Talk:Aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami

image usage in Intl Response section

cross posted at main Tsunami page for response

The issue we have an editor who seems interested in removing images of Japanese civilians working with US teams, in the International Response section, and keeps adding an closeup image of US navy personnel only. The best I can tell is the problem being that too many images are from the US marines in the editors opinion, and they want more from the US navy. So I have used a new image USN sourced image (again of civilians and sailors combined) I hope this is enough but I would appreciate other editors keeping an eye on the subpage until this gets sorted out. 66.220.113.98 (talk) 18:53, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

OECD economic outlook

I added two OECD links discussing the impact on the economy. The Bank of Japan officials expect that the economy will pick up in the second half of 2011 as supply constraints disappear, although they admit that there are uncertainties. Instead of speculations, we need careful assessments here. Please take a look at these reports. --Shinkansen Fan (talk) 03:00, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Sport event

I will remove some less notable or unsourced events from the list and put them here. Feelfree to discuss. I have rough criteria in mind, but typing them would be too long. Circeus 01:50, May 12, 2011 (UTC) The years are missing from the copied elements.

Disruption to Japan's electricity supply, longer term

As it stands, this article is largely based on reactions in the first days and weeks after the main earthquake. I hope it will be rewritten with later information.
In the months following, the supply of electric power in much of Japan has been reduced a lot. There is the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, of course, but I think many of Japan's other power plants also went off line. At first, there were massive rolling blackouts, with all the consequent disruption. To prevent that, millions of ordinary Japanese have reduced the amount of electricity they use. This means, for instance, changing the settings of their thermostats and hence the clothes they wear.
Where to cover this isn't obvious. It might go in this "Aftermath" article, in Electricity sector in Japan, or somewhere else. Oaklandguy (talk) 07:02, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

There are Japanese articles on the power crisis last summer, this winter (now), and next summer as well as peak power cuts and shifts, voluntary and mandatory energy saving, and the energy policy debate. We can add material by translating from this ja:東日本大震災による電力危機. I think this is more like a medium-term topic, rather than longer term. --Shinkansen Fan (talk) 06:42, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Rtnews template

I've removed the Russia Today news template from the page, as it had raised concern because it pointed to a single trending news page, rather than a selection of trend pages, and after discussion in the appropriate places, it's easier to remove it than it is to add lots of other trend pages, as I don't know of any (don't have time to look). If there are any comments, concerns, or suggestions please reply on my talkpage, as I don't watch this page. Penyulap ☏ 05:03, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
