Should be good enough for now. I'm not sure whether all the ships should have 'IJN' designation infront.

List of Japanese steam battleships and List of battleships of Japan are almost exact forks of one another. The former is more complete and the latter has a shorter title, so I suggest merging to here. Essentially the [[Imperial Japanese Navy] only existed from 1860 (perhaps) to 1945, so all its battleships were steam-propelled; and Japan didn't have battleships before or after that period.... one article is therefore totally redundant. Unless anyone objects I'll merge them shortly. The Land ( talk) 21:17, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Where did the names for BB11 and BB12 come from (Suraga and Omi)? I have never seen any names listed for those ships. -- Imperator3733 ( talk) 14:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I've removed the German ships, as including them here gives the average reader the false impression that they were put into service with the Japanese fleet, which is not the case. I also don't know why SMS Weissenburg was included at all, since she was never transferred to the Japanese Navy; the Turks retained her until they broke up her for scrap in the 1950s. So not only was she never under Japanese control, the article had her disposal wrong by a couple of decades. Parsecboy ( talk) 03:02, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
This article is going to rather large - we're over 40kb and only 3 of 19 sections are completed. We might have to split the list between pre-dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts. Parsecboy ( talk) 10:08, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Buenas dias. I'm leaving this notice here to alert attentive editors of edits I have begun and will continue to actively make until Friday, June 29 to get this article to Featured Article status. – Vami _IV✠ 17:14, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
@ White Shadows:: I commend your efforts, and I hesitated in making this post when I checked your userpage (hot damn that top bar), but I want to ask you to approach this more cautiously. I have an establish method for this, and a sandbox I'm hosting my work at (not that you could have known that until this post, though). I had hoped to hog the glory of building this article for myself, but I'd be willing to work with you for this. Por la Enciclopedia. – Vami _IV✠ 01:29, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Following a dispute over citation method, I am discontinuing my work on this list for perpetuity. –

@ White Shadows: Got time to work out a strategy? You have probably caught on to my method of writing for these Lists from the first three entries on this list. I find doing the technical (first) paragraphs easy and the service history (second) paragraphs varying shades of pain in the neck. – Vami _IV✠ 11:52, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Everyone,
I'm creating this section to discuss the citations of the list and the format being applied. I changed all of them over to sfn-style and then forgot that WP:CITE exists. In order to avoid a fait accompli, I'd like to open up discussion to the rest of the community to see if we can come up with a consensus regarding what citation style we will use in the list. I have no problem reverting all of my edits back to the previous citation style if that is what the consensus is, and likewise if that is the conclusion we have then I apologize in advance for any inconvenience my editing may have had on others. If we do choose to keep the style I implemented, the good news is that all of the citation work for the article is complete (for now).
