cases prior knowledge on a topic shouldn't be assumed and all content should be more focused on getting the reader to understand, rather than trying to sound like a linguistic expert.

Korean Romanization should be used as little as possible except in beginners sections only. Beginners should be encouraged to learn Hangeul first before moving onto grammar and other sections. Try at all costs to avoid Romanization in other sections unless absolutely necessary. If you must Romanize, use the Revised Romanization of Korean system. If you want to talk about special pronunciation cases, in most cases you should use the IPA instead of Korean Romanization since Korean Romanization can cause improper pronunciation.

  • Please do not encode at a really high biterate unless absolutely necessary.
  • Please use the default parameters provided after clicking on the "mp3" button in the toolbar so the player is blue and red always, such as:
