Talk:Natsume Sōseki

message: Is there any information available on Natsume Soseki's death? He was only 49, seems a bit young, even for the early 20th century. The Japanese page mentions a "stomach ulcer." --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 21:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He began writing one novel a year until his death from a stomach ulcer in 1916. There is a little more detail on the Japanese page, but the basics of his death are already in this article.  Feel free to expand, of course. CES 00:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

message: While it's nice to have Natsume Soseki's picture from the 1000-yen note on this page, I don't think it qualifies as fair use. The image is shown with a "public domain" tag, but I think that's in error (see my comment on ) and the tag on the 10000-yen note states that for copyrighted currency, "their use on Wikipedia is contended to be fair use when they are used for the purposes of commentary or criticism relating to the image of the currency itself. Any other usage of them, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement." The use of the picture here is informative, but it's not fair use under the policy's current interpretation, so I'm removing the photo from this page. Dekimasu 07:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of 1000-yen note 

message: I correct the date of the return in japan according to the japanese wikipedia page about the author (that says 帰国後の1903年). I'm not sure of the accuracy of this information, but I found it on many internet sources, and I suppose also that the japanese are well informed about their major author.
If someone discovers that I'm wrong please restore the previous version -Gianfrancesco Pomponazzi- from italian Wikipedia  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.13.184.50 (talk) 11:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  the return in japan 

message: According to my research at the website for this organization, Soseki is the beneficiary of more translations of his works than any other author. I think this would make a nice addition to this article. Its interesting to note that the translation of works from japanese to english was the most common mode for this organization.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 22:22, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: [[UNESCO Collection of Representative Works]]

message: In this edit, HIDECCHI001 changed the targeted article piped behind "Great Britain" from United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (the state which existed from 1801 to 1921, which period includes Sōseki's visit) to United Kingdom (short for United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which came into being in 1921, years after Sōseki' death). This seems incorrect, but rather than simply reverting, I propose unpiping the link, so that it goes directly to the article on Great Britain, which is in fact where he visited. Are there any other viewpoints before I edit? --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 13:43, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  UK/GB? 

message: The article has been assessed Start class for two reasons: it lacks sufficient citations and it is deficient in coverage. The Lead section states: "In Japan, he is often considered the greatest writer in modern Japanese history. He has had a profound effect on almost all important Japanese writers since." These two points, although probably true, are not referenced and not addressed in the text. If true, then a short "Legacy" section is justified, mentioning his prominence, influence, and honors or cultural references, such as his appearance on cash notes. - Boneyard90 (talk) 21:47, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  WP:Japan Assessment 

message: The article is inconsistent in name usage; sometimes it calls him Natsume, other times Soseki.
1/2/15: This is fixed now. Soseki, the author's family name, is now used throughout the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RickN555 (talk • contribs) 17:41, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Why is this article placing the surname first? This is not normally done for Japanese or Hungarian people on Wikipedia and is unnecessarily confusing. Korn (talk) 11:12, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article should be moved to 'Sōseki Natsume' 

message: OK, I'm fine with us keeping his name in the original Japanese organization (even if it's inconsistent with our other articles), but shouldn't this article refer to him as Natsume? Saturdayopen (talk) 06:56, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
