- I guess we should avoid the dabate about if the title should contain a word Japan or not. As you see, we certainly conflict in this point. Once again, please imagine actual usage.
- If they do a wordsearch with Japan, Godaigo of Japan would come up.
With tons of irrelevant articles. If the readers are doing research about Emperor of Japan, they would and should go to the article, Emperor of Japan and they can see the complete list of Emperors. Actually you are missing the whole point at all. This is not about use-friendly vs accuracy. Putting of Japan doesn't contribute any usability. Umm, they are interested in any articles related to Japan, then they certainly will go to Japan article first then find List of Japan-related topics. Your example simply doesn't happen in practice. I know what you mean, if the readers see the bunch of names that don't sound English at all and probably have no idea who are they, where they are from. Relax this is not the case. There is no such list in the first place. The only exception is a list in List of Emperors of Japan. But the context is perfectly clear. Who will wonder about the list of names in the article named with Emperor of Japan.
But anyway, again we don't have to dispute about this because both of our proposal contain Japan anyway. So actually I don't see your point. -- Taku 02:23 29 May 2003 (UTC)
Sorry Taku, we are talking at cross purposes. In any case as I have said, I think both proposals are fine. I am marginally more in favour of one rather than the other, but both will work. Wikilove. FearÉIREANN 02:36 29 May 2003 (UTC)
