Translation to confirm gender identity

Hey all! An IP address added to Nanae Chrono that they are FTM transgender citing Chrono's Twitter bio. Can any fluent Japanese speakers confirm that this source does indeed confirm this because it seems like an important detail if it does decisively confirm this. Link20XX (talk) 23:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, looks like it. It says FTMゲイタチ. FTM is the same as in English. ゲイ is gay, タチ is the same as 攻め, which is what's traditionally thought of as the male role, the pursuer, and similar to "top" in English, too. Erynamrod (talk) 11:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I used The Japan times as a source for the recent accusations and his suspension of activities. The JP wiki has more detail with JP sources. Would welcome more sources and any expansions or copy-editing to what I added. Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Official greenhouse gas statistics now out

Hello from Wikipedia:WikiProject Climate change,

A lot of countries have just sent their homework to the UNFCCC - too many for us to check them all.

Perhaps you would like to update Climate change in Japan from

P.S. If you are really keen we would also appreciate your opinion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Greenhouse_gas_emissions#Very_confusing_layout._Often_ends_up_effectively_duplicating_itself

Hi, I'm looking for sources to improve Bingo Stadium. If anyone could suggest anything, I'd be grateful. JMWt (talk) 17:38, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes the corresponding article on Japanese Wikipedia has sources that can be used but in this case there's only a primary source being cited. That source, though, does have to do with the naming rights of the stadium, and it is from January 2022. I doubt there's going to be much if anything about this stadium written in English in secondary reliable sources written (e.g.

Korean or Japanese nationality

I'm working on several articles on celebrities in Japan, and I'm running into issues with determining the nationalities of several of them, particularly the ones of Korean descent. This article from Toyo Keizai talks about several "Koreans living in Japan", but should they be listed as Korean or Japanese (i.e. Hanae Kan)? lullabying (talk) 01:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no reliable sources to confirm a particular nationality, nationality shouldn't be listed at all. The Japanese Wikipedia says that Hanae Kan's nationality is South Korean, but gives no direct citation. However, the Tōyō Keizai article says 在日韓国人女性, and in this formulation kankokujin is commonly a reference to nationality. This article says that she is a citizen of South Korea.

Accenture at Japanese Wikipedia

On behalf of Accenture, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I have submitted a series of edit requests to bring the company's entry at Japanese Wikipedia up to date here. I've struggled to get feedback on a few of the suggestions, if any editors here are interested in taking a look.

Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 16:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
