Talk:List of provinces of ancient Japan

The chinese characters labelling the province names on this map do not correspond to the kanji as used in Japan, rather they are Simplified Chinese characters used in mainland China. Perhaps a map labelled in Japanese & English would be more appropriate. Phonemonkey 13:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I replaced the image with one apparently put together by commons:User:wikiwikiyarou for the Japanese WP. An SVG would still be preferable, but I’ve no problem settling for “slightly better” in the meantime. -BRPXQZME (talk) 08:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Move or merge?

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Not enough discussion about the pros and cons of moving vs merging. Perhaps a different venue like a WikiProject talk may help? Move/merge seems to be okay/unopposed per RM result here. (non-admin closure) — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 18:10, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

List of provinces of ancient Japan → List of provinces of Japan – to match the parent article, Provinces of Japan. The provinces existed until the 19th century and were never abolished. Alternatively, merge this article with Provinces of Japan as neither is very long. —  AjaxSmack  23:26, 4 August 2016 (UTC) --'Unable to close I think. Someone should probably chime in on the two options — Andy W.  ( talk  ·' ctb) 02:06, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Why closed?
I'm sorry, but I don't understand why the "Move or Merge" discussion was closed or who thinks they have the authority to do so. On the face of it, it seems obvious to me that Provinces of Japan is a stub. I don't agree with the process, and I don't agree with the result. G41rn8 (talk) 19:05, 14 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Templates are still up for the merge, which I support on the grounds that the discuss and the list are best presented to readers in one place. There seems to be no opposition; I agree that the discussion was closed very quickly, with an ambiguous conclusion, so don't see that there is any objection to merging.
