1) "new Chinese spelling"
首尔 was a new *name*, not just a new spelling of the old name.

2) 特別市
Metropolitan City --> Special Metropolitan City
Wp ~ "officially the Seoul Special Metropolitan City"

3) We don't need 首爾市 since we have 首爾 and 市.

4) "adopted new Chinese spelling 首爾|首尔[Shou3 er3] in 2005" doesn't scan well. It reads like a noun phrase until you get to the end and realise it's actually a sentence.
