I find your intructions too difficult to use. I value your enterprise highly and use it often, but am distrubed by the number and nature of errors I find. I(t is because Wikipedia is so trusted that these are dangerous to researchers. I should like to correct on the List of Japanese secret agents page the claim that Marcelle Tao Kitazawa was head of anything. It is true that this claim appears in a Secret Service retor in Australia. However, the fact that 'Marcelle' is a female name, while'Tao' is a male name, shoud have raised doubts about its veracity. Marcelle TAKAKO Kitazawa was a flibbertigibbet teenager. The agent was her mother, Berthe Rosalie Kitazawa, daughter of a Japanese mother and French father (Fouque), and married to a Japanese, Eijo Kitazawa. She was an agent for the Japanese, but more for the acquisition of New Caledonian nickel ore than for espionage. Her son, Georges, had apparently served in the Japanese army and was a trained wireless telegraphist, whose activities aroused great suspicion. Another daughter, Kathleen Kazuko, was married to a Frecnh citizen, Jacques Mouren, to enabled them to acquire certain trade privileges not available to foreigners. The whole Kitazawa family was interned in Australia during the war. Second correction: the 'tokumu kikan' was not named after its commanding officer. The organisation extended from Mongolia to Indonesia, far beyond the control of a single officer. I would be willing to contribute to Wikipedia in my specialty field, which relates to Japanese and German (particularly Nazi) activities in Australia during the period mainly 1930-1942. But I need a simpler, clearer way to get to the right address.
