Amakasu

The article should make it that Noe was indeed murdered by General Amakasu. There seems to be some difference about the precise manner she was killed, but she was murdered by Amakasu, who took advantage of the chaos following the Great Kanto earthquake to start murdering people whom the government did not approve of. The Japanese have a saying that the nail that sticks up gets hammered, and in her case it was literally true.--A.S. Brown (talk) 22:32, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Problems requiring cleanup

I just tagged the page as needing cleanup due to a lack of citations. There are some other issues that I feel also need addressing, but citations are the most significant.

User:Shinamom has been the article's chief editor for two months - since May it seems. As they are a student editor enrolled in an education program, I understand that adhering strictly to a set of rules is not the best way to learn how to edit. I left a message on their talk page two weeks ago in the hope that they would respond positively and work to fix the issues I highlighted - but received no response.

I want to be cautious about undoing the changes that have been made to the article, since they added content in good faith that appears to be factual (even if it is not verified). Compared to the article as it was before they edited it at all, it is now much longer. However, in its old state it contained many more citations (it seems some have been removed for no good reason?), and the quality of grammar in the newer content is not up to standard. Unless someone wishes to take up the task of fixing the article (whether it is Shinamom or not), I will likely revert it to its previous state in a couple of weeks.Sparkledriver (talk) 16:29, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

I think it's okay to revert now. If Shinamom wants, we can restore the edits in a draft where they can work on it at their leisure, but for now it's better to have the previous, fully cited version of the article live, especially since it's been three weeks. Let me know if I can help! czar 04:11, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the input! I've now reverted (and done some more editing while I was at it) just to close the loop for any future readers. Sparkledriver (talk) 13:50, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Free love

Now:

Itō met Sakae Ōsugi in 1916. Together they kept working together in both political activism and political writings. As a couple they practiced free love and they never married. Sakae Ōsugi was married with another woman at the time and also had an affair with another feminist, Ichiko Kamichika.

Previously:

Sakae Ōsugi, who was already married, engaged in simultaneous relationships with Itō and another feminist, Ichiko Kamichika, taking the viewpoint that he loved all three women equally and should not have to choose which one he loved the most. The three women he was involved with did not feel the same way, and each wanted him only for herself, which caused considerable problems.

Diff

@Cinemaandpolitics, these are very different versions of the story. Is there a reason you used Ness's encyclopedia/tertiary article over Large's? czar 11:14, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

It is simply more factual, as oposed to Large's which is speculative. Ito and Osugi never married and stayed together for a long time. The idea that Ito wanted Osugi "all for herself" has to be proved and to my knowledge is not rooted in reality. Once that I will be able to find the time to read more of the original Ito's text I'll add more references to the article.

There are various other major modifications to do: her relationship with Tsuji should be separated by "early life and education" and expanded. The section "Life with Sakae Ōsugi" should also probably have the full account of the attempted murder of her partner separated. As it stands it relegates the long production of their texts together too far down. Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 19:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
