<p>Good day Japanese Wikipedian's. On the <a href="/wiki/Tsunami" title="Tsunami">tsunami</a> page, they have pluralized the word tsunami as 'tsunamis'. Now according to Wiki's own rules about pluralization of Japanese loan words in English, Japanese words do not carry a 's'. See reference <a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_plural">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_plural</a>. Many tsunami contributors think tsunami is the most appropriate. What does this group think? </p> <dl><dd>Probably to anybody who knows Japanese, <i>tsunamis</i> looks dumb (as does "tsunami wave" since the "nami" part of tsunami means "wave"). But unfortunately that doesn't necessarily mean it's incorrect now that it has been coopted and bastardized into English. I can buy the argument that tsunamis is a correct English word even though it grates on my ears. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Mdchachi&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Mdchachi (page does not exist)">Mdchachi</a>|<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mdchachi" title="User talk:Mdchachi">Talk</a> 22:41, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)</dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>Japanese writing in English use the word "tsunamis", including the <a href="/wiki/Japan_Meteorological_Agency" title="Japan Meteorological Agency">Japan Meteorological Agency</a> (the government agency that does tsunami forecasting) and the <a href="/wiki/Japan_Times" class="mw-redirect" title="Japan Times">Japan Times</a> newspaper.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>Also, the <a href="/wiki/USGS" class="mw-redirect" title="USGS">USGS</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Tsunami_Warning_Center" title="Pacific Tsunami Warning Center">Pacific Tsunami Warning Center</a> and ITIC all use "tsunamis".</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>See discussion and links at <a href="/wiki/Talk:Tsunami#Plural_of_tsunami_is_tsunami.3F" title="Talk:Tsunami">Talk:Tsunami#Plural_of_tsunami_is_tsunami.3F</a> -- <a href="/wiki/User:Curps" title="User:Curps">Curps</a> 09:53, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)</dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Japanese_Governor_of_Taiwan" data-mw-thread-id="h-Japanese_Governor_of_Taiwan"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Japanese_Governor_of_Taiwan"></span>Japanese Governor of Taiwan<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Japanese_Governor_of_Taiwan"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Japanese_Governor_of_Taiwan","replies":[],"uneditableSection":true}}--></div> <p>Dear All, </p><p>I am trying to see if anyone can help us to link the following Taiwab governors to existing pages, and perhaps find out the english name of them for us on the article of <a href="/wiki/Japanese_Governors_of_Taiwan" class="mw-redirect" title="Japanese Governors of Taiwan">Japanese Governors of Taiwan</a>? </p><p>第一任 樺山 資紀  海軍大將。子爵 1895.5.21 1896.6 第二任 桂 太郎 陸軍中將。子爵 1896.6.2 1896.10 第三任 乃木 希典 陸軍中將。男爵 1896.10.14 1898.1 第四任 兒玉 源太郎 陸軍中將。男爵 任內赴遼東半島,投入日俄戰爭 1898.2.26-1906.4 第五任 佐久間左馬太 陸軍大將。子爵 1906.4.15 1915.5 第六任 安東貞夫 陸軍大將。男爵 1915.51 – 1916.6 第七任 明石元二郎 陸軍中將 1916.6 – 1917.11 第八任 田 健治郎 寺內內閣閣員男爵 1919.10.31 – 1923.9 第九任 內田嘉吉 貴族院議員 1923.9.6 – 1924.9 第十任 伊澤多喜男 貴族院議員 1924.9.1 – 1926.7 第十一任 上山滿之進 文人 1926.7.16 – 1928.6 第十二任 川村竹治 貴族院議員 1928.6.16 – 1929.7 第十三任 石塚英藏 貴族院議員 1929.7.30 – 1931.1 第十四任 太田政弘 關東廳長官 1931.1.16 – 1932.3 第十五任 南 弘 貴族院議員 1932.3.2 – 1932.5 第十五任 中山 健藏 文部省次官 1932.5.27 – 1936.9 第十五任 小林 躋造 海軍大將 1936.6 – 1940.11 第十五任 長谷川清 海軍大將 1940.12.16 – 1944.12 第十五任 安藤利吉 陸軍大將 1944.45-2.30 – 1945.10 </p><p>Many thanks!! :) <a href="/wiki/User:Mababa" title="User:Mababa">Mababa</a> 05:58, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC) </p><p>It has been done!!!

Is somebody going to do this? </p><p>I can do it for one prefecture (Shiga), but what do we do with the old city and town links/pages? Do a redirect to the new city page? Or rename the old city page? Or delete it since the city/town no longer exists politically? </p><p>I'm holding off on adding content because of all these mergers last month and this month in Shiga. I'm waiting until new Wiki pages are created for these new cities. <a href="/wiki/User:Photojpn.org" title="User:Photojpn.org">Photojpn.org</a> </p> <dl><dd>I have just started articles <a href="/wiki/Merger_and_dissolution_of_municipalities_of_Japan" class="mw-redirect" title="Merger and dissolution of municipalities of Japan">Merger and dissolution of municipalities of Japan</a> and <a href="/wiki/List_of_dissolved_municipalities_of_Japan" class="mw-redirect" title="List of dissolved municipalities of Japan">List of dissolved municipalities of Japan</a>. Although they are no more than the starting points, they should make a good place to collect this kind of information for both readers and us contributors. As for old municipalities, in principle, we should not delete or redirect them as we have articles about old provinces. But, of course, the tense should be changed into past, and the article should note about merger or dissolution at the first paragraph. See <a href="/wiki/Akitsu,_Hiroshima" title="Akitsu, Hiroshima">Akitsu, Hiroshima</a> for example. -- <a href="/wiki/User:TakuyaMurata" title="User:TakuyaMurata">Taku</a> 04:50, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)</dd></dl> <p>OK, so if there are no objections, I will correct the old municipalities and create new ones for the new cities for Shiga. For <a href="/wiki/Akitsu,_Hiroshima" title="Akitsu, Hiroshima">Akitsu, Hiroshima</a>, it says "the town was dissolved after it was merged into a city of Higashihiroshima" it should read "merged into the city of" (in case you're using a template for all such articles). <a href="/wiki/User:Photojpn.org" title="User:Photojpn.org">Photojpn.org</a> 06:09, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>Oops, you are right.

