Journey to the West

At this point, I won't push my angle any further, because I feel it's not worth it and that you probably have a good reason for including those links. So, good luck with everything there. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 02:56, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Oh, you never offended me- I just have had a different perspective on things. The consensus has seemed to be leaning towards their inclusion, so it's all good! ;) DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 03:23, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited United Nations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page United State. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Allies of World War II

The reason I changed your edit was because the UK were involved from 1939 whereas the USA entered the war 1941. Regards Denisarona (talk) 15:02, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Japanese deaths in Manchuria

Thanks for the message, and I agree with you. According to the Japanese Army estimates (as cited in Alvin D. Coox, "Nomonhan: Japan against Russia"), IJA deaths during the 1945 conflict with the USSR numbered 21,389, which is the figure currently present in the infobox for that event. While I am unsure as to the official start date for the Japanese casualty count recorded in the Ministry of Health and Welfare figure of 46,700, subtracting the 21,000+ dead from 1945 plus another 10,000 or so from the 1938-1939 border conflict with the Soviets still leaves about 15,000 to 16,000 deaths that could be attributable to Chinese military action or other causes.

I suspect your concern stems from the '~27,000 missing, captured, or deserted' figure appearing below the total for IJA killed in action. This originated not with me, but from another user who subtracted the Japanese total remaining in Manchuria at the close of hostilities (665,500) from the count made prior to the invasion (714,000) minus the KIA. While I cannot exclude the possibility that the confused nature of that campaign might have lead to Japanese losses being somewhat higher than reported, I'm also wary of that user's methodology because he assumes consistency of accounting between the two (distinct) sources. While I have up to this point refrained from changing or deleting it altogether, I would not consider it a valid number for use in serious discussion of the matter and wouldn't care at all if you altered to removed it.

China Battles

I apologize for the exceedingly lengthy period prior to this response. I have been very busy and forgot you messaged me.

I would consider the casualty tabulations, especially those produced from the Japanese Monographs (postwar military compilations from officers of the former IJA) to be more or less accurate. Based on the descriptions of those battles to have casualty totals in the tens of thousands would suggest entire divisions being destroyed; we know this was not the case. In the West as well as among the KMT these battles were (naturally) played up into great victories, and while they demonstrated the determination and resilience of the Chinese people were hardly hammer-blows against the Japanese Army.

This is not to say Japanese losses were light; prior to 1941 total deaths in the China theater were close to 190,000, ultimately there were nearly 460,000. However, such a total is easily reachable when the daily grind of battle is taken into account (dividing the final Japanese death toll by the number of days of the China war would suggest just over 150 deaths per day across the whole front) and when one remembers that much greater battles (such as Wuhan and Ichi-Go) also took place as well as non-combat losses from disease, et cetera.

Compared to KMT military bookkeeping the Japanese were far more organized and in a better position to keep track of things like battle casualties. That is why I consider them to be a reliable source while I find some 'official' Chinese statistics questionable.

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Miracle dream, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Philippines Campaign

I'll see what I can do about improving the sourcing on the articles you mentioned. Though, even in the Japanese wiki the references are sometimes either vague (such as simply saying "Senshi Sosho" without a page number or volume) or absent entirely. You should see some updates in the near future.
