Tsunami stone in Japan

• ... that tsunami stones (example pictured) serve as warnings for tsunamis in Japan?

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Benjamin Schreiber (criminal)
• Comment: Very short article only just passes the minimum length requirement by 100 characters.

Overall: New enough, long enough; Sourced, neutral, and free of copyright violations; Image is free, clear at 100px, and used within the article; QPQ provided. A couple of concerns regarding presentability given below:

• "About 1,500 earthquakes that are strong enough to be felt by humans occur in Japan every year, with the 80 per cent of the world's major earthquakes and tsunamis occurring within the country or in close proximity to it." is inaccurate. The 80% figure is for the Ring of Fire, which includes places as far as California and Chile.
• "The stones help remind people, as it takes about three generations of people telling their descendants about disasters before they are forgotten." - This is an opinion, and shouldn't be presented as an encyclopedic fact. It can be quoted, like it is in the source.

• Thanks for the Ring of Fire part. For some reason I had confused it with the 18% mentioned earlier in the article. Fixed now. I've also turned that forgetting part into a quote as you've suggested but don't quite understand what you mean by it being an opinion. ―Panamitsu (talk) 01:20, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go. Its just the professor's opinion; Oral tradition can last a long time. -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 13:48, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
