How this works

I'm just making sure I understand this correctly. Any article placed on this page is one that the person placing it here isn't sure about, or that is disputed as to which assessment rank it should be? ···日本穣 22:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Changing of assessment page

I feel that the way this page is used should be scrapped. Only a few people come by to check it. It should be based on this. Feel free to contradict me though. XP Ominae (talk) 08:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Have a look at how we did WP:ANIME/ASSESS, also look at {{WikiProject Anime and manga}}. G.A.S 08:54, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Something like that can probably work. Thing is that the page'll have to revamped from scratch... Ominae (talk) 10:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I concur. This will also involve moving Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Japan#Article assessment here. I would also suggest merging Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Japan#FAC and FAR requests here as well. G.A.S 05:57, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Yoko Ono

Hello, I changed Yoko Ono from high importance to low importance. Thanks, The Hero of This Nation (talk) 15:08, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Assessment of Name Articles

I have a question about the articles on Japanese names, especially the given names, like Shigenobu (which I recently expanded). Should they be assessed like regular articles, with (Start, C-class, etc) or as a "Disambiguation" page? Boneyard90 (talk) 16:06, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Sudoku "Top"?

I saw that the article Sudoku is rated as "Top" importance. I propose that it be downgraded to "Mid" or "High" at best. Here are my reasons:

• The game was NOT invented in Japan. It was invented by a guy in Indiana.
• The name "Sudoku" was invented in Japan.
• While the game is an international phenomenon, it should not be considered a "core topic" (per Top-importance criteria) on the subject of Japan.

I submit that Japan without sudoku wouldn't be very different than it is today, and therefore does not rank among articles such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Kabuki, or the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (all Top-importance). Boneyard90 (talk) 06:52, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree. bamse (talk) 11:31, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Downgraded to "Mid" importance. Boneyard90 (talk) 22:15, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Japan/Assessment#Importance scale: "For example, Sudoku is ..." needs to be rewritten with another example. --Kusunose 00:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

True. I suggest something that fulfills the "Top-importance" definition but easily recognized by anyone familiar with Japanese culture, like Sushi or Haiku, both of which are already rated Top-importance. Boneyard90 (talk) 01:16, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Transport in Japan

I would like to reassess the article Transport in Japan from High-Importance to Top-Importance. The articles Rail transport in Japan and Narita International Airport are rated Top-Importance, so I don't see why Transport in Japan isn't Top-Importantance. Is this okay? --Horai 551 10:53, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Article assessments

Has anyone been assessing the articles here. Most date back to '14/15. Ominae (talk) 07:05, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Parity of importance levels between the 2020 Summer Paralympics and the 2020 Summer Olympics

Hello,

The Paralympics and the Olympics are equal endeavors and deserve to be treated and recognized equally. I noticed that the 2020 Summer Olympics was listed as "High-importance" for WikiProject Japan/Sport/Tokyo; yet the 2020 Summer Paralympics was listed as "Low-importance." I would like to see the two listed at the same level, preferably, both at High-importance. This inequality of importance levels is not only discriminatory, it also decreases the quality, quantity, profile of, and attention to Misplaced Pages articles related to the Paralympics. If you start looking up articles relating to the Paralympics, you will see these have been underresourced and effectively ignored, which harms Misplaced Pages's reputation and does little to aid the parity between the Paralympics and the Olympics. Yes, I believe this is also important for Japan as well. Like any country, some of the citizens of Japan have disabilities and I believe that this would be very important to Japanese citizens with disabilities as well as people with disabilities around the world and it will be a unifying moment for Japan and the whole world. I respectfully ask that the page for the 2020 Summer Paralympics be upgraded to High-importance, as the 2020 Summer Olympics already is. Note: WikiProject Olympics already have both listed at High-importance so there is precedent for this. Please let me know if I put this conversation in the wrong place and let me know where a discussion on this can be held if this is the case.

Respectfully,

Gorō Hobo

I suspect this subject may be notable, but I can't support preserving the article as written, given its unsourced claim that the subject is "renowned" (apparently the result of reading too much into a colorful translation of the title of a book that has a short article on him); however, if anyone has quick access to that book and could fix the article. Misplaced Pages has a systemic language problem on this one, I think. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:36, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
