Japan To-do:

The Yosakoi photo has been removed from the Yosakoi Festival page, and from the Japanese Wikipedia (apparently by request). Don't know whether it's appropriate to keep it here or not. Comments welcome. Fg2 10:03, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

Was it a copyvio? — Gwalla | Talk 22:42, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
A photograph was changed, and it got it the thing which was on the item of Yosakoi Festival .MASA 04:47, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
It restored the photograph of Yosakoi Festival because it seemed that the explanation of "Though the problem of the portrait rights seems that be by Japanese edition, that doesn't occur in English edition." could hang by the notebook of the clause of Yosakoi Festival . I am sorry to trouble it.MASA 04:57, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
That first picture of a Bon singer is pretty badly colored, and doesn't show anything that's not in the second that I can see. I'm removing it. --Darksasami 01:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Nice PD photo of candle lit lanterns in the Sasebo River here

[edit] Copyediting?

This article may need some copyediting. However, if any users, notably those who have edited on wikipedia in large scale, or admins, who think that copyediting is not needed, he or she is free to remove it. Users who have just came to wikipedia, or annoymous users who remove the copyedit tag will be reverted, for the sake of trust and vandalism scant.Mr Tan 05:42, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Celebrations outside Japan

I added the section and moved the Festival in China part to this section because we have Bon Odori in Malaysia as well. Hopefully others can expand that - Kriskhaira 17:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs No explenation?

I can't believe how many times the author uses that phrase. 216.186.51.2 15:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yagura

Yagura used to redirect here, as a reference to the bandstands erected for the festival and as a result of the absence of any article describing the term in a wider context. I have just begun that article, though it's fairly barebones at the moment. It no longer redirects here, but there is a mention and a link here. Just thought I should let people know.

[edit] Hidden Fortress?

Is this the festival that's featured in Kurosawa's film Hidden Fortress? Ninquerinquar 23:37, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
