[edit] Elevens

Why does the word "Elevens" redirect here? I was looking for the card game... Chris Martin (talk) 21:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Since the user who created the redirect is still active, the best way to get an answer may be to leave a message at User talk:Starks. Fg2 (talk) 22:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Probably because of this Anime: [1] (see plot summaries) 84.56.122.162 (talk) 07:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cannot understand this sentence: "the Yayoi emigrated from the southern The downstream of Yangtze River"

I cannot understand this sentence: "Most modern scholars say that the Yayoi emigrated from the southern The downstream of Yangtze River to northern Kyūshū, though it has also been proposed that they came from southeastern China." The source is in Japanese too, can someone have a look at this? Thanks. -SpuriousQ (talk) 01:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing this, Dekimasu. -SpuriousQ (talk) 02:36, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Every once in a while editors try to come in and de-regionalize or re-regionalize the article without regard to the sources already in place. I mostly restored the text that described the totality of positions in the sources. Dekimasuよ! 04:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yayoi are not predominately Korean

In historical reality vast sources states that the Yayoi are predominately from Korea. You cannot underestimate " Geographical and cultural location". Korean Peninsula is located nearby ( Islands) that we know today as Japan. Japanese population consists percentage between Han Chinese or Korean percentage. Its very unclear. Exactly Japanese population trace blood kinship to Chinese or Koreans. If Japanese Emperor trace blood lineage to Baekje Kingdom. That probably sums the idea that majority of Yayoi or Japanese trace bloodkinship to Korea/ Koreans not China. I wouldn't be surprised if 6 million or so Japanese trace blood lineage to Korean Peninsula. Massive migration from Korea to Japan existed from 15th century to modern day 20th century. To make my point clear. It is wise to say Korean blood runs deep in Japanese gene pool. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Koreakansaiklan (talk • contribs) 11:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Vast sources states that the Yayoi are predominately from China. Including Japanese sources James collins123 (talk) 18:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Recently Japanese studies show that the Japanese population consists of around %25.9 are Han Chinese, %24.8 are Korean etc... James collins123 (talk) 18:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

to state it is predominately Korean is misleading and it is also wrong. James collins123 (talk) 18:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't say "predominantly Korean" - it says "predominantly argue". We mention both ideas and have both backed up by cited sources. If you want to change the information as presented, do you have new and/or more definitive sources for us to cite? Dekimasuよ! 00:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Intro/dablink spacing

There is an awkward space after the "This article is about the ethnic group. For the group of people holding Japanese citizenship, see Demography of Japan." header. I don't know why it is there, but what's more, I'm unable to figure out how to remove it!Timneu22 (talk) 15:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that Template:Infobox Ethnic group has a top margin of top:0.75em. This is too big and inconsistent with the look of other articles. I will take this discussion there. Timneu22 (talk) 02:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Japanese family of today DOES NOT HAVE 4 KIDS!!!

What an incredible misrepresentation! 24.130.198.167 (talk) 11:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

The average is probably something like 1.7 kids. Perhaps you can find a photograph of a family with 1.7 kids. I don't think it's necessary, though, since the photograph in the article does not say anything about matching average numbers of kids, or height relationships of the parents, or any other numerical quantity. It doesn't even say that the children are siblings ("family" can mean more than married couple and their offspring). The picture illustrates a present-day Japanese family. Fg2 (talk) 04:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

This Japanese family of today does have four kids. While that may not be the norm anymore, that certainly doesn't make them any less Japanese, or any less of a Japanese family of today. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 17:35, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Besides, its just suppose to show a Japanese family. Yojimbo501 (talk) 19:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
