| While this ship is for all points and purposes a carrier, she is officially named a destroyer and the title should remain as such.

| *For comparison the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov was classified as "Heavy Aircraft-Carrying Cruisers" in order to circumvent a treaty that prohibits aircraft carriers from circumventing the Dardanelles or Bosporus strait between the Black sea and the Mediterranean. Despite this, its classification in the West is as an aircraft carrier, because that is what it really and explicitly is. The Hyuga is a helicopter carrier like the British Ocean class (it does not deploy fixed wing aircraft so it is not an aircraft carrier,) that was termed a helicopter destroyer so as to be politically aceptable to a nation prohibited to possess offensive weapons. As was done on the Kuznetsov article, the politically expedient name should be set aside for the name that reflects the true nature and role of the ship, Hyuga Class Helicopter Carrier. ] (]) 23:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

However, are the helicopters this ship's primary asset, or does it have most of the other equipment such as fitted to ASW destroyers, in addition to the large flight deck? The article doesn't answer this question, nor did the Global Security.org page. Until we answer that question adequately, with reliable sources, we really can't say what name is best, other than the one assigned to it, DDH (helicopter destroyer, or ''helicopter-carrying destroyer'' if your mind can't fill in the right info on its own.) - ] (]) 00:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

| <s>Aircraft carrier</s>A credible source cited vs. no sources whatsoever<br> | |||
| This article cites no specific sources, and yet it is entirely credible as written. One short sentence has been added -- one fact only; and this plausibly controversial assertion is supported by a citation from a undisputed source. In my view, this makes the edit somewhat resistant to easy deletion. --] (]) 20:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Responding to 2nd deletion of the same sentence, the edit summary which explained the restoration was this: '''''<font color="green">"in article without sources, deleting the sole citation-supported sentence is untenable"</font>''''' .... In my view, two issues are crucial: | |||
| :*1. In my view, neither well-informed POV nor reasonable consensus amongst a limited number of editors is plausibly sufficient to trump a credibly sourced sentence. If not, why not? | |||
| :*2. The exchange-of-views on this page focuses on demonstrably germane issues, but each contributor overlooks crucial factors which are conventionally outside-the-box in an analysis which parses engineering specs, functional prospects, etc. If outside-the-box, why? | |||

| :::I concur, Nick, and that was my rationale behind removing the cited material. Calling the class "aircraft carriers" with no further qualifications, right after the text makes clear they aren't "aircraft carriers" in the usual sense, would be confusing to readers. Also, putting a analysis sentence like that in the Lead is not necessarily the best place for it either. Note: My non-WP life intervened, preventing me from addessing this earlier. Also, I should have place the removed info here on the talk page when I removed it, as per MOS, but didn't think of it at the time. Sorry for that lapse, but I stand by my removals. - ] (]) 07:56, 12 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :'''Deleted summarily by ]:''' | |||
| :The following was posted on ]'s talk page. His seeming knee-jerk reaction was to delete my modest inquiry with a terse edit summary: "Clean-up - you are a liar, I left NO blank reverts, and I will not engage in a bad-faith confrontational discussion" .... | |||
| :The text which seemingly caused offense is this: | |||
| ::] -- As you know, in ], you've reverted twice without engaging in any discussion. If an unwelcome "edit-war" were to be defined by three blank reverts like yours, then we would be facing a dilemma for which you alone are responsible. I would have thought that a less confrontational strategy would have seemed like a good idea? There are any number of plausible reasons for questioning this single sentence from this article, but you have articulated none save arguably some kind of '']'' fallacy. Why is that? | |||
| ::In an article with no citation of sources, I wonder how you justify removing the sole sentence which is actually supported by a credible in-line citation? --] (]) 07:23, 12 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::According to the article's edit history, Bill has reverted you twice, and explained his reason why each time in his edit summary so I don't understand why you're accusing him of "blank reverts" or referring to "three blank reverts like yours" - the first claim is not true and there's no need to warn him about hitting 3 reverts as he's only up to 2 (the same number as you). He's also apologised for not discussing the changes on this talk page, so why are you rehashing this here? (according to ] it's perfectly fine to remove stuff from your own talk page). I'm also not sure why you keep saying that the article is unreferenced given that it includes links to Globalsecurity.org and other reliable websites. Inline citations would be better, but these are an OK minimum. ] (]) 08:44, 12 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::::These are straightforward, easily clarified matters: | |||

