Topic on Talk:Republic of Korea

Wanted to post a brief self-criticism regarding my alteration of the line about ROK being "described as" a puppet state. It was primarily motivated by trying to write in an encyclopedic tone and create room to list a few common characterizations of ROK, rather than with an intention to invalidate the description of ROK as a puppet state. However, my alteration changed the implication and meaning of the original line, which I now see thanks to the comment given with the reversion back to the prior wording. So, I just wanted to clarify the reason I had changed it, acknowledge my change was bad/unnecessary and created an unclear meaning, and also state my agreement with the reversion.
