[edit] absences and losses

Absences due to injury are not losses as there is noone to lose against as no match up is given when the wrestler is absent. Also a Fusenpai is a loss to another wrestler due to injury and such a loss will appear as a "proper" loss. A wrestler appearing for three days and withdrawing on the fourth, will receive a fusenpai loss only on the fourth day and afterwards he will be considered absent. It is only true to say that an absence contributes to a loss in terms of promotion and demotion. Nashikawa 21:39, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• You are, of course, correct. I felt that it was important, for the sake of the casual reader, to specify that the third number in a rikishi's record indicates kyujo losses, since most sports put draws in this column. Since there are no longer any hikiwake in sumo, I felt this was an appropriate distinction. Thanks for your diligence! -Tadanisakari 04:09, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

No worries, my main concern was with the fusenpai loss aspect which has a very specific meaning in my view. Cheers Nashikawa 22:29, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo Link

The link for Takanohana and Michael Jackson doesn't work. Does this photo exist, and just the link is bad, or what?柱 18:44, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quality of photo in infobox

Found a photo of Taka II on Flickr, but it's of low quality so remove it if you feel like it. Kaiketsu (talk) 19:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it improves the article and I'm happy to let it stay! Pawnkingthree (talk) 21:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Since no one has objected to the photo in about a week after it was uploaded, I'm gonna remove the request template for a photo. Kaiketsu 21:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Top Division Record and retirement

I have noticed that the records of rikishi who retire during a tournament do not show a red final tournament box (as the key suggests they should). I cannot determine how to get this to occur automatically when retirement is indicated, but that would be the ideal solution. Does anyone know the appropriate contact for such an issue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moretz (talk • contribs) 23:26, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

The tournament tables were designed by Csernica and he is aware of this problem, but unfortunately he's on a long wikibreak at the moment. I don't have the technical know-how to fix it myself sadly. Pawnkingthree (talk) 12:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA

I'm thinking of submitting this for Good Article status. Thoughts anyone? Pawnkingthree (talk) 14:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I gave it a good look and I think it has achieved GA status. The only thing that would make it perfect is a jpg from his sumotori days; but that is a lot to ask as he retired before the wikipedia age. FourTildes (talk) 22:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes the photo could be better but I don't know of a free alternative. Have gone ahead and nominated it.Pawnkingthree (talk) 08:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
