[edit] Article title

Somebody moved this article to a new title Pollution in Japan, but the article is about the well-known subject of the "Big Four Pollution Diseases" of Japan, a direct translation of the name yondaikōgaibyō, which is a very notable subject inside Japan (see e.g. Almeida P and Stearns L, Soc. Probs., 45(1):37-60, 1998). There is already an article Environmental issues in Japan‎, which covers all environmental issues, including pollution. I suggest leaving this article with its original title, unless there is a clear consensus for a change. - Neparis (talk) 20:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
