Miyajima, Hiroshima
Hi Bckat,

I noticed that you've edited the article Miyajima, Hiroshima. You might want to note that that article is about a defunct town. Wikipedia has an article about the island popularly called "Miyajima" at Itsukushima. There's also an article about the city that resulted from the merger of the old town of Miyajima. That article is Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. Rather than adding material to the dead-end article about the former town, you might add it to either the island or the new city for a broader readership. (But there's nothing actually wrong with adding it to the article on the historical town.)

Best regards,

 * I'm not comfortable with the new name yet, as you can see by my use of the phrase "Miyajima Island," which to a bilingual ear sounds so wrong. As long as it's not bothering anyone terribly, I think I'll just leave the photos there for now. Bckat
