Talk:Japanese river otter

message: I'm sitting in my living room in Tokyo watching a TV show where the host is playing with two of them and taking them around to swim in hot springs and the like. This is the "kawauso," or カワウソ. So how extinct could they be?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.216.99.100 (talk) 10:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: カワウソ in general are not extinct. It's the particular subspecies Lutra lutra whiteleyi that is possibly extinct. See the Japanese articles on カワウソ and ニホンカワウソ. --Ptcamn (talk) 00:38, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Japanese Devils

message: I find it quite strange that the title for this movie is told to be Riben Guizi, when 日本鬼子 quite clearly is romanized as Nihon Onigo. I would assume that Riben Guizi is the Chinese pronounciation? Also the mention of Japanese high chool textbooks seem quite out of place, especially when considering that those books about which the big textbook controversy is read by 0.039% of students in Japan. I sense Chinese propaganda in this article. Please fix it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.184.16.234 (talk) 22:09, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Athanasios Diakos

message: I've made a few changes to the article with regard to Diakos's final words. I suppose it comes down to which version you read in school, but I've encountered the term "Ρωμιός" (Roman) more than "Γραικός" (Graikos). 
Secondly, popular romanticised tradition has him reciting a poem while he's being roasted alive on a spit. I have yet to find any credible sources that specify whether he was actually placed over a fire; most sources just mention impalement. Dragases 10:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Japanese traditional dance

message: There was a small snipet that talked about the modern Soran Bushi dance that I thought was out of place, and I removed it. Though I'm sure that the modern Soran Bushi Dance, also known as "Rockin' Soran Bushi" is an important part of Japanese culture, I'm not sure it belongs in a wiki article called "Japanese Traditional Dance." It belongs in another article called "Japanese Modern Dance," as Rockin' Soran Bushi is much newer than the original Soran Bushi.
Which leads to my next question; does Bon Odori really belong here? It is most definitely a kind of traditional dance, but it is a separate genre from Nihon Buyo. Bon Odori is part of the Obon festival, and the Bon Dance is already described there. Bon Odori should be mentioned only briefly as part of a bigger description of Japanese dance IMO.

Talk:TVB Jade

message: TVB is not without controversy, but putting the link there without stating it within the article-- ie TVB in general being rightist in news presentation-- is strange.
The link should be kept, but something should be written in the article accompanying it, or it would look a bit meaningless except as some form of protest. (I seen a few left-leaning links in HK-related articles that is not even remotely mentioned in that article. That is a bit weird.)

Talk:Jūminhyō

message: Juminhyo is a transliteration of the Japanese word for Residency Registration.  Using the word Juminhyo is not educating people.  Using the Japanese pronunciation to impress people with your multi-cultural ability simply shows you are unable to distinguish the two languages in your mind.  Claiming that calling residency registration Juminhyo is appropriate because most people do so, which is arguable, does not make the misnomer appropriate.  We should be using terms that well-spoken, educated people use.  If most people said 'me' instead of 'I', we would not change the rules of grammar, would we?  
Of course, words like sushi or kimono symbolize things that are not present in other societies, and that is a different issue.  Residency registration is easily translatable.--Mak Allen (talk) 08:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: C S (talk) points out on the discussion page of Japanese alias that neither juminhyo or koseki appear in standard English dictionaries.  I think we should rename this page.  Dissenters?--Mak Allen (talk) 02:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As such a move is likely to be controversial, I would suggest posting it to Wikipedia:Requested moves.

*Oppose. "Jūminhyō" is the widely-used and widely-understood term, whereas "Residency registration system" appears to be an arbitrary term chosen by the nominator (with just 346 Google hits). Does any Japanese-English dictionary give this as a translation of "Jūminhyō"? The Kenkyusha "Green Goddess" doesn't, and the comprehensive Eijiro online dictionary doesn't either. --DAJF (talk) 11:35, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Kaishakunin

message: I have deleted the following:
"This head cut is not supposed to go all the way through the samurai's neck: honor dictated that the cut shall finish just before completely beheading the samurai that has committed the seppuku. Complete decapitation was considered a grave dishonor and disgrace."
Reason: there is nothing to substantiate this at all. It wasn't sourced, either. The only thing I have come across that suggests that leaving a piece of skin was at once considered "ideal" is from the Hagakure, and even there it was not a matter of disgrace. In fact, in the Hagakure, Yamamoto Tsunetomo advocates cutting all the way through - better to do the job properly than risking botching the job: "In the practice of past times, there were instances when the head flew off. It was said that it was best to cut leaving a little skin remaining so that it doesn't fly off in the direction of the verifying officials. However, at present it is best to cut clean through." Of course, the notion that a 10 lb head should go "flying off" (presumeably from the blood pressure) is absurd. This was likely just an urban legend back in the day in Japan. --Tsuka (talk) 15:23, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Chagama

message: To my knowledge, the term "chagama" is not the standard word for this item in the vocabulary of the Japanese Tea Ceremony. On the other hand, the term "kama" in the Japanese language does not necessary indicate the kind of item known as "kama" in the Japanese Tea Ceremony -- the item possibly called "chagama". It seems to me that these distinctions need to be addressed in a general wikipedia article on the topic of "kama," even if the article heading has a parenthesized "(Japanese tea ceremony)" added to it.Tksb (talk) 14:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems like the "chawan"/"matchawan" distinction.  No tea person would call a tea bowl a "matchawan" unless it was necessary to distinguish between a rice bowl and a tea bowl.

Talk:Breast binding

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: No consensus. !Voting is almost a 50:50 split here, and when I look at the arguments made by supporters and opposers, there are really valid policy points to be found on both sides - I don't think I can make a definitive determination that either side has presented better evidence or more policy-compliant reasoning. As an example, it was said below that , and there is some evidence that specialist and medical sources prefer "chest binding", but equally there was an ngram presented which shows "breast binding" enjoying something of a lead in book sources. All in all there's no consensus here. If people want to follow up on the suggestion below of a split, to make an article more particularly about the term "chest binding" in the trans community then that's a subject for a fresh discussion. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 12:10, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Breast binding →  – Per the previous discussion on this Talk page, the term "breast binding" has been mostly supplanted in the media (1, 2) and medical sources by "chest binding." As mentioned previously, Google Trends shows that the term is far more popular than the current one. Many of the more recent sources for this page use "chest binding." There are many studies and medical sources (1, 2), including the medical-standard WPATH Standards of Care, that also use it. Additionally, the current title uses gendered language for anatomy, which can be noninclusive for some people. Lastly, as societal acceptance and understanding of LGBTQ people changes, so too must our language. Iscargra (talk) 12:55, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
