Talk:Militarism-Socialism in Showa Japan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Like other edits by 200.46.*, this article is incoherent and probably a copyvio (I nominated two of the anon's previous contributions earlier today.) The trademarks are atrocious grammar, awkward wording, and having no spacing after commas or parentheses. I hope the article creator is reading this because I'm tired of cleaning up after him! (I'd leave a message on his talk page if he didn't use so many IP addresses.) --Ardonik.talk()* 00:26, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
- The English is bad. Some of the articles are copyvio, but most are not. Please do not use VfD needlessly for these articles - they gradually get cleaned up, and VfD is not the place for them. (I keep a list to monitor them, and feel quite strongly that hostile talk about articles by non-native speakers of English falls well below WP's best standards).

Some information said about along this "official finish" of these ideology activities, certain Showa nationalism followers, represent by Japanese Army continuing the last-stand fight, against Allied forces represent for Russian Red Army, in defense of Japanese Empire soil in Konan fortress, Chosen (Korea) Province, until November 1945. Others wartime rumors alleged why during U. S. Navy Admiral Richard Byrd intervention in "Operation Highjump" South Pole action against suppose German Nazi Bases (Neue Berlin or 211 Base, Schwabenland and Asgard) in Queen Maud land, during January-February 1947, between defenders of these pretend installations stay some Japanese units too. Theirs supposed arriving by ultra-long range submarines in previous times at final of conflict.
[edit] WPMILHIST Assessment
Judging from the talk page, I suppose this is already known, but I'll spell it out anyway. This article needs some serious clean-up for grammar, spelling, and overall organization, if not for downright content. The introduction is far too dense and opaque - launching immediately into a sociology/ideology sort of perspective, with lots of esoteric terminology, and not from a cleaner, more accessible historical perspective. Should read "Militarism-Socialism is a term sometimes used to describe the ideologies which guided Japanese government policy in the 1920s through the end of World War II. The term was first coined by ... who described it as ...." or the like.
This, like the many other articles on Japanese World War II ideology, is representative of a portion of a massive scholarly discourse, and while far too much of that is similarly opaquely written, we would do well to smooth it out and explain out the concepts clearly. Due to the controversy and widespread interest in the subject, as well as the depth of discourse available, this could be an excellent article if it gets some serious attention.
