thread_title: how can privitization 

message: Despite the title, Postal privatisation bills deals only with with the Junichiro Koizumi proposal. It is already covered in this article's history section. I do not know the extent of attention this got in Japan, but I doubt it merits an article in its own - a news article, or several, absolutely but this is not Wikinews. I suggest to merge that article here. // habj 16:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge [[postal privatisation bills]] here? 

message: I dont think so. The latest incarnations and baptisation processes should be in history. Plus, how could it become the World's biggest bank in merely 4 years? Tri400 03:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Founded 2003? 

message: Given that it's 2/3rds of the way through 2007 - the year privatization is supposed to happen - could anyone update the article with the status of privatization? --moof 08:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It'll happen on October 1st. We just got something in the mail (in Japanese) about 2 weeks ago. It's also mentioned here. — CJewell (talk to me) 02:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  status on privatization? 

message: It is fascinating that so much effort has been put into this article,... good; however, for someone who had looked for it w/o knowing the agency's precise name, it is hidden.
The various articles that reference the word "postal" are poorly  disambiguated, poorly sorted, poorly categorized.  These articles should all be simply linked.  This is another example of the in-crowd attitude of this website: making everything as difficult to locate as feasible, & therefore, disability-inaccessible, as severely disabled are those who are most likely to have the most difficulty w/ this convolution.  Please: simplify.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Japan post logo.png

message: I heard that the steady privatization of Japan Post has been stopped according to the Japanese and Korean news few days ago. Mentioning some quarrel between Kamei Shizuka (亀井静香) and the PM Hatoyama. Komitsuki (talk) 08:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Privatization halted

message: It is interesting that a Google search for these keywords - Japan Postal Services Agency - returns very little. In the 1980s & 1990s (and earlier)Postal Savings was a part of this Agency. Postal Savings was the largest depository for people's savings in Japan with about 1 Trillion USD on deposit. As I recall it was suggested that the Japanese gov't used (invested?)these Postal Saving deposits to drive the Nikkei to 40,000 before the Nikkei collapsed causing the loss of hundreds of billions of USD for the depositors. I believe that in some part this created the malaise that the Japanese people have endured since 1990. It equates with the present situation in America where a huge part of the people's savings have been wiped out causing an economic collapse in finance, housing, manufacturing, equity markets.   
In 1970 the Yen was about 360Y/USD and by 1995 it had appreciated almost 300% to 95Y/USD. This was a truly remarkable appreciation of the Japanese currency and accounts in some part for Japan becoming the #2 global economy. It is my experience that the American worker is as industrious, if not more so, than a Japanese worker. This of course contradicts a decades old myth about Japan (I am not American).
I wonder if the 2003 Japan Post is not simply a result that is analogous to America's Chapter 11 where a bankrupted Postal Savings bank is given a new start through reorganization or merger. Does Japanese pride & ego account for so little public information on the Agency that preceded Japan Post. Just curious.

thread_title:  Japan Postal Services Agency  

message: This is bizarre. The Japan Post was "born" in 2003, which makes it sound like the postal service was established for the first time, especially because there is no mention of what agency came before the Japan Post. No, wait... The infobox (not text) states that it followed the "reorganization of the Postal Services Agency". Ok, the term isn't wiki-linked, so I type into the search field, and.... it re-directs to this article. Can anyone help with this article? I'd like to put this on my "to do" list, but it will have to wait awhile for my in-depth attention. If someone else can improve it, please do so. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:48, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
