I am nominating this featured article for review because a week ago I posted concerns on the talk page the only improvement since then was an image formatting edit. Two editors did respond. One said it was not up to 2012 FA standards and the other essentially agreed and was appalled at the condition it was in. The statement I posted was "There are several issues here in regards to maintaining FA standards, for example: some refs are missing parameters, one is Angelfire, and there are 9 citation needed tags." It seems safe to say this article has been in steady decline and is not being actively maintained. I am about to notify Raul654 (who nom'd it for FA), WP:MILHIST/Japan/Photography. No other editor has over 27 edits to the article. It's a shame no one actively maintains such an important article, but we can't have articles in this state stay FA.

Huge sourcing problems.
I'd clean up the refs myself, but this article uses a bizarro referencing style I've never seen on any other article. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 21:31, 2 July 2012 (UTC) reply
