If someone can explain to me why an apparently ASL entry, which is incomprehensible to me in any case, is on a page with a title in Hangeul, I will be much obliged. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- It was created that way. If you look closely, you'll notice that the ASL part is just an empty framework. My guess is that the IP who created the entry copied it from somewhere to serve as a template, then forgot to take down the scaffolding after it was built.

- Right, it's fairly common that people will creative 'new entries' with no content other than the preloaded scaffolding the new entry creators provide. I've deleted it as not being usable content. The Korean entry still exists, though, 'cause I presume it's OK. - -sche (discuss) 05:37, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, it's just a transliteration of the English word (deprecated template usage) stocking, but that seems citable. However, perhaps the author/vandal meant w:Star King (TV series). --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- My favorite quickie reality check is to go to the Wikipedia article for a word and click on the interwiki link for the article in the appropriate language. Korean Wikipedia indeed has an entry for stockings under w:ko:스타킹. I might add that transliteration would only be used to describe converting the spelling of a non-Korean word into hangul. This is the spelling of a Korean word borrowed from English- I'm sure it accurately represents the pronunciation of the word as it's used in ordinary Korean speech.

- The original question was about ASL (which has been cleaned up), not Korean. The Korean is correct. --Anatoli (обсудить) 04:17, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
