Did you know nomination
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Misplaced Pages talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Question - @Letizia Ferhati: Are you sure you nominated the correct article? Japan does not appear eligible for DYK; it was not created by you but by User:Alan D in 2001, and has neither been 5x expanded nor made into a GA recently, and indeed has been a Featured Article since 2007. Japan does not meet the "New" criteria of WP:DYKCRIT, did you mean to nominate a different article? - Aoidh (talk) 22:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Closing. As noted in the above comment by Aoidh this doesn't meet requirements, although it is understandable that the DYK process name causes confusion in this regard. CMD (talk) 00:49, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
I want to right thing Japan's nominal GDP per capita rank
@Nikkimaria:
Please explain why you think that one sentence about Japan's leading position as one of the world's largest car exporters (ranking 2nd worldwide by number of cars exported after having been the top dog for a very long time) is "overdetail". Germany, which is a featured article as well, has a sentence about its car exports too, although it ranks below Japan in that regard. So please explain why that should be overly detailed, since it is anything but obvious. Maxeto0910 (talk) 15:26, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
The article already includes a statement about the country's current automobile production; it does not need to include additional historical data on the topic. Nikkimaria (talk) 17:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
1) I'm talking about car exports, not production, which even is the discipline in which Japan performs better (it is 3rd by car production, and 2nd by exports), making it even more notable.
2) This isn't historical data. The added text also stated that Japan is now the world's second-largest car exporter by number, having been overtaken by China in early 2023.
3) The featured Germany article also has information about both car production and exports, although Germany is behind Japan in both metrics. Maxeto0910 (talk) 17:59, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Because this is not the appropriate article to get into a discussion about the various means of calculating. We could simply say it's top-five for both? Nikkimaria (talk) 18:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd say that depends on how many sentences it would take to explain it. If it becomes too long, we could also add an explanatory note. If it becomes too long even for that, saying that it's in the top 5 (or rather top 3), like you suggested, would be an option as well. Maxeto0910 (talk) 18:18, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Good. But we should still either clarify that this rank is based on the number of cars exported (as this isn't clear out of the context) or state that Japan ranks in the top 3 in car exports by both number and value, for example:
"Japan is in the top three globally for automobile production and export, the latter both by number and value "
Yes, but that's not clear from the reader's perspective, who at most only knows that Japan ranks 3rd by number, and even that only when the reader reads the source because this isn't stated in the article. How should the reader know that it's not only 3rd by number but also by value when we don't write it and give a source for both? When we don't explicitly write that Japan ranks 3rd by car exports by both number and value, it may be fair to assume that it ranks 3rd by both metrics, but then we should as well give sources for both.

I am Japanese. This is my first time seeing the English version of the article, and there are quite a few mistakes. First, the Yayoi period dates back to the 3rd century BC, and the Japanese language existed even before that. Second, Emperor Jinmu was not a grandchild of Amaterasu Omikami, but a further grandchild of Amaterasu Omikami. I think it would be a good idea to include information on the Japanese people and their ecology that appeared in ancient history books of neighboring countries.

No, the Yayoi period is undisputedly from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD. This is a common understanding among scientists from all walks of life, but who claims that it began in the 7th century BC? Kou83949588383 (talk) 20:56, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Whenever I make edits related to issues of discrimination against women, they are deleted. The fact that abortion can only be performed with the consent of the man and the fact that the gender gap index is poor are always deleted. This is true, and all sources have been disclosed. The gender gap was also included in the Japanese version.I don't understand why they were removed even though these are true.流山隆一 (talk) 17:03, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Not done. It's unclear what you mean. Alexeyevitch 13:40, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Jamedeus (talk) 23:11, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
