Semi-protected edit request on 4 June 2024

[edit]

I request for in the motive section of the infobox where it says "Anti-Chinese racism" to be changed to "Anti-Chinese sentiment" because Japanese and Chinese people are both East Asians. 95.147.145.134 (talk) 16:02, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wording is appropriate: Racism in Japan#Mainland Chinese. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 17:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Aoidh (talk) 18:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Racism is discrimination based on race. Japan's discrimination of the Chinese people was not based on race. 78.80.105.167 (talk) 23:24, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I request for in the Massacre section, where it says "The extreme cruelty witnessed in Nanjing, including extensive killing, sexual violence, and looting, was not an isolated occurrence, but rather a reflection of Japan's behavior throughout the war in China" to be changed to "The extreme cruelty witnessed in Nanjing, including extensive killing, sexual violence, torture, and looting, was not an isolated occurrence, but rather a reflection of Japan's war in China" please. 81.137.207.239 (talk) 13:17, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Question: Why is this change necessary? Changing reflection of Japan's behavior throughout the war to reflection of Japan's war seems very vague. Jamedeus (talk) 23:32, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: No reason was given for the change and the IP address has been blocked for a week. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁=☁=✈) 06:19, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Isaiah Ben-Dasan persona

[edit]

I don't know how to do this properly, but from my understanding Isaiah Ben-Dasan is a fabricated persona of Japanese author Shichihei Yamamoto, the section "Controversy" makes it seem like it is the other way around and a Jewish foreigner of that name existed. 2A02:810B:1040:3174:1F5:7BAD:3DFC:3C46 (talk) 14:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be right, so I have fixed that. I hope that's what you wanted. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 17:40, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
