Sources?[edit]

What is the source for the name "Edogawa Rampo Award"? The only English-language source currently in the article is a Japan Times written after the statement it supports was included in Wikipedia, and that article says Edogawa Rampo Prize. We also have Akutagawa Prize and so on. Further, I found a much older article in the Japan Times that spells it as Edogawa Ranpo Award. The current discussion at Talk:Edogawa Rampo#Requested move appears to indicate that English Wikipedia made up the name "Edogawa Rampo Award" (combination of "Rampo" spelling over "Ranpo" with the word "Award" as opposed to "Prize"). The only source I could find that backed up the current title is the decorative English text on the covers of a few books (apparently all in Japanese) from Kodansha.[1][2][3][4] I would propose changing the name of this article to Edogawa Rampo Prize in accordance with the only good source we have and to bring it into line with the other Wikipedia articles, but the ongoing RM at Edogawa Rampo makes me kinda want to hold off and see if the name of the author is changed in the long term. elvenscout742 (talk) 06:32, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
