Sure! It was right here.

I don’t see it, whether in your passage or out of it. Maybe because I never said it. Neither did I say the DPRK wasn’t its own country, or that modern history is made up, at most I was saying its customs of isolating go back to earlier manifestations of North and even South Korea. I did give sources. Many sources, ones that weren’t Wikipedia. They said what I said before I did. What do you bring to the table?

They literally quoted you...

The restrictions for leaving and entering have not been imposed on them externally, this attitude of Korea predates even the Roman empire

This is you saying the thing you said you didn't say.

I did give sources. Many sources, ones that weren’t Wikipedia.

"Giving sources" isn't just mentioning them. If that's the case then I can back up the other user by saying they have their data from Reuters, the UN, the CIA, CNN, AP, internal military documents made available by FOIA, BBC, MSNBC, NPR, etc.
"Providing a source" means you give a reference to a specific text which supports the claim you're making - in other words it's it's linking to them, providing them as references. You've only done this for the aforementioned ancient history and three christian dudes.

Listen to Blowback season 3, it would do you some good.
