I've spot Hifumiyama and Hero on the unusual shikona list at the wiki in Japanese; maybe someone can translate the whole thing better than online translators: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/四股名#変わった四股名 still can't find them on the database

The main article about sumo on Wikipedia was revised recently, but it's still lacking a proper section for post-WW2 history, while the leading section does mention the recent scandals: I think it's a bit unfair to cite such episodes in the intro, no? I mean, sumo is centuries old, I wouldn't give such a spotlight to the scandals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumo also can you guys take a look at a request for help posted about the glossary? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Glossary_of_sumo_terms#Various_page_issues there are issues with Japanese, and I know that some of you could help (I can't). Finally, I recently discovered a wiki about sumo at Fandom: https://sumowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Active as you can see they have articles about active rikishi not yet present on the Wikipedia in English; it seems that only a couple of guys are working on it, and sources are missing, which is a bit head-scratching. They also copy-paste texts from Wikipedia, but this is ok, as per the license. Opinions on it are welcome, especially if you find errors.
