Talk:Shōwa Restoration

The title is based on an incorrect piece of history: the Showa period began in 1926. Charles Matthews 14:09, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Kita Ikki was not a soldier, as far as I know. Charles Matthews 16:52, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is "the encyclopedia anyone can edit", as you know. Why don't you clean it up yourself? -- Mkill 17:21, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Use of talk pages is, for example, to document queries. I'm not so sure of my ground that I want to 'be bold', here. Our Kita Ikki article says nothing to indictate that he was a military man. Since that's my main source, I will be more tentative than in some cases. Charles Matthews 17:33, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Ok, I tried to get some information from Japanese Wikipedia. It looks like this guy really was more of an intellectual (思想家 as the ja:WP puts it), military is not mentioned. As far as I get it, he was a student hanging around in revolutionary circles. Since almost every fact in the original Showa Restoration article was messed up, I'm not surprised the user was wrong on the military part, too. -- Mkill 00:44, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Lead sentence needs a noun
The lead sentence is currently The Shōwa Restoration (昭和維新 shōwaishin) was promoted by Japanese author Kita Ikki, with the goal of restoring power to the newly enthroned Japanese Emperor Hirohito and abolishing the liberal Taishō democracy. While this is good, it leaves open the question of what the Showa Restoration actually is. Is it an idea? A movement? A philosophy? Something else? Suggest we look at the referenced sources and try to work a noun in there. - Ryk72 talk 05:47, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
