Terminology
[edit]Given that there's a editor using numerous accounts to try to get the terminology on this article changed, it's worth taking a closer look at the words used in WP:RS currently cited in the article to describe Japanese people in Singapore. To summarise, among five English-language books and one paper cited in this article, all use "residents", with most also using "community". Sources primarily about the post-WWII period also use "expatriates". "Immigrants" and "emigrants" are only really used to describe Japanese in Singapore when discussing pre-WWII residents. Only one source uses "settlers" specifically to refer to Japanese in Singapore (again for pre-WWII residents), and the term "Japanese Singaporeans" does not appear in any of the sources cited. (I haven't looked at the works listed in "Further reading", as only one is available online.)

This largely matches how this article uses those terms: the lede uses "community", most of the article uses "residents", and two sections (and one quote) specifically about recent arrivals use "expatriates". Thanks, 59.149.124.29 (talk) 04:26, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
Issue with including Yuumi Kato in the article.
[edit]This page is about Japanese people in Singapore, however under the section about notable people of that community, it included Yuumi Kato. According to Yuumi Kato’s Wikipedia page, she was raised in Selangor, Malaysia, not Singapore. I’m not familiar with her background so I am not sure which page would have the error. 129.126.10.8 (talk) 10:09, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
