• Japanese Language Proficiency Test-- Okay, I'll try out the new page. I asked for comments on JLPT a few weeks ago but didn't get any responses. Is it a B? Dekimasuよ! 04:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I assessed it as a B. I think it will need some expansion and additional sourcing to become a Good Article, but it's a B article, IMO. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 06:45, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that it is a B. Like joe said, a bit more expansion and this could become a GA soon. --Torsodog^Talk 13:14, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Special Boarding Unit - Noticed that it's a C from a previous B. I'd put Special Assault Team, but I'd go see if references can be found further. Ominae (talk) 02:06, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Special Boarding Unit should definitely be a C, as it does not seem expansive enough to be a B. --Torsodog^Talk 18:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree. There needs to be more content for it to be a B. I reassessed it as a C (and a Start for MILHIST as they do not use C for some reason). ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 20:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Already added more information, with more additional citations. I'll probably check this again if it's not B. Ominae (talk) 08:54, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Can the last four sections (Scandal, Foreign relations, Weapons and equipment, and Training) be expanded at all? There's a lot of good material before those sections, but these are fairly short and stubby. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 01:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)\[reply]
        • In the future, perhaps. The SBU's stuff is too secretive and a few details are told to the public by the JMSDF. I'll still try to do so. The scandal case is the one I want to expand, but JMSDF officers aren't allowing reporters to further details except what's reported. Now getting a picture will be harder as most of them will have to be under fair use, which is something the editors are against. Ominae (talk) 04:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Torikaebaya Monogatari - B-class checklist, please. --Malkinann (talk) 21:54, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would say this one meets B-Class requirements, especially now that it has an infobox. Interesting story. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 01:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks. :) I've started a discussion on Talk:Torikaebaya Monogatari about image possibilities, if you'd like to take a look? --Malkinann (talk) 11:48, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Takamura Monogatari - found this, and I was wondering: stub or start? --Malkinann (talk) 23:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• I would have to say that while it could probably pass as a bad Start, it should probably be labeled a Stub. There are some sources, but things are just not arranged very well. I gleaned very little meaningful information about the story from that article. --Torsodog^Talk 14:53, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Hamamatsu Chūnagon Monogatari - made this. Start/C?--Malkinann (talk) 00:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• C Class. G.A.S^talk 12:19, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Akira Kurosawa - ready for B-Class?--Stepusual (talk) 03:27, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• C Class, but very almost B class. The lead needs to be expanded to cover all major items in the article. G.A.S^talk 05:07, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Ran (film) - Article is rated B class by WP Films and Shakespeare, but has not been rated by WP:JP. --Xover (talk) 11:25, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• C class. I have added hidden comment in this regard. G.A.S^talk 05:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Kamakura Museum of National Treasures - start/C? bamse (talk) 14:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as C. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 22:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Mutsu Province - No longer a stub, please reassess and evaluate importance. RabidDeity (talk) 08:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as Start. ···日本穣^? · Talk to Nihonjoe 09:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Tokio (band) - This article was last assessed on August 25, and has had many substantial changes. Thank you, Eugeniu Bmsg 01:27, 2 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]
  • Still a Start. There's only one ref in the entire article. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 04:02, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Shinjuku Station--Sharadbob (talk) 05:56, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as High importance (busiest railway station in Japan and the world) and as Start class (needs references and more expansion). armagebedar (talk) 06:33, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• National Treasures of Japan - I expanded the article considerably. Please reassess. (Also looking for suggestions in a peer review.) bamse (talk) 21:44, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Finished with some final tweaks. Does it qualify for B-class? bamse (talk) 12:47, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is a good article now. bamse (talk) 03:56, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Arashi - The article has been updated substantially by numerous contributors since its initial rating and please note it was written in NPOV with verifiable references. Kindly request a re-assessment under "B" Class Article criteria. Thank you. Anonshoon (talk) 00:10, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as B class by Tpbradbury. G.A.S^talk 04:42, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Naomi (novel) - found this, rated B by the novels project and stub by WP:J. Not sure if either of those ratings was correct, would like a re-rating. --Malkinann (talk) 01:52, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as C. G.A.S^talk 04:40, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Greeeen - I am requesting an importance level assessment. An editor recently changed the importance from Low to Mid, and while I don't believe it quite meets mid-importance, I'd like another opinion. Sorafune +1 18:36, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as "C" and "Low"

