Talk:Ryukyu independence movement

praise
Good work  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.132.244 (talk) 12:51, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Clean-up
I have come in and done what I can with the information that was already written, and with my own knowledge. I apologize for the heavy imbalance towards historical background, with very little on the movement itself; I know next to nothing about the movement itself, but thought the historical background and context important. Again, I was essentially simply trying to work with what little was presented here.

I hope that my work will prove useful and not counter-productive; if I come across anything about the independence movement, I will be sure to add it, and if anyone else is more interested and more knowledgable than I am on this subject, I encourage you to please take up where I have left off. Thank you. LordAmeth 00:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ryukyu.svg
Image:Ryukyu.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Republic of China and America on Okinawa during World War II
"In 1943, during World War II, the US President asked its ally, the The Republic of China, if it would lay claim to the Ryukyus after the war.“The President then referred to the question of the Ryukyu Islands and enquired more than once whether China would want the Ryukyus. The Generalissimo replied that China would be agreeable to joint occupation of the Ryukyus by China and the United State and, eventually, joint administration by the two countries under the trusteeship of an international organization.”"

Translation needs work
Much of this page seems to have been badly translated from Japanese, and needs work. I could fix a few grammatical errors, but it probably needs a new translation. Hypershock (talk) 16:21, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
