Comments

I think "was an English language periodical" should be "was an English-language periodical" Done
"Cover of the first issue of Japan Echo magazine." caption doesn't need the full stop and Japan Echo should be in italics. Done
" by the Foreign Ministry" is that the same as the "Foreign Affairs Ministry"?  You use "Foreign Ministry" a few times... Done
"After two more years, the Japanese government shut it down in 2012" you probably don't need "two more years" and 2012. Done
"periodicals like Chuo Koron" including instead of like.  Done
Any reason why those periodicals aren't spelt with they diacritics etc? Done
"was buying up 70"-> "bought 70" Done
"The Economist magazine" italics for the magazine title. Done
Japan Times -> The Japan Times. Done
" by Yomiuri Shimbun" -> "by newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun" Done
"though Cortazzi also condemned" -> although he also condemned... Done
"The Globe and Mail"-> The Globe and Mail". Done
"To deal with Japan's mounting fiscal deficits the " comma after deficits. Done
"Japanese affairs including Hugh Cortazzi " no need to repeat Hugh here. Done
"forward that best bid" why "that"?  Why not "the"? Done
Year ranges in the second infobox need en-dashes, just like the first infobox. Done
Not sure the direct relevance of the See also link to contemporary Japan.
Avoid SHOUTING in the refs (e.g. title of ref 25). Done
A handful of minor issues so I'll place the article on hold for the moment.  The Rambling Man (talk) 07:26, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your helpful corrections. Is there anything else I can do? However, I'm leaning towards keeping the link to Contemporary Japan, even though there is no direct connection between the two. The two magazines just seem so similar to me. They both were intended for a foreign audience, both consisted of translations of Japanese language essays, and both had semi-official government sponsorship.CurtisNaito (talk) 17:52, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
No problem.  I was confused by the see also because it wasn't italicised, so I didn't realise it was actually about a publication, I just thought it was about contemporary Japan!  Anyway, I've made a few final tweaks, but now it's good to pass.  Nice work.  The Rambling Man (talk) 07:27, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Japan Echo. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