| ::::In a dispute in which one side offers a specific, linked citation to support an edit, and an disconsolate, non-specific complainer merely asserts "bad faith" in lieu of actually citing any contradictory sources, it becomes difficult to divine a more constructive path forward. --] (]) 09:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| <font color="green">'''TWO SIGNIFICANT POINTS'''</font><br> | |||
| In the barking prose above, I have highlighted only two segments with green-colored BOLD font emphasis: | |||
| * ... '''''<font color="green">"in article without sources, deleting the sole citation-supported sentence is untenable"</font>''''' .... | |||
| * ... '''''<font color="green">Exterior links ≠ reference source citation</font>''''' .... | |||
| This is going nowhere unless and until these legitimate ''a priori'' concerns are addressed. Then, maybe, we can begin to move forward constructively. If this appears to represent a perceived obstacle, Misplaced Pages has a range of methods in place for dealing with otherwise intractable disputes. In this context, perhaps it's time to consider seeking mediation or some other intervention. -- ] (]) 10:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ===Controversial sentence=== | |||
| This edit was controversial -- not for any reason articulated above, but nevertheless suspect for a number of eminently valid, important, and arguable factors I expected to discuss here with interested, thoughtful and better-informed editors than me. That hasn't happened yet, but I have no doubt that it will. Moreover, this essential dispute would have arisen in due course without my input. This was and remains the gravamen of my carefully considered decision to post one sentence and one sentence only as a crisp addition to this article's content. | |||
| However, the exchange which has played out above never reached this high ground. Instead, I found that I'm forced to argue -- in words demonstrably consistent with ] -- that ] and ] seem to insist that the beginning and end of all issues to do with JDS ''Hyūga'' lies in maritime architecture. | |||
| Perhaps the following outline from ] can assist us in moving forward: | |||
| * 1 Focus on content | |||
| * 2 Stay cool | |||
| * 3 Discussing with the other party | |||
| * 4 '''Truce <========== Easily achievable?''' | |||
| * 5 Turn to others for help | |||
| ** 5.1 Editor assistance | |||
| ** 5.2 Ask for a third opinion | |||
| ** 5.3 Ask about the subject | |||
| ** 5.4 '''Ask about a policy <========== A good strategic gesture?''' | |||
| ** 5.5 Ask for help at a relevant noticeboard | |||
| ** 5.6 For incivility | |||
| ** 5.7 Request a comment | |||
| ** 5.8 Informal mediation | |||
| ** 5.9 Formal mediation | |||
| ** 5.10 Conduct a survey | |||
| * 6 '''<s>If the situation is urgent</s> <========== Not relevant?''' | |||
| * 7 Last resort: Arbitration | |||
| ''A priori,'' I'm persuaded that the appropriate course for me to try now is to dig in my heels on what seems to me a matter of fundamental Misplaced Pages policy: | |||
| * A. '''''<font color="green">Exterior links are not the scholarly equivalent of in-line citations or reference source citations.</font>''''' .... Yes? No? | |||
| * I note that ] asserts: "I'm also not sure why you keep saying that the article is unreferenced given that it includes links to Globalsecurity.org and other reliable websites. '''Inline citations would be better, but these are an OK minimum.''' (emphasis added) I can't see how this position withstands casual scrutiny; but that having been said, I'm expressing myself in non-confrontational terms when I state modestly that '''''<font color="green">deleting the sole citation-supported sentence is untenable"</font>''''' .... Yes? No? | |||
| I'm not just looking for us to reach some kind of agreement here as a foundation from which to move forward. I'd really appreciate some suggestions about how this could have been handled differently? | |||
| To restate the issues as I parse them: We're mired in a conflict which pits someone with a sentence supported by a cited, competent source trying to push beyond what are, as articulated thus far, naught but the result of "]" or un-"]" personal opinions -- albeit well-informed, on-topic and understandable opinions. Expressed in these stark terms, can you begin to see how I might feel unmoved, adamant and puzzled? --] (]) 16:22, 12 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| * Is the dispute also over whether it is not called a helicopter destroyer versus aircraft carrier for political and not solely technical reasons? If it is simply a dispute as to whether Global Security and Jane's classification of the ship as a helicopter carrier come from a more reliable source, at least in terms of technical details than the PBS documentary, I tend to favor the global security and Jane's sources in this respect.

