I've noticed an error in the counting of the Nishonoseki kabu. The current Nishonoseki should be #13 not #17. The current Araiso should be #17 not #13.

Just a little test if you all have been properly paying attention 

[Yubinhaad 11,612]

Shusshin, given name and a few kana errors.

Moji's shusshin information was broken at some point. His original shusshin of Wakayama-ken, Arida-shi (和歌山県有田市) is missing, and there's an extra Hyogo-ken on there at the moment.

Hishuyama's given name Keiji (けいじ) is correct on the English side but is wrongly shown as Keijiro on the Japanese side.

Kojikara's kana reading should be こぢから.

A bit late after his shikona change, but Sekizukayama's kana reading should have been せきづかやま.

Yurikisho has one too many elongations, it should be ゆりきしょう.

There's an extra kana in Wakakaneko's profile, it should be わかかねこ.

Yanagida's given name is shown as こうめい on his heya website profile.

Asakiryu's given name was cut to just Ryu (りゅう) according to his heya website profile.

While querying the highest career ranks of Makushita yusho winners, I noticed it shows Terunofuji's highest as Ozeki.

http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query.aspx?show_form=0&showhighest=on&form1_y=on&form1_ms=on&sort_by=high

Interestingly, he appears to be the only Yokozuna or Ozeki to have won the Makushita championship, albeit he didn't do it on his way up first time, but during his resurgence.

The highest career rank stat is for the highest rank prior to this basho. If you look at Kotokaze, whose highest rank is S in the results, you'll see he actually went S > ... > Ms (Yusho) > ... > O

Gotcha. Cheers.

Specifically, it's based on the data of the first basho for which you've set a restriction as part of the query. Compare this and this.

So in other words, a search like that returns rikishi data at the time of the basho searched for in question, and not necessarily the peak global attribute of that particular rikishi across all time?

Yes, it's equivalent to the "Highest Rank" checkbox on the banzuke pages, not the "Career Highest Rank" one.

[Yokozuna Hattorizakura 151]

Imafuku is still listed under nishonoseki when he should have moved to hanaregoma like the rest.

[jsolo 106]

Does SR still allow for adding video links to matches? As far as copyright issues, the only ones I would want to add are the ones JSA uploads to their youtube site? Anything else might be copyright violations or independent videos shot at the venue (which I don't know would be OK to enter, as they might endanger the producer's right to shoot at the venue.

 

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

[Asashosakari 19,104]

Ishizaki, Oshoma and Kinbozan are in need of their respective debut division for their hatsu-dohyo field.

On another topic: Since things seem to have settled in favour of putting Bg instead of Mz + no participation for the one-basho foreigner waiting period now, maybe past rikishi should be updated for consistency's sake? There are also some inconsistencies between older and newer rikishi that are already listed as Bg: Newer ones (Kotokenryu, Daiseizan) only have the Bg basho marked as a new highest "division", while older cases (Shishi, Kiribayama, Homarenishiki) have the marker on both the Bg and the Mz basho. I'm not sure which version is more appropriate, although I'm leaning towards "both", so that these guys' maezumo appearances can be queried as their first time there (which it is).

[Chiyotasuke 275]

Abbreviation for "Earlier/other retirement" of kabu is inconsistent. It seems it was initially RO (example), but now it's RE (with its explanation being just "RE", example)

Edited February 5, 2022 by Chiyotasuke
I suppose it is not that serious error compared to others in this topic

[Asashosakari 19,104]

"RE" refers to oyakata retiring during their sanyo re-employment only.

[Chiyotasuke 275]

A small nitpick I'm sure I got right: Masudayama should be RS-Retired as sanyo, instead of RM again, which I figure is designated after turning 65. Here for example, Dewanohana & Kurosegawa are RS

Edited February 6, 2022 by Chiyotasuke

[Tamanaogijima 747]

Masudayama is corrected now, should be RS (in the 2021 row) indeed.

 

@Doitsuyama  Could you please add the following two to the list of two-letter codes?

KB = Kabu Assumed and Heya Branchout

RE = Retirement as Sanyo (consultant), earlier

 

Edit: Formatting gone wild.

In the Haru 2010 data, Jumonji's record after his 7th match shows up as 3-4-1 for some reason, rather than 3-4.

(And on a totally different topic: Are the more recent yusho-gaku images meant to be this big on the banzuke pages now?)

I was wondering if it was just me.  It goes back quite a few years, starting with Aki 2018 and continuing from there to the last one available.  All the larger images are from a different source than the older ones.  I think the issue is that they're higher resolution, and that causes them to take up more space on the page.  I'm not familiar with this kind of coding, but it seems as though the image on the banzuke page is being forced to display at a certain resolution, and that was fine when they were all the same size, coming from the same source, but with this new source of images it's causing them to display much larger since there's more total pixels in the image.

I think this is the offending line:

The Kotoshoho v Yago playoff is not in the db

 

[WAKATAKE 2,648]

Toseiryu aka Daiki Sue does not have his university listed which would be Kyushu Institute of Information Sciences in his DB entry

This site seems to be experiencing major down time. Respect this site immensely but any idea as to the issues?

[jsolo 106]

The "issue," I think, is that he (very understandingly) shuts it out to the public while he is updating it. It is a complex site and you will find this happening a lot during the Basho, especially considering where he is working from and where you are. Be patient. check back in later. It  will be up again. As someone who has dealt with lots of database driven sites during my day job as a university librarian (before I retired), SR is one of the best, most well organized for delivery of data and ease of use, data sites I have ever seen in any subject, and by far the best and most comprehensive in its scope (back to 1750s) of any sport I have ever seen, including baseball,football Reference, etc. The only thing that comes close is Retrosheet.org, the base of raw data that Baseball Reference uses. SR is magnificent. And considering the fact that it appears to be a labor of love and not profit, it is a shining example of what the Internet can deliver.

Hope this helps you.

 

 

[Reonito 1,387]

To be fair, it's been down way more than it usually is, even during a basho.

[Seiyashi 4,072]

I for one will confess to not having the necessary know how and privileges to assist in maintaining the DB, but if there's anything we can do to help (like, idk, donating towards server costs or something) do let us know.

Yes, may of us would be happy to do so!
