Improvement Suggestions

Article is less about the Kono Statement and more about conservative/right wing criticism of the statement in Japan, verging on POV issues. Needs far more on the process of its issuance, its impact in Japan-South Korean relations, and relavance today as the current Japanese government looks like it might　revise it, etc. XinJeisan (talk) 02:13, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrote the article itself, adding well sourced info for the article as well as removing the overly long and detailed criticism section which gave undue weight to a particular point of view. Hopefully other editors can add more context to the article. XinJeisan (talk) 02:40, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Current Event

The current Japanese government has proposed to set up a committee to verify the Kono Statement. Though not many editors are involved at this time, this is a highly controversial move in East Asia. Maybe, though, it wouldn't be considered a current event when the results of the committee's research is announced? Since it is a 20 year old statement that is once again in the news due to the announcements of the current government to verify and revise it, I would think that would mean it is considered a current event. If not, so be it! :) XinJeisan (talk) 12:01, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contents of "See also" section

First, on English Wikipedia, "As a general rule, the 'See also' section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes". (WP:SEEALSO). So I have removed Seiji Yoshida and Asian Women's Fund again.

Of the other links which 219.110.127.40 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) insists on inserting, we have:

VANK, which is a South Korean group which did not exist at the time of the Kono Statement
So Far from the Bamboo Grove, which has nothing to do with the Kono Statement either
Lai Đại Hàn, which is completely unrelated to Japan-South Korea relations and whose only plausible relevance is in the "And you are lynching Negroes" sense

I fail to see the point of including any of these links. Regards, 61.10.165.33 (talk) 10:00, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Asahi Shimbun

I deleted the descriptions regarding the Asahi Shimbun's retraction of articles on Yoshida because I think they are irrelevant to Kono Statement. There is no mention of "Yoshida" in the Review. If anyone disagree, please explain the reasoning.―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 05:18, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
