Japan Flag Carriers

On the list of flag carriers page they are mentioned as flag carriers, but not on thier own respective pages, why not? AJIndoraptor16 (talk) 03:10, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

I do not think the presence of JAL/ANA on List of flag carriers is, by itself, a sufficient reason to describe either airline as 'one of the two flag carriers of Japan' in the opening sentence of the individual airline articles. Per WP:V and WP:BURDEN, a challenged claim needs an inline citation that directly supports the wording in the article where it appears. Wikipedia articles also should not be used as sources for other Wikipedia articles.

My concern is not that the term 'flag carrier' can never be used for JAL or ANA. Rather, the wording 'is one of the two flag carriers of Japan' presents this as a current, defining status. For that to belong in the first sentence, I think we would need reliable, independent sources that discuss this status clearly, not just casual uses of 'flag carrier' in travel/news articles.

If suitable sources can be found, I would be open to wording such as 'has been described as one of Japan's flag carriers' elsewhere in the article. Without that, 'is a Japanese airline' or 'is a major Japanese airline' seems more suitable for the opening sentence. Morvellane (talk) 03:22, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

So shouldn't the two airlines be removed form the List of flag carriers page? If they don't have refutable sources as to verifying them as flag carriers, they should be removed form that page. AJIndoraptor16 (talk) 03:28, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Yes, if the sources there do not directly verify JAL/ANA as flag carriers, those entries should probably be removed. Morvellane (talk) 03:39, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

List of Asian countries by average wage

I have no time to edit everything and add the sources because the formatting drives me crazy. I will just point out that the original figures about Taiwan was a single month figure and did not include bonuses and overtime, which are substantial for Taiwan. If my link isn't comparable with the article's methodology, nor is yours. And you can use this one instead which is the 2025 average. Average annual wage was 883,000, divided by 12 you'd get the correct number. This also includes part-time employees so you can multiply pro rata (5% part-time or foreign labor), so average for full time would be 929,474 in 2025.

For Japan and Korea I would prefer to use official sources rather than OECD figures which look way too high to me. Greysholic (talk) 19:50, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

Your edit contains several errors about the very statistics you are citing.

Taiwan: The NT$883,000 figure is total labour compensation, and not wages. Your own source explicitly distinguishes NT$761,000 in wages from NT$122,000 in non-wage compensation. Your subsequent adjustment to NT$929,474 is also mathematically unjustified: excluding 5% of workers does not mean dividing average earnings by 0.95. Your bureau of statistics has already published the actual 2025 average annual earnings of full-time Taiwanese employees: NT$806,448.

Japan: The JPY 340,600 figure you cited excludes overtime and bonuses, whereas the OECD figure includes them. The proportion of earnings paid as bonuses, and the timing of those payments, vary between countries. Excluding bonuses therefore makes international comparisons misleading, particularly when some countries' figures include them and others do not. This is precisely why annual earnings, including bonuses, should be used for every country.

OECD: Your claim that its figures 'look way too high' is not a valid argument. The OECD uses official Japanese and Korean government data, with its methodology explicitly documented in Taxing Wages 2026. For Korea, the OECD's 2025 estimate is KRW 56,749,797, while the Korean authorities' own estimate is KRW 59,908,740 (Table A A.6), which is actually 5.6% higher than the OECD figure. On what evidence are you rejecting these figures? Wikipedia is not a place where you can slect figures on the basis of what feels right to you. Morvellane (talk) 23:10, 29 October 2026 (UTC)
