Order of the Rising Sun

Please, will you review the initial and last sentences in the first paragraph of Order of the Rising Sun? I used cut-and-paste to copy from a webpage posted by the Japanese Embassy in Australia, but I wonder if Wikipedia standards permit omitting a second "nihongo template" in this paragraph? --Tenmei (talk) 16:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

It looks fine to me. As for the {{Nihongo}} template, the text is referenced, not directly quoted so it may be used if desired. Or it may be omitted if you like; it is up to you. It is intended to be useful, but too much Japanese text within an English article is both distracting and of limited value to many readers, so I generally try to keep it to a minimum. Alternatively, you may rephase it to: "The design of the Rising Sun symbolizes energy as powerful as the rising sun." This avoids the issue entirely and still conveys the same information.

I've brought the category up for discussion again here. VegaDark (talk) 16:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
