Wording

Hello, and thanks for your efforts to improve Japanese politics articles. I'd just like to suggest that you word them a little more carefully, avoiding words or phrases like 'arguably', 'infamous', 'terrifying apex', 'dramatic', 'bold' etc. I've reworded the additions to the 1960 election article in this edit to give you an idea of kind of wording that would be more appropriate for an encyclopedic entry. Also, much of your additional text is unsourced – this makes it more likely that it may be deleted at some point. Adding sources helps other editors verify the information. Cheers, Number 57 17:29, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

@Number 57: Hi. I'll be careful about wording. Also, which text is 'additional'? I only placed source citations at the end of paragraphs because it applied to the entire paragraph, rather than copy and paste the citation over and over again after individual sentences. What is best practice? LaunchOctopus (talk) 17:38, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, when I said 'additional', I meant the text you were adding to articles. You left the 1960 article looking like this, where the second paragraph (newly added) has no sources, and the third has one source that appears to be for a single sentence. You can add a source multiple times by naming it and reusing it. See e.g. repeated use of the first source in this article. Cheers, Number 57 17:43, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Ok I see, thanks. I forgot to put the same source for the second paragraph because most of it was self-evident information, but the last sentence does require a source. The third paragraph is awkward, the source applies to the entire paragraph with the exception of the last sentence, because that was information I inferred mathematically that the author of the source didn't, so I didn't want to include it under that source. I'll be more careful next time with sources. LaunchOctopus (talk) 17:48, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
