[edit]

Article moved from "Namp'o" to "Nampo" to avoid using diacritics in article titles. --Sewing 06:04, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Nampho

[edit]

The "h" version of the name does seem to be official, and is used for example by Naenara. -- Visviva 08:15, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've moved it. — Mets501  (talk 00:33, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

12-lane freeway

[edit]

Maybe this is splitting hairs, but I count 10 lanes in the highway between Nampo and Pyongyang: [1] --Reuben 02:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let's just say 'large freeway' then. Seeing as we can see it and the railway from space (google earth or maps) and follow it from Nampo to Pyongyang I've removed the 'citation needed' tag from that section. However, I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of reference for the claim about the Nampo apples. kev. 12:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks. Would anyone happen to know if the administrative divisions of Nampo changed after it was demoted in 2004? -- Visviva 13:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Duh, I should have checked the timeline before asking. So I guess the claim about the apples should actually go in the Ryonggang article, which hasn't been created just yet. Bargle. -- Visviva 13:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nanpu

[edit]

Now Nanpu redirects here. Is this necessary? In other words, is this a possible variant of the city name? I am considering whether I can make it a redirect to Nanpū (name of train in Japan) or it should be kept as a disambiguation page to Nampho and Nanpū. --Sushiya (talk) 03:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As there has been no objection, I completed the transformation. --Sushiya (talk) 22:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Taean Guyok

[edit]

On the Jan. 21, 2012 newscast from the Korean Central Television, a caption on a footage from Taean read Taean Guyok, rather than Taean Gun. I am not sure if all counties under the Nampho Special City are now Districts, or just the ones that was Districts in the past (Chollima and Taean).

Also the same footage shows a truck with a license number that starts with "Nampho" rather than "Phyongnam", suggesting the city's status as provincial-level. Since Nampho is the only Special City it is not clear if Nampho is completely separate from Phyongnam or still maintains some organizational connection.

Name of highway/motorway

[edit]

The road between Nampho and Pyongyang is called the "Youth Hero Motorway" in the text, but the "Hero Youth Highway" in the photo caption. "Motorway" is simply the British English equivalent of American English "highway", and the words "youth" and "hero" are in the opposite order in the caption. It doesn't matter which translation is used, but it should clearly be the same in both cases!46.189.28.192 (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
