Overall: It's concerning that there some references are not reliable. These are refs #7 (Tokyo Tourist Information) and #15 (Asakusa Station). If other references can be used to replace this, aside from a better hook, then we can proceed. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:25, 20 February 2024 (UTC) All good now.

@Howard the Duck: I have addressed the referencing issues and removed the problematic sources. For the hooks, I came up with a few other options:

• ... that because the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center's floors were slanted, extra equipment could be stored in the extra space? Source: https://www.interactiongreen.com/asakusa-cultural-tourism-center-kengo-kuma/ (Note - unsure where the (pictured) tag would go here)
• ... that the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center's floors are slanted? Source: https://www.interactiongreen.com/asakusa-cultural-tourism-center-kengo-kuma/ (note: same as above)
• ... that the architect of the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center (pictured) wanted the building to show asymmetry from all persepctives? Source: https://www.interactiongreen.com/asakusa-cultural-tourism-center-kengo-kuma/

Hope this helps. - DarkNight0917 | (t/c) 05:21, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

I'd prefer the third suggestion.

Upon checking, there are still a couple of problematic refs, this time from Japan Travel (refs #7 and #18). I suppose facts like what the motto of the building is and that you can buy refreshments there is rather mundane, but the center offering maps and brochures in other languages rather than Japanese seems important, as it gives the impression that the center also caters to foreign tourists and not just domestic ones. If that can be replaced, this is good to go. Howard the Duck (talk) 22:08, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

@Howard the Duck: Okay, we'll go with the third suggestion then. I have replaced the Japan Travel sources. - DarkNight0917 | (t/c) 00:40, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

All good now. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:03, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

I've changed the wording of the sentence in question, added an inline, and corrected a few more errors. - DarkNight0917 | (t/c) 22:44, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Okay. ALT0 approved.--Launchballer 12:57, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

This has been sitting at the top of the 'Approved' pile for a while now. What's the hold up?--Launchballer 11:52, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
