User talk:Chunbum Park

Welcome!

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at CZ:Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Larry Sanger 15:59, 21 October 2007 (CDT)

No derivitives

Hi Chunbum. Regarding Image:Japanese_arquebus.jpg, the no derivas part of the license means just that: no derivitives, including cropping. Your options are to 1) reupload the non-cropped version; 2) ask the author to remove that part of the license (most will). Stephen Ewen 21:06, 25 December 2007 (CST)

Hey!

I just wanted to drop in and say keep up the good work! :-) Stephen Ewen 15:19, 27 December 2007 (CST)

Your Sailing article edits

G'day. I wrote most of the Sailing article. I noticed you edited this article, including adding a diagram.

I deliberately kept the article simple so almost anyone can understand it. I had difficulty understanding your diagram, and I am a practising engineer. It is therefore likely that most readers will have difficulty understanding it. I suggest your diagram would be more useful to more people if you simplify it.

CZ International

Hi! I’m just letting people who have expressed an interest in CZ International know that there is now a proposal on the table.

Please discuss its feasibility at: CZ:Proposals/Internationalisation sandbox in the Discussion area.

Feel free to help develop the proposal, as well.

We'll also need "drivers".

If you've got no idea what I'm talking about, please refer to: CZ:Proposals/New and CZ:Proposals

Azoles

Thanks for the comment and web link about azoles. That gives me a new area to mine for making drug articles! David E. Volk 09:08, 3 March 2008 (CST)

Thank you. (Chunbum Park 16:17, 3 March 2008 (CST))

reply

I replied here to your concern over copying from the wikipedia. I take the GFDL seriously.

I suspect all the wikipedia's mirrors that say the full contribution history is available on the wikipedia are in breach of a strict interpretation of the GFDL. It would certainly be a problem if the original wikipedia version of the article gets deleted.

For this reason, when I port an article, I always port only up to the last version where I was the sole person to make intellectual contributions.

If you can port an article in under a minute my hat is off to you. George Swan 06:06, 9 April 2008 (CDT)

Goguryeo-Tang Wars

I've been doing a bit of research an came across some events related to Chinese/Korean history which I'm having some dificulty finding more information on. In particular I'm interesting in one battle of the Goguryeo-Tang Wars that took place in 645AD. The location given for the battle is Anshi which is generally assumed to be modern day Anshan in China. Are you able to find any Korean sources for this battle and confirm the location? Derek Harkness 07:57, 5 June 2008 (CDT)

Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, um.....

Hi Chunbum Park,

No, sadly I don't know much more Japanese than my own name (Mouth of the Mountain) and how to count to five...sorry I can't be of more help...--David Yamakuchi 16:55, 22 June 2008 (CDT)

That's fine. Thank you. (Chunbum Park 18:56, 22 June 2008 (CDT))

Dokdo

Congratulations!!! Well done, too. Keep them coming ;-) D. Matt Innis 14:48, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

Thank you. I just logged on, in a long while (so I'd think) (Chunbum Park 11:34, 24 July 2008 (CDT))

South Korea

Hello, you can read my answer there: User talk:Domergue Sumien#South Korea.--Domergue Sumien 15:23, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Homeopathy

Dear Chunbum (I hope I can call you that),

Wikipedia has been taken over by the theorizing, skeptical, critics of Homeopathy who ban anyone who has anything positive to say about Homeopathy.

Homeopathy is essentially a therapeutic method, which stimulates the natural healing processes of the body to heal that person of whatever problems/diseases, including the so called 'incurable' and 'surgical' problems.

I hope you can see my profile for more details.

Regards,

U of Connecticut1

Congratulations Chunbum!!! I suppose that means that I better warm up that editor spot for you!! D. Matt Innis 04:50, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Mr. Innis! I hope to become an editor here (in 8 yrs?). I think my contributions at Citizendium were one of the things that got me in. (Chunbum Park 13:40, 27 January 2009 (UTC))

Well, I am proud of you and I know Richard will be, too. What will be your major? History of some sort? D. Matt Innis 14:57, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

How did you guess? History, but I'm thinking about journalism and perhaps dentistry as well. (Chunbum Park 22:23, 27 January 2009 (UTC))

Because you seem to have a talent and a desire. When you put those two together, you increase your chances of success. I can see journalism as well, but I would have to know whether you floss to decide about the dentist option! D. Matt Innis 01:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

My parents want me to become a dentist so I will have a stable source of income, etc. I don't think it would hurt being a dentist because as long as I have a job I can edit Citizendium without worry. : ) (Chunbum Park 13:47, 28 January 2009 (UTC))

I got into other colleges as well : ). I think it'd be silly for me to declare all the colleges that I've been accepted to, so I'll just keep mum for now. (Chunbum Park 22:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC))

I've decided to go to Pennsylvania State University! (Chunbum Park 21:48, 21 February 2009 (UTC))

Penn State!? Another good choice! Congratulations again :) D. Matt Innis 01:35, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I cook Korean food, but I am not Korean

Before I do more on kimchi, perhaps putting in some of my recipes, please feel free to make suggestions. I wouldn't mind working on Korean cuisine. (looks around carefully) In the U.S., regions will fight virtual wars over their barbecue styles, but Korean is too little known here. Howard C. Berkowitz 19:20, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

That is absolutely fabulous, Mr. Berkowitz! Although I'm a Korean & I eat Kimchi, I don't know much about it!!! I know that garlic, red pepper, green onion, etc. go into it & shrimp Jutgal is another major ingredient (in most Korean kimchi's... although the Chinese food companies have figured out ways to make Kimchi without adding jutgal to reduce production costs & I'm sure the Japanese make "Kimuchi" differently.) Let me work on the article as well! P.S. I also know about "mool kimchi" or "water kimchi" which doesn't contain much red pepper and has a very subtle taste. I heard that Korean food used to not be spicy before red pepper entered the country around the 16th century. (Chunbum Park 21:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC))

I'll be very interested in water kimchi. When I started making it, I found the recipes called for things I would not have suspected. For example, it didn't taste right unless I used crystallized (sugared) ginger rather than fresh ginger. The recipes I had called for fresh oysters, but I wasn't sure I felt safe with that; a dried shrimp (I know the Chinese and Indonesian forms) makes good sense although I didn't use it.

The particular hot pepper is very important, I found, and I can't get it quite right now that I don't have a nearby Korean grocery. Thai ground pepper worked, but there was a particular ground hot pepper, more purple than red, which I bought in Korean stores and did something important to the taste. It wasn't as hot as the Thai or Chinese, although still too hot for many Americans.

One Korean friend would take a weekend and make tens of different varieties. I didn't try to make more than daikon vs. napa cabbage varieties, although I constantly played with the flavoring. Also, I improvised with things from other cultures — fresh ginger worked if I also added Indian raw date sugar (gur, jaggery).

Many Americans are convinced it's too hot to eat, but, while Korean food is spicy, I've never found it nearly as hot as some things from Southeast Asia or the Caribbean. Now, I scrambled two Habeneros into my brunch today, but when I made a noodle dish with one (distinctly hot) Jalapeno, they could barely eat it. I still take joy in the restaurants to which we'd bring friends, and the staff, who knew us, would ask "how spicy should we make it for the American?" It's hard to understand a culture if you don't start with its food. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:33, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
