A gou is the term used for a Japanese cup of 180 ml, which is definitely less than a cubic meter. Perhaps a disambiguation page is called for along with a "gou (Japanese cup)" article. Albanaco 20:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
I would like to provide the following Google statistics:
Based on these results, I think it would be somewhat disingenuous to claim that macronless spellings are less frequently used. Vectro 15:41, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
From WP:SPS:
Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources.
Lets review the citations: "Sake World Sake e-Newsletter"
Per WP:SPS, these are "largely not acceptable as sources." Especially as resources arguing for particular spellings.
WP:PRECISION suggests looking in "authoritative dictionaries" to resolve spelling conflicts. I looked in the following supposedly authoritative dictionaries:
Neither "go" or "gou", used in this sense, were listed. (However, they all listed "go" for Go (board game), which is to be expected.)
So the words are not English. Next, per WP:NC, use WP:MOS-JA for Japanese, which is quite clear on the issue. It was even specifically brought up for discussion there almost a year ago. Redirects exist for these so-called "alternative spellings"; they do not belong in the article.
WP:PROVEIT states: "Do not leave unsourced information in articles for too long". This issue has been going on for almost a year now. Without even a single authoritative, verifiable dictionary, this mis-information needs to be removed. Bendono 13:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
