Translation to confirm gender identity edit
Hey all! An IP address added to Nanae Chrono that they are FTM transgender citing Chrono's Twitter bio. Can any fluent Japanese speakers confirm that this source does indeed confirm this because it seems like an important detail if it does decisively confirm this. Link20XX (talk) 23:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
I used The Japan times as a source for the recent accusations and his suspension of activities. The JP wiki has more detail with JP sources. Would welcome more sources and any expansions or copy-editing to what I added. Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Official greenhouse gas statistics now out edit
Hello from Wikipedia:WikiProject Climate change,
A lot of countries have just sent their homework to the UNFCCC - too many for us to check them all.
Perhaps you would like to update Climate change in Japan from
https://unfccc.int/documents/637879
P.S. If you are really keen we would also appreciate your opinion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Greenhouse_gas_emissions#Very_confusing_layout._Often_ends_up_effectively_duplicating_itself
Hi, I'm looking for sources to improve Bingo Stadium. If anyone could suggest anything, I'd be grateful. JMWt (talk) 17:38, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sometimes the corresponding article on Japanese Wikipedia has sources that can be used but in this case there's only a primary source being cited. That source, though, does have to do with the naming rights of the stadium, and it is from January 2022. I doubt there's going to be much if anything about this stadium written in English in secondary reliable sources written (e.g. The Japan Times), and whatever there is might just be mentions related to events held at the stadium and not about the stadium itself per se. There might be stuff in Japanese in local or regional papers, and probably the best way to find that is to Google the stadium's Japanese name. Absent finding one or two pretty good reliable sources per WP:NBUILDING, this article might be a good candidate for a WP:REDIRECT. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Korean or Japanese nationality edit
I'm working on several articles on celebrities in Japan, and I'm running into issues with determining the nationalities of several of them, particularly the ones of Korean descent. This article from Toyo Keizai talks about several "Koreans living in Japan", but should they be listed as Korean or Japanese (i.e. Hanae Kan)? lullabying (talk) 01:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- If there are no reliable sources to confirm a particular nationality, nationality shouldn't be listed at all. The Japanese Wikipedia says that Hanae Kan's nationality is South Korean, but gives no direct citation. However, the Tōyō Keizai article says 在日韓国人女性, and in this formulation kankokujin is commonly a reference to nationality. This article says that she is a citizen of South Korea.

Accenture at Japanese Wikipedia edit
On behalf of Accenture, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I have submitted a series of edit requests to bring the company's entry at Japanese Wikipedia up to date here. I've struggled to get feedback on a few of the suggestions, if any editors here are interested in taking a look.
Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 16:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
