About the "Past Mergers" section in this article:
The first peak of mergers, known as "the great Meiji merger" (明治の大合併), happened in 1889, when the modern municipal system was established. Before the mergers, existing municipalities were the direct successors of spontaneous hamlets called hanseison (藩政村), or villages under the han system. The rump han system is still reflected in the postal system for rural areas as postal units called ōaza (大字). The Meiji mergers slashed total municipalities to 15,859 from 71,314.
The second peak, called "the great Showa merger" (昭和の大合併), took place in mid-1950s. It reduced the number of the municipalities from 9,868 in October 1953 to 3,472 in June 1961.
Municipal mergers in the island prefectures of Hokkaidō and Okinawa, have followed a different track."
That impressed me; and by the way, are there any other references that relate with the municipal amalagations of Japan that included all the districts and municipalities of each era? jlog3000 ( talk) 21:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
(Removing indentation for readability purposes.) Um, yes, all those medieval villages are now part of just 1,781 modern municipalities (as of this post). I'm not sure what you mean by "that reflects with the postal system" or what exactly else you want to know. - Amake ( talk) 15:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
This article looks fine to me. Anyone object to removing the Cleanup and Citations banners? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Filceolaire ( talk • contribs) 14:36, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
The article says,"40% of Japan's GDP consisted of debts from local governments." This does not sound right. Should it be "Local governments' debts equal 40% of Japan's GDP"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.176.189.115 ( talk) 07:51, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
The city of Kumamoto has absorbed the town of Tomiai (formerly part of Shimomashiki District). The JAWP articles are already updated,but all associated English articles need updating due to adjusted population/area stats... Ranma9617 ( talk) 01:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
There are a great many articles about municipal mergers in Japan, all of which say something like the following:
"Here is a list of mergers in Aomori Prefecture, Japan since the Heisei era."
The difficulty for non-Japanese is the phrase "Heisei era" which really should be Heisei period, the current period. The periods are named for each Emperor of Japan. I have changed three of these articles, but the others remain unchanged, and unclear to non-Japanese. I leave it to others to decide what can be done, if anything. Of course, a Bot could fix it. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 20:09, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
