To Do List and Questions

[edit]

Verify whether the overall perspective of the article is NPOV and consistent with facts on the ground?

What is the correct order of ranking of services?

Is there a specific military protocol or is it a matter of which service happens to be spearheading?
Is there a journalistic or encyclopedist protocol? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geofferybard (talk • contribs) 04:22, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is it possible to verify the veracity of the US troop numbers? These are inflated by the US military as a matter of protocol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.55.249.215 (talk) 11:10, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Images

[edit]

US Forces Japan are providing new public domain images daily.[1] Somebody may care to upload a representative selection of them to Commons. 203.7.140.3 (talk) 03:31, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New page proposal: Civilian US response to Fukushima emergency

[edit]

If there is not yet a page for NRC, NOAA, etc. we need one. There is apparently resentment of the US entry growing larger on the response page. Rather than waste on time argument, let's roll.Geofferybard (talk) 23:13, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is the response big enough to warrant an article? Couldn't it be contained in the International response article to the nuclear accident, or the Humanitarian response article to the tsunami/quake? 65.93.13.60 (talk) 04:21, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Probably for now, in the International response...the Humanitarian article seems like a nice little exercise in egalitarianism gone wild in that they seem to want equal time for the little tiny nations. Constant deletion and allegation of "American takeover". You know, no good deed goes unpunished.Geofferybard (talk) 03:49, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

[edit]

should this article contain a timeline, like that for the Haiti quake? Operation Unified Response. 65.93.13.60 (talk) 04:24, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Later, split off as separate page; better yet, once it reaches a critical point, create a parrallel TL with its own layout. Note that many timelines are almost impossible to read due to layout issues. Geofferybard (talk) 00:59, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There should be a timeline article for the entire quake/tsunami thing. 65.93.13.60 (talk) 04:21, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I came across an article that has the timeline of events of Operation Tomodachi:Chronology of Operation Tomodachi--Nrpf22pr (talk) 19:39, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

redlinked see also

Resolved

Aerial operations in response to the Fukushima nuclear emergency and United States response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake disaster Tech/humanitarian aid from NRC,NOAA, etc. have been redlinked for a while. Shouldn't we just delete these links from the see also section? The articles still do not exist. 184.144.168.153 (talk) 14:26, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

someone removed them

[edit]

This list of ships involved in post-quake/post-tsunami assistance was updated 28 March 2011 here. There is a search for other articles which verify this list. --Tenmei (talk) 03:27, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tomodachi Avenue

[edit]

SENDAI--To show its gratitude to the U.S. military for its assistance in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Ground Self-Defense Force has changed the name of the main street in its Camp Sendai to “Tomodachi Avenue.”

“Tomodachi” is Japanese for “friend.” A ceremony was held on Dec. 13 to commemorate the name change at the camp in Miyagino Ward here.

This change was done to show appreciation for the U.S. military’s massive Operation Tomodachi effort, launched to rescue and assist victims of the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami.

The Self-Defense Force’s Northeastern Army and troops from U.S. Army Pacific have been conducting a joint exercise from Dec. 1, and 170 soldiers from both militaries attended the ceremony.

Lt. Gen. Francis Wiercinski, commander of U.S. Army Pacific, said seeing the street each time would remind him of the U.S. military's friendship with Japan. The 500-meter-long main street had been previously named "Ichijo Avenue." http://ajw.asahi.com/article/0311disaster/recovery/AJ201212160016 — Preceding unsigned comment added by BernieKropp (talk • contribs) 13:41, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of "criticism and complains" section

[edit]

If one looks at the Japanese version of this page, you will notice a "Criticism" section. Just using google translate, it seems most of the criticisms are based around complaints about the US being push and uncooperative about its bases, but they could also contain criticisms relating to misconduct by the soldiers.

Whatever it contains, criticism and the view of a host country are important to an event, which is why this segment should belong on this page. The only problem is that the articles are of course in Japanese, which I cannot read. If a translator could run through those segments and insert them here, I think it would make this article better.

I started a small Criticism section, based on a very synthetic article by a Pr. of Law at Waseda. Translation of the Section of the Jp p. could go there.--5.249.14.10 (talk) 10:32, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
