there's no "King" of Japan...
Can you folks have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Revere_the_King,_Expel_the_Barbarians#Requested_move and weigh in? This guy is t-rexing through the article, it needs Japan experts, thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 19:06, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
- "King of Japan" is a title used by the shogun outside of Japan (the title is not used inside Japan), during the Ashikaga shogunate. -- 65.92.182.123 (talk) 02:34, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- That's an odd explanation. I'm pretty sure no shogun ever left Japan. Boneyard90 (talk) 02:50, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- I think they might mean that's how they were referred to outside of Japan. For example a bloke from France having a chin-wag with a lass from Yorkshire talking about him (if such an occaision happened). Watashinotabi (talk) 06:32, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Reliable sources
The use of Nihon Ōdai Ichiran is proposed as a discussion topic at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Titsingh's Annals of the Emperors of Japan. There are also implied questions about whether Gukanshō and Jinnō Shōtōki are reliable sources for articles such as the List of emperors of Japan. --Enkyo2 (talk) 20:56, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- Correction: the use of a 19th-century French translation of a 17th-century history book as a representation of current historical consensus is being challenged there. I have no problem whatsoever with this or other old sources being cited as sources on themselves, and I think they should be mentioned in articles where they are relevant. Specifically, I think the sentence "The Gukanshō lists Empress Jingū as a tennō in her own right, although the Nihon Shoki and others only list her as an imperial consort.[ref=Brown, Gukanshō]" is good; on the other hand, "Before the Meiji Period Empress Jingū was generally listed as a separate tennō in her own right, but since 1868 she has been relegated to the status of an imperial consort.[ref=Brown, Gukanshō]" is a bad sentence.

RIAJ certifications
Do we have an archive for the list of albums released before 1989 or so and certified by RIAJ? I can't seem to find one unfortunately. I was looking for Seiko Matsuda's certifications btw. 五代 (talk) 07:08, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
2020 Summer Olympics
I was wondering whether it would be appropriate to give Talk:2020 Summer Olympics a top importance rating for WPJ - I can understand, however, that it may be too early to give this rating since its impact has not taken full effect. Thank you, JTST4RS (talk) 21:04, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
- I see that it has been awarded a low rating, sorry for getting it wrong... JTST4RS (talk) 09:21, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
- There's no way it's a low importance article and the editor who designated it as such doesn't seem to be a member of WPJ. Cckerberos (talk) 19:02, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reply, I was surprised by the "low" rating too, though I don't have the confidence to challenge/change the rating myself being a relatively new editor. I also originally assigned it to the sport task force though this seems to have been removed. Would it be acceptable to reinstate this, or is there a rule prohibiting assigning an article to two task forces? JTST4RS (talk) 21:39, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
- I've noticed that some users just copy over the importance of one project to fill in all the project banners. I'm not saying this is necessarily the case here, but, it does happen. I do see why someone might think it would be "low", since it is still 6 years away, and was just announced. -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 08:22, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

- Now that I've examined it a bit closer, I notice that when they rated it low, they also removed the sport task force, which is a very unusual thing to do. -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 08:27, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the responses and the clarification regarding the task forces - the article has been reviewed again (not by me) and upgraded to "high" with the sport task force reinstated. After reading this thread, in hindsight the "high" rating is probably more appropriate for the time being - it would seem more appropriate to consider an upgrade closer to the time.

This article in Afc hasn't been edited since last March. Is it worth improving? —Anne Delong (talk) 23:18, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- It is one of the seventeen Japanese National Government Parks and there is a Japanese article ja:国営ひたち海浜公園. So it should be promoted to an article from the Articles for creation page with a tag {{Expand Japanese}}. The tile should be Hitachi Seaside National Government Park following precedent.―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 00:02, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks! —Anne Delong (talk) 01:26, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
