message: Why does this article have a section titled "Rise of the falcons"? What do falcons have to do with Japanese-American relations? Although falcons are mentioned in the section title, they are not mentioned anywhere in the body text. --JHP 17:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rise of the falcons?

message: It would seem that the majority of the article is taken from http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/ and has remained basicly unaltered. The fighting falcons is there from the first version of this page as far as I can tell, even though I couldn't find any mention of it. What it might be is a reference to the F-2, the variant of the F-16 fighting falcon, even though I've only heard of the Fighting Falcon refering the the F-16 and the nickname Viper more commonly used for both. I suggest a title change for that section as it doesn't make a lot of sense.71.214.3.41 03:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: there's a large gap between 1860 until World War 2. Can someone perhaps add to this section?
:I was going to say the same thing.  Shidehara Diplomacy, emigration issues, these all need to be covered.  I know a little bit, but not enough to contribute singly. matt91486 21:18, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: 1860-1940's?

message: This article mentions that the Japanese constitution forbids the deployment of Japanese military personnel overseas, however it also mentions that Japan sent troops to aid the U.S. in Iraq. Perhaps a knowledgeable person could insert information regarding whether or not their constitution had changed, and if not, how did Japan get around it to send the troops.

thread_title:  Copyright Infringement Notice 

message: "great cultural proliferation" ? Seriously? I suggest that this is changed, both due to percived gramattical issues and more to the point the fact that quite frankly it dosn't make any great amount of sense. The concept of "cultural proliferation" is only relevant in social philosophy or, to be blunt, idealogical warfare.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Where are all the monkeys???

message: April 06, 2009: I read this lengthy article and don't remember any section having the wrong tone.  The tone seems encyclopedic, even though some of the content is either not top notch or is (here and there) phrased from a US perspective. At the top of the article it warns that it's not written in an encyclopedic tone, but this warning should be moved to one particular section, if anyone can identify one. -User:Ejoty  —Preceding undated comment added 09:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Early 1900s Tensions and Yellow Peril?

message: There are many mentions of Perry bombarding the Japanese in books and on the web. Here are just a few.
* Perry had meticulously studied the Japanese culture before setting sail and had some understanding of the procedures that he must follow. The negotiations were unproductive and tedious, and not at all civil. Early in the process, Perry fired on and destroyed several buildings lining the harbor. The Japanese did not possess and had never seen steam technology and they were terrified. They finally came to terms with the fact that they could not defend themselves and they could not sustain their isolation policy. On March 31, 1854, the United States and Japan signed the historic treaty which opened up Japan to the West. It was known as The Convention of Kanagawa. ( From the Landreth Seed Company: www.landrethseeds.com/newsletters/Volume%205/Issue%206%20-%20Part%20VI%20The%20Period:%201850-1860/Garlic.html )
* The real Japan emerged fro obscurity after the visit of Conodore Perry, when its thirty millions of people were awakened from their  long slumber by the sound of cannon balls fired from the American flag-ship in the bay of Uraga. ( From the book: Some historical phases of modern Japan by Shosuke Sato, Japan Society 1916 www.archive.org/stream/somehistoricalph00satorich#page/viii/mode/2up )
* In 1853, superior military technology forced the opening of Japan when a small fleet of U.S. warships, led by Commodore Perry fired on the harbor at Edo (modern Tokyo).  ( From: www.samuseum.org/files/AsianTeacherResourceGuide.pdf ) 99.40.190.97 (talk) 09:57, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

message: This edit I stumbled on but it, from spot checks, seemed to be completely opinion and completely unfounded on new citations and certainly not -- again for the three+- I checked -- drawn on the existing, next-in-the-text citations. I'm sorry I can't do a thorough exam of the large, ranging set of additions encompassed in the one edit but I think reversal was warranted. The details of what I did do are sketched in the Edit summary. I'm open to opinion, alternate or otherwise. Swliv (talk) 23:31, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Deleting all in-line citations and only having one big citation at the end of an entire paragraph is not a good practice, though. It means that if people come along later and add new material to that paragraph, it will become unclear which source the information comes from. --Ash-Gaar (talk) 01:48, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, we really should be using citation templates instead of hand-made citations, especially in an article this long. In this case, if you want to shorten the citations, the sfn template is probably best. --Ash-Gaar (talk) 02:54, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
