Hi! I'm currently writing a stub on the Tottori Jōhoku High School and wondered if the Education task force had a viable website for student tournaments in Japan ? Mainly for the baseball part, but also sumo. OtharLuin (talk) 12:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a source to this article just to get it sourced but as it stands it's a notability fail. The JP-language article lists a large number of sources but none of the ones I am able to review seems to sustain notability. However, this looks like it was a big-selling album so I'm thinking there must be sources out there for it in Japanese? Anyone know where they might be found? FOARP (talk) 10:29, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely a notable album - it was very successful commercially. The big barrier here that it got released back in 1989, so almost all sources are locked up in old magazines and books. Some of the print sources on the Japanese wiki would be good places to start (some are published works by the band, but I believe some are independent). --Prosperosity (talk) 19:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a

• Proclamation of the Great Doctrine (大教宣布, Taikyou Senpu no mikotonori)
• Great Teaching Institute
  (大教院, Taikyoin)
• Shintō Taikyō (神道大教)

I feel like we can do better with the titles to make all of them consistent, but I'm not sure how.

Currently they are all under their most commonly used names and what Kokugakuin University translates them as on their website. But I think we can do better by putting them all in something consistent such as "Great Doctrine Institute" or "Great Doctrine Shinto".

Thoughts on this? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 07:23, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We use the most common name as used in English-language reliable sources. We shouldn't be trying to change the names unless those reliable sources show it's the most common name. See

Unless there is a strong reason why a particular order should be used, it's not acceptable to try to force one way onto an article, especially if it leads to edit warring. If names in a list were listed alphabetically by surname, they shouldn't be arbitrarily changed to a different order. ···

I'm very sorry to ask you this, but can you translate from Japanese to English the six pages on this site about Giant Baba's childhood. They're about his early life and I've search much to find them. You can write all in my talk page. Moreover, there are also more information about Rikidozan's family and early life that nobody had translate yet: 1, 2, 3. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.181.182.147 (talk) 09:41, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
