message: I'm not at all sure that Japanese Brownies are called Watakushi as this page suggests - that is a word meaning 'I' (like watashi). The  website suggests they are just called 'Brownies', but I have emailed the organisation to check and will report back if I get a response. -- Lucy (a wiki newbie - be gentle!)
Thanks, Lucy, I don't know either, not (yet) speaking Japanese, would love to know what you find out. Chris 00:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Attention tag

message: With a B-Class rating, I'd rather expect a bit more info in the article. I didn't re-grade it but explicitly retained the immediate-attention-required rating as well. Unfortunately, my Japanese is rather lowly, and therefore I cannot grab info from the Japanese article. I hope others can step in. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 20:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a reverse way to tag the Japanese article with the request for translation _from_ it? Chris 02:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mine is nonexistent, that was one of my goals to learn before Sheri died, this year. Sorry. Chris 23:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Peerreviewer script output

message: I have translated the article :ja:日本ジャンボリー as Nippon Jamboree. It was submitted as a source of information for this article, but I felt it would make more sense to add it separately.
However, there is a lot more information that could be added at :ja:ボーイスカウト (essentially all of Section 2), so I have changed the translation note on the article page to point to that. If anyone is interested in having this information added, maybe they could resubmit the request. --Grgcox 15:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "Although Scouting activity was minimal during World War II, membership in 2001 was 165,544." - I don't see an immediate connection...should they be split in two sentences, or did I miss something? Ornilnas 11:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, that's horrible, and I don't know when it got changed. Yes, please split it. Chris 14:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Introduction

message: There was a citation request to "Fuji Scout". Kiku Scout (translates to Chrysanthemum 
Scout) is the highest rank in Boy Scouts section. "Fuji Scout" is the highest rank in Venture Scouts section. Please refer to section 2.2 of ja:ボーイスカウト
Regarding the uniform, please cite the source for "Scouts favor the Smokey Bear style hats". The official uniform for Boy Scout section and above is green beret. --Shun1990 01:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Johnwilsonp48.jpg

message: Could someone find a source of that "A 1916 photograph of Japanese Boy Scouts drilling with rifles" ? The discussion page at wikimedia commons "Japan drills Boy Scouts with rifles 1916.png" raises a question whether those kids are really a member of Boy Scouts or not. There are many other youth groups in Japan besided Boy Scouts, and these kids in the photo aren't even wearing a uniform or any insignia of a Scout! Japanese government started its own militarized youth movement on public schools during WWII like the hitler youth, which clearly is a different organization from Boy Scouts, so whoever uploaded this photo may have mistaken the fact. Anyone, please post your comment or source; if nothing heard, I would like to delete the photo from this article. --Tomyan (talk) 13:49, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
