I changed
the San'yo Shinkansen links because most of the time it is written as Sanyo Shinkansen. E.g. google returns 1,230 matches for the term "Sanyo Shinkansen" while "San'yo Shinkansen" returns only 228 as of 2003-05-16 UTC. cheers, --synthetik 17:28 16 May 2003 (UTC)

Yes, "Sanyo" looks commoner than "San'yo", but Hepburn-ize doesn't mean killing apostrophes. They are necessary for telling &#12373;&#12435;&#12424;&#12358; from &#12373;&#12395;&#12423;&#12358;. Of course, there is no such term in Japanese, so that apostrophe is useless for Japanese-speaking people. But I think apostrophes should be denoted at least once. --Nanshu 02:54 17 May 2003 (UTC)


 * I second Nanshu. The title should be named properly. Besides, we of course provide a redirect to it. -- Taku 04:51 17 May 2003 (UTC)


 * I think the apostrophe belongs behind the kanji within the parnthesis, where the lit. romaji is usually placed. If we can agree on that I think we should quickly add a blurb to the Naming conventions (Japanese) to make sure people like me don't go all over the place and make changes :). I however I'm against the use of the apostrophe in the title as I already stated the common way to write it is "Sanyo", and that is IIRC the way it is labeled on the trainstations itself. Just my 2 yen. cheers, --synthetik 11:51 17 May 2003 (UTC)

Is the conversion incorrect on 300km/h, it says 190mph but shouldn't it be 186mph? Chingster (talk) 16:12, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
