Feedback on possible topics
I agree with the list of three you're leaning toward. The other two articles certainly need improvement in some ways, but they could be a bit unwieldy to work on. I particularly like the idea of working on the Japanese Variety Shows article. I can't believe how little content is there compared to how big a topic that is within Japanese pop culture!

This is a good start, and I don't mind if you work on multiple articles if that's what you'd like to do. However, I think that if you want to focus only on the Variety Shows article, you'll find enough material to work with (this is probably true of the Maid Cafe article as well). I sent you an email with a few articles that may be useful (found by searching the Bibliography of Asian Studies). But also, if you use Japanese Wikipedia or other online sources (possibly in Japanese) to compile a few examples of important variety shows (either historically or on TV now), that could be a very important contribution to the article that would make up for the lack of a source or two.

This Japanese article has what seems to be an exhaustive list of variety shows: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E3%81%AE%E3%83%90%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A8%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E7%95%AA%E7%B5%84%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7

If there are specific ones you're interested in, you could click through on Japanese Wikipedia and see what kind of sources the articles on specific shows are citing (if you are able to read some Japanese).

The point is, if you are able to add a lot of content from a limited number of sources, that's fine as long as the quality of your contribution is good, so I wouldn't worry about working on two articles unless you really want to do both. Ctextor at uofu (talk) 22:16, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

I agree with your classmates that this is coming along. I'm not sure if a list of shows useful for studying Japanese is appropriate for a Wikipedia article--have you asked the Talk page? Also, be careful of tone in the text of your History section. It can't sound like you're promoting Japanese variety shows (phrases like "You have..." "to choose from"). Remember that the audience is people who want to know something about variety shows, not necessarily people who are interested in watching them. Ctextor at uofu (talk) 15:03, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
