Task forces

This WikiProject has a lot of inactive task forces. Task forces covering larger subjects could lead to more collaboration. As an example, the gaijin tarento task force, music task force, and owarai task force (defunct?) could be combined for an Entertainment task force. The Shinto task force (defunct?) could be merged into the religion task force. Some of the task forces could be deleted as well, as many have little activity and the scope of some task forces overlap.

Just some thoughts, it's rather disheartening to see little activity here.  あやかなあ?  (talk) 21:12, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

I agree, its a bit sad.★Trekker (talk) 22:36, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Credibility bot

As this is a highly active WikiProject, I would like to introduce you to Credibility bot. This is a bot that makes it easier to track source usage across articles through automated reports and alerts. We piloted this approach at Wikipedia:Vaccine safety and we want to offer it to any subject area or domain. We need your support to demonstrate demand for this toolkit. If you have a desire for this functionality, or would like to leave other feedback, please endorse the tool or comment at WP:CREDBOT. Thanks! Harej (talk) 18:06, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Doesn't anyone have Pokémon on their watchlists?

Note: this notice is cross-posted at WT:VG, WT:A&M, and here, as well as the WikiProjects on Pokémon and media franchises.

Help is urgently needed at Talk:Pokémon. Any positive assistance is appreciated. Thanks! - Manifestation (talk) 15:20, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Oricon sales chart book

Does anyone have Oricon Album Chart Book: Complete Edition 1970–2005? 2006, ISBN 4-87131-077-9. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 22:35, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Probably not. There is a copy at the National Diet Library, or it might be possible to get it from Yale University via interlibrary loan. Dekimasuよ! 08:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Looking for help to improve Plastic Love

Hey everyone, I've been working the last month or so to improve the article for "Plastic Love" with the goal of getting to GA or FA in the future. I think I've scoured the internet thoroughly enough to find and use most reputable English-language sources, and I've been able to find a handful of Japanese ones with the help of Google Translate. That being said, I think the article could still use some work - specifically on its critical reception and on the actual recording process of the song itself. As it is right now, the article relies mostly on English-language sources, so I'm not sure it's at the best state it could be.

Ideally, this article would include contemporaneous media coverage in the 80s of the album (think album reviews, news pieces, etc.), modern articles which discuss the song from a critical or retrospective lens, or interviews with Takeuchi herself. However, I don't speak or read Japanese, so I'm kind of limited in how I can research here. If anyone who does have a knowledge of Japanese and has access to these sorts of resources is able, I would greatly appreciate your help in this research. Toa Nidhiki05 19:04, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Need a Japanese speaker

I tried google translate for this article [1], just need to know the date of this article, 7 July of which year? Thanks. LibStar (talk) 06:33, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

I assume it is this year, because it says it's two years after the Myanmar coup, which likely refers to the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. However, the page doesn't say. For the sake of reliability, it might be better to find a real article if possible; the site you've linked is sort of the NHK version of the Simple English Wikipedia. Dekimasuよ! 08:06, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

The link to the original regular NHK News article (2023/7/4) is on the bottom of the "news web easy" page. Since the accessibility of NHK News stories online is time-limited in general, one more: corresponding 7/4 press release by the JP embassy in Thailand. --Asakura Akira (talk) 11:35, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
