Title format
There is a standard format for the titles of articles on monarchs, and there is no reason for Emperor Kimmei to be exempt from this. Just as Emperor Go-Toba of Japan and Richard II of England are listed as such, so should this article be moved back to "Emperor Kimmei of Japan". LordAmeth 12:07, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Gravesite?
Is the gravesite known, or not? The article originally said it was not, providing a source (in Japanese). But then an editor removed "not", without changing the reference. Presumably, the source says it is not. Would someone fluent in Japanese like to check? Aridd (talk) 19:36, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Minor consistency-edit
I changed one instance of "Paekche" to "Baekje" to maintain internal consistency in terminology. I assume no one will object to this. 82.176.221.176 (talk) 09:43, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Lead image
MOS:LEADIMAGE states that: Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic and Lead images are not required, and not having a lead image may be the best solution if there is no easy representation of the topic. Given that many of the drawings of Japanese emperors were made centuries after they lived, and the pictures of the legendary emperors certainly don't depict them accurately, I think such images should be removed from the lead. These are essentially random drawings. Векочел (talk) 22:30, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- Historically, the act of depicting the faces of emperors was considered impolite in Japan. For this reason, portraits of emperors, especially in ancient times, are scarce. However, in modern times, it is worthwhile to include such portraits in encyclopedias because they aid in a clear understanding of history.
- Therefore, the removal of portraits of Japanese emperors without their consent should be stopped. 薔薇騎士団 (talk) 07:53, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
