[edit] List maintainable?

Umm, is this list maintainable? Shouldn't we exclude at least articles of Japanese people? -- Taku 07:50 Mar 23, 2003 (UTC)

This list is the Japanese version of List of China related topics. The "Related changes" of this page is useful to monitor Japan-related changes. I don't think we should exclude articles on people. -- Nanshu 08:11 Mar 23, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Kanji English

What's that "Kanji English" article for? Sounds like utter nonsense to me. —This unsigned comment was added by UM (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Article unintelligible

The whole article is absolutely uninteligable! —This unsigned comment was added by 212.112.96.46 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Al Qaeda article

Al Qaeda is relevant because its Project Bojinka stated that 11-12 U.S. airliners would be bombed. Several of them would stop over in Japan.

Also, the preliminary testing on a flight from Manila to Tokyo killed a Japanese businessman. WhisperToMe 23:59, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)

It is true but if we adapted that sort of resoning, many articles loosely-related to Japan need to be added to here. For example, the United States has a very close connection with Japan in terms of economy but it cannot be a reason to list it. I think you can think in the way that articles listed here are originally from Japan or at least articles that mention Japan in more than trivial points.

Is Philippine Airlines Flight 434 (the flight was headed to Tokyo, and the person that died on the flight was a Japanese businessman - The bombing was linked to Project Bojinka) significant enough to be listed in this article? WhisperToMe 10:26, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Removed the following from the article page:

I don't see why Rholton removed the above. It may be unfavorable to list articles with Wikipedia namespace on the ordinally articles, but I think the list of Japan-related topics should have pointers to Japan-related Wikipedia pages. --Nanshu 03:03, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I agree about this. It certainly makes it easier or your casual reader -- who'd we'd obviously like to become a contributor -- to get involved and know what's involved with Japanese articles. Is such a list maintained elsewhere? -- Tlotoxl 04:55, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

BTW, I need a more sophisticated way to know what is happening to Wikipedia.

  • I don't like to monitor Recent changes, floods of articles. I cannot get all changes since my last visit if I want.
  • But "My watchlist" has a limit.
  • New pages only shows new pages as the title says.
  • "Related changes " of List of Japan-related topics only shows the latest edits. I often miss edits overwritten by others and edits at Talk.

"Recent changes of selected articles" seems nice. --Nanshu 03:19, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Further division of pages

The two pages as they currently stand are too large and very hard to use for anything. I propose making a separate page for each letter. Thoughts? --日本穣 08:14, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I've begun the split and finished the 123-K page. --日本穣 Nihonjoe 23:56, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
All done. (^_^) --日本穣 Nihonjoe 05:36, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
