Shoudln't the article have an 'A' Anarchist symbol on the page, to show his Anarchist heritage too? He was certainly different from other late 1800's/early 20th C Anarchists, because he was also a nationalist -- but he is a part of Anarchist history, and is known worldwide for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rutherfordlad (talk • contribs) 16:01, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article is important -- Kim Jwa Jin is a prominent figure in Korean anarchist history but the majority of the article has no sources and no references, so we don't know where any of the assertions originate, and we don't know if the information given is reliable or accurate.

Anyone have time to tidy up sources of the info? He is a key figure in Korean anti colonial history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rutherfordlad (talk • contribs) 02:38, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
