Japanese literature
It's debatable whether Perry and Co. were the sole cause of the end of the sakoku policy (actually it's not debatableーthey weren't the only cause), but the relationship between the Perry expedition and the adoption of western literary forms is even more tenuous.

Missing Sun motif
Not more accurate. Some people don't like translating 神 as "god" when it refers to lesser divinities, but Amaterasu is not a "lesser" divinity.current

The Family Shakespeare
→Macbeth: Already outlined elsewhere in the article, but also ... "Bowdler didn't changed 'damned' to 'crimson', because he wanted to remove instances of blasphemy" doesn't make much sense.

Talk:Kappa (novel)
Hijiri88 moved page Talk:Kappa (novel) to Talk:Kappa (novella): 5万文字 isn't a "novel". I'm not entirely sure what counts as a "novella" and would personally prefer to call it a short story, but the title definitely shouldn't outright contradict the opening sentence by calling it a "novel".currentTag: New redirect

Ahura Mazda
Not sure if this was vandalism, but "Harzoo" is what anglocentric "Game of Thrones" fans call everyone from Essos, and is not an intuitive variant spelling of "Ahura Mazda".Tag: Manual revert

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
→Writing: The word "tone" is misused in the VF article; if we are going to misuse it in the same way, it would need to be in quotation marks, but that would violate WP:SCAREQUOTES. The tone ("The manner in which speech or writing is expressed.") that is evoked is much more that of the Peter Jackson films (and "Game of Thrones") than that of Tolkien's writing.Tag: Reverted

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
→Writing: See talk. I don't know how/why this edit was undone by an overhaul 3+ months later, but pending some reasoning being provided, the text should be changed back. The previous wording served to reinforce a popular misconception about the nature of this book.

Caitlyn Jenner
→Politics: "Christian" is not a political stance/affiliation, and this makes the sentence read like a reference to Last Week Tonight's piece on Mike Pence.
