Accuracy?[edit]

This is one of a series of inadequately referenced articles on Japanese mines created by a single user. The source referenced only mentions Sado once (p. 293), and that seems to be for the Sado Gold Mine (see jp:佐渡金山), which is not in Hokkaido, but on Sado, Niigata. It also says nothing about it being one of the largest silver mines in the world. I can find no reference to a Sado silver mine in Hokkaido. Michitaro (talk) 09:51, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sado, Niigata#Gold mine: I think that you are right, the Russian paper messed things up. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 04:52, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking this and adding a reference. Can the article still say it is/was "one of the largest silver mines in Japan and in the world"? Neither of the references says that. Michitaro (talk) 05:48, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted world, there should no other mine from 1601 until 1974 ;) --Chris.urs-o (talk) 06:15, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