• Foujita - please give this an importance level assessment. Much work needs still to go into the article - bu tthe importance of Foujita as a leading memeber of the Schoolof Paris and Japan's most successful artist in the Western style should not go unrecognised. His influence on other artists such as Mogdiliani and Picasso is recognised (although not in the srticle) by notable sources. I would consider this to be an 'important' subject - and will try to put more time into it over the coming months Kunchan (talk) 15:42, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as start and mid importance. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 07:43, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Saikei appears to have transcended the current "stub" status banner, and may be worth evaluating in the "importance" scale as well. Sahara110 (talk) 18:52, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as C class and mid importance. The article needs to be expanded a little more and could use a few more references to help flesh things out a little more. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 07:48, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Bonsai cultivation and care was recently split from the main Bonsai article and might benefit from a "quality" and an "importance" rating from this project. Sahara110 (talk) 19:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as B class and mid importance. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 07:55, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Deadwood bonsai techniques also ties in to the Bonsai article and may fall under the purview of this project. Sahara110 (talk) 19:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as B class and mid importance. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 08:00, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Bonsai aesthetics was split from Bonsai a while back and may benefit from inclusion in this project. Sahara110 (talk) 19:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as C class and mid importance. The article needs more citations, especially in the latter half of the article. Many of the sections in the latter half are very small, too, and should be expanded to be more than one or two sentences (2-3 paragraphs of 2-3 sentences each is usually best to have a basic section fleshed out enough to be a separate section). ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 08:08, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Fusakichi Omori - After learning about Doctor Omori and his rather amazing trip to the U.S. after the 1906 Earthquake, I found there was very little on the Japanese wiki, so I began his page and it was DYK on 17 May 2011. Please assess and rate. Thank you. Ellin Beltz (talk) 16:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • B-class/High-importance. Sorry it's taken so long to get to it. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:42, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Bonsai styles has been split off from Bonsai and significantly expanded and reorganized. I don't know if it makes a big enough change in Bonsai to be worth a re-evaluation to that article, but it would be helpful to get an evaluation of Bonsai styles. Thanks! Sahara110 (talk) 20:42, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • C-class. Needs more in-line citations.Boneyard90 (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Fires in Edo. Mostly a literal translation from jawiki, with some major cleanup. Request for initial assessment. Kxx (talk | contribs) 04:04, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • B-class/High-importance. Assessed on 11Feb12. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:52, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Dodonpa - I expanded this stub class article. Please reassess! Thank you:) NutmegReport (talk) 15:26, 26 February 2012
  • B-class/Mid-importance. Boneyard90 (talk) 18:53, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• International Boy Scouts, Troop 1 - Article has been changed to prose, expanded, and citations added. Please reassess. Thank you! Yokohama1 12:33, 04 August 2012

Still C-class, for lack of in-line citations. There are huge portions of un-referenced material. Boneyard90 (talk) 19:38, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Galneryus - Clearly better than start. Xfansd (talk) 04:04, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • C-class, as it lacks sufficient in-line citations. Boneyard90 (talk) 19:46, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• ClariS - Well it does have a good amount of sources, and it does appear to be well-written. I could assess it myself, but I would want some sort of approval first. Surely it isn't start class, it should at least be C-class. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:31, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • B-class. See Talk page for comments. Boneyard90 (talk) 12:05, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• LiSA - because practically all statements in the article are sourced, I'm pretty sure it isn't Start-class. Maybe C or B class? