Should this be renamed to 2018 Japan floods and mudflows? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 21:39, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Victims in "UNKNOWN" ?
I can see the current list of casualities in the Japanese statal broadcast website NHK News Web, and I have some updates from statal Japanese NHK News Web, as of July 16th: (source: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20180716/k10011535501000.html?utm_int=word_contents_list-items_001&word_result=%E8%B1%AA%E9%9B%A8)  Hiroshima 101 dead, 13 still missing Okayama 61 dead, 3 still missing Osaka 0 dead, 1 still missing Fukuoka 3 dead, 0 missing (the list here mentions 4 dead, but the NHK list mentions only 3) The other numbers do match, so: Total: 211 dead, 20 still missing (without the 9 dead in "unknown")  Can you please explain where exactly did you get this number of 9 dead in "unknown"? In Japanese statal NHK News Web, I cannot see these 9 dead in "unknown", but the Japanese government seems to count them, because around noon, when the NHK count was still at 210, the government announced 219 dead ... maybe they read Wikipedia?? ;-) Allgaeuer (talk) 16:34, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

@GianLuigi02: The information in the victims list is referenced to the Yomiuri Online article from July 14th, and now I have checked it and also in that article there are no "9 dead in unknown"! The total there is "200 dead, 48 missing". You have falsified the information given in Yomiuri Shimbun's list without giving it a new reference. Of course the numbers change several times a day, growing slowly. And the counting of direct fatalities and the counting of direct plus indirect fatalities also differs. Adding numbers from one source to the count in another source as "unknown" is nonsense. In Japan there is no "unknown" prefecture - every dead and every missing is clearly accounted for in the corresponding prefecture. Obviously you added the line because You don't know ... I suggest you undo this. Allgaeuer (talk) 01:18, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
