[edit] Fix big space in middle of article

Can someone who knows how please fix the big empty space in the middle of this article after "History and official residence"

Despite the claim about how PMs will be listed, Ito Hirobumi is listed twice (as #1 and #5). Is there a reason for this? - Montréalais

Does anyone good idea about which order should we use for the list of PMs western first and last name order or vice versal? -- Taku 07:31 Mar 23, 2003 (UTC)

What is wrong with date served? --mav

I mean I am asking Hata Tsutomu or Tsutomu Hata. -- Taku 07:47 Mar 23, 2003 (UTC)

Do the "r's" stand for "reign"? PM's dont reign. They serve. --Jiang 22:22, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)

"Theoretically, the Prime Minister is very powerful, with a role most similar to the German chancellor in the West and even greater because of Japan's unitary form of government." (Role of the PM)
I'm going to erase that "in the West", but please check if it is okay. I just can't understand what this part is referring to. Sounds like some pre-unification term... Helen

[edit] Prime Ministers Table

I noticed today that the succession box was replaced with a Prime Ministers template box, on the article for Mitsumasa Yonai. I rather liked the succession box better, as it's smaller and looks cleaner, and gives more details on the dates and names of the preceding and succeeding PM. Rather than simply revert it, I thought I'd post here, and ask for opinions and such. LordAmeth 22:32, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requirements

Are there any special requirements for this position other than those to be in the Diet itself? The article could use this info. Garrett Albright 11:31, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duration

I find bizarre that in this page there isn't written how long is the prime minister mandate... Lo'oris - ロホリス 14:54, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sucessors

Who is appointed prime minister if the current one is killed? I have a report due on types of government successors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobtmonkey (talk • contribs) 02:12, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update

The opening tag saying that parts need updating no longer seems relevant, now that Abe's resignation is fully described, right down to when it activates. Over the next week, anyone can add candidates and, at the end, the new PM. I'm removing the tag, but anyone who knows how to add one of those "details may change because it's current news" tabs should feel free to do so, and that can be removed after a few days too. 85.92.173.186 19:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
