Korea Heritage Service records (heritage.go.kr, khs.go.kr) refused every cloud fetch, so designation numbers come from encyclopedia captions or city pages and stay Not yet verified until a Mac pass reads the official record. McCune-Reischauer forms were added by rule and need a native check. Korean is not one of the site's six languages: names.ko is a name only, no Korean prose. Press sources (뉴스서울, 매일신문, 경북매일) stand in for the blocked Korea Heritage Service notices; replace them when read. The festival's official name in every page read is 문경찻사발축제 (without 전통).
