Merger idea[edit]

I have suggested that Sado Island be merged into this article because the city consists of the entire island. Hence geography, history, etc. overlaps.—Tokek 15:46, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures[edit]

It would be nice and appropriate to have some mention of the Sado Okesa folksong (and dancers), the famous circular tub boats of Sado, and perhaps the Edo gold mines with pictures, all of which are symbolic of Sado. Any photo sources? Doc Rock 15:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sado's symbol flower is incorrect. It should be "Daylily". Its Japanese name is "kanzo" and it writes 萱草, not 甘草. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ykinflorenceky (talk • contribs) 14:43, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

Split template[edit]

I removed the newly place split template as it was never proposed, brought up or mentioned anywhere (and it was messing up the infobox for some unexplained reason). What do you think should be split off from the current article? --Torsodog^Talk 05:21, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change to Sado Island recommended[edit]

It seems to me a basic category error to subsume 'Sado Island' into the entry on Sado. Surely Sado Island should be the main page, perhaps with a redirect from 'Sado city'. Sado Island contains but is not contained by Sado city, which is merely a recent administrative term for what is still basically a rural island of disparate towns and villages.
