655:. This does not mean that you cannot mention that he advocated for nationalism, etc., but it needs to be rewritten in such a way that it does not tilt the facts towards one's own pet biases. The idea is simply to let the facts speak for themselves and let the reader make up their own mind. Explaining to the reader what and how he advocated for what he did rather than simply labeling him outright is simply better for factual accuracy and depth of presentation. I'm sure a compromise can be reached, but if not I'll be glad to solicit a third-party opinion. — 163: 143: 218: 191: 381: 330: 81: 53: 22: 741: 847:, a Chilean nationalist and nativist ideologue who is, arguably, even less well known than Ōkawa Shūmei (their respective number of page views in the last 30 days would seem to confirm this observation). In Chile and likely with people elsewhere he is best and possibly only known for being a nationalist and ideologue, yet the lead does not label him as such. Instead, it explains 228: 91: 822:
and can't find any policy-based reason they should be omitted here. I might argue that the reason it's avoided in other, better-known articles is to adhere to the policy that states "try to not overload the first sentence by describing everything notable about the subject". That again would not apply

Note 7: This was not from Arabic, as Ōkawa could not read that language. He made his translation from about 10 language editions, including English, Chinese, German, and French. The most popular translation appeared in the late 1950s; it is by T. Izutsu, who was helped by Ōkawa. Ōkawa's version is

I don't have deep knowledge on history, but the Japanese page is very poor for my eys. And I'm afraid that very many articles on history in the Japanese Knowledge are at the same level. I'll try to rewrite Japanese page, first. But it will take some time for my personal reason. --

Quote "The first translation from the Arabic was done by Toshihiko Izutsu in 1945. In 1950, another translation appeared by Shūmei Ōkawa (1886–1957), who had been charged with war-crimes after the World War II on account of his anti-Western
918: 933: 913: 855:. So if the respective leads of Hitler, a famous nationalist and ideologue, and Palacios Navarro, a relatively obscure nationalist and ideologue are treated similarly, why does Ōkawa need to be different? 928: 682:
Shūmei Ōkawa played a key role in the Japanese nationalism and far right-extremism in the 20' and 30', the previous short description in English was even a little too neutral but it was acceptable.

Based on my own reading of the policy, I would not oppose similar phrasing in that article either. But this example is maybe evidence that there is consensus towards not including it.

Unfortunately I am more fluent in French than in English, nevertheless I am specialized in Japanese modern history with a long experience in Japan and Europe.

The article states: "After World War II, the Allies prosecuted Ōkawa as a class-A war criminal, the only civilian among the twenty-seven military officers"

You don't have to explain Japanese politics of the Taishō and early Shōwa to me. I may know at least as much as you on the subject. :)
