See Sanji Iwabuchi and Naomasa Sakonju - both are WW2 Japanese war criminals, and the infobox photograph on both articles look awfully similar, pretty much the same dare I say. The photographs are separate files hosted on Commons with different file descriptions. Could it be that these two people are identical twins manufactured from some super secret Japanese laboratory that nobody's heard about? Or, has something gone wrong, and completely unnoticed since 2012? Is anyone able to confirm exactly who is who? Someone also better inform the Japanese Wikipedia, because it looks like they're in the same boat as well: ja:左近允尚正, ja:岩淵三次. --benlisquareT•C•E 18:33, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
There is a new(ish..) series of SVG locator maps for the prefectures of Japan created by the Commons user TUBS. Compared to the currently used maps, they demarcate the prefectural borders more clearly and are richer in details. I think the new maps are of superior quality, and using them would improve the relative articles.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 01:06, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

When I enter "politics=yes" into this project's template, I notice that it registers on the bottom of the banner that the article is supported by the task force, yet it doesn't appear at the top of the banner like other task forces do. Is this intentional or does the template need to be fixed?
I noticed this following my adding the task force to Antonio Inoki and Atsushi Onita. Then I noticed that you have Onita assessed as mid importance, yet you have Inoki assessed as low importance. I'm not that familiar with this project's "ways", but that makes no sense to me whatsoever. Making a comparison between the two, Inoki had long standing as a main eventer in the ring and as head of one of the leading pro wrestling companies in the entire world, a company which was decades ahead of WWE in many respects. Then there's his political career, which I'm sure some folks would like us to forget about due to his association with the likes of Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il. OTOH, Onita wasn't anywhere near as big a wrestling star, and ran a company which was mostly notorious for the types of matches it promoted, yet from what I can tell ran scattered shows at Korakuen Hall and outdoor baseball stadiums rather than a full time schedule. I could be wrong on that latter point, as I didn't do extensive research. Was his political career really that significant? I didn't see much in the article beyond mention of a sex scandal.

Could we have a few more eyes on the Kyushu University article, please? An editor keeps adding claims of war atrocities (vivisection on American servicemen) purportedly conducted at the university during World War II. It may well be true, but without any solid sources to back this up, I can't see how this can be justified in the lead section of the article. --DAJF (talk) 13:59, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
The list List of junior colleges in Japan seems rather indiscriminate, and duplicates Category:Japanese junior colleges. Comments on disposition of the article are welcome at Talk:List of junior colleges in Japan#Better as a category? Cnilep (talk) 05:01, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey all. Is there a template to welcome new editors, and an invitation to participate in WP Japan, à la template Excellent New Editor's Barnstar? Given the overall decline in the number of Wikipedia editors, and the need for participants in this project, it might be worth creating something like this.

Can someone please tell me what this page is about? Is kaitaname the name for coal candy in Japan? Thanks. Candleabracadabra (talk) 20:46, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
