Welcome to WikiProject Japan, a WikiProject set up to better organize and present information in all articles related to Japan. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of interested Wikipedians to improve all Japan-related articles in order to make Wikipedia an excellent resource for Japan-related information for all who visit. If you would like to help, please sign up on the participants page and see the to-do list below for ideas of where to start. There's plenty of work to go around!

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

[edit] Scope and goals

This project is designed to help those interested in improving all of the Japan-related articles on Wikipedia to find a particular area in which they are interested in working. As "Japan" is a broad subject, there are many taskforces and collaborations in which you can participate. We want to:

  1. Allow people to more easily locate groups working on Japan-related WikiProjects
  2. Create a body of articles that accurately depicts the history and culture of Japan and the Japanese
  3. Expand the number of articles regarding Japan and Japanese subjects
  4. Further #3 by expanding all Japan-related article stubs
  5. Highlight Japan's relationship and contributions to the rest of the world
  6. Properly source all Japan-related articles, preferably using the <ref> element and the {{cite}} series of templates
  7. Standardize the style and format of articles on Japan or Japanese subjects; and
  8. Standardize the use of Japanese-language terms, names, and translations into English across all related articles, bringing them in line with the WP:MOS-JA.
  9. Patrol recent changes to existing Japan-related articles for vandalism and poor-quality edits, and correct them to maintain the articles.

[edit] Peer review requests

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Peer review

[edit] Former FAC

These are mostly well written articles that need a little improvement in order to become FA quality.

[edit] Projects

These are big tasks that require a lot of work from a lot of people helping out in order to improve something. Feel free to jump right in and help with any of them. We always welcome more help!

  1. Rick Block requests help updating articles due to Gappei. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Gappei.
  2. LordAmeth would like to enlist everyone's help in converting all articles, both in title and in context, to properly macronned form.
  3. Kansai region compared to the Tohoku region, Kansai related articles are systematically sub-standard and have articles of towns and cities missing.
  4. Dozens of pages shown at Special:Allpages/Japan and Special:Allpages/Japanese lack WikiProject Japan tags and assessments.
  5. Category:Rangaku is woefully underpopulated. Many existing articles which belong in this category are not so categorized. Please go to various rangaku-related articles and add the category.
  6. Bamse is trying to improve the coverage of National Treasures of Japan. See User:Bamse/National Treasures of Japan.

[edit] Cleanup tasks

These are anything smaller or more specific than projects and anything that individuals can work on.

Additionally, please review the following for work which may need doing:

  1. Various articles on historic people, especially the new articles
  2. Omoiyari Yosan This article is in Engrish, I would clean it up myself if I knew what it supposedly is saying.
  3. List of governors of Japan needs to be updated.
  4. Kyoto Imperial Palace is in sad shape. Needs expansion, more cited references.
  5. expand Girls with guns to be inclusive of Japanese media as well-currently written from a single perspective, while Japan has a long tradition of such.
  6. Hase-dera is in need of expansion. It's a miniscule stub for a rather major temple.

You can also work on files listed on the Cleanup listing page as well as articles in Category:Japan articles needing attention. Your help with these is appreciated as the list of things to do is very long.

[edit] Requested moves and merges

The following are from WP:RM:


[edit] Disambiguation

The following may be from toolserver reports at WP:DPL, but any page needing disambiguation work and link correcting can be listed here.

[edit] Pages marked for deletion

Japan-related articles for deletion are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Japan. Please go and express your opinion regarding any articles listed there.

[edit] Stubs

You can find a list of all Japan-related stub categories on the Category talk:Japan stubs page. All of the articles on the main Category:Japan stubs page need to be sorted into these more specific categories while they are stubs (last performed on 9 June 2009). Of course, you can also expand the stubs in such a way as to make them no longer stubs. If none of the existing stubs apply, please use {{Japan-stub}}.

If you want to make a new stub for a particular category, please note that all stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will probably be deleted. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on creating stub templates and categories.

[edit] Requests

The articles on these pages need to be created (or pointed to existing articles under slightly different names). You can also add requests to one of these pages. If you aren't sure which page to add your request to, please ask on the talk page.

[edit] Requested articles

[edit] Requested photographs in Japan

[edit] Translation requests

[edit] Romanization requests

Hepburn romanization needed:

[edit] Proposed new or updated articles

List any Japan-related articles on which you are working that aren't quite ready for prime time, or proposed replacements or updates for currently existing articles. This will allow an informal peer review of sorts by anyone interested in the particular topic, thereby helping Wikipedia to become better.r


[edit] Article assessment

Any member of WikiProject Japan may assess Japan-related articles by following the guidelines here. If you aren't sure about an article, ask about it on the assessment talk page.

[edit] Top importance articles → FA

Please consider working on the Top importance articles in the chart below in order to bring them to Featured Article quality. The chart shows the current status of these articles (listed alphabetically by how close they are to reaching FA status), and there's plenty to work on.

Please jump right in and help us out by indicating in the chart which ones you want to work on (and then working on them, of course).
