Talk:Toyohara Kunichika

message: I see you asked for assessment and A-class review at the same time. Patience, patience. :-)
It is probably a B, but needs work to go beyond that. One source, different citation styles,
what you're hearing in the A-class review is exactly right. English sources are preferred, but not restricted to; if the best sources are in Japanese, use the ones in German and Japanese as well, they're not forbidden. advernturer is misspelled. If Ficke was influential enough that one book of his could sink an artist, should we have an article on him? Also if his name was Toyohara Kunichika, and that's what all the sources call him, we probably should move the article title to the full name. Beautiful pictures, well done there. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 19:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assessment 

message: I would find more sources to use - relying so much on one book is not a good idea in the long run (e.g. if you want to go for FA status). John Smith's (talk) 19:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: One further piece of advice

message: I have tried to address most of the issues raised. I expanded the explanation about the paucity of references in the reference section. I do not see how to address "master of design and of drama" without inserting my own opinion. I am a serious collector of Kunichika's work, so I could say a great deal based on my own knowledge and observations, but am constrained by Wikipedia rules. I absolutely WILL NOT cite any work I have not personally read. I consider that dishonest. "The Forgotten Artist" is a rephrasing of the title of the primary reference source.

thread_title:  Answers to above critiques. 

message: I saw this article on the GAN page, and while I do not consider myself competent to review it fully, I wanted to point an area that I think would improve the article.  I found the the artist's various name changes a bit confusing, until I read through the section twice. The lead gives no hint that he was known by another name, then the beginning of the first section appears to refer to another individual entirely. Of course, I was able to make sense of it by reading further, but then I felt compelled to go back and reread the section to ensure that I followed the progression correctly. Similarly, I found it confusing that the first sentence of the "Artist on the cusp of a new era" section reverted to the use of the name Yasohachi. I would encourage sticking to one naming system throughout the article (although of course his given name and the history of his professional name should appear). I also believe that it is customary under Wikiproject:Japan MOS to include the kanji for personal names after the romanji. Normally I would just make such changes, but when an author is trying to promote an article I prefer to defer to them. Good luck, I enjoyed reading this.
