Flag in infobox.

The flag of japan consists of a red circle on a white background. Attempting to show this on an infobox which itself has a white background clearly isn't working, since the border, though just about shown, is almost invisible, and leaves the reader wondering what exactly the box is trying to show.. Either the infobox needs fixing (i.e. a background of another colour), or some means of showing the border more clearly is required. 86.133.149.192 (talk) 18:09, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, at least on a PC browser, the background of the infobox is light grey and there is a border around the flag. Seems clear to me, but others may have a different opinion. Canterbury Tail talk 19:14, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I see someone did an update, that's why it seems clear. Canterbury Tail talk 19:15, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is pretty ugly code for an infobox, but it will work - you can change border colour/width (any html color, width in pixels). You might want an even lighter gray for example. Pinging Seryo93 who was also playing with this. Another option is to create a separate image file just for this usage, with the border in the image - that would only take a few minutes and I'm happy to do it if you all want it and someone pings me. (but I probably won't see any pings until I wake up tomorrow) -- Begoon 19:54, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think, per Wikipedia:Colour contrast that any grey border needs to be fairly dark if it is only a single pixel wide. On a high-resolution screen, a single pixel line is very narrow, and not all screens show subtle differences in contrast very well. Probably better to err on the side of making the border too obvious for some than to make it invisible for others. 86.133.149.192 (talk) 21:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
EDIT: just noticed that the border has now been revised. Much better. 86.133.149.192 (talk) 21:02, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Law enforcement editions

I have removed the following copy pasting as unsourced and a bit much.....what can we incorporate into the article....or should save ?--Moxy 🍁 22:24, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Law enforcement in Japan is provided mainly by the Prefectural Police Departments under the oversight of the National Police Agency. There are various other law enforcement officials in Japan.[1] Their main responsibility is to maintain domestic security.[citation needed]

The National Police Agency is administered by the National Public Safety Commission which is a Cabinet Office.[citation needed]Thus ensuring that Japan's police are an apolitical body and free of direct central government executive control.[citation needed] They are checked by an independent judiciary and monitored by a free and active press.[citation needed]

Prefectural Police Departments are established for each Prefectures and have full responsibility for regular police duties for their area of responsibility.[citation needed] These Prefectural Police Departments are primarily municipal police with their own police authority, but their activities are coordinated by National Police Agency and National Public Safety Commission.[2] not a source found in article

Certain areas have a police box which can efficiently and densely guard small block areas.[citation needed] There are also Special Assault Teams. The SAT is national-level counter-terrorism asset cooperating with territorial-level Anti-Firearms Squads and Counter-NBC Terrorism Squads.[3]

In addition to police, there is the Japan Coast Guard of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism which also performs Border guard duties.[citation needed] There are several thousands of Public security officials attached to various agencies.[citation needed]They are responsible for such matters as forest preservation, narcotics control, fishery inspection, and enforcement of regulations on maritime, labor, and mine safety.[citation needed]

According to the Firearm and Sword Possession Control Law the civilian possession of guns, swords and other weaponry are strictly regulated.[citation needed] According to statistics of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, among the 192 member states of the UN, and among the countries reporting statistics of criminal and criminal justice, the incidence rate of violent crimes such as murder, abduction, forced sexual intercourse and robbery is extremely low in Japan.[citation needed] There are various theories such as institutional factors, social factors, and the level of Japanese people's awareness of legal compliance.[citation needed] One of them is strict gun control.[citation needed] However, despite the Firearms policy in the United Kingdom being more strict than in Japan, the ratio of UK guns used in murder cases is more than double that of Japan.[citation needed] Gun control is not the only contributor to security.[citation needed]

Prisons and detention centers are managed by the Ministry of Justice.[citation needed] Prison guards are responsible for managing it.[citation needed]


