Siege of Port Arthur
I feel that your major rewrite of Siege of Port Arthur in August 2006 too heavily borrows from battlefieldanomalies.com. I have blanked the latest version and restored the version from 25 July 2006 with some edits. I have temporarily moved the your version to User:MChew/Siege of Port Arthur -- Petri Krohn 23:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it now passes the originality test, feel free to move the material to Siege of Port Arthur. I made a small change to your version; I moved Graham J. Morrises text to "References". -- Petri Krohn 14:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the excellent article :-) -- Petri Krohn 22:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Re Police services of the Empire of Japan
Not machine translation. I can tell you a fuller story if you require. Also, minor edit is not suitable for large cuts. Charles Matthews 16:47, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:Japanese people from X Prefecture
That's a good point, regarding the province/domain and present-day prefecture. Since there are many provinces which span multiple prefectures (and vice versa), maybe it makes sense to make a new split at Category:Japanese people, and create Category:Japanese people by historical province or something like that. Then, people could be sorted by their historical province (Satsuma) and their present-day prefecture (Kagoshima), and we wouldn't have any conflict with the categorization guidelines. What do you think about that? Is there any reason why Category:People from Satsuma Domain needs to be a subcategory of Category:People from Kagoshima Prefecture?

As for wading through cities to find someone, I couldn't agree more. My proposal here is a bandaid; but, if there was a suggestion to eliminate the local city/town categories, I would support it in a heartbeat. (not just people, but structures, stations, etc). I don't think it stands much of a chance, which is why I haven't proposed it myself. But, if it reached consensus, then fixing things would not take long for a bot.

I initiated a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan if you would like to make any comments. Neier 09:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Toranomon Incident
Hi, you must have known me.

As of Toranomon Incident, you had better describe about the father of Namba Daisuke after the incident. That is the way of Japanese aristocracy at that time.--Panpulha 10:47, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