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:22, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • C-class. Although the prose, grammar, references, etc are adequate, the text of the article is too short at present to fulfill Coverage. Boneyard90 (talk) 11:26, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Masanobu Fukuoka – I've just done some more work on it, after a break, and know much more source checking work and other work that needs to be done on it, so would seriously appreciate reviewer's (different and experienced people's) serious criticisms and evaluations of it. i have had serious difficulties with this article's bias, pieces of POV writing, poor sources pretended by editor as excellent sources, and insidious mis-sourcing devils–in–the–details, etc. Thanks in advance. ——--macropneuma 23:45, 1 January 2013 (UTC) ——--macropneuma 23:53, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed as B-class. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Omoiyari Yosan - I just did a little work to bring it up to date and did a fair amount a couple years ago when it was on the cleanup list. I can think of some places where it could be improved, but it's definitely beyond Start-class at this point, IMHO. Cckerberos (talk) 07:43, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed B-class. - Boneyard90 (talk) 18:54, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Aya Hirano - I have sourced most of the remaining unsourced statements. Is it ready for C-class? Also, Hirano is one of the most popular voice actresses (at least during her peak) and was also very influential, so is she Mid-importance? My plan is to work on the article until it is ready for B class. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:40, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed B-class. - Boneyard90 (talk) 20:14, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Funkist - This article is translated directly from Wikipedia Japan. So some user have put some notability but are not enought to qualify as good content article. I really want to make this article at least for B-class. SNN95 (talk) 00:34, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • This article is definitely still a Start-class. It has a summary in the form of a bullet-list, instead of full-text description, lacks sources, and supporting materials. - Boneyard90 (talk) 21:18, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Nichiren Buddhism Lately tried to clean up the article and added some more reference and interwiki link. Wonder if anyone could reassess the article / advise maybe even. Please notice the talk page – some heated debates were involved in that process.--Catflap08 (talk) 10:45, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed B-class. - Boneyard90 (talk) 21:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Nichiren Shū Has been considerably edited since last rated. --Catflap08 (talk) 11:58, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Assessed C-class. Half the overview section is un-sourced, references are un-formatted, and the banner at the top of the article expresses concern that too many sources are primary sources or are biased. - Boneyard90 (talk) 21:26, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• LiSA - It's been around one and a half years since my last request for assessment. Should be just long enough for B-class. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Assessment#Requests for assessment, where the article has a pending request (note to assessing user: if possible, (re)assess it for the Anime WikiProject as well).

    • Sorry, the page got moved, I sort of forgot about it. The article is now at LiSA (Japanese musician, born 1987). Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 17:31, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article has been improved. Assessed B-class. - Boneyard90 (talk) 17:58, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• World Order (band) – is this good enough to be improved from a stub class to at least start class? I tried my best to improve the article. Also, any advice for improvement would be helpful. Thanks! Mixsmirai (talk) 08:37, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re-assessed B-class. - Boneyard90 (talk) 01:03, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reassessed B-class. - Ash-Gaar (talk) 8:38, 7 October 2 (UTC)

• Takamagahara - I added a lot of new paragraphs and relevant images. Also, I gathered great amount of academic articles as references; I tried my best to collect sources written in English but some of them are in Japanese. The stub had only a few sentences before my edit, so I would deeply appreciate it if someone could reassess the stub and see what class it is currently in. Thank you very much for your help and corrections! Wiki3689 (talk) 18:11, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reassessed B-class. - Boneyard90 (talk) 01:00, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Mizuage - I've tried my best to improve this article, and though it's only got five sources, I think I've lifted it above start-class now. I've included some relevant inline citations to back up certain important points (this being an article about a tetchy subject related to historical sex work), and one blockquote which I feel serves well to drive the point of the article home - also well-served by being a first-hand account of the article's subject and discussing the changes that have taken place in the karyukai since WW2 in relation to mizuage.
  I'm unfamiliar with article assessment and don't truly know what someone else would put this article down as, so I'd really appreciate some input. Thank you! --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 23:08, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Wagakukodansho - Quite unfamiliar about how assessment work. I was just starting to work on the article and it got put into a Draft:Wagakukodansho to incubate for lack of reference before I even had time to put any efforts in it (it was a single sentence at the time). Anyway, I did spend some time after that to make it as readable as possible, it's probably even more referenced than the Japanese wiki article now. I'd really like an external opinion/review about it as it is a first starting point for some further input on Education during Edo period. I am not sure if the format for Japanese is correctly used.
