 there is an old banzuke with a british rikishi and if you highlight foreigners he does not get a color

Yes it appears "Great Britain" is not one of the shusshin that works in the "highlight foreigners" option. I tried it out for Kyushu 1989, a basho I knew Hidenokuni appeared in, and it looks like it doesn't work for Taiwan either.

Not the best choice of basho to demonstrate that for Hidenokuni since his name and results colouring are both overwritten by the top rank and new promotion default color.

I made a mistake when I was putting together last basho's maezumo results, the last two bouts in the first session (Day 3) had the rikishi on the wrong sides. I've corrected it in my post in the recruits thread. Sorry about that, the rest should be fine.

Oh and speaking of last basho, it needs a name and venue change to bring it into line with Nagoya/July.

Oyama is still listed at Azumazeki on the Kabu list, rather than Hakkaku. It's been a while now, so thought I'd mention it, lest he gets overlooked next update.

Thanks for catching that, for the record his transfer was effective as of February 1st 2020.

On the Aki 2020 banzuke, Arauma is listed as mae zumo. however there were no mae zumo matches during that basho and the sole eligible rikishi (Reon) went from Bg to Jk in November. Shouldn't Arauma also be banzuke gai? or shouldn't his hatsu dohyo be 2020.11?

Is he being treated according to the "foreign rikishi" policy discussed in another thread?

yes, but why does every foreign rikishi have an empty torikumi for the basho before their debut on the db? even if they were already with the stable why are they listed in the db if they don't participate, and why in maezumo and not banzuke-gai? shouldn't hatsu dohyo be the date of their first bout? that's how the NSK lists it.

still, under this system, the main issue is that Arauma and Reon should both be listed in the same division, either both maezumo or banzuke-gai.

I'm trying to add video links to bouts from November, but when I submit links and click "save video edits" at the top of the torikumi, everything disappears. Am I submitting links that need to be approved, like I just need to wait a little bit for them to show up? Has anyone here run into trouble adding video links?

The second part of Shonanzakura's shikona is still listed as Futoshi, and not Sota.

[Asashosakari 18,968]

Just noticed that yokozuna Akinoumi's article at ja.wiki states that the reading of his given name 節男 was Takao たかお for his real-life name, with the Setsuo せつお reading only used for his shikona.

(That bit of info has been on the Wikipedia article unchallenged since 2004, so I would hope it's correct.)

The paragraph in question in referenced to pages 28 and 29 of a 2015 book called "Shōwa Heisei oozumou-mei rikishi 100 retsuden" by Minobu Shiozawa, published by Hokushindo Publishing. Check your shelves!

March 2020 and Nov 2020 Basho venues both seem wrong.

[Asashosakari 18,968]

The Day 7 bout between Yuriki and Sadanohikari wasn't recorded correctly and their daily interim records have been wrong since then (e.g. Sadanohikari is 4-1 now but gets listed under "3 wins, 1 loss" after Day 9).

[sahaven111 174]

One of Akiseyama's matches in Kyushu 2020 is shown as a "yasumi" or line on his page.

Same issue for his opponent, Chiyootori.

Bump. I just ran into this error again.

Edit: And the Hatsu 2020 jonidan playoff is tagged as sandanme-kaku.

Would it be technically feasible to make clear in the sansho table that 2018.09 had all three sansho types not awarded, rather than looking like nothing happened at all?

[Asashosakari 18,968]

After digging deep into archive.org's copies of old SML posts, it looks like the Kyushu 1996 makuuchi playoff has the East-West assignments wrong for two of the four matches in the 5-way playoff.
 

Official information from the original(?) 1990s era NSK site: https://web.archive.org/web/20010118182500/http://www.wnn.or.jp/wnn-t/relay/96_11/15/yusho_e.html

Supported also by this contemporary account of an SML member who watched it live.
 

Matches 1 and 3 are currently listed the other (wrong) way around on the DB. The correct order makes a lot more sense in that it would be inconceivable that Musashimaru fought his two tomoe-sen matches from different sides, as the DB currently has it.

(Stewart Nelson, if you're still out there, many thanks for including that Kyokai site URL in this SML post - I think it's the only reason archive.org managed to pick it up at some point, no playoff pages from other tournament seem to be there.)

[Asashosakari 18,968]

While we're at it, Haru 1997's 4-way playoff has a similar issue, but in this case there's videographic evidence.

The first match is higashi Kaio - nishi Takanohana, the DB has it the other way around.

The second semi and the final are correct.

Young Kaio!

 

[themistyseas 238]

Nakagawa oyakata is still listed as running his own heya. Since that heya was shut down last summer, I believe he should be folded in under Tokitsukaze.

[Eikokurai 3,437]

Unless I’m misunderstanding something or have done this query wrong, shouldn’t Terunofuji have three doten-yusho to his name following that 13-2D playoff loss to Takakeisho in November?

Chiyomaru is missing a win from day 9 in his hoshitori from November 2020. It does properly have his record as 8-7 but there is a line through the hoshitori.

The same is true of his opponent Wakamotoharu and also on the day 12 bout between Akiseyama and Chiyootori.

[Asashosakari 18,968]

I could have sworn this was reported at some time already, but I can't find it now, so...

"Hokuonada" should actually be Hakuonada; the kana reading in the Japanese data is correct, but it was misspelled in the romaji reading when he changed his shikona last September.

I posted about this last basho, but has anyone in this thread had success adding video links in the torikumi? I've added links and hit "save" and then all of the links disappear and it doesn't look like anything was saved. The last mention I've seen of adding videos is from 2019. Is it still possible to add links? Would love to add my Juryo videos and Kintamayama's Makuuchi videos for posterity

edit: Even for the previous basho in November, only a few of the top division bouts have videos!

Are you using the right format? The form fields expect the 11-character video ID code plus an optional time code in (m)m:ss format, and nothing else (unless it's now more robust than in the old days, which I doubt).
