message: I think that the information on this link could be merged into the main article: Japan... What do you think, administrators? --154.20.102.96 03:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not an administrator, but I think it's too much. The article on Japan is already too long, and there's no particular reason to merge this, without also merging history, government and politics, and the other daughter articles. The result would be way too big, in my opinion. Fg2 04:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, no reason to include all of this information on the main Japan article. It'd be far too long. Bobo12345 04:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is becoming a fairly good article by itself, and I don't think there's any pressing need to merge. Dekimasu 05:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with main Japan article? 

message: Should this article really have coordinates?  Japan is a location.  "Geography of Japan" is not a location, but because this article has been geotagged it shows up in visualization services (like Google Earth) as if it was a location.
I think the coords should be removed.

thread_title: Coordinates?

message: In the introduction the article states that the total area is comparable to Montana (area:381156 kmsq). Then in the next section the size is closer to California(area:410000 kmsq). Japan's actual area is 378000 kmsq. Choose one or the other. Go with Montana for accuracy, or with California for name recognition. Don't be confusing with both of them.

thread_title:  Collective Area 

message: I removed the sentence "Japan's area has been steadily increasing due to construction of artificial islands." While it's true that Japan constructs islands, it's unclear whether the area of the country increases when they are constructed. The area may be naturally decreasing due to erosion, for example, and the artificial islands might or might not be enough to offset that. Whether or not the construction increases the area, it's so tiny a fraction that the increase in area is not worth mentioning. (The construction of islands may be worth mentioning, but probably not in the introduction.) Fg2 (talk) 02:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

message: According to the Bonin Islands article, the Volcano Islands are separate from the Bonins, but this article presents them as separate. Wakablogger (talk) 07:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You have a point. For that matter, the Bonin Islands article also lists, Marcus Island and Okino Torishima, too. What is not mentioned is whether the Norther Territories are counted or not. imars (talk) 11:36, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bonin and Volcano Islands separate? 

message: According to List of islands of Japan, there are 6852 islands. Wakablogger (talk) 07:21, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

message: "As of 2011, 46.1% of energy in Japan was produced from petroleum, 21.3% from coal, 21.4% from natural gas, 4.0% from nuclear power and 3.3% from hydropower. Nuclear power is a major domestic source of energy and produced 9.2 percent of Japan's electricity, as of 2011, down from 24.9 percent the previous year"
What is the correct figure for nuclear power in 2011? 4% or 9.2% ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.223.99.198 (talk) 20:44, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Hello, this is LongRoadLongRoad. 
I have a request for more pages about the plains and plateaus of Japan. As of now, there only 4 pages i could find on this topic.
They are:
* 1. Kantō Plain
* 2. Nōbi Plain
* 3. Osaka Plain
* 4. Shirasu-Daichi
The reason why I have a request is that I kinda suck at making new pages. LongRoadLongRoad (talk) 19:03, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
