[edit] Well...

There doesn't seem to be much response to the shi/si problem around here. I've decided to start doing something about it.

In both standard McCune-Reischauer and North Korean M-R, the city is Sinŭiju.
As mentioned on the KCNA site sometimes, the city is spelt Sinuiju.
Google test. Shinuiju vs. Sinuiju.

I think these are quite sufficient reasons to have the article at Sinuiju. The "Shinŭiju" spelling came from the 1984 - 2000 South Korean M-R system. "Shi" is not standard M-R. (Check the links from Wikipedia's own McCune-Reischauer article.)

Please leave your thoughts here. Thanks!

[edit] SAR

Is Sinuiju the same as the SAR, or is the SAR close to Sinuiju and named after it? Online sources give conflicting answers. Does anyone know? -- ran (talk) 21:45, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

Surely they are different things. I can't imagine the whole Sinuiju city's Korean residents enjoying capitalist privileges. -- KittySaturn 17:39, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

I take that back - they are indeed different things, but the SAR seems to encompass about two-thirds of Sinuiju city plus parts of three other counties. I have now updated the Sinuiju Special Administrative Region article. -- KittySaturn 02:39, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