| === Reaching threshold of an NPOV dispute === | |||
| Initially, I posted a single sentence addition to ]. I believed the edit would be seen as politically controversial in the context of an on-going debate within Japan about whether to amend the legally mandated anti-militarism in Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. The in-line citation accompanying this short sentence was and continued to be the only source cited in this article until a short while ago.<br> | |||
| : "The JDS ''Hyūga'' is the first aircraft carrier to be specifically constructed for Japanese marine forces since the end of the Pacific War."<ref>PBS/WNET, NYC: July 8, 2008.</ref> | |||
| I identify a NPOV controversy affecting any version of the article <u>without</u> this short sentence or something like it, but a quick review of ] reveals that I'm met a great deal of resistance which effectively barred my arriving at the threshold of the discussion I had intended to elicit. | |||
| For the purposes of this tentative analysis, please assume that the following excerpt from a ] summary has accurately interpreted the ambit of the Japanese Constitution as it relates to this subject:<b> | |||
| *"Japan is already one of the world's largest spenders on national defense, and the Japanese Self Defense Force (JSDF) is a robust force, though expenditures are narrowly targeted and essentially protective — they include no long-range bombers or missiles, no aircraft carriers''' or nuclear submarines."<ref name="cfr1">Teslik, Lee Hudson. ''Council on Foreign Relations.'' April 13, 2006.</ref> | |||
| *"The JSDF's naval forces are not allowed to have nuclear submarines or aircraft carriers, which are considered "offensive weaponry."<ref name="cfr1"></ref> | |||
| As many will know, the English Misplaced Pages generally follows the Japanese Misplaced Pages in matters of style and substance; however, this is one of the very rare instances in which we confront an odd exception. In the context established by what I've encountered in the talk page venue, I don't see how a nuanced discussion about POV will become possible without a foundation which encompasses agreement about ], ], ] and ]. | |||
| Plainly, I've not started off well; but there you have it. It was the best I could do for now. | |||
| Questions I'm asking myself are these: What could I have done differently? How can I learn from my mistakes so that I'll have a better chance moving forward constructively as the more difficult aspects of this issue come to the fore? --] (]) 13:52, 13 July 2008 (UTC)<br> | |||

| Forgive me for what may be an oversimplistic view of this content dispute, but the mediation committee posting drew my attention and as far as I can see there's absolutely no reason why a sentence couldn't be included which makes evident the clouded nature of this vessel's classification: could it not simply be said that "The Hyūga class helicopter destroyer has variously been described as an aircraft carrier (insert ref) and also a destroyer (insert ref)."

The ships do not appear to have the ability to embark large numbers of troops and their equipment as is required for the amphibious role, and none of the references states that they do more than ressemble amphibious warfare ships. ] (]) 03:43, 12 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Nick, perhaps someone confused this class with the ]. Btw, the second paragraph there is interesting: | |||
| ::''The class could well be described as helicopter carriers. Globalsecurity.org notes that "the program originated in a proposal for a small carrier for defensive and mine countermeasures (MCM) purposes, but this was deemed politically unacceptable, and the project was reworked as an amphibious ship". The Ōsumi class has a through-deck design to maximise potential space for launching and retrieving its helicopter complement. As a result it resembles a light aircraft carrier. However, The Japanese MSDF does not currently claim any plans to fit them with a ski-jump or other equipment necessary to operate fixed-wing aircraft. Even if so equipped it would be the smallest fixed wing capable aircraft carrier in the world lighter than even the Thai Chakri Naruebet which weighs in at 10,000 tonnes.'' | |||
| :So, referring to the discussion above about the ''Hyūga'', if one calls that ship an "aircraft carrier" without any qualifications, one would also have to call the ''Osumi'' class aircraft carriers, and thus the ''Hyūga'' is not "the first aircraft carrier to be specifically constructed for Japanese marine forces since the end of the Pacific War."

