Hi I’d appreciate some help from a native/fluent reader of Japanese. A number of new articles have been created recently that have appeared in the queue for New Pages Patrol, including Katō Yasutoki, Yamazaki clan, Takagi Masahira and Matsudaira Yorisato (there are many others). All of these articles are sourced to the same half dozen offline sources, for which no page numbers are provided. I’d like some assurance that these sources exist and actually cover the topics described, as I fear they may perhaps just be there for decorative purposes to validate an otherwise unsourced or poorly sourced translation from ja.wiki. Many thanks Mccapra ( talk) 22:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Amagasaki derailment#Requested move 28 April 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Wikiexplorationandhelping ( talk) 22:59, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Sōtetsu Shin-yokohama Line and Hazawa yokohama-kokudai Station both have capitalization that looks extremely odd to the English reader, but (in the case of the station) is reflected in official signage. However, "Yokohama" is a proper name and per MOS:HYPHENCAPS we should use capitals for it in both cases. If you have thoughts on this topic, please comment at Talk:Sōtetsu Shin-yokohama Line.

Could someone reassess Taketoyo Line? I've tried my best to expand it to its potential but aren't sure if something is messed up or not. ABG ( Talk/Report any mistakes here) 09:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Yasuke, which is within the scope of this WikiProject, has an RfC for possible consensus. A discussion is taking place. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. RomeshKubajali ( talk) 23:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
If anyone is in Kyoto and happens to visit the Kōdai-ji temple, a freely licensed photo of the android Mindar would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, gobonobo + c 21:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
The family trees on articles relating to Japanese mythology are big mess.

I tried my darndest to try to make sure that the sources used in Puff-puff (Dragon Quest) are used accurately, but being that I ain't got Japanese knowledge, I can't guarantee that I didn't flub details. Would anyone be so kind as to check to see that I did? - Cukie Gherkin ( talk) 22:04, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
It is not uncommon to see a pronunciation, usually the perceived "correct" foreign (i.e. "English") pronunciation shown in IPA as part of or alongside a brand name. E.g. ɛ̃fini, or Olympus μ [mju:] (as it should be written †). (There was a small section in the IPA article, sourced to a blog written by John Wells, who is an international authority on all things phonetical, but it was removed for some stupid WP:REASON. So not much help available.) But the Olympus article has ended up being called "Olympus mju", which is simply nonsense. I put a comment on the talk page 10 years ago, as a result of which nothing happened. What would be the best way to go about sorting this out?
† The parenthetic bit is there because I don't know how to include something ending in ']' in a link.
