There's an ongoing debate regarding the use of the spelling of the birth name of Midori (violinist), whether it should be "Midori" or "Mi Dori". The discussion is at Talk:Midori (violinist)#Japanese name. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 07:55, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.
A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Japan

See this for what specifically brought this to mind. I feel like artificial transcriptions of made up names of Japanese characters in western media don't merit inclusion in the lead and should probably be discussed inline as made up Japanese transcriprions of unrealistic names where such is applicable and can be sourced.
Thoughts?
It's peripherally related, but I'm 90% certain "Yashida" is just a misspelling of how the name "Yoshida" is frequently pronounced in English (both the "o" and "a" simply being pronounced /ə/, or the "o" being that way and the "a" being very close), so I really feel like the Japanese translators should have just written that name as "吉田" to begin with. If they had, it probably wouldn't have stood out as much as it does, and I would have missed the problem facing Wikipedia, so it's a bit of a "Kobayashi-maru". (笑)

Hallo en.wiki users. I found same object articles on en.wiki.
However, I can't speak English. I will leave the rest up to you.-- Batholith ( talk) 09:41, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
