Cleanup & Merging[edit]
This article has a large amount of material that can be moved to other places or otherwise must be radically restructured. The content is valid, but either fusing it into Hideki_Tojo or shifting the content to an article like "Tojo Cabinet" to examine the politics, rise and fall, and impact of the Tojo-headed government. It is about a very important person and time in history, but the content reads like a high-school history paper, and as such lacks the concise and objective style that makes Wikipedia succesful.

Much of it seems to have come from Hideki Tojo. But not all of it, though it is clearly the same author. No hits on Google but I have to wonder if they might both be plagerising a common source. EiE 19:38, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Part is copyvio: maybe the rest. See Wikipedia:Cleanup#November 23, 2005 for the saga of this text. Tearlach 04:32, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- And there's more. The sections "Elated by these early successes ... Bushido stubbornness" and "On 5 November Prime Minister Tojo ... could not be breached" come verbatim from here, and most of the "Downfall of Tojo Cabinet(1944)" section comes from this book.

- A lot of this material could go into Imperial Way Faction as well. - Stlemur 05:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

- Which was where it was originally. However, read the sources I cited above: do you agree it's a copyvio? If so, it should be radically rephrased or binned. Tearlach 13:20, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
POV & Content[edit]
Also there are some POV issues (yes he was a war criminal), with loaded phrases like "Chinese meal" being a good example of a problem with the tone. Donbas 11:44, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
