Talk:Rofū Miki

Read me

This draft is a translation of the German Wikipedia article, using Google Translate followed by some hand editing. It's very much a work in progress. Mortee (talk) 22:00, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

To do

• Put in all the references
  • Have not added all the Japanese references from the other languages' articles yet, but have added several mentions in English-language books Mortee (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
• Check translation (e.g. of the 'order of merit' vs 'medal of honor' towards the end, and of 'took care of' earlier)
  • Cut 'take care of' as dubious. Would still like certainty on 'order of merit' vs 'medal of honor', but as far as I can tell, 'medal of honor' is accurate Mortee (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
• Is 'Haien' 'Sharks'? Per Angles 2011, that work is called The Ruined Garden but the works list includes nothing else at the same time. Google translate says that 'Haien' means 'pneumonia', which does not help at all.
  •  Done a weird artifact of the Google Translation, now corrected Mortee (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
• Try to find English translations of the works' titles
  • Filling these in as I find them Mortee (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
• Check formatting of Japanese - should it have spaces or not?
  •  Done I think this was an artifact of the transfer, and have removed the spaces. Mortee (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
• Add infobox
  •  Done Mortee (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
• Check if this should be Miki Rofū or Rofū Miki, add template or similar to explain which is the given name
• Include his birthname and find out when he started using the pseudonym
• Double check dates - overlap of magazine work and teaching literature
• Add data-keys from German page
• See if more works need listing; they stop midway through his life in this listing, which may or may not be accurate
• Is this image of a wall built in honour of him and Akatombo? If so, mention it
  •  Done
• (After creation) add categories
• (After creation) add links from any other pages that mention him, and mentions to other pages that should e.g. Akai tori
• (After creation) find out dates and classes for the two awards and add him to their recipient lists

Inconsistencies?

The British Museum has a biography that suggests 1920-1923 for his time in the monastery, not 1916-1924. It also suggests he used his pseudonym primarily for Catholic writing, though, which doesn't seem to fit with the other coverage I've seen. Mortee (talk) 01:41, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Miller 2010 (see page refs) confirms several pieces of information but loses a good deal of its credibility by saying he "was later declared a saint by the Vatican" Mortee (talk) 12:53, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
