Feedback on Project Proposal
This looks good, and the sources are solid. One thing that might be fun for you as part of this project is to look for (or create) public domain images that could be added to the article. Another part of the article that could be expanded is the "In popular culture" section. Here you would just need to find examples and cite them (so you wouldn't necessarily need to find an academic article or book). Does this yokai appear in the Yokai Watch franchise? Your plan sounds good, but you don't have to focus JUST on the historical background. Adding information or images on contemporary Nurikabe (or its derivatives) is also valuable.

Your Intro/Description and Mythology sections feel very well written and I can only think to maybe add what would motivate/why it is believed that some nurikabe could have been caused by Tanuki. Looking at the pre-existing article, a few more pictures could be included to help readers be able to visualize what the Japanese visualize when they think of nurikabe, as well as maybe some pictures of nurikabe as they appear in popular culture media.Metal Linx (talk) 21:06, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Your edits are solid and well sourced. I do agree with removing the Snorlax portion if you are unable to find a reliable source for the information. I also agree that an explanation for why tanuki no nurikabe is attributed to tanuki would be useful.

Great work!

I concur with your classmates' suggestions. Adding images would be particularly valuable, but I understand it can be difficult to find ones with no copyright protection. That said, there are a few on the Japanese wikipedia article (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A1%97%E5%A3%81) that you could insert into the English article, including one of a bronze statue of Mizuki's Nurikabe character.
