Finally! Here's the IJAMEA hub, a collaborative project between MrWrong and myself over the last few weeks. This piece is littered with all sorts of history, and one of my favorite aspects is our many nods to entities and concepts created over on the Japanese branch of the wiki. Hope you like it.

ordinarily i'd leave some faux-witty comment here, but the hard work and thought you guys've put into this project is respectable and i really like it. IJAMEA is one of my favorite things that the site's put out thus far in 2017 and I can't wait to see more of its material.

It may interest you to know that you can use multiple [footnoteblock]s, one on each tab, if you wish.

This is sweet.

Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!

It may interest you to know that you can change the color of the bullet points in the sidebar using:

#side-bar img {
 filter: hue-rotate(210deg);
 -webkit-filter: hue-rotate(210deg);
}
#side-bar div.side-block:nth-child(4) > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) img {
 filter: none;
 -webkit-filter: none;
}

(This one will turn the red sidebar bullet points blue. Different colors can be achieved by passing a different value to hue-rotate.)

There's some other stuff you can do to, like changing the color of top bar search button, and changing the colors of tabs and such. On the whole though, nice work on the CSS.

Just found out about this and I'm really excited! Been really curious about the IJAMEA before, but haven't found that much about it. I'll plough through this material at the soonest opportunity. Hope it gets a place on the GoI list soon!

The rear line soldiers of this picture are Korean, not Japanese. And this picture was taken during First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), not WWI.

Of course, it's not violation of any policy to make an error in historical background, but it can be sensitive among the nations invaded by Pre-war Japan(such as Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese). Just think about relation between Nazi and Poland.

Since you guys have more than 5x3 now, shouldn't this be added to the main GOI page?

The soldiers in the picture are obviously white people instead of Japanese. Besides, all the "occultists" have a "pigtail", which is forbidden after the Revolution of 1911 in China.

In fact, this picture was taken during Siege of the International Legations (June 20 – August 14, 1900), which, as same as First Sino-Japanese War, was a brutal invasion to China. and those Chinese are "boxers" captured by American soldiers.

It's an obvious error in historical background.

Since I feel the IJAMEA both deserves and needs a blurb on the GoI page to attract more readers and contributors, I went ahead and wrote one.

This is my draft proposal for an IJAMEA blurb to be displayed on the GoI page. Feedback is most welcome. If you feel this requires a significant rewrite, feel free to go ahead and do it, no need to ask me. Just post it here for others to evaluate as well.

The Imperial Japanese Anomalous Matters Examination Agency or IJAMEA (not to be confused with the Foundation precursor IGAMEA, the Imperial German Anomalous Matters Examination Agency), was Japan's official and primary anomaly agency in the period from the Meiji Restoration in 1868 until the end of World War II in 1945. IJAMEA was founded with the purpose to bring Japan up to speed with Western esoterics research, acting as a modern counterpart to pre-existing so-called "primitive" groups. In this capacity, the IJAMEA catalogued hundreds of different anomalies spread throughout Japan and her colonies, conducted extensive research on these, and undertook numerous projects aiming to utilize the anomalous for the greater good of the fledgling Empire.

IJAMEA saw its most significant role during WWII, when it attempted to weaponize several anomalies to assist military forces in the war against the Allies. Rushed planning and insufficient funds, however, resulted in few of these programmes bearing fruit. The IJAMEA was formally disbanded with the Treaty of San Fransisco in 1951, and most of its assets were either transferred to GOC control or covertly acquired by the Foundation.

However, imperial loyalists and Japanese nationalists within it kept IJAMEA alive in the post-War years, this time as a clandestine organization, during which it's main focus was checking the spread of communist influence in Japan and East Asia. Today, it primarily serves to care for the well-being of Japan's diverse but faltering anomalous ecology, and supports various nationalist agendas with its ties to prominent politicians, businesspeople and cultural personalities throughout Japan. It seeks to return some political power to the Imperial family and return Japan to great power status, and actively seek to exploit the various anomalies in its possession for this purpose. The Foundation is seen as a foreign rival at best, and agents are to exercise due caution when interacting with IJAMEA personnel.
