Talk:Princess Tsuguko of Takamado

Your removing of my citations
hello, you repeatedly removed my citations in a article of a member of Japanese Imperial Family. Princess Tsuguko of Takamado.

Wasn't sure what to do with your removing : "remove an article that requires tautologically referencing of the former version of this article" as I'm not sure what you mean.

I cited News articles from several news sites like Guardian Unlimited and Forbes magazine. If you can explain a bit more what you mean, I can adjust necessary citations as to WP principles.

The "explicit sexual interests" business
This is the passage that was repeatedly erased:
 * On 1 February 2007, the Japanese tabloid magazine "Shukan Bunshun" reported that Princess Tsuguko had created a profile for herself on a Japanese social network service site using an alias including her explicit sexual interests.


 * This personal information is in contrast with the public image of other Japanese imperial house members, whose private lives are hidden behind a veil commonly known as the chrysanthemum taboo.


 * Although not reported by many media sources in Japan, this incident was reported by some Chinese newspapers.

There is one English-language source that discusses this, but it's a personal blog and just quotes from the Japanese media reports. It does mention, though, that Princess Tsuguko is interested in hip-hop and has apparently has perfomed at hip-hop events with a group of friends.

By the way, the Imperial Household Agency website says that she "has finished her period of study at the University of Edinburgh" and is back in Japan. Another page says "2004-2008 Studied abroad at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, U.K." This fits with a four year Scottsh degree, but the IHA doesn't explicitly state that she's graduated. (The Japanese part of the IHA website might be clearer - I've looked at it through Google Translate and it has much more material than the English site.)

What this page really needs is an editor who speaks Japanese and can check up on the original sources.--GagHalfrunt (talk) 17:52, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Obviously, we need reliable secondary sources for this kind of material. I don't think we need to track down a way to put the subject's alleged sexual interests in the article. Darkspots (talk) 19:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)




 * Now even mainstream japanese press reports that she is lustful:

 * そういった意味では、日本の皇室もスキャンダルの対象となったといえるかもしれない. 過去には高円宮家の長女・承子さま（34才）がミクシィに2人の男性からナンパされたことや、ヤモリの刺青を入れたい気持ちなどを明かされたとされた時は、「奔放すぎるプリンセス」などと評されたものの、大きなバッシングには至らなかった.
 * Translation: "In the past, when Prince Takamado's eldest daughter, Princess Tsuguko/Chengko (aged 34), was said to have revealed on Mixi that she had been picked up by two men and that she wanted to get a tattoo of a gecko, she was described as an over-indulgent princess, but it did not lead to a major bashing" [i.e. compared to what Princess Mako of Akishino and her commoner groom Kei Komuro currently receive]. 188.143.7.215 (talk) 14:00, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
