Climate data for Tokyo (Ōtemachi, Chiyoda ward,[49] 1981-2010) is wrong
and not referring to Tokyo climate. Although it is said to be taken from The Weather Network (not sure how reliable is it), the original is different from what is on main wiki page.
Main page information shows precipitation on winter more than in summer while it is exactly opposite, the smallest count of sunny days in winter than in summer (Tokyo winter is dry, summer has rainy seasons), which is also completely wrong (Tokyo winters are mostly sunny) and temperatures do not look like true as well. 180.43.8.153 (talk) 08:53, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the climate data. It should be right as of now but double check it just in case I make a small error. It could be due to vandalism since the values such as sunshine hours and precipitation should never be rounded. The sunshine hours should be from the JMA, not The Weather Network (not that reliable since the data they used which is based on the WMO climate data for cities from 1961-1990 are rounded).

Wikidata link
I see that this page links to d:Q7473516 in Wikidata rather than to d:Q1490, which would seem the more obvious choice. And most of the other related pages from the disambiguation page don't have Wikidata links at all. What's the rationale here? I ask because I'm trying to figure out the correct link to use in la:Tokium. A. Mahoney (talk) 13:31, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The archived threads show that this subject has been the focus of thoughtful discussion for a long time. Maybe it makes sense to up-date a table which was created by Asakura Akira here in 2010:
You're proposing that la:Tokium be equivalent with :en:Tokyo (this page) rather than with en:Tokyo Metropolis as it is at the moment. This does answer my immediate question (and I think I'll adjust the Wikidata references accordingly); thank you. I'm still thinking about which pages we should have in Latin WP, for which the discussion above is useful. A. Mahoney (talk) 18:26, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
PS: it would be useful if the various English pages mentioned here were linked through the relevant Wikidata items, as this would facilitate figuring out what goes with what. A. Mahoney (talk) 18:32, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There are problems in pigeonholing the subject of Tokyo.The table only tries to show what currently exists, not what is best or better or easy-to-pigeonhole.
Based on the titles, that could be a reasonable solution. But there is really a problem with "Tokyo" versus "Tokyo Metropolis". The current Tokyo article is explicitly about Tokyo Metropolis (and that is the same thing in many other languages). If you want to keep Tokoyo Metropolis, a good part of Tokyo needs to be rewritten, and many templates and internal links updated. --Superzoulou (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please leave the spelling in the original variant, which is American English. That's what the Manual of Style indicates is the proper procedure. Let's follow it -- makes life easier. Thanks! Samuel Webster (talk) 04:44, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Amazon.com Sales Pages Removed
Four external links were routed to amazon.com sales pages. Some noted amazons "search" function, apparently as justification. The same search function is available from a number of non-sales sites. Further, these are not sources used for the article. If a sales page is the only link that can be provided, remove the entire book. Please take it to DMOZ if needed.
