Requesting merger of Shimamaki District, Hokkaido

Does anyone speak Japanese?

I'm trying to eventually get Jehovah's Witnesses to FA and I'd appreciate a second set of eyes from an experienced editor who can understand the sources cited in the Japan section. Is anything missing? Are the sources being misinterpreted? If it is, don't blame me (I didn't add the content in question). I just want to make sure everything is on the up and up. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 11:15, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I can only read and understand some of it. The "Japan" section on the Criticism is okay. (The english NHK source already confirms it). Though I hope a more proficient than me looks into it though. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:07, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found this Asahi article in English which is a pretty good represantation of the Japanese Asahi article already used: https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15052469

The Japanese Asahi article is paywalled after a certain point though, but what I want to point out about the Japanese articles and that English Asahi article, is that the people who did the survey finding these cases of abuse were not doing so at the behest of the government (they only did it after the government put out new guidelines of what's considered abuse in a religious context). The survey results were passed on to the government, but this makes me wonder if it is best to put this under a heading called "Government interactons".

The English NHK article just says the survey was done by a "team of lawyers", and doesn't really clarify that the survey was carried out by an independent organization.

I also question the term "investigation" used in the Wiki article. Investigation sounds a bit more in depth than what they did. It was an internet survey. There's nothing I can find that implies they verified these claims or found evidence to support them (though it does say some respondents spoke directly to psychiatrists).

Honestly, that English Asahi article is probably a better source than the NHK one. The NHK one has some pretty bad translations. Erynamrod (talk) 16:19, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
