-The Japanese Wikipedia version of this article is undergoing a significant upheaval right now. It has leaned (according to non Japanese scholars) fringe and excessively denialist for around 10+ years now. A few weeks ago, a few users managed to make a significant rewrite more in line with the international consensus that managed to stay up for a week or two. It's since been reverted and they've been defending their version ever since, but they're a minority.

-:Good news: it appears they've successfully defended their revision. However, we'll need to be consistently vigilant. Very plausible that the article will creep back to revisionism. [[User:Toobigtokale|toobigtokale]] ([[User talk:Toobigtokale|talk]]) 22:07, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
-:It's down to one person opposing the change now; they've been desperately trying to push back against it. They just tagged everyone who edited the article since 2020 to stir up discontent lol... [[User:Toobigtokale|toobigtokale]] ([[User talk:Toobigtokale|talk]]) 13:35, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
-== Second paragraph ==
-P2, "The speed of the army's advance was likely due to commanders allowing looting and rape along the way." imho requires either a citation or removal. The event itself is truly horrific, but I don't know how a link could be established between rape and the speed of a military's advance.
-Looting is perhaps a different story as a reasonable link can be made between that and not needing a supply chain. But still a reference is preferable to a bald assertion. [[User:Born-in-nude|Born-in-nude]] ([[User talk:Born-in-nude|talk]]) 17:30, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
