Hatnote for the other Akira Toriyama

The hatnote originally read: "For the ophthalmologist and photographer, see....". This directed to a single article, Akira Toriyama (ophthalmologist). This was highly unusual; but as creator of the hatnote (and of the article on the namesake), I explained it above, in "You think the hatnote is screwy?". Briefly, a single person is known as an ophthalmologist and founder of a hospital, and as an amateur photographer. People who know him as the former may well not know him as the latter, and vice versa.

On 15 January 2015, RoaringFlamer41 (indefinitely blocked soon thereafter) made the odd change of "ophthalmologist and photographer" to "visual practicioner [sic]", with the edit summary "shortened by generalizing". But (i) the ophthalmology and photography were, to the best of my knowledge, entirely separate; and (ii) "visual practitioner" is obscure and doesn't obviously mean either.

Two days later, Hijiri88 made a well-intentioned edit: "visual practicioner [sic]" to "ophthalmologist".

I am about to restore "and photographer". The result is unusual, but I announced and explained it almost seven years ago, and during this time nobody has argued against it. -- Hoary (talk) 01:44, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Hoary: No problems here. If I recall correctly, I just changed the wonky "visual practicioner" to the correct word without putting much thought into it (I don't think I read the other article very closely).

Sad to think this may be my last "Japanese culture" edit on Wikipedia because some ANI junkies who know nothing about Japanese culture can't tell the difference between Akira Toriyama and Daisaku Ikeda... :-(

Hello

Hello. Could someone please add a photo to Akira Toriyama's article? I'm unable to do it myself.

Request

I request for a better profile picture to be added to this Wikipedia article. I recommend this one: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/smashbros/images/3/3f/Akira_toriyama_1475.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190730210754&path-prefix=fr — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.235.147.210 (talk) 13:50, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the profile picture into "that" picture

Hi everyone. I suggest to change the profile picture into another one which suits a lot better because it's an astonishing profile picture itself. I mean this one: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/04/Akira_Toriyama.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20181225062806&path-prefix=es Could someone please do this? Thanks!
