- Wow! You picked this one up remarkably quickly! Thank you for your interest. I recently rewrote this article and, among a few other things, one of my primary focuses was to try to keep the article under 10,000 words in accordance with Misplaced Pages policies which state that articles should be between "4,000 to 10,000 words". Ultimately, the rewritten article was a little over 8,500 words, so there is definitely room to add in additional content if needed.
- Also, when you reviewed the article, "Death toll of the Nanking Massacre", you stated that "Citations should be provided at the end of every sentence". However, I subsequently cleaned up the article Iwane Matsui based on that principle, and during the good article review the reviewer repeatedly insisted that "You do not need to have a citation for every sentence" and made me delete most of the citations. When I rewrote the article History of Japan, I made a point of doing it the way my last reviewer wanted, so as a result not every sentence has a citation at the end of it. If you want I can insert additional citations, though for the record there are some reviewers who vociferously object to doing that.CurtisNaito (talk) 17:08, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
