Hello. I don't know German, so the basis for this article is a machine translation that I did. Could you please proofread it and make sure it's an accurate rendition of the original? If so, thank you. Biruitorul 01:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

While the articles discussing Japanese railway lines are notable and its nice to see someone paying attention, why are small stations such as Hon-Atsugi Station 本厚着駅 included? I can see the argument for large terminals, such as 東京, etc., but why include the smaller ones? Wikipedia isn't a train station directory. If we treated every station equally we would crash the wiki-servers.-- Shakujo 08:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article Hon-Atsugi Station, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.-- Shakujo 08:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. On
User:Bamse/Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos, you've got a bunch of templates of the form {{coord|16.584083|S|60.688827|W|region:BO-S|type:city|format=dms}}. {{
Coord}}
is a bit odd, in that the region: and type: parameters (and a couple of others) are separated by underscores rather than pipes, so they should be "...|region:BO-S_type:city|...".

Dear Bamse, I spotted on your userpage (linked from the feedback page) your contributions to physics articles, and I was wondering whether you could give a quick once-over to my article on probability amplitude, which I wrote a couple of months ago but have had little input on. After seeing my catastrophically loose wording turn what started off as a simple tweak to arg into a nightmare of typos, slips, and gaffes, I now seriously distrust my ability to write what I am saying, let alone thinking, so I appreciate a brief review there, if only for accuracy's sake and not readability. I think all my other contributions have been read enough that they should be safe. Thanks, Kan8eDie ( talk) 21:55, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello Bamse - Thank you for agreeing to adopt me!I am working on the Miyazawa Flutes page. When I originally created it, I had a section about Innovations and Technology, because that is what Miyazawa is known for. I had citations linking to educational articles on their website. And I had their website as a reference, also, but it is now gone. But I guess I did not do the citations correctly. I deleted the Innovations and Technology section since it was the section causing problems. Can you give me some guidance on how to make the citations correctly link to another website? And also how to add the website back as a reference?
I used other flute makers pages as a guide, so I'm confused why my page was tagged. (Other flute makers are Muramatsu Flutes, Powell Flutes, Brannen Brothers, Sankyo Flute Company, etc...)

It means exactly what I wrote. They may or may not be on display at any given moment, but the scrolls are 'entrusted' to those museums, and if they aren't on tour, that's where they're being stored. The Japanese word is 寄託 (= ~ bailment = transfer of possession without transfer of ownership). See for example: [1] Bueller 007 ( talk) 00:02, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Bamse. Checked the list and changed very little. I got rid of some occasional typos and: 1) hyphenated kondō, hondō and the like, as specified in the Manual of Style. Not many in Wikipedia do it, but it makes sense. 2) I capitalized The Twelve Heavenly Generals, because I figured it's a proper name as that of the Four Heavenly Kings. The Tokyo National Museum capitalizes it. 3) The last point concerns the difference in my treatment of Bodhisattvas, which I left with an s, and Bosatsus, where I removed the s. As a rule, in English foreign words do not take an s when they are pluralized, hence my choice of Bosatsu, and not Bosatsus. (Shogun for example takes an s because it's now considered an English word.) I think Bodhisattva is sufficiently known in English to be considered an English word, but it's only my opinion.
I hope I didn't fuck up any part of the table. If there is any problem, let me know.

Hi, Bamse. The sorting works fine, but I modified a sentence in the Usage section to mention the little arrows. I hadn't noticed them until you told me, so I figure it's better be safe and mention them. Feel free to revert if you think it's not necessary. I would say it's high time to publish the article. Thanks for the meticulous, hard work you put in it.
A small point: according to the manual of style, Shinto should be written with no macron because it's an English word now, but here I do not agree. Macrons should stay, because they are necessary to properly understand a word and how it's written. You used the macron. I would leave it, but someone sooner or later will remove it.

Bamse, my heartfelt apologies. Today I noticed for the first time your question: Is the double-hypenation correct or should it be "Shin Yakushi-ji" or "Shinyakushi-ji"?. Very sorry.
Looked it up on the net and, to my dismay, it seems it does have a hyphen after Shin. I had it wrong all these years. See Shin-Ōsaka Station. So, "Shin-Yakushi-ji". Don't like it, but there it is.
I have taken a look at the article. Coming along fine. I guess the next will be an article about the 12 Heavenly Generals. You have some of the material already there, ready to be pasted in. Urashima Tarō ( talk) 08:50, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Urashima Tarō ( talk) 23:34, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
BTW, I took the liberty to fix the Buddha link in Twelve Heavenly Generals. In this case, Buddha means simply an illuminated person, and the link should direct to buddhahood (as it does in the page about Yakushi).
There is a useful convention, that however not many follow, according to which Buddha capitalized means the original, historical Buddha, whereas "buddha" in the lower case means an illuminated one. I left the original capital in your file, so you can decide what you want to do. Urashima Tarō ( talk) 23:48, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
HI bamse! I'm so sorry to have mangled your wonderful work on the Chiquitos article. I've re-edited to show that Schmid was both composer and priest. Unfortunately because I was only thinking about the words I confused father to be a person who has children which in that context would not have been relevant. That Schmid was a missionary priest is relevant. If you don't mind I'll continue slowly on your wonderful article that should have FA status. Please don't hesitate to tell me if I delete anything of importance. Thanks. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 01:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi bamse! I've completed an initial pass through of the Chiquitos article. It's a very interesting article full of wonderful detail. In some cases the detail, (none of which should be edited out, in my view), tends to create dense sentences, but for now I've left it as is, and will stay away from it for a few days and then return with a fresh perspective. Thanks. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 23:43, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