I edited <a href="/wiki/Iga,_Mie" title="Iga, Mie">Iga, Mie</a> and promoted it to a city (as Phil suggested), keeping the old text and changing the tense (as Taku suggested). And edited all the towns, villages and districts that dissolved to form the new city, changing the tense to past, and mentioning the merger. And modified or removed the category (city, town or village of Mie Prefecture) from each article. And edited the prefecture article, moving Iga from town to city, and removing all the old cities, towns, villages, and districts. I'm looking forward to the day when the final two cities on Honshu, サクラ and さくら, merge to form the city of 桜.

For example Ueno now is in no category. It was at one time a city in Mie. Do we think most people will understand the category to mean "cities currently in Mie" or "cities that have ever been in Mie"? As long as the article text makes it clear that the city no longer exists, I don't see a particular issue with leaving it in the category (even for people who understand the category to mean "cities currently in Mie"). Perhaps we should rename these articles in some fashion (adding "(merged)" or something?) so that when looking at the category listing it's obvious. Another alternative is to create a category like "former municipalities in ...". I think "former cities", "former towns", etc. would be overkill. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Rick_Block" title="User:Rick Block">Rick Block</a> 13:40, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)</dd></dl> <dl><dd>For your infomation, Japanese Wikipedia keep a good track of those mergers. Both on each prefecture article and on a particular article for recent merger. I think they good be good references. Also their German Wikipedia (de) correspondence are good maintained and provide you with romaji names correctly. And (sorry too late) I support the idea to keep articles of desolved municipalities as themselves, not as redirects, but in the past tense. --<a href="/wiki/User:Aphaia" title="User:Aphaia"><span style="color: midnightblue;">Aphaea</span></a><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk;Aphaia&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk;Aphaia (page does not exist)"><span style="color: gold;">*</span></a> 03:44, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)</dd></dl> <p>Yes, there's no problem in finding the merger info at sites like the official Web sites for the prefecture/city. But it is a lot of work to modify everything (as listed above) even for one prefecture. (Almost finished for <a href="/wiki/Shiga" class="mw-redirect" title="Shiga">Shiga</a>. You can also see my preferred format for the merger list under Geography.) So if the prefecture's merger info is not yet listed in the <a href="/wiki/List_of_dissolved_municipalities_of_Japan" class="mw-redirect" title="List of dissolved municipalities of Japan">List of dissolved municipalities of Japan</a>, I guess we can assume it has not been done yet for that prefecture. Looks like we got 36 more to go. I don't think we have to go too far back with the list of mergers. I would place priority on the most recent ones occurring in the past 5 years or so. <a href="/wiki/User:Photojpn.org" title="User:Photojpn.org">Photojpn.org</a> 16:57, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Wards_of_Cities" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wards_of_Cities"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wards_of_Cities"></span>Wards of Cities<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wards_of_Cities"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Wards_of_Cities","replies":[],"uneditableSection":true}}--></div> <p>I put a proposal for unifying the titles of articles on wards of cities at </p><p><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(Japan-related_articles)#Wards_of_Cities" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)">Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)#Wards of Cities</a> and invite comments there. <a href="/wiki/User:Fg2" title="User:Fg2">Fg2</a> 06:35, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Tessaiga/Tetsusaiga,_re-visited" data-mw-thread-id="h-Tessaiga/Tetsusaiga,_re-visited"><span id="Tessaiga.2FTetsusaiga.2C_re-visited"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Tessaiga/Tetsusaiga,_re-visited"></span>Tessaiga/Tetsusaiga, re-visited<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Tessaiga/Tetsusaiga,_re-visited"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Tessaiga\/Tetsusaiga,_re-visited","replies":[],"uneditableSection":true}}--></div> <p>I have proposed that another consideration for the spelling of this sword from the anime <a href="/wiki/InuYasha" class="mw-redirect" title="InuYasha">InuYasha</a> should take place.

Tokyo is probably the most complete prefecture, but can we call it an "ideal prefecture article" with regard to its format, layout, images, and content? Is that how we want the other prefecture articles to look like? I ask the same question for the cities/wards/towns/villages. I haven't seen a template for these lower municipalities. The Japanese Wiki has a template (including infobox) for these articles based on the prefecture template. Do we want to imitate the Japanese wiki's templates?

It should be possible to create a list of articles that aren't marked as stubs (with a custom database query). Perhaps if we had such a list we could pick an exemplary article of each type (I'd include district as well). I think it might be premature to add infoboxes for towns/villages (it's starting to seem unlikely that most of these will ever develop past stubs), but I'd favor doing this for cities.

For example, Tokyo in movies etc. (I did that for businesses with headquarters in Tokyo.) But in prefectures that get less world media attention, and have fewer headquarters, these topics belong in the prefecture article. The article has also grown organically, and could stand some organizing. Also, like most prefecture articles, it's strong on "the capital city" (in this case the most important special wards) and weak on the rest. <a href="/wiki/User:Fg2" title="User:Fg2">Fg2</a> 01:58, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)</dd> <dd>Looking at <a href="/wiki/Kyoto_Prefecture" title="Kyoto Prefecture">Kyoto Prefecture</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nara_Prefecture" title="Nara Prefecture">Nara Prefecture</a>, I like Nara better.
