message: The article currently states that Akihito abdicated on 30 April and Naruhito succeeded him on 1 May. But although the abdication ceremony was on 30 April, his reign continued until midnight, at which moment his son succeeded him. The two dates make it appear that these events were not simultaneous, but my understanding is that there was no interregnum. We need to make that clear. Richard75 (talk) 16:11, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a fair point. But we have to use the dates that reliable sources use, which are 30 April for the abdication, and 1 May for the succession. The concept of midnight is not strictly defined, and there is no unanimous agreement on what it means, or whether it "occurs" on one date or another. It's not certain that the end of Akihito's reign and the beginning of Naruhito's were simultaneous, which might imply overlapping. In other words, I don't know that there is a point in time that is simultaneously Tuesday and Wednesday. It would be better to talk about a transition between the two reigns/days. I don't know the best way to word it but it could be something like "Akihiro completed an abdication ceremony on the afternoon of 30 April, and his reign continued until the end of the day, with Naruhito's reign starting at the beginning the next, on 1 May." It should go later in the article, not in the lead section. --IamNotU (talk) 16:53, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

text: Indeed, it's because the abdication occurred at midnight Japanese time, that the dates are different. At the very moment April 30, 2019 ended & May 1, 2019 began, Akihito's reign ended & Naruhito's reign began. GoodDay (talk) 20:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: We should also be careful about the wording of that. We can say that Akihito completed the abdication ceremony in the afternoon, and that his reign is considered to have lasted until the end of the day, since we have sources saying both. Which of those constitutes the "actual" abdication we can't say, not without a reliable source - we can't say that "he abdicated at the end of the day", when sources don't say that, and describe a formal act of abdication in the afternoon. I've changed the introduction accordingly, and added a paragraph about it later in the article. I hope it's clear enough. --IamNotU (talk) 23:33, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

message: Is it considered proper to just translate a Japanese article into English? If so, I'm happy to contribute in that way .. Sucker for All (talk) 14:22, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not good practice to replace the entire article wholesale with a translation from the Japanese version, but it has 101 refs while the English article currently has 53. It is probably safest to expand this by small portions, being careful about the existing English article text. Dl2000 (talk) 00:15, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
