message: According to the IMTFE verdict, Shimada was found guilty on Counts 1, 27, 29, 31 and 32; all of which relate to waging wars of aggression. He was found not guilty on Counts 54 & 55, which relate to war crimes. Accordingly, the article text and categorisation which states he was convicted of war crimes is incorrect.

message: This is a fine article, with a picture, and good prose details of the life of Rear Admiral Yamaguchi. I gather, from a cursory examination of the article, that the vast majority of what needs to be said is covered; nevertheless, for this short an article, I feel I must give it no higher than a Start-class assessment.

thread_title:  WP:MilHist Assessment 

message: Since Admiral Yamaguchi survived the American attack on Hiryu and could have left the ship before it was sunk by the IJN I think it would be more accurate to say that he chose to commit suicide. To have "died in action" he would have to had killed during the American attack or due to circumstances beyond his control as a result of it (trapped below decks, for example).

thread_title:  Died in Action? 

message: Where is the source for this rather surreal conversation between Yamaguchi and Kaku? I understand the Bushido ethic of serenity in the face of death, but according to this article the conversation happened while Yamaguchi was still ordering his crew to abandon ship? I won't say it's an outright fabrication (and have no problem withdrawing complaints if sources can be found) but it feels a bit staged; how comrades want to see a fallen hero versus what actually happened.

https://blog.goo.ne.jp/hanada1954/e/88f985aadef2952432c671061ee78e76 (陸軍派閥一覧表)
Terauchi actually was not aligned with the Kodoha faction, but with a faction that sympathizes with Kazushige Ugaki, the Governor-General of Korea from June 17, 1931 – August 5, 1936. In fact, there are sources suggest that he initiate a purge against the remaining Kodoha faction members during his time as interim Army Minister, including the Japanese Wiki.
: Agree that this is what the best scholarly sources seem to say. This and this may be useful, though the later is rather dated and gives Terauchi's personal name as Juichi. The source claiming alignment with the Kodoha faction (Harries) is a popular history that may not be entirely reliable -- assuming it is being correctly cited here; I have a copy at home I can check this evening. Regardless, if it is true Terauchi purged the Kodoha, that is something that definitely should be mentioned here.--Kent G. Budge (talk) 14:15, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Hisakazu Tanaka

message: Just because Hisakazu may be a correct transliteration doesn't mean Hisaichi is a mistaken one, which would suggest that someone tried to do a correct transliteration and made an error, when in fact it could be just another form of the name or an alternative transliteration (maybe irregular but deliberately chosen rather than "mistaken").

message: Clean-up needed. The introduction includes the kanji and birth-death dates, which is good, but little else. He was a soldier and a politician; alright, but why is he important or notable or interesting? Why do we know of him? Second, the military career section is just a string of dates and posts. Convert this into a prose paragraph and discuss, in full prose sentences, the actual battles he fought in or political events during his life. A string of posts and dates is ugly, confusing to look at, and all but meaningless to the average reader.

message: Hi - I just posted the following but it was immediately taken down by a moderator and it was suggested that I first gauge opinion among page users as to whether they thought this contribution was OK. "The first game of poohsticks as described in Chapter 6 of AA Milne’s “The House at Pooh Corner”A. A. Milne. (1928) The House at Pooh Corner, London: Methuen. . featured Pooh Bear as the solitary player. He correctly predicted which of two sticks would emerge the winner 36 times in 64 races. A statistical analysis of this score carried out in 2012 showed this was well within the realms of chance performance." I posted this at the end of the section considering whether strategies can help poohsticks players and feel that it adds something to the debate. Please could I have some opinions on whether you think this is appropriate or how I should improve the post so that it is so? Many thanks.
