Not everyone agrees with this, and several people have tried to contact him on his talk page, but so far it's been difficult to communicate with him in English. Moreover, it appears that he's posting derogatory and not entirely serious comments about other countries on his talk page. I think what's really needed is for someone to speak to him in Japanese. Would anyone be able to help out?

600:. The template is designed to be able to be used for people with no knowledge of any Chinese script, and then people with a good understanding can clear the articles out of the category. I figure this could be used for Japan-related articles missing kanji, but perhaps it is better to have a separate template which would cover topics written in kana? I think many people doing the tagging would not know which script it should be written in.

One of my co-workers, Asst Curator of Japanese Prints at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, confirms that Hangaku is a fairly famous and probably real person; definitely a character actually depicted in art and stories. According to these prints and stories, she fought in the

it's basically illegal to release any such images of celebrity in Japan (within Japan) as free-use, all of the "promotional images" we have been using for the last while will have to be removed, and will stay that way if the fair use documentation isn't refined to give exemption to
Japanese articles.

I think the problem is that the section edit links are all listed at the bottom (after the infobox), and not beside each section. I tried a couple of things, by moving the pictures around. Now, the edit links are where they should be; but, the article layout may have suffered in the process. YMMV.

I don't see anything wrong with them. They're there, and they appear to function. If they were missing, you might have been trying to edit an earlier version of the article. Edit buttons don't appear for individual sections of an old version; either edit the whole article (which you do when

Yeah. Sorry I couldn't come up with anything more. And, unfortunately, I think that copyright-free images of the prints could be hard to come by, as any such images would be the copyright of either the owner of the print (such as the museum) or the publisher of the book it's scanned from.

The new article looks great. Thanks for your effort (and for giving me something to research at the MFA - their library and other resources are fantastic, but when you have nothing in particular to research, it's hard to really make good use of them.)

I don't see the need. The noticeboard is just useful to post up (and read up) on what's going on with
Japanese articles, it doesn't attempt to shoulder any responsibility like WPJA does, so the participant list is really irrelevant.
