[edit] Japanese toilet
Absolutely fascinating article mostly by User:Chris 73. A great example of the sort of thing that Wikipedia collaboration comes up with. Yelyos 02:36, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the positive comments! Guess I must have found a good topic ... but then with me being in Japan you could say that I am sitting at the source. I was planning to polish the article a bit more and then nominate it myself, but Yelyos beat me (and others) to it. Will add a reference section soon. Also, hopefully I can visit the Toilet museum by Inax in Tokyo this weekend, and get some more info. -- Chris 73 Talk 05:36, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Why do Japan and scatology always seem to go hand in hand? Zh 03:04, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support, with reservations. I almost nominated this myself a couple of days ago. But I want to see the spelling and all cleaned up. Shorne 03:06, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support. Now, if there are no non-Japanese interested in such topic as scatology and Japanese don't keep a good record of everything and keep inventing great products, surely one wouldn't see such articles. What you see is a reflection of what you wants to see. Revth 05:02, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support. I meant to nominate it myself, but was lazy. --Golbez 05:20, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

Object barely. There is no explicit references section. There are several external links mentioned, but is it unclear if they are references. In addition, please use the style at Wikipedia:Cite sources. I would also prefer to see written works added, or to a "further reading" section if none were used.Consider this as my support when changes made. Jeronimo 06:42, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- I think we should also have a "further reading while on the toilet". - Ta bu shi da yu 22:41, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Support. Another brilliant example of why Wikipedia is such unique treasure. Zerbey 00:37, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support. I don't think I've voted here before, but this article makes me want to move to Japan. Dori | Talk 23:42, Oct 17, 2004 (UTC)
- Support. My friend had told me about all this but I'd only half-believed it and never seen photos! eterata 04:37, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- yes! kickass! i am glad someone else shares the same fascination as i. woohoo! Natelipkowitz 04:39, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Tiny objection - the line: "Currently, over 50% of the Japanese households have high-tech shower toilets worldwide, and Japanese companies currently produce some of the most advanced high tech toilets worldwide." (in the intro) doesn't read quite right to me. Grinner 13:47, Oct 18, 2004 (UTC)
