Hello, this is SeoHyun Lee  from South Korea. I am working on a project to correct typographical errors about Korea’s history and territory.

And I was quite surprised to find your websites still label Korea's 'Dokdo' as 'Takeshima' which is incorrect. Such an error on such a well-known website such as yours comes as a surprise since we regard you as one of the world's best.

We are looking forward to make those names correct.

Using a proper name for the body of water between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago is not simply a question of changing the name of a geographical feature. It is part of the national effort by the Korean people to erase the legacy of Japanese Imperialism and to redress the unfairness that has resulted from it.

It is an absolute mistake to hear just one side of the story and to blindly follow. If we leave these kinds of things alone, it causes serious problems about naming the sea and the island that disturb the order of international society. For both Korea and Japan. Forever.

For your reference, Dorling & Kindersley, one of biggest textbook publishers,  worldatlas.com, one of prominent online map provider, and one of the biggest mapmakers, National Geographic promised us that they would now use the name 'East Sea.' In addition, these websites are already using the name, 'East Sea' on their website after we pointed out the error.

 And also we have to make united name about Dokdo either by same reason above. We refer that Dokdo is correct name of the island.
