I have nominated Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. PumpkinSky talk 11:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
This is slightly obscure but I am wondering if there was any coverage on EN or JP wikipedia of the 1909 sugar scandal involving the Dainippon Sugar Refining Co and several members of the Diet. I just came across it in researching an article and it seems to have been a pretty big deal with several politicians arrested. [1] Hack ( talk) 04:43, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
At Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion#Voxu, input has been requested from someone knowledgeable about Japanese history about the redirect Voxu which currently targets Mutsu province. Thryduulf ( talk) 10:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, any further confirmation or comment at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Language#Furigana_in_newspapers_.28Japanese.29 would be very welcome. This is a troublesome and persistent myth (if indeed it is a myth), which I would like to eliminate from Wikipedia if everyone is confident it's incorrect. 86.179.117.144 ( talk) 03:19, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Project members might like to take a look at Template:People of the Sengoku period. Recently, one or more Anon-IP editors have made some fairly major changes to the template, without any explanation or discussion. Not necessarily "bad" changes, but as the template is applied to a large number of articles, the final result would benefit from additional eyes and input. Some things to consider: Should the list of notable samurai be culled? Should some be moved to the "major daimyo" section? Are the various categories (i.e. Daimyo, Emperors, Ninja) acceptable and in the right order? Boneyard90 ( talk) 11:03, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, the "Current time in Japan" field in the {{WikiProject Japan}} box is stale by random amounts ranging from hours to days, depending on which article you look at, and, presumably, the last time something was cached. 86.160.87.142 ( talk) 20:35, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
"Cleanup tasks" on the project page, among other parts of the project page, look badly outdated. Could the Cleanup section drop the list, which will almost always be out of date, and state:
"Cleanup tasks are anything smaller or more specific than projects and anything that individuals can work on. You can work on files listed on the Cleanup listing page as well as articles in Category:Japan articles needing attention. Your help with these is appreciated as the list of things to do is very long."
Also, the section "FAC and FAR requests" looks as if it hasn't been updated in two years. Prburley ( talk) 18:45, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
There is a discussion here that people might like to join in. LittleBen ( talk) 16:23, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
I've added an edit notice at Template:Editnotices/Group/Portal:Japan so we can standardize content on the portal (especially in the anniversary section). This notice appears whenever any page in the portal is edited, including those not yet created. Please let me know if you have any questions. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:48, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Can some-one who understands Japanese please find a reference for the death of Sadamu Komachi and add it to the article.-- Racklever ( talk) 06:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
I feel that Wikipedia benefits if people are encouraged to explore. Thus Wikipedia would surely benefit from mutual (cross) links between Portal:Japan, Japan, and maybe also Outline of Japan, but surely it's best to get a consensus before going ahead and adding hatnote links. LittleBen ( talk) 04:23, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
I am not sure what the scope of the following articles is: Hell of Foxes and Wolves, Hell of Excrement and Hell of the Flaming Rooster. Being in Category:National Treasures of Japan and also their present text suggests that they are articles on parts of the Hell Scroll (Nara National Museum) in which case they should be merged with the scroll article. If they are about some general Buddhist concept, they should be expanded accordingly and the National Treasure category removed. bamse ( talk) 07:04, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
I am wondering if someone here would be interested in adding Japanese perspectives into the article of animal rights. I think current under representation of Japan in the article is unacceptable because vegetarianism, Buddhism, Taoism had long history in Japan. SSZvH7N5n8 ( talk) 08:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Please help expand this article.-- Razionale ( talk) 16:54, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
