Independent, Reputable Sources for Theatre

Hello. I'm trying to update information about Japanese theatre. Pages like Theater of Japan, Category:Japanese Musicals etc. are so empty it's scary, when there's so much going on here that's so vibrant.

Apparently, Stage Natalie, Oricon, and the like aren't considered reputable sources because they don't have bylines. Yomiuri Shinbun, Asahi Shinbun and the like don't do theatre reviews the way the New York Times does. But these are major productions by Toho and producers like that. They're as high quality as anything on Broadway. I'm mostly concerned with original shows, since they aren't represented at all. With adaptations, like In This Corner of the World, I can add the musical information to the page of the source. But they still won't show up under the Japanese musicals category if the musical doesn't have its own page. I did find newspaper articles about In This Corner of the World, but not about original productions like Isabeau, Cross Road, that Mouldman Bellringer thing that's at Tokyo International Forum Hall C now...

There were articles in English and Japanese about Shakespeare in Year 12 of the Tempo Era, but I haven't seen that (I want to see it this winter) so if anyone has seen it, can you please help with making a page for it?

I just feel like there must be reputable, independent source coverage of something like Isabeau. It was such a major event. Nozomi Futo has a column in one of the newspapers, that was the only thing that came up when I searched it. The Japan Times didn't cover it at all.

Can anyone please tell me why these things don't get covered, and where to find better coverage? I'm buying issues of Musical magazine, but that's only one source. EncreViolette (talk) 09:27, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

I have removed what I think is an inappropriate image from this article. The matter could use review by more knowledgeable folks, especially if another image could be suggested. Mangoe (talk) 02:26, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Anyone have this book?

Me and Goroth are trying to expand the article Chiisana Koi no Uta and we came across this book Heisei no hitto-kyoku (平成のヒット曲) the ISBN number is 978-4-10-610929-4. If someone have this book, expand the article for us. Thanks : ) Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 12:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I'd be grateful if someone can provide more information regarding the song itself with help of that book. --Goroth (talk) 14:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

X-post: Japanese wiki Kantō Massacre changes

Posted this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Korea, reposting here.

The Japanese Wikipedia version of the Kantō Massacre article (ja:関東大震災朝鮮人虐殺事件) is going under an upheaval right now. I wrote a summary on it here: Talk:Kantō Massacre (take my summary with grain of salt; I'm not a strong reader/speaker so I use a dictionary to read the Japanese). May be worth keeping an eye on. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 17:26, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Discussion is continuing, same user is deleting photos and promoting fringe theories without providing sources to support their claims. If you speak Japanese and are interested in history, please take a look at the discussion. seefooddiet (talk) 18:51, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

List of high schools in Japan and listed pages cleanup

List of high schools in Japan is cluttered, not to mention a lot of pages listed are old and extremely short. I'll be checking through the list and prodding unsalvagable ones (No notability, no reference) while saving and expanding ones that may be savable. I'll work on this when the current PROD on Taku High School is not challenged, to check if anyone objects. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 13:39, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Concerning ones (Just an example there's actual dozens)

• Fuji Women's Academy
• Hokkaido Bifuka High School

ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 13:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Since the Taku High School one is not contested after 7 days, I'll start to mass PROD articles that meets this as phase 1:

-Completely unreferenced or only has primary sources, with google check in both English and Japanese failing. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 12:17, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I've created a stub for Japanese drag performer Durian Lollobrigida, if any project members are interested in expanding or creating an entry for Japanese Wikipedia. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Eyes requested at Ainu people

A new editor has been repeatedly replacing mentions of "Hokkaidō and Northeast Honshu" or "Hokkaidō and the Tōhoku region of Honshu" with "Hokkaidō and Tōhoku region", which clearly doesn't scan in English ([1], [2], [3], [4], etc.). I have tried a variety of versions that do scan in English, but the reversions have continued. I've welcomed the editor and given the necessary information on using accurate summaries and not violating the 3RR, but I also don't want to violate it myself. If you have any thoughts, please try to help resolve this simple question at Ainu people. Dekimasuよ! 20:57, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
