Ozeki rank changes in the article's body

[edit]

I see a lot of changes in the body of the article from non-registered visitors to change Hoshoryu's rank to "ozeki". In the same way as it was discussed for Kirishima, I'd like to point out that it would be a good idea to wait for, at least, the swearing-in ceremony before referring to him as ozeki. Some might even argue that it is better to wait until the banzuke, which is the only proof that a rank has actually been exercised. Anyway at this point, Hoshoryu is "only" a sekiwake with the certitude of being promoted, not an ozeki effectively. - OtharLuin (talk) 19:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly an editor on ja wiki appears to have listed him now as ozeki. I bet the news should be coming in any moment now. JRHorse (talk) 23:51, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And on that note, the sumo association has just made it official. JRHorse (talk) 23:54, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020 results

[edit]

So that no one makes a mistake, the number of P (for playoff) for the July 2020 tournament is not a mistake. Hoshoryu faced 5 other wrestlers for the title, and the method of presentation is to add a P for each wrestler (other than the one in the article) involved in the playoff. The two P's previously posted do not really reflect the reality of the playoff by only mentioning the three wrestlers who passed the first stage of the playoff. - OtharLuin (talk) 06:55, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
