    Thank you for the review 🙂
    I implemented the suggestions. Several notes though:
    • Kept some refs in the lead for claims not made in body.
    • Deleted (小弱国); it was the orig Japanese-language text for "small and weak country" but think it's not needed
    • Tokutomi Sohō is only 1910 because I think in 1910 there were three different leaders of the paper, and Tokutomi only served a few months. I don't really know the exact dates each person served though; researching this would be very difficult. Even finding the years on the current article was hard enough.

  • ... that just after the 1945 liberation of Korea, the remnants of the Japanese colonial government used armed guards to prevent Koreans from seizing the printing equipment of the newspaper Keijō nippō? Source: [1] 일본의 패전에 의해 한국은 해방을 맞이했지만 사회는 혼란스럽고 어수선한 상태에서 경성일보사의 조선인 종업원이 중심이 된 경성일보 사원대회가 열려 『경성일보』를 한국인이 접수하여 신문발행을 하자는 움직임이 일어났다. 그러나, 조선총독부의 정보과장이었던 아베 다츠가즈(阿部達一)는 이같은 경성일보내 조선인 종업원들의 움직임으로 인하여 사내가 혼란해지자 경성일보사 주변에 무장 일본군 100여명을 주둔시키고 총을 들이대며 경성일보 사원들을 위협하며 신문발행을 종용하였다. -> [In 1945], Korea was liberated due to Japan's defeat in the war. Amidst the societal chaos and upheaval, the Korean employees of the Keijō nippō held a conference. A movement formed amongst the Koreans to take control of the newspaper and its facilities. In response to the actions of the Koreans, Abe Tatsukazu, head of the Information Bureau of the Government-General of Chōsen, stationed around 100 armed Japanese soldiers around the newspaper's offices. The newspaper's employees were ordered at gunpoint to continue operations as they had before.
