[edit] The SLAPP suit

The section on the SLAPP suit needs to be expanded, and probably needs a different title. Shinobu 06:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "The Oricon Charts are now Japan’s best-known."

I'm new to the edit history of this page, but there are apparently dozens of edits over this single sentence (and an access date). I apologize for not checking first to see the apparent roaring edit war before reverting User:Zoizoiz2's latest edit as vandalism. I suppose it's not exactly vandalism when taken alone, but when several people keep reverting your edit, perhaps it's worth sitting down to discuss?

That said, I think even though the statement may be true, it's not so important that it's worth edit warring over. The Oricon charts are certainly among the best-known of Japan's music charts. They may even be the most well-known. But I would argue that that's pretty much impossible to find a solid citation for; even though your citations might support that it's quite important, I wouldn't trust any source as to what is the most well-known, particularly not a quickie written by Nippop. (Nothing against Nippop, just that I'm pretty darn sure they didn't do any real research before citing Oricon as the "best-known".) In any case, the information doesn't really add much to the article. Is there any really compelling reason why it should be in here, and do you have a good source for it? —Jediknil (talk) 05:55, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

No it does not belong in the article, and someone has already mentioned in the article that Tokushin is industry only, while Oricon is open to the public. 220.253.30.70 (talk) 08:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New supporting Articles needed

I have two red-links in W-inds. to individual-chart Articles waiting to be written: Weekly Albums Chart and Weekly Singles Chart, already prepped for this Article. What References are available for articles on the individual Oricon charts? B. C. Schmerker (talk) 02:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