I don't know what to make of the fact that it required your unique intervention to move towards this cooperative, consensus-building teamwork. In this, my reactions were something like ] + ] = ''puzzled''? Although I don't know the original context for the following quotation, a friend of mine often repeats it: | |||

| ::::::], do I need to acknowledge that, absent your posting, an essential element of encyclopedic content would not have been added in mid-2008, maybe not before Spring 2009? If this were correct, why? That unanswerable question seems worth pondering. | |||
| ::::::Re-stating and re-focusing this point somewhat differently: I'm inclined to think that anything to do with these issues would <u>not</u> have been addressed at this time -- in mid-2008 -- if I hadn't pushed hard against ]'s unexplained resistance. Why was there such an intense, reflexive rejection? Why was the antipathy so persistent and so overwhelming? These related questions seem worth further consideration. | |||
| ::::::], among the points which continue to trouble me about your not-to-be-undervalued success is the very word "compromise" -- a perfectly good word to use when working collectively and an essential, irreducible concept in coming to understand anything to do with Japan and the Japanese. In part, I begin by focusing on this one word because it seems evident that, in the future, I need to re-configure my own approach to similar obstacles by making an effort to mirror yours more closely. Quite simply, something about your manner of going about things worked well in this setting and mine did not work as well as I'd have liked. That being said, I'm a little dismayed to admit that I worry about the foundation of implicit give-and-take which was such an easily identifiable element in your consensus-building work. | |||
| ::::::], I wonder if I'm correct in fussing about whether you and your colleagues were too ready to accept the flawed premise which ] asserts with near-religious fervour. Dowling's seeming reliance on ''Jane's Fighting Ships'' as "the gold standard" against which all else must measured becomes too narrow, too cramped, too restrictive. The premise itself bars nuance, which represents a problem to the extent that any Misplaced Pages article needs to differ from its corollary entry in ''Jane's.'' Do you see my point? | |||
| ::::::It may be perceived as muddying the clarity of my argument, but the fact-of-the-matter is that this criticism of what I take to be ]'s point-of-view applies only to our consideration of this one ship class article (which effectively focuses on the as-yet-uncommissioned JDS ''Hyūga'') and <u>not</u> to a review of Misplaced Pages articles about any other vessel in the ]. | |||
| ::::::Whether I point it out or not, the fact-of-the-matter is that some essential aspects of the ultimate Misplaced Pages article about JDS ''Hyūga'' cannot be devolved into issues of nautical terminology, maritime conventions, naval architecture, etc., which is not to say that I'm failing to recognize that ''Jane's'' describes "the depth and breadth of information cover construction and modernisation programmes, displacement and dimensions, main machinery, speed and range, weapons systems and sensors, etc.,"<ref> ''Jane's Fighting Ships,'' 2008.</ref> | |||
| ::::::], I didn't join your working group because I couldn't figure out how to ameliorate what I see as probable consequences beyond those you intend. Expressed somewhat harshly, I didn't join this consensus-building group because it seems to me that your collective work was somewhat blindered -- wrongly focused. The group was using good tools for arriving at valid answers to meaningful questions -- yes, but ]'s leadership qualities seemed to ensure that the group would also assent in wrongly construing their successes as sufficient cause for excluding other valid, meaningful and as-yet-unexamined issues. Do you see my point? | |||
| ::::::], given the momentum which demonstrably affected the workings of the consensus-building group you formed, I judged the only course available was to stand aside as the process flowed towards its inevitable conclusions. Then, with the consensus-driven text as a foundation from which to build, I could attempt a "reset" in a calmer, less heedlessly confrontational context. Do you see my point? | |||

