Quick redirect question

There's a new redirect, サクラ, could someone please quick check if it's accurate? Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 09:02, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Etymology of toponyms (description of place names)

Is there a policy on explaining the kanji used in place names? E.g. Japan says "the characters 日本 mean "sun origin", in reference to Japan's relatively eastern location". It seems like those articles that do have such info include it in an Etymology section which is the first section after the lead. If I do add such info to articles I'll follow that model, but I wondered if there were any existing guidelines. --Cornellier (talk) 16:18, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

January withdrawals due to COVID-19 protocols

Hi everyone! Thought this might be a good place to ask this question, if it has not been discussed already... with dozens of wrestlers sitting out because of issues related to COVID, would their individual career records still be listed as “sat out due to injury”, or would it be more appropriate to say something like “stable withdrew due to COVID-19 positives”? JRHorse (talk) 20:48, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Infections* ... not positives. JRHorse (talk) 20:49, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Help with Draft:Ujihiro Iga

Hello, I recently translated this article on Ujihiro Iga (伊賀氏広) from the Japanese original. (ENG: Draft: Ujihiro Iga) (JPN: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BC%8A%E8%B3%80%E6%B0%8F%E5%BA%83) However, the submission was denied for a lack of sufficient sources. Lately I have not been able to find the time to finish research - could someone please help out with this? Thank you. Yosoemon (talk) 01:44, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