The first three paragraphs can be shorter, more summarized. You added a lot of "citation needed", but the related pages Law enforcement in Japan and National Police Agency (Japan) don't have so many references either. The Japanese page ja:日本 only has references for UN statistics.
There should be information about law enforcement on the Japan page. Since almost every page about a country has information about Law enforcement and police/crime, this is basic information that should be added to the Japan page. For example on the United States page it's called "Law enforcement and crime". On the United Kingdom page it's "Law and criminal justice".
I was working on the initial version with paragraphs that were a work-in-progress and references of the United Nations statistics and the Special Assault Team. The information is similar to the original on the Japanese page about Japan: ja:日本. The Japanese version doesn't cite any sources except United Nations crime statistics. So it should also be added to this English language page about Japan. Information from the related pages can be changed to make it more suitable. The current removal of these paragraphs is unfair. So please kindly re-add the useful information. - Artanisen (talk) 22:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We would need sources before anything is added back and where this is copy pasted from needs sources aswell.....also would like to point out our FA articles do not have a section of this nature.....it's one of the things we move or summarize iIncorporating into othrts section during the FA review. --Moxy 🍁 22:56, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I was working on adding the UN references and one source for the Special Assault Team. How can you demand 15 times more sources when the referenced pages don't have that? The referenced pages Law enforcement in Japan and National Public Safety Commission (Japan) were approved without so many references, so your requirement is too stringent. The original Japanese page ja:日本 does not have sources other than the UN statistics. Why is was it approved on the Japanese language page without so many references? - Artanisen (talk) 23:17, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We dont care that where you copy pasted this from has no sources not our problem. The problem is we need sourced here WP:Burden and in fact I think the addition is excessive and needs to be greatly consolidated. FA level article may not be the best place to learn the Wiki ways. ... it may be frustrating.--Moxy 🍁 23:14, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your request for 15 times more references is unreasonable given that the referenced pages do not have so many references either. As explained earlier much of that was translated from the Japanese Wiki page. Apparently they don't have such strict reference requirements. For example in the first paragraph you want 4 references, but on the corresponding page there are not 4 references.- Artanisen (talk) 23:19, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok lets start with some basics pls review WP:CIRCULAR... and if you still want to copy paste see WP:TFOLWP. All this has to be done under the umbrella idea of Wikipedia:Verifiability. --Moxy 🍁 23:31, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've improved the paragraphs with only referenced information. Can we add this to the article? See below: (Artanisen (talk) 00:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Law enforcement in Japan is provided mainly by the Prefectural Police Departments under the oversight of the National Police Agency.[4] The Prefectural Police Departments are supervised by the Criminal Affairs Bureau of the National Police Agency.[5]

The National Police Agency is the central coordinating agency of the Prefectural Police Departments.[6] The National Police Agency is administered by the National Public Safety Commission.[6]

The Special Assault Team are national-level counter-terrorism tactical units that cooperate with territorial-level Anti-Firearms Squads and Counter-NBC Terrorism Squads.[3]

Additionally, there is the Japan Coast Guard. It guards territorial waters in accordance with international law and domestic law. They patrol the sea surrounding Japan and use surveillance and control countermeasures against smuggling, marine environmental crime, poaching, piracy, spy ships, unauthorized foreign fishing vessels, illegal immigration etc. [7]

The Firearm and Sword Possession Control Law strictly regulates the civilian ownership of guns, swords and other weaponry. According to this 1958 Japanese law “No person shall possess a firearm or firearms or a sword or swords” and there are a few exceptions.[8][9] According to statistics of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, among the 192 member states of the UN, and among the countries reporting statistics of criminal and criminal justice, the incidence rate of violent crimes such as murder, abduction, forced sexual intercourse and robbery is very low in Japan.[10][11][12][13][14]

Thank you for adding that. It would be good to change the level 2 heading "Military" to "Security" then add a level 3 heading for "Military" below that. (Artanisen (talk) 05:07, 9 July 2019 (UTC))[reply]

State of Japan

In Italian Wikipedia says the official name of Japan is "State of Japan". Is correct? --Davi Gamer 2017 (talk) 23:50, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