| :::::::Tenmei, whatever point you are trying to make is lost on me. Can you please restate it more succinctly? — ] (]) 11:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ==RESET== | |||
| This is a reset -- a rejoinder following the thwarted initial effort to address unresolved problems in this article consistent with NPOV guidelines. | |||
| The exchange of views above, while satisfying in its own terms, does nothing to address the still-remaining issues which ] sought with some success to deflect. Reframing questions in which the scope of "answers" are limited by factors implicit in the premise is an impoverished logical strategy. Nevertheless, it did prove to be a useful and effective rhetorical tactic in creating the consensus which is reflected in the compromise language above. Indeed, no further exposition or discussion is necessary at this time in the context of the "Design and Specifications" section. That aspect of this article can be set aside for the moment. There will be plenty of opportunities to return to this section in 2009 as we come closer to the date when JDS ''Hyūga'' is scheduled to be commissioned. | |||
| However, the gravamen of the introductory paragraphs stands somewhat apart, arising from history and on-going disputes which have developed from quite different grounds. | |||
| ] incautiously reverted one sentence above, and an exchange of views ensued at ]. The demand for Formal Mediation was unaddressed. The same pattern is repeated again -- and again, a curious '']'' fallacy was offered as a substitute for addressing the substance of citations which support the disputed sentence. | |||

The related edits you reverted at ] and what you reverted on this very talk page were entirely content-focused, as has been (1) the entire substance of my terse one-sentence contribution to this article and (2) my extensive defense of that one sentence across an extended, detailed, and repetitive record of thwarted efforts to engage a thoughtful and careful discussion and analysis. If you construe things otherwise, your reading is mistaken. The least I can do it to tell you here and now that your concerns are unfounded. Close scrutiny will not support what I take to be your interpretation; but without more detail, any assumptions about what you view might be are too insubstantial for me to address with any constructive rebuttal. | |||
| ::] -- I can say this: Mine was not a heedless act of folly. Whether or not you take this statement in the spirit in which I offer it remains entirely up to you. Nevertheless, if you feel strongly enough about whatever it is you find objectionable, please feel free to take advantage of whatever options you find in the Misplaced Pages review system. My edit, my words, and my conduct <u>can</u> withstand scrutiny from an unbiased review. | |||
| ::] -- In the dramatic context you would seem loathe to survey, what more can I have done than to have sought both informal and formal mediation? I invested a not-insubstantial amount of time in trying to attract reasonable minds to assist in resolving the impasse you now perceive. This investment allows me to ask whether you have done the same. More to the point, what are you prepared to do now? | |||
| ::] -- I can only try to reassure you of my certainty that closer reading, evaluation and thoughtful review will vindicate both my conduct, my writing, my intentions, and the gravamen of the substantial contribution to NPOV which this article requires. Whether or not you see it this way is irrelevant amongst the broader readership my edit is designed to inform. | |||
| ::] -- In terms of what you reverted on this very talk page, my prose can only be evaluated as modest, controlled, seemly and correct -- and, more importantly, it is supported by credible citations. In addition, the words which precede the deleted text, I reveal my quality. You claim to see it otherwise, but simply reverting my contribution without more than a terse edit summary is unconvincing, unavailing. | |||
| ::] -- I repeat for redundant emphasis: Whatever it is which informs your edit, I can only guess. I do note that there are no in-line citations which would help me understand the otherwise impenetrable logic which presumably informs your decision to undo prose which took quite some time to create. I can only urge you to re-visit my words with a more careful attention before you determine to set out on a further course of action as you have done. | |||
| ::] -- Caveat: Do not revert both my edit to the article and the invitation to further discussion which is posted on its talk page. Frankly, you have been too rash. I can't be more blunt. Perhaps on re-reading, you will begin to see that my comments are constructive, reasonable, appropriate. My one-sentence edit, as-a-matter-of-fact, is necessary, essential, valid -- as your heedless actions have so unexpectedly illustrated. | |||
| ::] -- Remember that this is really all about just one short sentence added to this article. Reconsider just one of the sentences from the talk page which your rash edit deleted: | |||
| :::It is noteworthy that this short sentence is only slightly different from other similar sentences in articles about other vessels in the JMSDF fleet; and this minor distinction is neither unjustified, irrelevant nor inessential. | |||

