I Feel Like A Broken Record edit

There seems a myriad of Japanese Mythology articles in which, once you take away the Popular Culture references, the article is nothing more than a couple of sentences, unsourced, that give no more information that whatever copy-right violated image accompanying the article might suggest. Kuda-gitsune is no exception. What happened? Did everyone who rides the short bus get hold of a computer and obsessively list their favorite InuYasha episodes? (uncited, unreferenced, with only the term Popular Culture as justification to it being here?) Wiki deserves better than that. I'd love to see actual academic researchers treat this site as legitimate research and not a joke's punch line for: "what do kids suffering from ADD edit in their spare time?"

Is something missing here? edit

From the article: "Kuda-kitsune or Kanko ("pipe fox") is a creature supposedly employed by Japanese kitsune-tsukai, those who use foxes as spirit familiars. Its use is described in various books, as follows:

"In the Sōzan Chomon Kishū the kuda-gitsune is described as a rat-sized fox which can be kept in a pipe."

Was there supposed to be a list of book titles here? After "follows:" Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors (talk) 20:30, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
