Hello, I'm Star Mississippi. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Himeji Castle have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

 * Readers on HImeji Castle will benefit from external links like the ones currently there. Adding the vast compendium of Japan Castles can only contribute to better knowledge of the subject. Therefore it fits the Wikipedian purpose and should be restored. Gpwitteveen (talk) 20:26, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No, it shouldn't. There's no evidence it's a reliable source. Please read WP:ELNO Star   Mississippi  00:06, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * As you wish. But J-Castle has spent decades on his database and fills details and images from site visits. Good old empirical knowledge. Gpwitteveen (talk) 16:12, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * None of which makes it remotely reliable source. WP:SELFPUB Star   Mississippi  23:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
