Debate over the translation of 章
Hello there, you are invited to join the debate over the translation of the term 章. Everyone is welcome. Please make your own conclusions. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 02:36, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
How should I do the bibliography? I can't find anything in english on this and I REALLY REALLY do not want to romanize that many titles. DarmaniLink (talk) 17:47, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Wanna add some stuff on this guy

Tottori Jōhoku High School
Hi! I'm currently writing a stub on the Tottori Jōhoku High School and wondered if the Education task force had a viable website for student tournaments in Japan ? Mainly for the baseball part, but also sumo. OtharLuin (talk) 12:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
I've added a source to this article just to get it sourced but as it stands it's a notability fail. The JP-language article lists a large number of sources but none of the ones I am able to review seems to sustain notability. However, this looks like it was a big-selling album so I'm thinking there must be sources out there for it in Japanese? Anyone know where they might be found? FOARP (talk) 10:29, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- This is definitely a notable album - it was very successful commercially. The big barrier here that it got released back in 1989, so almost all sources are locked up in old magazines and books. Some of the print sources on the Japanese wiki would be good places to start (some are published works by the band, but I believe some are independent). --Prosperosity (talk) 19:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Harmonizing 大教 Taikyo article titles
We have a few articles with titles containing Great Doctrine (大教, Taikyo) and they have different interpretations in all of them
- Proclamation of the Great Doctrine (大教宣布, Taikyou Senpu no mikotonori)
- Great Teaching Institute (大教院, Taikyoin)
- Shintō Taikyō (神道大教)
I feel like we can do better with the titles to make all of them consistent, but I'm not sure how.
Currently they are all under their most commonly used names and what Kokugakuin University translates them as on their website. But I think we can do better by putting them all in something consistent such as "Great Doctrine Institute" or "Great Doctrine Shinto".
Thoughts on this? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 07:23, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- We use the most common name as used in English-language reliable sources. We shouldn't be trying to change the names unless those reliable sources show it's the most common name. See WP:MOSTCOMMON. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:08, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
Does MOS:VAR apply to naming orders?
Does the principle of MOS:VAR apply to use of naming order? For example, if an article which mentions Japanese individuals was created using surname/given name order, is it OK for an editor to change that according to their interpretation of WP:JTITLE, even if by doing so they may appear to be "edit-warring over style, or enforcing optional style in a bot-like fashion without prior consensus" which "is never acceptable"? If that is OK, is there a reason why the flexibility permitted to varieties of English or dating systems can't be extended to naming orders? Thank you for your input. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- Unless there is a strong reason why a particular order should be used, it's not acceptable to try to force one way onto an article, especially if it leads to edit warring. If names in a list were listed alphabetically by surname, they shouldn't be arbitrarily changed to a different order. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:11, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Giant Baba and Rikidozan
I'm very sorry to ask you this, but can you translate from Japanese to English the six pages on this site about Giant Baba's childhood. They're about his early life and I've search much to find them. You can write all in my talk page. Moreover, there are also more information about Rikidozan's family and early life that nobody had translate yet: 1, 2, 3. Thank you very much.
