Hi, I am wondering if anyone can be of help with the translation of calendar dates. Recently there are edits and re-edits taking place on the Nichiren page. Literature I consulted always state the 16th of February as his date of birth (death 13th of October). I managed to find one source making reference to the Japanese calendar (birth: Jōō 1/2/16, death: Kōan 5/10/13) maybe someone could help to translate these dates in to modern use i.e. Gregorian calendar and also check with Japanese Wikipedia. Are his birth and death remebered in Japan according to the Gregorian calendar?-- Catflap08 ( talk) 10:48, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello. I had a discussion with another user about Empress Shōshi's article. I think the title should be Fujiwara no Shoshi. I also had a discussion with Japanese Wikipedians and they say Empress Shoshi is technically wrong since Shoshi is not her posthumous name to be used with the term Empress, her posthumous name is also unknown and we know only her honorific title which is Jotomon-in and is less used than Fujiwara no Shoshi. For example Tachibana no Kachiko can also be called under her posthumous name Empress Danrin (檀林皇后), but her article's title in Japanese Wikipedia is also her real and full name. I think in this case we should see what is right and more common on Japanese wiki and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles is a much more specific (and thus more applicable) guideline to use here. Is there anyone here to say what should we do? And also as here is WikiProject Japan, it'll be really good if someone try to expand Japanese empresses' articles and make a complete list of them. Currently only two-third of them have articles on English Wikipedia and unfortunately most of them are stubs. Chinese empresses' articles have better situation. Translating the information from Japanese Wikipedia by including their sources can help a lot as it has been done for two of these empresses. Keivan.f Talk 23:03, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
. . . and NCIDs. The title CiNii won't mean much to most people here; but if you're one of the exceptions, do please take a look at Help_talk:Citation Style 1#NCID and consider contributing a bit of your erudition. Thank you. -- Hoary ( talk) 00:40, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
RFC found here, thanks. DragonZero ( Talk · Contribs) 02:16, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello Japanese language speakers. Is 久等紫遠 a name? Hisa-to Shion (according to google translate)? And 夢虚ズバット春眠 translation would be "Yumekyo Zubat Shunmin", is that correct? One last question, the first character from this image, I can't find it, please help! -- Ssatto576 ( talk) 16:58, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Would anyone care to clean-up the article on Kagoshima? At present, it doesn't even have a lead section. It is very queerly arranged. RGloucester — ☎ 03:46, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
