# Talk:Okinawa Urban Monorail

Why is the "westernmost and southernmost stations" part unneeded?  It's at least slightly interesting, which is more than the rest of the article can hope to achieve, given the dry nature of the subject.  (I got it off the official website.)  Are there guidelines somewhere that somehow recommend against it?  I'm restoring it for the time being.  -- Minivet 05:03, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

i find it a little unneeded mostly becase of it's wordage, the map i dl easily shows the difference, but i don't mind either way. Sqkvii 07:59, 21 Jun 2005
Well, you can tell from the map that those are the westernmost and southernmost stations in the system, but you have to put that together with the fact that Okinawa is the westernmost and southernmost island in Japan that has any rail to get the information in that paragraph.  I could take out the specification of which stations they are exactly, but that feels somehow... a little less encyclopedic.  Specification is good, say I.  Minivet 03:43, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
could you reword it then for me then, i think it sounds a little strange, clarification is good i think.(^.^)b Sqkvii 06:15, 23 Jun 2005

The article fails to investigate the origins of Yuirail. Although it opened in 2003 during the governorship of Inamine Keiichi, its origins, of course, lie many years prior to that time. I would like to know during whose governorship and premiership it was initiated, what policy factors were involved, whether it was yet one more project concession made to Okinawa to placate local opinion against the background of the huge social burden of the U.S. military presence, and, if so, in answer to which specific incident or category of pressure. 
Furthermore, I would like to be informed of current planning regarding its extension beyond Shuri Station. It is clear that it will proceed down the Ishimine main shopping street which is being widened for its accommodation, and for some years hoardings have been posted in Nishihara illustrating a putative route through that town. Within the foreseeable future what is contemplated as being its terminus? 119.150.139.55 (talk) 04:21, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

In December 2015, Okinawa Urban Monorail announced that some station's English name will be renamed:

Naha-kūkō (那覇空港) → Naha Airport
Ōnoyama-kōen (奥武山公園) → Onoyama Park
Kenchō-mae (県庁前) → Prefectural Office
Shiritsu-byōin-mae (市立病院前) → Naha City Hospital
source: [1]
After that, almost every information or official websites are using the new English name. For example:

https://www.yui-rail.co.jp/en/faretable.html
[2], [3], [4], [5]
https://www.yui-rail.co.jp/yuirail/about - LCD information in trains
Therefore, the article title of these stations should be changed.--Y-route (talk) 06:13, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

No opposite comments, so I moved 3 pages to the new name, except Naha Airport Station.(→WP:RMT) --Y-route (talk) 09:27, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 Done --Y-route (talk) 13:26, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello! As per my pledge in Bedok Lighthouse's GAN review, I shall review this article. Should be interesting! Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2). Please ping me so that I get notified of your response  15:29, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

@AlphaBetaGamma: We're nearly done, I would just like to see the Urasoe extension proposal part expanded. If there are no sources available, then I suggest "After lengthy deliberation of possible route options" should be removed. On a more personal note, I must commend you for your efforts on this article, especially since it's about a transport system. I've tried tackling Sentosa Monorail but was unsuccessful due to poor planning. Perhaps Jurong Bird Park Panorail would be significantly easier... (or just ignore my personal musings). Anyways, just resolve this issue and I'll pass the article! Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2). Please ping me so that I get notified of your response  02:44, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm out of luck with finding detailed sources for this exact claim, so I'll pull the mention (that has been there since when I started editing the article) and come back later to fill the small gap. However, adding the extension plans that led to the extension will make Rail transport in Okinawa useless, so I don't think I'll need to do much with the article anyways.
On a side note, when making an article to a polished state like this, I really struggle with the "Rolling stock" section. Only generally unreliable sources have details like this online, forcing me to use books. However, changes can easily render the information on the book outdated, so I'm always holding my head in frustration unless the operator puts the detail, like in this case. You'll be seeing similar nominations (at least 2 more) from me for some time as the WP:AFC pool was recently drained.
But yeah, really, thanks for the review! I'm going to work on a different article now. AlphaBetaGamma  (Talk/report any mistakes here)  03:33, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
@Icepinner and then here's the ping :) AlphaBetaGamma  (Talk/report any mistakes here)  03:34, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
@AlphaBetaGamma I understand your struggles with rolling stocks. There's a book on the MRT released by the MRTC and it contains a lot of info, especially for the trains used in the MRT's inception Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151. However, that was released over 40 years ago and a lot has happened. The book is still pretty useful but I'm at the mercy of newspaper clippings (I don't think they even go into detail on the technical stuff). Anyways, I'll shortly pass this article. Congrats!
