Which Hague Peace Conference? 1899 or 1907? -- Ortonmc 04:20, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Didn't Gojong conclude his monarchical career as the head of the "Korean Empire" (대한제국)? If so, then it seems like the article's former location, at Gojong of Korea, is preferable. Am I missing something? -- Visviva 16:38, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Ye, shouldn't it be "Gojong I of Korea" or something like that, seeing as he was "Emperor of Korea", not "of Joseon"...that was the family name. That'd be like calling Emperor Akihito of Japan, "Akihito of Yamato". -Alex, 12.220.157.93 02:00, 11 February 2006 (UTC).[reply]
just to clarify, joseon was not the family name, but the name of the country. see Names of Korea for how koreans named their country; they didn't name it after the dynasty family name as the chinese did. see also korean naming convention, linked at the top of this page.

The title of this article needs to be changed.
The title of the Myeongseong article is clearly "Empress Myeongseong," the title she is known by Koreans and the title she used during her reign as Empress of the Han Empire (which was established in 1897 as the official elevation of the status of the Kingdom of Joseon to Han Empire.) Therefore, this should be titled as "Emperor Gwangmuje," the title Gojong used as Emperor of the Han Empire.
He was also never styled as Emperor Gojong. Gojong was his temple name and was used as King Gojong during his reign as King of Joseon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thepowederoom (talk • contribs)
I added the POV tag because the article was plainly badly one sided and needs revising by someone that knows more about the subject. Was somebody trying to pull some trick or something? they said the Empress was raped 9 years after her article says she died?

Why does this page have his title in it? Most royalty pages are [Name] of [Country], EG. Gojong of Korea. What's different here? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 23:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is wide speculation about Gojong was poisoned by Japanese, we should add something about this.--Korsentry 04:23, 17 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoreanSentry (talk • contribs)
For example, this statement appears here:
"During Heungseon Daewongun's reign, faction politics, Seowon and power wielded by the Andong Kim clan completely disappeared."
But on the Seowon page the following appears:
"...finally, in 1871, he ordered all but a handful closed."
So, which is it....all, or some?
There is no reference cited for this quote:
One representative warned forebodingly of Japanese ambitions in Asia: "The United States does not realize what Japan's policy in the Far East is and what it portends for the American people. The Japanese adopted a policy that in the end will give her complete control over commerce and industry in the Far East. Japan is bitter against the United States and against Great Britain. If the United States does not watch Japan closely she will force the Americans and the English out of the Far East."
Meanwhile, this sort of style is unacceptable....
"The empress had attempted to counter Japanese interference in Korea and was considering turning to Russia or China for support. After the assassination of his consort.
[New section] Reach a climax of Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea Meanwhile, Japanese was victory in the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895)..."
Yeah, that style won't fly in polite company....this is wrong in so many ways, but "Japanese was victory"? Now what exactly does that mean?
And wasn't Goro acquitted by the court at Hiroshima? So, why does the following assert positively that:
"In 1895, Empress Myeongseong was assassinated by Japanese agents. The Japanese minister to Korea, Miura Goro orchestrated the plot against her."
Shouldn't that be alleged, or whatever other weasel wording is available?
Finally, there appears to be little substance in this article. Kojong tap-danced between his father, the ever-present yangban conservatism and factionalism, the newly awoken nationalist movement (after 1890, or thereabouts) and yet still managed to propose an essentially constitutional monarchy in place of the recently dethroned regent, a yangban-dominated oligarchy, and the tradition of an absolute monarchy as exercised by the early Yi dynasty monarch.
So, was he a visionary or a lunatic? 76.121.33.65 (talk) 10:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Thomas Aidan Bothwell [reply]
After Gojong was crowned in 1863, he was the King of Joseon for 34 years, and the Emperor of Korea for only 10 years. Is the title appropriate?--Seonoo of Kim (ANSWER IN MY T.A.L.K. P.A.G.E!!!!!!!!!) 06:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WP:LEADORDER says "If required, they should come adjacent to, or near, any text that has the foreign characters in question, such that scrolling is not required to see the box. This is generally after short infoboxes, but before long ones." (emphasis mine) For this article, the Korean text appears in the first paragraph of the lede section, and the {{Infobox royalty}} is too long to show the box on the same screen if it is placed after the infobox. --Kusunose 00:23, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well noted and understood. Thank you for clarrifying my mistake. --DoulosCore (talk) 10:17, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article still missing a lot of info as of time of writing. He's a really important figure in Korean history, and deserves much more attention.
In short term, the lead could use info about his legacy in Korea. I'm not personally familiar with him in detail, otherwise I'd write it. toobigtokale (talk) 09:14, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
