Appropriateness of wartime cartoon's inclusion?[edit]
Does anyone else think it's a fairly obvious WP:WEIGHT issue when the article includes only three images, two of which are the logo and the owner of the company with the then-president, and the third is an obscure editorial cartoon from 1942 that gives the impression the JT is still of a pro-war government-compliant propaganda rag it no doubt was at the time? I am sure Sankei Shimbun contained similar cartoons in the 40s, but its article doesn't contain such images. The article's text is also slightly tilted in favour of covering the paper's wartime propaganda era, but that cpuld be fixed by adding more coverage of the rest of the history: the image could only be theoretically balanced out by inclusion numerous more recent cartoons, an utterly ridiculous idea that would probably be a copyvio, since I doubt it would qualify under fair use. Anyone opposed to me removing it? Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 11:05, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note also that this would be a much better description of the paper's cartoon content. Also, note the reason they rejected this far less inflammatory strip was the word "gaijin". Amazing.Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 15:40, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
