Talk:Tokyo Station

message: * I'd like to know when this image was taken.  The cars seem like 80s model cars.  Has the building changed in appearance since this photo was taken?
: Judging from the surrounding buildings, I would say they are both recent. There is a new tower being built opposite side on the north, and it appears the construction crane visible in Marunouchi side photo is at that location so that would date it to around 2005 or early 2006. jcp 12:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The photo of the Yaesu side with the taxis is from January or February 2005, I believe. If that's the photo you're interested in, I can look it up for you. Fg2 12:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ownership 

message: Whichever way you want it, please be consistent:
Tatsuno Kingo (Family-Given)
Terunobu Fujimori (Given-Family)
Hara Takashi (Family-Given)
:The name order is set by WP:MOS-JA.  If Tatsuno and Hara were born before the Meiji era, then, Family-Given is correct; while Fujimori was born after that, so, Given-Family is correct.  Sometimes, consistency within an article is a real problem, and, it might be worth a discussion at the manual of style to see if we should bend the rules for links to people in articles like this.  I don't have any idea how that discussion would turn out. Neier 02:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have noticed that this article gives passenger statistics for FY1913 whereas the station itself did not open until 1914. Is there a reason for this? Thank you in advance, JTST4RS (talk) 11:10, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. It was me that added the statistics, and I've rechecked the source, which definitely says "1913" (Taisho 2), but as that conflicts with the fact that the station did not open until late 1914, it might be better just to snip the figures for that year completely as being suspect. --DAJF (talk) 10:12, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your reply. I have tracked down the sources that the ja article uses for the passenger statistics as a digital copy on the National Diet Archives. Indeed according to  p. 241 (126 in the digital copy) there is no indication of passenger statistics for a Tokyo station in 1913, but  p. 756 (386 in the digital copy) indicates an annual boarding figure of 553,105 in 1914 (which the ja article divides by 102, the number of days it was open in FY1914, to give 5423 per day). I have decided to replace the "1913" data with this 1914 data but I have kept it as an annual average to avoid the confusion over division. I hope this is OK, JTST4RS (talk) 12:27, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that looks like the best solution. Thanks for finding that source. --DAJF (talk) 09:15, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Passenger statistics date inconsistency 

message: I have noticed while looking at the station on google earth that platforms 1-2, and shinkansen platforms are about one level higher than the main platform level. should this be noted in the article? Also, i will change the section of the platform maps that says "ground level" to "main level", since there are actually no platforms at ground level.
