[edit] Japanese alphabet

Information about the japanese character sets (I'm uncertain if calling them alphabets is correct) belongs to a broader article about the japanese language. The title is inadequate and the descriptions of katakana and kanji are incorrect. Fbergo 03:24, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Japanese writing system] Fg2 03:37, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect per Fg2. There's nothing here that needs to be merged. What's incorrect about those descriptions? They're incomplete, but relatively accurate. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 04:33, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect without merging per Fg2. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 05:36, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Android79: katakana is used for emphasis and onomatopoeic sounds, not just for foreign names. The (e.g. your name) is discriminatory and inaccurate: if you are japanese, your name is most likely not written in katakana, and wikipedia should be written for all. And kanji represent ideas; Kanji, either alone or in groups, form entire words. I agree with the proposed redirection by Fg2. Fbergo 13:07, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the clarification. I've never studied Kanji, so that didn't jump out at me. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 13:17, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
