Talk:Nogi Maresuke

message: Greetings friends,
Given the sad conduct of the Japanese troops under Tojo & Co. during the Pacific War, I thought it worthwhile to note that the quality of the command under Nogi was honorable. With reference to the Port Arthur massacre discussed below, I can't comment. -- For what it's worth. 
Also, I don't know whether it is important, but I think the flag next to Nogi's photo is the Japanese _navy_ standard. The army used and uses the standard Hinomaru flag.

message: There should be some mention of this, like "He was largely responsible for the later atrocity that occurred after occupation, known as the Port Arthur Massacre."
Yes? Hanfresco (talk) 07:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No -Strongly disagree - the Port Arthur Massacre (and there is considerable historical debate as to whether or not this event actually occured) has been attributed to forces under command of General Yamaji Motoharu (1841-1897), not Nogi.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MChew (talk • contribs) 08:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah indeed, you're right. However, the event also occurred. It's the scope that's debated. Hanfresco (talk) 07:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Just removed an external link, but I wonder if that was spam or an attempt to reference ?  ----Erkan Yilmaz 15:49, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This small question was easily resolved.  I've added Nogi's GCB to the info box (with citation linked to the online London Gazette); and I've created an "Honors" section for listing the honors, decorations and awards conferred on Nogi.  A comment in the text section of this article allows more clarity than is possible within the cramped of an infobox. --Tenmei (talk) 20:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I have added a section called "Man of letters".  Rather than talking about his literary talent in a few sentences, I opted to quote his three most famous poems, which may be too much in this already excellent Wikipedia page.  You are all welcome to modify that section, plus change the English translations of the poems.  Yoshi Canopus (talk) 02:24, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
