message: He is considered to be the first victim of a hydrogen bomb, but I was wondering : what others are there (apart from other crewmembers of course)?
I understand that this is not such an easy question, one is never sure how much radiation has contributed to someone's earlier death

thread_title:  Distance from ground zero? 

message: Someones trolled this article... Im just a wiki noob but the article says:
"He noted that they were taking a long time to die, and when finally dead, appeared to still have some life in them. Dr. Nishiwaki claimed to have witnessed some dead crew members twitch or actually come back to life and attack medical staff by trying to eat them alive. Some of these medical staff members that died would also either twitch or come back to life and attempt to eat anyone alive within their reach. The US vehemently denied these events and did not respond to Nishiwaki's letter or to letters from other Japanese scientists requesting information and help.[9]"
Zombies... o_O maybe someone that knows how to wiki can fix it 188.122.38.102 (talk) 14:37, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

message: This article says "After negotiations with the Japanese side, the United States paid each surviving crew member 2 million yen on average as sympathy money in a political settlement." --Esemono (talk) 12:12, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, the reference doesn't say anything about the negotiations proceeding swiftly, and you also removed the referenced content about the payment to the widow. Also you got the yen/dollar exchange wrong. Not a great edit. JoshuSasori (talk) 12:42, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Really?  I'm basing it from 1949–71 the Yen was pegged to the american dollar at 360.  What info are you using? -- Esemono (talk) 13:29, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: What info are you using? The actual exchange rate now. As I have stated above, I believe your edits are poor quality and diminish the article. JoshuSasori (talk) 22:15, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Why would you use today's exchange rate for transaction that happened decades ago?  That makes no sense. -- Esemono (talk) 04:02, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Compensation

message: I've completed a few edits of this article recently and wanted to state here that this article really needs some strong medical references WP:RSMED to support the notion that Aikichi Kuboyama died of acute radiation syndrome(ARS) and not his underlying liver disease.
I see here on the talk page history that this dispute over whether it was ARS or due to his liver cirrhosis is an old one and needs to be explained to readers.
Furthermore, having noticed here on the talk page that people want to know the health history of the other 22 crew members, I've added a "health history" section to the article and filled in a little detail on two surviving crew members.
I will also add a map in a few minutes to give readers an estimate on how far away the ship was from Castle Bravo's ground zero.
I don't think it is known with a great degree of accuracy exactly where the Lucky Dragon no.5 was at the time of the detonation, and at the time of fallout arriving at their location, nor is it known how long they stayed and continued to fish in the area, oblivious to the danger after the fallout arrived.
If we can find a reference stating the length of time between when fallout arrived at their location and they first began showing symptoms of ARS, such as vomiting, I can provide a reference that will estimate their total absorbed dose.
Regards

message: Hello everyone,
I have updated the article. I added to several sections, removed a section, and created two new sections. I updated the history of the ship after it returned to Japan including the history of the crew. I adjusted the names in the article so they now show the correct Japanese form.

message: What happened to the ship post-contamination doesn't make sense.  First it says "On August 22, the ship was purchased by the Japanese government and towed to the Tokyo University of Fisheries.[28] In 1956, the ship was refitted and renamed as Hayabusa Maru and put to use as a training vessel."   But then 2 paragraphs later: "On June 11, 1970, the Lucky Dragon No.5 received media attention as it still sat in garbage within the canal."
What canal? what garbage? What happened to it being a training vessel? Something is missing here.  IneedAuserName4WikiAndIChooseYouPikachuButNotAsh (talk) 03:34, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
