Tōkaidō[edit]

I've linked to Tōkaidō, which is a disambig. I don't yet know whether this should be Tōkaidō (region) or Tōkaidō (road) as I haven't seen the book or its newer edition, and haven't been able to find out enough about it. I hope to remedy this soon. -- Hoary 23:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikification, cleanup, etc[edit]

On this edit of Thereen's:

What kind of thing needs wikification?
What kind of thing needs cleanup?
How does the table of contents help?

Hoary 02:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs more sections, especially a well written Lead Section (see Wikipedia:Lead section for help). Try splitting the article up into sections such as "Life" and "Career" with sub-sections as you all see fit. In it's current state, the article reads more like a timeline than an encyclopediac article.

The article also has a lot of redlinks, which makes me feel like I should know something that I dont (otherwise there would be no need for the article that is being linked). Try either writing the articles in question or elabourating on what is ment by their inclusion. For example "In 1940 Hayashi's photographs appeared in Shashin Shūhō, and the next year also Fujin Kōron, and Asahi Camera. The couple had their first child, a son, Yasuhiko (靖彦)." could be changed to something such as "Hayashi's photographs appeared in the popular photography magazines Shashin Shūhō in 1940, Fujin Kōron and Asahi Camera in 1941."

The table of contents does not help the article in it's current state, but with the addition of sections (as discussed above) it will most certainly help the article if used as a quick reference.

I hope these observations helped, if there are any more comments please feel free to share them here as I will be watching this page for the oncoming weeks --Thereen 06:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yes, fair enough.

Unfortunately the only aspects of Japan that are well represented in en:WP are manga, anime, game software and the like. There aren't many people writing up photography. More precisely, there are (as far as I know) two. So I don't think the redlinks will turn blue all that soon. However, I'll try to put in the minimal explanations. That will come first; then some, um, de-timeline-ification. -- Hoary 06:51, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you ever feel you need help with an article you're working on, don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page. I'd be happy to assist in wikification and cleanup, or anything else really, where ever possible. Especially if it helps the quality of lesser touched upon subjects. Just point me in the right direction :)
