X-post: Japanese wiki Kantō Massacre changes
editPosted this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Korea, reposting here.
The Japanese Wikipedia version of the Kantō Massacre article (ja:関東大震災朝鮮人虐殺事件) is going under an upheaval right now. I wrote a summary on it here: Talk:Kantō Massacre (take my summary with grain of salt; I'm not a strong reader/speaker so I use a dictionary to read the Japanese). May be worth keeping an eye on. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 17:26, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Discussion is continuing, same user is deleting photos and promoting fringe theories without providing sources to support their claims. If you speak Japanese and are interested in history, please take a look at the discussion. seefooddiet (talk) 18:51, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

List of high schools in Japan and listed pages cleanup
editList of high schools in Japan is cluttered, not to mention a lot of pages listed are old and extremely short. I'll be checking through the list and prodding unsalvagable ones (No notability, no reference) while saving and expanding ones that may be savable. I'll work on this when the current PROD on Taku High School is not challenged, to check if anyone objects. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 13:39, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Concerning ones (Just an example there's actual dozens)
- ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 13:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Since the Taku High School one is not contested after 7 days, I'll start to mass PROD articles that meets this as phase 1:
-Completely unreferenced or only has primary sources, with google check in both English and Japanese failing. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 12:17, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Eyes requested at Ainu people
editA new editor has been repeatedly replacing mentions of "Hokkaidō and Northeast Honshu" or "Hokkaidō and the Tōhoku region of Honshu" with "Hokkaidō and Tōhoku region", which clearly doesn't scan in English ([1], [2], [3], [4], etc.). I have tried a variety of versions that do scan in English, but the reversions have continued. I've welcomed the editor and given the necessary information on using accurate summaries and not violating the 3RR, but I also don't want to violate it myself. If you have any thoughts, please try to help resolve this simple question at Ainu people. Dekimasuよ! 20:57, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Rewrite of JGR Class 150 from ja:国鉄150形蒸気機関車 on Japanese Wikipedia
edit(I understand this is better suited to Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains in Japan, where I have also posted this, but that project has recently been marked as Inactive, and I'm not sure that I will find anyone to help there.)
I have just finished rewriting JGR Class 150 almost completely, basing the rewrite on a translation of the Japanese version ja:国鉄150形蒸気機関車, including its list of sources cited. However, I have made many further edits for style and content, including rearranging some portions of text, and I also omitted a few parts of the Japanese version (mostly concerning appearances in modern media) as probably not wanted on the English Wikipedia.
I am still pretty sure about the basic correctness of the results, but I really want people to look this over, particularly people knowledgeable of Japanese railways and people fluent in both Japanese and English. My Japanese ability is, in my own judgment, non-existent; while I have learned some features of the language on my own, and I do know bits of vocabulary, I've never been anywhere near Japan and I'm pretty sure that I couldn't so much as read a road sign or ask a cop for help on my own. I'm utterly dependant on machine tools like Google Translate (carefully applied and checked — I'm well aware that it can't be simply trusted as is!), the "10ten" dictionary-lookup browser plugin (an invaluable aid), and Google Lens (for OCR-reading graphical Japanese text) to do something like this.
Unfortunately, the original Japanese article does not have inline citations of its sources, and none of those sources are online anyway (they're rather old and Japanese-only), so I haven't been able to check them directly. Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 08:19, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Translation of fighting game play
editHello. I wish to add an appropriate translation to an article about a meme(Umehara ga kimeta) that originated from a fighting game in Japanese.
I would appreciate it if someone who has knowledge of martial arts or fighting games and is a native speaker of English could help me out with the text.
The original 17-second video can be found here, and the text in the Japanese source is as follows
「ウメハラがぁ!捕まえてぇぇ!ウメハラがぁ!画面端ぃっ!バースト読んでえぇっ!まだ入るぅ!ウメハラがぁっ!…つっ近づいてぇっ!ウメハラがぁ決めたぁぁーっ!」
The “つっ” part is important, and the play-by-play announcer originally wanted to say “捕まえて,” i.e., catch and throw, but this part cannot be omitted because it indicates that the game did not unfold that way and that the players moved beyond the play-by-play announcer's expectations.
If there are any improvements to current translation, please revise it.狄の用務員 (talk) 03:26, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
