Lead[edit]

After setting himself on fire while lighting the gasoline,[2] - The Incident section says there was an explosion caused by the gasoline mixing with the air, and then the perpetrator setting people on fire. No mention of him setting himself on fire. I would add this fact in the Incident section too.

Background[edit]

Studio 1, 2 and 5 - There are three studios total, correct? Any reason why there isn't any Studio 3 and 4? Just want to make sure we have it right before moving on.

There is no "4" because 4 is considered an unlucky number. "3" appears to be a product development division (what is called merchandise development in the next question), but not a studio where things are animated. Thus the numbers seem to be correct. Dekimasuよ! 04:42, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The building was mostly used by the animation production staff and was constructed in 2007 - The merchandise development division building or which one? At this point it's unclear which studio or building we are talking about (ideally we'd want to know which one was caught on fire since I'm confused on how many different locations there are).

Studio 1 is the one that was lit on fire. I have seen that construction was completed in February 2008, so that's probably the one referred to here. Dekimasuよ! 04:42, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incident[edit]

At 10 p.m. (13:00 UTC), the Fire and Disaster Management Agency published a report stating - Please WP:REDLINK this page because we have one in Japanese.

Victims[edit]

There were at least 74 people inside the building at the time of the fire. A total of 36 people were killed, including three who later died at a hospital.[16][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] - This is an instance of WP:CITEKILL. Please consider trimming or merging.

On 2 August, the Kyoto Police released the names of ten victims - Question. Previously you linked the national police and then mentioned "police" for the following mentions. Now you mention the Kyoto Police (I assume this police force is different than the national police). Can you confirm that the national police was for all previous mentions up until here? Also, do you think the Kyoto Police could have its own article? If so, please add a redlink with an appropriate naming.

when two people later died at the hospital.[11][53][54][33][38] - Another citekill instance, considering trimming or merging.

but some remain in the ICU with severe - I would spell out the entire phrase and then add (ICU) for future mentions.

Suspect[edit]

apprehended by the Kyoto Prefectural Police - I assume it's the same as the Kyoto Police from the previous section? Consider keeping the same naming convention for consistency.
- Not sure on this one. The prefectural police are on the same level as state police or state highway patrol departments in the States, but sometimes they also handle local police issues. I've never been to Kyoto, so someone else will have to answer this one. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 01:19, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The link says he was passed along to a "伏見署員". ja:伏見警察署 implies that this refers to a prefectural police station. I also noticed that the caps usage of "Kyoto Police" is a bit inconsistent in the article. Dekimasuよ! 02:06, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
accusing the studio of "ripping off" or "plagiarising" (Japanese: パクリやがって, Hepburn: pakuri yagatte) his novels.[19][31][69][70][71][72] - Another citekill instance, considering trimming or merging.

another hospital in Kyoto City for final rehabilitation - Is "Kyoto" by itself fine? Or is there a difference from the previous usages of "Kyoto"?
- There's both a Kyoto Prefecture and a Kyoto City. It's good to have the specificity here is there are hospitals outside the city but within the prefecture. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 01:19, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
He was reported to have mostly recovered. He acknowledged his responsibility for the attack and expressed feelings of remorse and gratitude towards the hospital staff, who he said treated him better than anyone had ever done in his life. - He know that it was reported that he had mostly recovered. It's in the source. I would trim that to "He recovered from most of his injuries and acknowledged responsibility for the attack. He expressed ..." or something like that.
