Accuracy?

This is one of a series of inadequately referenced articles on Japanese mines created by a single user. The source referenced only mentions Sado once (p. 293), and that seems to be for the Sado Gold Mine (see jp:佐渡金山), which is not in Hokkaido, but on Sado, Niigata. It also says nothing about it being one of the largest silver mines in the world. I can find no reference to a Sado silver mine in Hokkaido. Michitaro (talk) 09:51, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sado, Niigata#Gold mine: I think that you are right, the Russian paper messed things up. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 04:52, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking this and adding a reference. Can the article still say it is/was "one of the largest silver mines in Japan and in the world"? Neither of the references says that. Michitaro (talk) 05:48, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted world, there should no other mine from 1601 until 1974 ;) --Chris.urs-o (talk) 06:15, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Translating the content about Koreans

The Japanese version of the article is appropriately nuanced about the treatment of Koreans on the island I think. It doesn't read actively denialist like other articles on the Japanese Wikipedia. It does have some sourcing improvements needed, but otherwise I think it's a good starting off point. seefooddiet (talk) 06:12, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no unattributed denialism I see no issue with it. But denials by attributed party can also be worth adding!

Sadly I don't read japanese and also would not have the time to do it, but I'll follow the edits :) Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 11:54, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can be worth adding, but the issue is WP:UNDUE. I have no problems with mentioning alternate theories, but it needs to be made clear that they're alternate. The Japanese Wikipedia often has serious issues with that. seefooddiet (talk) 20:31, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimatelly, due and undue weight is one of the most contentious topic that there is. But I trust our collective judgement. :) Some very interesting denial go on with nation war crimes, regardless of which is the nation. I have little doubt believing that it happens a lot on the japanese wikipedia as well! Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
