Questions

Should it be noted that the cuisines covered in this article are from North and South Korea? I worry that readers may be confused or unsure and its a pretty important political (if not culinary) distinction.

It's better now that overview section is merged into the opening paragraphs. Is it enough? Is the title appropriate?

The map of the island has white lines on it. Are those roads? Some sort of boundaries?

Otherwise the article looks good. Lots of lovely photographs. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:36, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article move

Since the article is about variation in Korean cuisine rather than any single topic, it should preferably be moved to regional cuisines of Korea or perhaps regional variation in Korean cuisine.

I would have to disagree, this follows the naming standard for the related articles. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 19:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also disagree with the suggestion for move. When I created the article, I referred to other cuisine articles that have regional cuisine section or independent articles, so I can say that the current name follows the naming convention. Moreover, it IS a single and notable topics found in many reliable sources including Korean encyclopedias and academic books. Moreover, "Korea" is currently "civilization", not a unified state, I think this naming is also consistent with Korean cuisine.--Caspian blue 19:51, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
