how can privitization be a "decade-long political matter in Japan," when "The company was born on April 2, 2003?"

Japan has had a post office for many years. It's only recently become a company. --Taejo 17:18, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Is it true that the Lib Dems use the Post Office as a propaganda tool in rural areas? --Taejo 17:18, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

140B yen is not 1/5 of the Japanese national debt. Should it say trillion?

Might someone be able to add some information on the origin of the "bar-T" symbol. I think it might be a derivation of a katakana "te" from "Tei-shin", but this is just a personal theory. It seems too old to be from "telecommunications", a modern word. Thanks.

Contents 1 Merge postal privatisation bills here? 2 Founded 2003? 3 status on privatization? 4 Please,...? 5 Fair use rationale for Image:Japan post logo.png

[edit] Merge postal privatisation bills here?

Despite the title, Postal privatisation bills deals only with with the Junichiro Koizumi proposal. It is already covered in this article's history section. I do not know the extent of attention this got in Japan, but I doubt it merits an article in its own - a news article, or several, absolutely but this is not Wikinews. I suggest to merge that article here. // habj 16:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

It was a really big political issue. --Apoc2400 12:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Founded 2003?

I dont think so. The latest incarnations and baptisation processes should be in history. Plus, how could it become the World's biggest bank in merely 4 years? Tri400 03:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

See User:Taejo's answer above. — CJewell (talk to me) 11:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] status on privatization?

Given that it's 2/3rds of the way through 2007 - the year privatization is supposed to happen - could anyone update the article with the status of privatization? --moof 08:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

It'll happen on October 1st. We just got something in the mail (in Japanese) about 2 weeks ago. It's also mentioned here. — CJewell (talk to me) 02:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please,...?

It is fascinating that so much effort has been put into this article,... good; however, for someone who had looked for it w/o knowing the agency's precise name, it is hidden.

The various articles that reference the word "postal" are poorly disambiguated, poorly sorted, poorly categorized. These articles should all be simply linked. This is another example of the in-crowd attitude of this website: making everything as difficult to locate as feasible, & therefore, disability-inaccessible, as severely disabled are those who are most likely to have the most difficulty w/ this convolution. Please: simplify.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Japan post logo.png

Image:Japan post logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
