This was just created as a translation from an article on Chinese Wikipedia. I can't find any reference to a "Theory of the Undetermined Status of Ryukyu" in any sources. Would be interested in any views on it from the Japan project? thanksAszx5000 (talk)17:36, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just created an article on soprano Maki Mori. I did what I could with English language materials. I know she has worked frequently in Japan, and the article could benefit from Japanese language materials. If anyone is willing to help expand with Japanese sources I would appreciate it.

Hey hey, does anyone know why / how about 200 articles (as far as I can tell by the WikiProject Japan stats page) belonging to the Project have been reclassified from Class B to Class C? It’s the most annoying step up to make, so it would kind of suck of someone just came through and dropped them all for no reason…Absurdum4242 (talk)17:44, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aomori Prefecture just made GA. We'd (Mccunicano and I) like to get it to FA. Any input appreciated before we list at FAC. I think this is the first Japanese prefecture article to get to GA. FYIDr. Blofeld.MisawaSakura (talk)00:29, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello all. I have finally finished checking/retranslating the History of Shinto article. I would now greatly appreciate any help polishing it. Please do edit for consistency, readibility, and, well, anything else you think it needs.
If you find something that doesn't make sense or you think has been mistranslated and would like me to take another look, please feel free to ping me/post on my talk page.Erynamrod (talk)18:35, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This article was written perhaps using machine translation based on the Japanese Wikipedia article. I've linked it from theSendai page and made some formatting/slight grammatical fixes, but any help cross-checking/formatting it or perhaps integrating it more into Wikipedia if possible would be appreciated. It is undoubtedly a notable topic (that I personally found fascinating), but the creator of the English Wikipedia article about Sendai Shirō shockingly went on todraw a loaded gun atWikiConference North America in protest of Wikipedia's policies against blocking self-identified pedophiles.Graham87 (talk)08:32, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
