Ōyumi
Dummy edit. Got cut off for some reason. Wikipedia's MOS doesn't prohibit macrons, and "oyumi" looks like お弓, where お is an honorific prefix.current

This was added following a talk page consensus in 2013, then "adjusted" based on unreliable sources a few months later when no one was watching. Someone later seems to have moved the misspelling further up to make it "equal" to the correct spelling, while leaving the unreliable sources attached to unrelated information.

Most biographical articles give their subjects' nationalities, not their ethnicities, in their opening sentences.

Sorry! While it is somewhat gratifying (if a bit concerning) to see professional scholars (...don't ask...) apparently getting their information from Wikipedia articles I wrote, I don't like being reminded of mistakes like this one.

It currently has locations in only two of Japan's 47 prefectures, which are right both next each other; it's much closer to being a "nationwide" chain in the US than Japan, so saying it serves four US states and "Japan" is misleading. I know the content I'm adding needs a source, but I don't have the inclination to find a source for the existing claim about US locations, so tagging it so it doesn't look like my source verifies it.

It's debatable whether Perry and Co. were the sole cause of the end of the sakoku policy (actually it's not debatableーthey weren't the only cause), but the relationship between the Perry expedition and the adoption of western literary forms is even more tenuous.

Missing Sun motif
Not more accurate. Some people don't like translating 神 as "god" when it refers to lesser divinities, but Amaterasu is not a "lesser" divinity.current

→Macbeth: Already outlined elsewhere in the article, but also ... "Bowdler didn't changed 'damned' to 'crimson', because he wanted to remove instances of blasphemy" doesn't make much sense.

Not sure if this was vandalism, but "Harzoo" is what anglocentric "Game of Thrones" fans call everyone from Essos, and is not an intuitive variant spelling of "Ahura Mazda".Tag: Manual revert
