Introducing new translated content

[edit]

I have began introducing new content translated from the coresponding Japanese Wikipedia article. Please be patient while this work is done. Please help by tidying up the markup I have introduced, as it is more efficient for someone else to help tidying up, while I work in two languages and WP mark up at the same time. That would be helpful. Please feel free to ask about anything I'm doing. Dr.khatmando (talk) 02:21, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Translators notes (ongoing)

[edit]

1.0 The Japanese article states that Shimoda took up employment with Daniel Burnham to further his study of steel-fram construction on such projects as the 「アライアンスビル」= Alliance Building. This seems to be a mistake in the transliteration of the Reliance Building listed as one of Burnham's projects listed in the Daniel Burnham article.

I have replaced アライアンスビル with リライアンスビル in the Japanese article. It is mentioned as リライアンスビル in『近代日本の異色建築家』p18 (by 近江栄) and as リライヤンス・ビル in『文明開化の光と闇』p91. Teikan (talk) 06:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2.0 Evidence for the clarification of dates in regards to the following:

  • 1895 Citizenship
  • 1896 Shimoda's marriage to Rose
  • 1897 Shimoda's licensing as a US Architect

are accurate according the research conducted by Ikeda of the Akita Prefectural Museum Dr.khatmando (talk) 08:57, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
