List of   National Treasures of Japan  (residences)

 * Nominator(s): bamse     (talk) 10:38, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

This     is another list of the series of lists of National    Treasures of Japan. It uses the same structure  as   the already featured castle,     shrine,      painting      and sculpture    lists. I tried to incorporate   comments from previous FLCs. bamse  (talk) 10:38, 22 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support my concerns (very patiently)  addressed. The Rambling Man   (talk) 08:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I  added a picture to the lead section as you suggested. There are not  many  pictures of national treasure residences available so I went with  a  historic painting which not only shows the style of the building  (richly  decorated walls) but also its use as a reception room. If you  think it  is too confusing (being a depiction of a historical event) as  an intro  picture for this list article, I could offer as alternatives: File:Nijojo-roka-tenjo2.jpg or File:Nijo Castle.jpg though the latter already appears   in the treasure table. bamse   (talk) 09:33, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Support. I've reviewed a few of these lists in the past, and see none of the problems that I have previously encountered. The notes are comprehensive and useful, the lead is engaging, and by the time I reach the table I fully understand the situations with Nijō Castle and Akasaka Palace. A very informative piece of work. WFCforLife (talk) 04:17, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Comments from Truco
 * General
 * Everything checks out with the tools in the toolbox.
 * Lead
 * Its outstanding the way it is, and an interesting lead. The only thing missing IMO would be like an overall count of the structures (not specific, but overall). In addition to a statement about the first overall listed structure.
 * Thanks. Just to clarify: do you mean the total number of national treasures or the total number of structures (which is larger)? bamse (talk) 15:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Statistics
 * The compound with most National Treasures of the residential building category is Nishi Hongan-ji with three structures.-- comma before with
 * Added comma. bamse (talk) 15:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there a way to place the third table (the one located underneath the others) beside the other two?
 * Table placement depends strongly on the browser (and screen resolution). To make it look perfect for all possible browsers and resolutions is virtually impossible. Unless it is a big issue, I'd leave it as is. Doesn't look bad on my screen. bamse (talk) 15:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Usage
 * Why not Key?
 * Because it also explains how sorting works. Don't feel strongly about it, so if you think "key" is better, I could change it. Other FL national treasure lists have "Usage" so far. bamse (talk) 15:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * List
 * I would review the list because some statements in the remarks section have periods but aren't necessarily sentences and are just incomplete statements, such as 12.7 m × 13.7 m (42 ft × 45 ft), tsumairi style entrance.
 * Went through the whole column and hopefully fixed all such occurences. bamse (talk) 15:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * When I sort by date, is it supposed to jump from 1618 to 1605, and vice versa?
 * Not sure, I understand the problem. If you sort by date, the rows are ordered by date. If you click again on the arrow symbol the ordering is reversed (if it was ordered from old->young it will be ordered from young->old). bamse (talk) 15:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Notes
 * What does The attached room and the connecting corridor between shiroshoin and kuroshoin are included in the nomination. (nomination) refer to?-- T ru  c o   503 03:21, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Changed "The attached..." -> "An attached...". "Nomination" refers to the National Treasure "Ninomaru Palace". Would "designation" be more appropriate? bamse (talk) 15:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to review. I fixed some of the issues you mentioned and asked for clarification of some others. I'll check for incorrect periods in the remarks column now. bamse (talk) 15:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
