# Talk:Charter Oath

I corrected some atrocious mistake in translation. It is difficult even for a Japanese to read this old style Japanese. Reference from a Western author should be treated carefully unless they make reference of their translation to Japanese source. Vapour
To be honest, the previous version is quite biased.  For example, the direct translation of first oath is "Raise assemblies widely and decide everything with public principle".  Nowhere does it acutally demand that Japan establish parliamental democracies. Vapour

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Charter Oath/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.
This is being reviewed under the GA sweeps.
The article is neutral, balanced, very well-written and appropriately referenced. Though not well-documented, the only image used appears to be in order.
The article meets GA criteria. The comments on the 'to-do' list remain valid, in that the article could be more comprehensive and have a stronger lead. There is no question however that the article "addresses the main aspects of the topic" and so is OK for GA. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
