Talk:Fukushima (city)

message: References to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant were removed from this page because the power plant is not located in Fukushima City.  It is located in Okuma, which is perhaps 40 miles away from Fukushima City near the coast.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.12.253.44 (talk) 18:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  You responded to a seven-year old comment, but I'll bite anyway. A quick summation of post 3/11/11 Fukushima City would be: "Many residents were in mourning for lives lost in the tsunami and got angry at TEPCO then went about their lives more or less normally." I haven't had a desire to seek out citations in order to say that's it's more or less just another normal Japanese city. There are multiple normal and functioning cities closer (and with higher populations) to the nuclear plants than Fukushima City, but thanks to geographic misunderstanding those pages are left alone while this one is occasionally vandalized. If you wish to know more about the cities where the plants are actually located you can look up Ōkuma, Fukushima, Futaba, Fukushima or the nearby Namie, Fukushima and Tomioka, Fukushima, though with the caveat that the English language pages generally leave much to be desired in quality of content and sources. purplepumpkins (talk) 06:08, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: References to Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Removal

message: I recently noticed that since shortly after the earthquake happened someone added:
"After the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Fukushima City suffered a great deal of earthquake damage, including issues with water shortages and petrol rationing."
This had been on the article (and uncited at that) for over three months now until I just now deleted some of it and reworded/cited other parts of it. So for any interested parties, I just wanted to point out that while a few buildings in the city suffered major damage and many other buildings suffered minor damage, saying "a great deal of earthquake damage" is an exaggeration.
I also expanded and sourced the "issues with water shortages", however "petrol rationing" is a bit misleading. In the week or so following the quake most gas stations on the eastern coast of eastern Japan, if they had gas, would only supply gas to emergency vehicles. There was rationing that took place later, but due to it being so widespread throughout said region of the country and not necessarily concentrated in Fukushima City, in my opinion, it's not notable enough to be in this article. -- purplepumpkins (talk) 11:04, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami damage

message: I just gave the article a huge overhaul, with large portions of it being based on the corresponding Japanese article. I also removed the "stub" assessment for the page, as it's most definitely no longer a stub.
It still needs refinement and some proofreading, but considering that most of the content is there I decided it was time to make it live. Any feedback and/or corrections are appreciated. -- purplepumpkins (talk) 07:00, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Complete rewrite

message: I am left wondering what happened to the castle, as it was obviously important in the early history of the region and is no longer standing. Kendall-K1 (talk) 12:25, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
