Requested move 14 December 2015

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. A few things here. First and foremost, while several editors have said the "Gifu, Gifu" construction seems off, it is definitely established in reliable sources for this topic. Additionally, it is clearly the preferred version per MOS:JP#Place names guideline. That said, there's a clear local consensus here for the proposed name "Gifu City", and solid arguments that this name better suits the general WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NATURALDIS policies. As such, I will move the article to the proposed title. It's probable that discussion should continue at the MOS page, as this article (and perhaps others) are now out of step. It was also suggested below that the city may be WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the term Gifu, which would moot the issue in this particular case. There wasn't a consensus for that measure in this discussion, but it may be worth having a second discussion dedicated to that point. Cúchullain t/c 14:46, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]



Gifu, GifuGifu City – It seems to me that "Gifu City" is more commonly used and/or is a bit more of a natural disambiguation than "Gifu, Gifu". Right now all of the cities in Japan that share a name with the prefecture use the "FOO, FOO" format, but this is a first attempt to suggest that this should probably be changed to "FOO City". Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:40, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This has been discussed at MOS:JP numerous times. Changes to the guidelines should come first, not after such a proposal as this. Regardless, I oppose a change to the guidelines. The present format is the most recognisable and natural form of disambiguation that can be used in English for this purpose. There is no need to make an exception to the "city, prefecture" scheme here, as doing so would make the disambiguation system for Japanese cities inconsistent and more confusing. (For convenience, pershRGloucester 23:18, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the order or forum of the discussion is particularly important. The significant thing is that there is ample participation and a resulting consensus. I think many users find the "FOO, FOO" format confusing, so whether or not a change to the guidelines would overall increase or decrease confusion is pretty subjective. (For convenience, perhaps you could link here to one or more of the previous discussions on this issue that you are aware of.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:42, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You personally reverted last changes to the guideline [1] even after a consensus at WT:MOS-JA has been reached, so it seems that no process can satisfy your demands. No such user (talk) 16:03, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Consensus" had not been reached. No RfC was held, and editors actually at the pages you wanted to move rejected such changes outright. There was no neutral closing by an uninvolved administrator. No advertisement of an RfC at the relevant article talk pages. Said discussion did not meet the restrictions set forth by WP:CONLIMITED. Regardless, I've come here to say that I support Nihonjoe's proposal to move this article to just Gifu as the best way forward. RGloucester 16:06, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@RGloucester: Per WP:BURO we're not required to have RFCs, neutral closing by uninvolved administrators and whatnot to add one sentence to clarify an universally-hated (well, OK, you seem to like it) guideline. Part of the problem is that whenever a RM from a Silly Title has been proposed, editors could not agree whether to move it to Sensible Title 1orSensible Title 2, and as the guideline tacitly supports Silly Title anyway it ends up in a "no consensus", reinforcing the guideline. When I tried to change the guideline, you demanded {{shrubbery}}, and there we got a catch-22. However, I'm not here just for an argument, and I appreciate your moving forward at least on this particular issue. If it takes a formal RFC and all the shrubbery to change the damn guideline, let's have it. No such user (talk) 16:35, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is not so much that I like the guideline, but that I like a stable consistency, and find the arguments about the weirdness of "Nara, Nara" strange. However, I agree with Nihonjoe that when one says "Gifu" in either Japanese or English, one usually means the city. If one meant the prefecture, one would say so. I also tend to think that when cities give their names to prefectures, it is obvious that the city should take precedence as a primary topic. The only thing that I strongly dislike is "Gifu City" or whatever, as that's an artificial construction that is rarely used to refer to the actual city itself, and is an overwrought translation of the Japanese shi (市). RGloucester 17:47, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Following Nihonjoe's reasoning below, I think moving this article to Gifu and the current contents to Gifu (disambiguation) is an even better option. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 08:07, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There is no functional difference between Nara, Nara, and Kanmaki, Nara. Both refer to cities in Nara Prefecture. If you are so childish as to "giggle" at such a simple form of disambiguating a city from a prefecture of the same name, I do not know why others should take your opinion seriously. RGloucester 04:16, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Whoa, ease up, cowboy. Let's not take ourselves so seriously that we can't allow a user to express some personal humour without deciding that their opinion is of the unserious kind. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:48, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
R Gloucester, you said above that "Gifu, Gifu" is "the most recognisable and natural form of disambiguation that can be used in English for this purpose." I simply cannot believe this, but perhaps it would help if you could show us some examples of places in the English-speaking world where the "FOO, FOO" repetition is used. I know about NY, NY, and the US is a special case, in that there are (I believe) lots of same-named cities in different states, and therefore the "City, State" pairing has become a fixed expression. Perhaps even when not ambiguous, just to remind strangers of where the city is. I seem to remember that it has also been pointed out repeatedly, but the "FOO, FOO" repetition is not in fact used for WP articles on cities in the US: for example Missouri City, Missouri. Your claim of "no functional difference" is quite true in a mathematical sort of way, but whereas to a new reader "Kanmaki, Nara" is obviously some kind of elaboration on "Kanmaki", whereas repeating "Nara" is at least somewhat mysterious.

Requested move 30 December 2015

The result of the move request was: moved. There is a rough consensus that the city's most common name is simply "Gifu" and that the city is the primary topic for all subjects covered by Wikipedia that are known as "Gifu". Jenks24 (talk) 04:53, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]



– In the recent discussion immediately above, which resulted in a rename to "Gifu City", there was support for the position that the city is the primary meaning of "Gifu". A second nomination was suggested in the close to pursue this proposal. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:15, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temperature update

[edit]

Hi there, I'm new to wiki editing etc, but I was wondering if someone could check the temperature records?

I ask because I actually spent time in Gifu in August 2015, and the temperature reached 42C whilst I was there. Not just on my phone or anything, but on the automated sensor signs posted around the city.

So I imagine the record high needs to be updated! But I'm unsure how this is all done. The table's quite intimidating!

Thanks if you're able to help!

Result: Much uncited material. Restoring the pre-restructuring version encounters the same problems. Thus, fails criterion 2. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A GA from 2008. There are is uncited material that needs to be cited. Also the lead is too small for my taste. 1 paragraph is not enough to summarize this article. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An IP user has been completely restructuring a lot of city articles in central Japan; most of these are not watched by many editors. Some of these have been reverted and others haven't, but it is worth considering whether the previous version of the article from prior to July needs as much reworking. At the very least, I think the new gallery added in this edit should be removed. Dekimasu! 02:05, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
