Wow, Once Again Another Japanese Mythology Article No One Bothered to Cite or Reference

[edit]

All I can assume is that the editors to Wiki are completely disrespectful, since they believe that not only does Japanese Mythology require any references or citations when it comes to these articles, but anything, no matter how trivial (and I'm talking making Scooby Doo references now, folks) can be passed off as something useful in an encyclopaedia. This, along with 99% of what I'm finding on List_of_legendary_creatures_from_Japan is shameful. So how do we fix poor Noppera-bō, who should either have actual academic citations or be deleted, there really is no middle ground. Duende-Poetry (talk) 17:58, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a problem of disrespect, but more of a lack of hands on deck. It doesn't take much to notice the problems with Japanese mythology articles on Wikipedia, but it does require a lot of effort and/or expertise to address them. Coverage of Japanese mythology has been sloppy for a long time, and the Japanese Mythology taskforce hasn't been very active. You should bring your grievances up to the aforementioned taskforce or even Wikiproject Japan for assistance, where your concerns are much more likely to get an effective response. _dk (talk) 16:15, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup and Expansion

[edit]

This article is incomplete, undersourced, and needs to be expanded. It's really sad considering that this article has all the looks of becoming a good or featured article if it were to be worked on more. Some of its information is unsourced and needs to be given proper citations. For the most part, more information needs to be added with proper citations. A section on the origins of the legend should also be added to the article as well. Hopefully this article will get the attention it needs in order to be fixed and expanded.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:42, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources to Add

[edit]

Since this article has very few sources. I've taken the initiative and found some sources that can be added by someone else later. Here they are (Note: There's bound to be more sources in Japanese):--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:23, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
