message: Mitsudomoe seems to be somewhat duplicative, could be merged into this azrticle... AnonMoos (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I think the 'popular culture' section should be removed.
It doesn't add anything to the article, and it makes little sense to list every known instance of a symbol showing up in popular culture. Can you imagine what the Yin and yang article would look like if we started a list of every 'pop culture' reference. -Pollinosisss (talk) 03:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Theoretically, selective entries might be kept if they were about the use of the Tomoe as a significant plot-point in a notable literary or cinematic work, or if the use of the Tomoe somewhere had significant impact on the general public's awareness or interpretation of the Tomoe symbol.  However, I'm not sure that I see any such cases in the list... AnonMoos (talk) 13:28, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

text: There are lots of pages on Wikipedia with a "in popular culture" section. It would be helpful to the reader to at least include a few examples so he can see the tomoe in use. --RisingSunWiki 22:19, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I think the picture(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kyujutsu04.jpg) has no tomoe. These archers has nothing to with tomoe. You can find tomoe symbol on the drum in center-bottom of the following picture.

message: Is there a source that provides the hiragana for this term?  I have an electronic dictionary (Casio XD ST4500) in front of me for the term, which reads the hiragana as ともえ.   Is ともゑ historical usage or something else?  If so, could we consider some way to distinguish historical and contemporary hiragana with the character? I, JethroBT drop me a line 05:28, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: ともゑ is just the historical "spelling". It just changed to the modern ともえ over time, like coöperation →cooperation. We can just make this more explicit in the article, although it currently reads "... tomowe (ともゑ) in its archaic form."  ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 00:24, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

message: I suggest that the Okinawa material, fascinating in its own right, deserves its own page, as it is still WP:Undue compared to the overall article. Okinawa is a minor episode in the mitsudomoe, yet the reader gets the impression it is the dominant story told there.
All it declares here is that no one is willing to write up the complex essential story about the tomoe on the Japanese islands.Nishidani (talk) 14:13, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Either way, there is too much about the flag than needs to be in an article about Tomoe in general. I’ll move most of the information to Flag of Ryukyu. ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 19:44, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