All of which (on top of previous posts) assert that he is angrily conspiring against you in bad faith, and that the other editors are not acting with a mind of their own. He and the other editors deserve the same respect and assumptions of good faith we have extended to you. This doesn't necessarily mean that they have to agree with you with respect to article content. I reverted the article additions because after several (many uninvolved) editors tryed to develop a well worded compromise version above and waited patiently for just under a week to allow you ample time to respond and suggest changes to the wording, the text was added. Soon after the text was added you then added more material to slant back towards your own interpretation of the sources. Which myself and the other editors disagree with.

And that I was mistaken in the above paragraph where I thought you were opposing the 'offending' (current) line of text which, in fact, you wish to keep?

In my view, the ] of non-Japanese Wikipedias mandate this short sentence or something like it in articles about JDS ''Hyūga''.

As such, I support the text proposed by Coldmachine and think that it is better suited to the lead section than the current text which states that the ships' are aircraft carriers. I would be happy to consider alternatives to this wording though. ] (]) 10:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ::::Sure: I'm happy to discuss your concerns, and you have been encouraged to do this throughout this talk page. However, most of what you've posted in green are a series of statements rebutting my response to your offer to discuss the article in which you state only that my views are "wrong" or "potentially valid, but unavailing" - these aren't questions and the only response I have to your request that I respond to your comments in green is to point out that myself and several other editors have since developed a paragraph which discusses the fact that different reliable sources label these ships differently (including some sources stating that they are carriers) and this has now been added to the article along with supporting citiations for all the different classifications. The external links have now been converted to inline citations (which was easily done as they were reliable sources which supported the various statements and statistics in the article at the time) so another response to your concern that external links aren't adequete doesn't seem nessessary. | |||

Please note that I am happy to acknowledge that instead of simply removing your statement that the ships are aircraft carriers at the start of this dispute I should have replaced it with text stating that some sources state that the ships are aircraft carriers while other sources state that they are helicopter carriers or destroyers - I believe that I have rectified this mistake by proposing the text on the disagreement over their classifications above which was endorsed by other editors before being added to the article. Please note that it uses the reference you included originally as one of the sources which states that the ships are aircraft carriers. That said, I continue to consider that your comments on this discussion have frequently been needlessly uncivil, and note that several editors have asked that you focus on the issues rather than attack other editors. | |||

For example, are you concerned about something other than or in addition to the relatively narrow topic of the ships' classification as used in military publications and the media? (which is the only topic I have any views on here: for instance, I know almost nothing about the Japanese Constitution or about any implications these ships may have relating to it - my only interest is to ensure that the article does not make statements about the ships' design and characteristics which are not in line with the full range of reliable sources ). ] (]) 12:20, 23 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| As you can see by clicking on the links provided and , the second paragraph of the current ] citation is not inconsistent with this suggested edit; and the prominent position at the beginning of this analysis-text indicates the importance of this word-change.

| I looked around through the sources and I do not see any statement that the 16 Mk41 cells carry only 16 ESSMs, 1 per cell. However, it is stated on the page for the ESSM that Mk41 VLS cells can quadpack ESSM, so if the ESSM loadout here is stated by how many Mk41 VLS cells there are, it should be 64 ESSM due to quadpacking. ] (]) 23:18, 23 February 2011 (UTC) | |||

| The constitution of Japan doesn't say what the JMSDF should ''call'' their ships that carry rotary-wing aircraft. Doesn't the pertinent part of the constitution say only that it must be a solely defensive force? The revision suggested above implies the government is correct: that a helicopter carrier, called by some other name, somehow differently! Perhaps the parenthetic text would need to be "(represented as being defensive, helicopter-carrying ]s (DDH) for constitutional reasons)." Of course this takes more than a single-word change. But to do less is to swing from one POV to another, without acheiving neutrality. (] - '']'') 03:04, 25 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
