oversimplification[edit]

I changed Kanagawa to Kanagawa, Japan for those English- readers who are not familiar with Japanese prefectures. It could easily be mistaken for a company or a singing group otherwise.

I won't edit war over it, if you delete my contribution again, but I wish you would discuss it further with me before doing so. Arigato! --Uncle Ed (talk) 15:46, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your concern, but that's why the blue links are there. Anyone who got as far as Miyuki Kanbe is certain at least to have a rudimentary knowledge of Japan. Nobody is going to mistake anything for a company or a singing group if they follow the blue links. If they don't/can't make it out from that, I'm guessing they really want MySpace or Twitter, have no idea that this is an encyclopedia, and got here by mistake anyway. It really is unnecessary, but I am glad you're here contributing, and looking out for those folks.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 16:35, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)#Place names says: For prefectures, use the form [[{prefecture-name} Prefecture]] without ken, fu, or to, (e.g., Tochigi Prefecture). Exception: Use Hokkaido without "Prefecture" as this is common usage. Elizium23 (talk) 16:42, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ed, that's a rather silly concern. The article already says "Miyuki Kanbe ... was a Japanese model", which should make the country of birth pretty obvious. If she were Japanese-American, say, then it might be worth including the country, but here it's superfluous. --rpeh •T•C•E• 22:16, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How silly of me. --Uncle Ed (talk) 22:31, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
