 * In a sense, I'm looking to dump the basic and standardized rulebook here, according to our words. KyuuAL 01:17, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Article name
I'd like to rename this article "Riichi mahjong".
 * It'll be less exclusive. We are including men, so why not non-Japanese people, lol. There's also the European Mahjong Association.
 * In the manga, the winners of the East Toyko qualifying match, Rinkai, is mostly made up of foreign girls, Hisa mentions a world junior championship that Fujita-pro may be scouting for, and Kokaji-pro mentions tournaments that she has occasionally participated in that affect world rankings.
 * Apparently, Koreans and Taiwanese play riichi mahjong differently from the way others play it, but then again, Japanese mahjong itself has significant variations. ChrisH8 02:10, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * NOTE: There exists Korean, Filipino, American, etc. mahjong - per labeled by ethnic group. Of course, there are other variations like Zung Jung, Hong Kong, and of course, Riichi.  And in my opinion, American is the weirdest version.  Filipino is very easy. :D KyuuAL 04:22, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
