Is there some reason why the wars of the first 1,000 years of recorded history aren't included? Boneyard90 ( talk) 17:51, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Either the article should be renamed to only cover recent history, or it needs to be completed. I'm not a historian, but offhand the greatest omissions seem to be:

Judging by the columns "Japan and allies" and "Opponents", I'm guessing this is intended to be a list of wars between Japan as a nation and foreign enemies, which would suggest that civil wars should be excluded. The list starts with the Boshin War, which was a civil war between opposed factions in Japanese governance, with one of them -- the Tokugawa Shogunate, which was the de facto Japanese government since the Sengoku period -- being listed as the "Opponents". This conflict should either be excluded (as a civil war) or described differently than simply by assigning "Japan and allies" status to the winner and "Opponents" status to the loser, especially when the circumstances of the conflict essentially involved a rebel faction overthrowing the established government.
Taking a page from the Incomplete note above, one might similarly resolve the problem by renaming the article to cover only modern imperial and post-imperial government, I suppose. This seems rather arbitrary, though.

I have done my best to improve this article, but I'm no expert on Japanese history. If there is anyone out there who are able to improve and expand this list further, please don't hesitate to do so. -- Mikrobølgeovn ( talk) 19:18, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
There are some faults with the WWII section. It lists the First Brazilian Republic as a belligerent despite the fact that said Republic ended in 1930. It also lists the start of WWII as 1941 when in fact, it started in 1939. -- 92.232.49.38 ( talk) 15:49, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of wars involving Japan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:45, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
As in the Ōei Invasion page, several accounts and IPs that appear to be sock puppets repeatedly rewrote the Ōei invasion as a victory for Korea in a short period of time. In doing so, they use the record of the Joseon dynasty, which says that "So Sadamori surrendered." However, as B.C.Mayfield ( talk · contribs · count) points out in the Talk:Ōei Invasion#January 2021 [1], that is clearly false. Also, in the records of the Joseom dynasty, there are several statements admitting defeat of the army. If you're interested in this, please read Talk:Ōei Invasion#January 2021. It's very detailed and easy to understand.-- SLIMHANNYA ( talk) 14:51, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
