Where is Ojima Island

In your list is Ojima Island. I am not sure which Ojima Island you are referring to. Can you provide some more information? Thanks! --imars (talk) 08:56, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

If I wasn't strapped for time I'd look more but couldn't find it initially. When I go out looking for things to add to the list I tend to blindly add red links that look important. I'll look into it later today. ミーラー強斗武 (talk) 09:39, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

You know, I honestly can't find an "Ojima Island" anywhere... Thanks for catching that. ミーラー強斗武 (talk) 18:42, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

How about 奥武島 (おうじま) in Tamagusuku? I think it's probably minor in importance for an article here, but could be on the list to tackle at some point. Computermacgyver (talk) 12:26, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Red wikilinks (and other issues)

I have been editing around Ryukyu the past few days, and there are a few red links that probably could be added to your to do list, namely:

• Second Shō Dynasty (via Tamaudun)
• First Shō Dynasty - assuming if a 2nd is created, a 1st is needed too
• senkotsu (via Tamaudun)
• Yosoidon / Shō Shoku (via Shō En)
• Chūzan Seifu (via Ryukyu Kingdom)
• Lew Chew Compact / Matsuda Michiyuki / Shō family / Shō family head / Maruichi Shōten (via Shō Tai)
• Shō Shō (via Shō Ten)
• Shō Mamoru (via Genealogy of the Shō Dynasties)
• Kankaimon / Gusuku period (via Shuri Castle and Gusuku)
• Akakina Castle / Bure Castle / Shimotabaru Castle / Ikei Castle (via Gusuku)
• Yayoi language / Irabujima (via Japonic languages)
• Prince of Nakagusuku - I have added a few details, and an anchor tag, on the Nakagusuku, Okinawa page, but I'm sure it probably deserves its own page.
• Nakagusuku udun - a sub-palace in Shuri Castle and home to the Prince of Nakagusuku (it should be mentioned on the Shuri Castle page as a previously existing yet currently destroyed building)

Other:

• Tamaudun states that 18 kings are buried there, but the list only contains 17 names (one was a crown prince that I moved to the "non-king" list)
• Nakagusuku redirects to Nakagusuku Castle which can be annoying when one is searching for the town.
• I also plan to make a template for Ryukyu's various castles.

@Jabberjawjapan: I've noted many of these before, but I don't have a lot of free time currently. There are a few things I can say about some of them. I've just never gotten around to making separate articles for all the Ryukyuan dynasties (more than just the two Shō dynasties), but it needs doing. Yosoidon is another name for Ogiyaka/Ukiyaka, who needs an article. An article for Chūzan Seifu can be based on information from Sai On, and we have a copy of it at Chinese Wikisource. The Lewchew Compact needs an article. The Shō family is the Second Shō Dynasty. The Gusuku period needs an article, and the Sanzan period article needs to be rewritten. I haven't been able to find any sources to write an article on Gusuku from Amami or Miyako. Yayoi language is outside our scope, but Irabu Island needs an article. Nakagusuku Udun is technically not part of Shuri Castle, but part of Shuri City like other noble residences and could have its own article. The Tamaudun discrepancy should be easy to fix if I look through some sources. Nakagusuku, it depends on page views. And thanks for making that template, it comes in handy. Sorry for the block of text, glad to have you helping out! ミーラー強斗武 (StG88ぬ会話) 06:44, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
