I removed the sentence " But there is new evidence that North Korean and Chinese POWs had been subjected to screenings where they were forced to declare that they were unwilling to return to their communist countries. " If someone can find a reference for this claim, it should be included in the pedia somewhere, although probably not in this article. -- Visviva 13:27, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag <- something regarding what is mentioned there as Panmunjeom as the home of the largest flagpole should be mentioned.
The flagpole is not inside the Joint Security Area (JSA), commonly referred to as Panmunjom. It is indee located at Propaganda Village Kijong-dong, on the North Korean side of the DMZ. wbfergus 16:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)wbfergus
"It should not be confused with the Joint Security Area (JSA) nearby" Does "it" refer to Panmunjeom or the building. I'm confused. Also one of the pictures refers to "Panmunjeom, Joint Security Area" which emplies to me that Panmunjeom is in the Joint Security Area. --Gbleem 12:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Since there is so much confusion about Panmunjom vs. the Joint Security Area, how about this only refers to the now defunct village, while most of the content on this page gets moved into the Joint Security Area page? --wbfergus 18:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
And then the article is full of pictures of the JSA, way to confuse people! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.31.15 (talk) 14:06, 24 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
This article has recently been moved (incorrectly out of the main space and into the Wikipedia-level space) and renamed Panmunjeom without any discussion, citing "Revised romanization is the correct spelling". I've moved this back to the previous title of Panmunjom, as this is the transliteration used by authoritative sources such as the UN (http://repository.un.org/bitstream/handle/11176/60658/S_18920-EN.pdf), the Swiss Armed Forces NNSC page (http://www.vtg.admin.ch/internet/vtg/en/home/themen/einsaetze/peace/korea.html) and the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22831349). If any editors feel that Panmunjeom is more appropriate, please provide citations. CLW (talk) 14:15, 26 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
What do people currently think about the idea of merging this article into the Joint Security Area article? I know the idea has been floated a few times in the past, but there didn't seem to be interest.
I suspect, most of the time, when readers look up Panmunjom, they are actually thinking of the Joint Security Area, but are not familiar with that name. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 01:11, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
