I'll start the review as part of the backlog drive for this month :D - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 00:08, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed a few prose issues, but I believe I can still help out, if possible.

• The "personal life" section comes off as trivia that adds little to no value to the article itself.
• She befriended Noritaka Moriyama during this time. Who is Moriyama? They're not mentioned anywhere else in the article.
  • In the previous sentence, ending with under the guidance of Shōichirō Kawai and Yasunari Takada, we're introduced to these two people without any explanation on who they are. (I know they're in the infobox but it would still be nice to add some clarification...)
• Finally, I noticed that the Published works section is an excerpt from Kitamura Sae bibliography. It would help to differentiate the section from the bibliography page - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 00:23, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

What is "WikiGap"? - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 00:24, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

"What is "WikiGap"?" meta:WikiGap (Sorry, but I don't get your point so I can only answer a link) Saimmx (talk) 14:10, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Ok, I'll add the link to the page. I was asking for clarification on the event, if that makes more sense - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 17:07, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

1. I am not ready for answer the "personal life" section. For now, I can tell that it is from the character or personage section of Japanese Wikipedia.
2. I may need to understand your meaning of "explanation" - I can add some text like "She befriended Noritaka Moriyama, a sociologist, during this time" or "under the guidance of Shōichirō Kawai, Japanese scholar on English literature, but I am not sure if this is want you want/mean.
3. Finally, let me think about how to arrange the layout of the bibliography page. Maybe we just need to excerpt the leading section.

@Saimmx for #2, adding text is what I had in mind, thanks! :D - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:30, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

I was bold and removed the personal life section, since it came off as trivia, which is not allowed in articles. - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:50, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

I changed my mind about something. The sources section has way too many subsections. Usually, there are primary and secondary sources sections, so the sources should be split up accordingly. Edit: I know that editors have freedom regarding what citation style they can choose, but having this many subsections can be overwhelming... - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 00:40, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Let me think of issues you mentioned a bit after addressing 2023 Taiwanese anti–Indian migrant worker protest. Saimmx (talk) 13:53, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done for the sources section - I decreased the subsections into four (Published journal or books, News coverage, Other independent sources, and Sources by Kitamura Sae) after reading Capri-Sun#References - I think it's okay to have four. While the Capri-Sun has many subsections, you have a point on Kitamura Sae, that there are too many subsections in it. Saimmx (talk) 14:05, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm starting to check the sources, but the first one is a permanent dead link. I'll tag it for now :) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 17:11, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

That's sad :-( Looks like the site blocks content from server once they expired. I have read the content so I know it's true, but I didn't preserve them. This is tricky. Saimmx (talk) 03:44, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Maybe you should rename the header William Shakespeare study to Shakespeare and gender studies, since that covers a wider range of topics Kitamura has studied - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 12:46, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done: Good idea. Saimmx (talk) 14:06, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

@Saimmx please add a link to "杉浦 2020". There's supposed to be an Asahi Shimbun article, right? - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 13:51, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Good news, we have the link: . Bad news, the Asahi paywalled the article. Saimmx (talk) 02:21, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
