message: Are there any sources cited for this article? --malber 01:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Japanese wiki article for the crime has a link to  (in Japanese) which is a quite extensive listing of everything about him gathered from media published sources. Everything in this article is probably covered there. There is no and will never be the corresponding article in Japanese Wikipedia since there were several rulings in court that ruled protection of privacy can be more important then media's right to report. --Revth 02:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you summarize the rulings in question? I was rather surprised to find that the Japanese Wikipedia article doesn't even mention the guy's name, even though he's been found guilty with overwhelming evidence. Jpatokal 07:40, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Those sources should be cited here as well. Wikipedia should not cite itself as a source. --malber 02:39, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

text: The source for Takuma's psychological profile (http://www004.upp.so-net.ne.jp/kuhiwo/takmar.html) does not have a single link (I have clicked through all of them) that leads to a source backing up the psych information that it reports, or that is reported in the wikipedia article.  The website's links that do lead to something other than a "source not found" page mention information that does not appear to be connected to Takuma.  This source does not meet wikipedia guidelines for reliable sources (it is self-published, has no editorial review, and does not cite any of the information being reported in this wikipedia page), and the information it supports should be removed until a reliable source can be found.

thread_title: Sources

message: The romaji transcription of Takuma's sourced Japanese statement was flagged with . This feels rather absurd -- anybody who knows Hepburn romanization can confirm that my transcription is, indeed, correct -- so I've removed it.  Jpatokal 11:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "cn" for transcription 

message: So this is interesting.  The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal via Knight-Ridder translates 捕まえて死刑にしてほしかった as "Give me a death sentence", but the original actually says "I wanted to be caught and given an death sentence", which is quite different.  However, I can't find a source for the accurate translation, as all Western news sites just seem to parrot the original wire agency copy.  What to do? Jpatokal (talk) 07:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation in paper vs actual meaning 

message: Hi all!  As mentioned previously, the following source is not reliable by wikipedia standards for reliable sources: there is no editorial oversight, and the majority of the links to support its information lead to error pages.  All information based upon this source should be removed from this article, and this source should not be used in the future.

message: He caused two fatal accidents that killed at least three people in total, and while he was never charged with these crimes, it is possible that they were intentional. This should be mentioned in the opening, the kill count should be changed to "11+ victims", and the article should be given the :Category:Suspected serial killers category.
: That's a big claim and needs solid sources, particularly if he was never convicted. Jpatokal (talk) 21:52, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
