Lemma

[edit]

Any reason for not having this at Hong Sa-ik as per the naming conventions? Is Sa Ik personal preference or common established English spelling? 05:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I just copied from ja:洪思翊 -- I can't find any citations for the guy in English books. Incidentally, the most common form on Google is neither Hong Sa-ik nor Hong Saik nor Hong Sa Ik, but "Hong Shi-yok" (sic) which is not correct in any language ... bwahahahaha ... cab 05:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Heat for the spelling of the name? It's starting already. Cla68 15:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Conversion to Christianity

[edit]

Any source for the claims that he converted to Christianity while in prison, and that he chose to have Psalm 51 read at his execution? There is Chun, Young-gi (2004-03-05). "War criminal, general, but still Korean". Joongang Daily. Retrieved 2006-11-24., but that also gives his date of death as 1946, which disagrees with what I'm seeing in other sources, so I don't know how reliable it is. cab 05:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the date of death was actually September 26 1946 and not April 18 1948 as Kim Young-sik's article has it. Even that source claims he was in prison for only 165 days before his execution. [1] claims that his sentence was announced on April 18th, 1946, which is 160 days before September 26 1946, which might be where Kim's confusion arose from. cab 16:46, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can confirm that the general's sentence was adjudicated in February 1946 but was not confirmed by General Douglas MacArthur until 20 August 1946. I have original copies of Orders No. 31 signed and dated 22 August 1946 which show 19 pages of charges and specifications outlining the general's atrocities.

Korean guards

[edit]

According to this lemma the prison guards were of Korean ethnicity; however, there were no Korean guards in the Philippines. Most of the guards were probably Taiwanese JustusDurus (talk) 15:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
