WPJ Assessment Commentary

A terrific glassary! And if it's a "start", as you claim elsewhere, then coverage is at least satisfactorily covered for a B-class. Bold terms in the definitions were a good idea, as are the briefs in parentheses. Kanji present but not overdone. Should be very accessible by the reader unfamiliar with the Japanese language. Definitions are concise, and not overly detailed. Good luck with additional entries! Boneyard90 (talk) 13:39, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Glad you like it. Many more terms could be added, but the most relevant are probably already covered. I created the glossary in the course of reading about Japanese swords for the intro of List of National Treasures of Japan (crafts: swords). The glossary basically contains all the terms I stumbled upon during this activity. I am currently not planning to expand it further (which is definitely possible). However if somebody knows of a term not yet covered, I will happily add it to the glossary (if I can find out what it means). So suggestions for terms to be added are very welcome. Another thing I tried, but does not really seem to work is to have links to images (in the glossary article) using Template:Anchor. Maybe somebody more familiar with wiki-syntax could help. "see image" is supposed to bring one to the respective image, but does not really work (it always takes me to the first image). There are more images available on commons that could be used in the glossary. bamse (talk) 19:33, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The anchor problem has been resolved. bamse (talk) 23:51, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Helpful webpage

Corrected some Japanese texts. This page [1] may be helpful for checking and further expansion. --116.80.246.192 (talk) 14:17, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
