:As I said before, I am absolutely not infallible - if something is wrong, please correct it! The site will be better if you do. I just wanted to give a bit of meaning to the Nomenclature sections of what will inevitably be our most popular pages, and try to put my Japanese degree to some use.

::Well, that's the reason I pointed out the Japanese reference websites—they're great for getting a sourced meaning instead of winging it. In other cases (such as names that clearly derive from a placename) the city webpages often have very detailed etymologies. I don't know if it's really possible to come up with accurate meanings for the names just by using Jisho—it doesn't work at all for "Akechi", for instance, which appears to be a glowup of an older name meaning "bad soil" or "bad land". A dictionary would never tell you that. | |||
::I may be able to go through some of your edits, but probably far from all of them (I really only do P5, and this is quite detailed work), and this is after all your project. I do think it might be better to use Japanese sources for future edits like this, if you possibly can? [[User:Vashti|Vashti]] ([[User talk:Vashti|talk]]) 06:20, 24 November 2023 (UTC) | |||
