Mount Akakuradake (赤倉岳, Akakura-dake) 1521 m

Hi Mccunicano, I'm currently working on the map, and I'm trying to locate this mountain in the northerm group (I found one with the same name in the southern group). Can you help with any exact coordinates? Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello once again, the Smithsonian reference has a section that mentions the coordinates and heights of several of the peaks. I hope that helps. Interestingly enough, the reference clashes with what was written before I ever touched the article as the peak's height, though the sign seen here at the peak clashes with both this reference and what is written in the article. I would personally list the elevation as written by the Smithsonian source, I just assumed good faith on the book source included as a reference for the peaks, but I'm not so sure about after seeing this big of a discrepancy. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 14:14, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

After further investigation the sign is probably based off of this map produced by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. The map link should be centered at 40.669039 N 140.880539 E where the peak is. This map is more up to date than the Smithsonian source as well, it even includes the remeasured peak of Mount Takada-Odake which happened just earlier this year. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 14:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, that's useful. Amitchell125 (talk) 17:24, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the revision in the article. Before I approve the hook, might I suggest working the figure of 70,000 into the hook and article? That is truly a staggering loss, and might prove more interesting than "many". If you feel the current wording is superior that is fine also. All the best, 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 14:44, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps you would like to explain now your unexplained reversion of clearly constructive edits to the page? You have reinstated things that are grammatically wrong and others that are contrary to MoS. Nedrutland (talk) 13:49, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

I though I had typed up an explanation for that revert, whoops. We're going through an ice storm where I'm at so my internet keeps cutting out. I saw the spacing error you added and double-link to the motorway, so I reverted it. What is the MoS issue here? ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 13:56, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

 Self-trout After all of this editing, I just now noticed that Barnsdale Forest is a redirect. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 14:14, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes the double wl to Barnsdale was one; also there is no need to put a 'see also' for a link in the body (in this case Robin Hood). I added a link to A1(M) at its first appearance but allowed the by-pass link to remain as it went to a specific section. I have now made a further edit.

Prep 3

Hi, I just noticed that you requested a November run date for your nomination Template:Did you know nominations/24 Japan. In future, please ask the reviewer to move it to Special Occasions or post at WT:DYK to get it promoted. I managed to get it into the November 30 set. I edited the hook since we try to ascribe credit for statements like these, and you'll also see that I removed the part about low levels of gun violence in the article since none of that was specifically mentioned in connection with 24 Japan in the sources. Best, Yoninah (talk) 22:53, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: Thanks for working it in to that prep area and making those edits, you're a DYK wizard!