That leaves the question of Tibet. I don't know all that much about Tibetan Buddhism, & in particular whether they have this list. I think there's a Tibet project you might try asking. If the list doesn't exist in Tibetan Buddhism, then the best phrasing would probably be "in East Asian Buddhism", which covers China, Vietnam, Korea & Japan, all with very similar Buddhist traditions.

hi Bamse, WHO keeps a list of the latest statistics from each country. The most recent list is from 2008. WHO doesn't collect its own statistics but relies on the statistics it receives from each of its members, so the date after the statistics for each country reflects the age of the data collected by the member state, not the WHO list date. This means that some will be up-to-date whereas others are not. I think we probably need to make this point more clearly in the article. Jenafalt ( talk) 12:40, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I will be reviewing the article you nominated for GA over the next week at Talk:Jesuit_Missions_of_the_Chiquitos/GA1. Currently it is on hold as there are a few obvious problems to be fixed - they should be relatively easy to handle though. During the next days I will conduct a thorough review. ·Maunus·ƛ· 01:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bamse. Okay, I've gone through the article, looking specifically at the names. The problem is this section.
I'm sorry to see the tables gone, because as a reader, I enjoyed looking at the images, particularly Schmid's churches. I'd like to compare information in the tables with the information in the section marked above, because perhaps it can be combined, and perhaps, one of the tables (maybe even both) can be rewritten into prose as Maunus suggests.
Before starting the project of deleting the names of the Jesuits, I'd suggest adding information about the indians, again as he suggests. I'd imagine Maunus can steer you toward sources (if you don't already have them) for adding either a section about the impact by the missions on the native population, or of interweaving the information into separate sections.
In the meantime, if you don't mind, I'll make a copy of both tables and work on them in my sandbox, and see where that gets us with information. Then, the last step can be to determine which names to delete from the one long paragraph.
How does that sound for a plan? Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 12:48, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for the very late reply. I was changing continents in the meantime. Unfortunately I probably won't have much time to work on the article in the next couple of days either. Thanks Truthkeeper88 for starting to convert the tables to prose. (Very good job!) I think a prose version is visually better. On the other hand, with the tables it was easier to compare the misisons, for instance by sorting the columns according to the name of the settlement or the year of consturction/founding (by clicking on the arrows in the table header). Unfortunately we cannot have both, prose and easy accessibility. In any case I don't have strong objections to a prose conversion. It is a good idea to add the geo-coordinates as you did (and remove them from the "location" section later). I would favour a chronological order by date of founding. As for importance, I agree with Maunus, that the heritage missions get most attention. Of the non-heritage missions most information is likely available for San Ignacio de Velasco. One more comment: you write that "San Javier...was located in the area of the Piñocas tribe" This is probably correct, though all I know is that the first settlement (1691 before relocation) was located in the area and that the major group of Indian inhabitants were from the Piñocas tribe. Same with the other settlements. The column "Indians" should express which tribe was living in the respective settlement. This might or might not be identical with the area of the tribe. However I must admit that I don't know much about the tribes (reference suggestions welcome) to say where their territories were or if they had a fixed territory at all. One suggestion for the paragraph on San Javier: you could add directions by writing that the Paulistas came from Brazil (from the east) so that the mission first moved to the west (1696, 1698) and later (1708) it moved to the east since the Spanish came from the west. bamse ( talk) 06:57, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bamse! Well, I've only managed to add one more section and I believe I have even more questions than before. For instance, the Jackson source describes the relationship between mission and disease in the native population. The missions in Bolivia seem to have had less disease for a variety of reasons, which might be worth mentioning somewhere in the text.
The table-to-prose text is moving slowly because of challenges in the formatting. The images have to be sized to fit the paragraphs, but as the paragraphs are not in final format, I've decided to wait to finesse the images. For now, I've completed four rough drafts. You'll note I've left out Concepción because I went off track to try to determine the reasons for the various dates (which is where I stumbled across the information about disease and epidemics). I'll add Concepción where it belongs and flip the images of the others when I return to the computer. For now I wanted you to see how it looks and to have an opportunity to provide feedback. Thanks. Almost forgot to add the link to the sandbox! Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 22:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I see you've done excellent work on similar pages in the past, and I was wondering if maybe you could help expand the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Rangepage. I separated it from the Kii Peninsula page today, but I don't really have any resources on it, not even a list of the inscribed sites. If you have the time to make a broad outline with a table, I could probably fill in the rest with details/pictures. Not in a hurry though, just putting it on your radar. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your comments on the Gusuku site page. The Nikkō page is looking good as well! Yes, I know the Hōryū-ji Area site includes more than Hōryū-ji itself, I just thought it would look better that way on the template, lol. I've changed the template a bit now, tell me what you think. I'm not sure if a separate page should be created for it, though I think it might be a good idea in the long run just for the sake of "completeness". But I can't seem to find anywhere a complete list of buildings and monuments inscribed for the site, could you give me a link if you have one? ~ AMorozov 〈talk〉 02:22, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bamse. Some comments about the table to prose conversion: perhaps Maunus can clarify, but my impression is this would be a new section and as such not supplant the The Jesuits in Chiquitanía section. If so, then should the new prose section contain only the information formerly presented in the two tables, or would more text be added in about the mission from the Chiquitanía section? If the latter course is followed, I'm afraid the Chiquitanía section will shrink beyond a mere pruning. For now I've only converted the table text to prose. Also, I've formatted the first three with images lined up on the left, and the second three with images alternating left to right. Let me know which you prefer. Finally, Concepción is still blank, but may be done by the time you retrieve this message. The text will need rewriting as well as it's still in a rough form. As usual here's the sandbox. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 14:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

So far found two sentences to be rewritten that I've copied into the my sandbox and will work on later.
As for the adding balance, I don't know much about the Bolivian missions, but do know that the California missions destroyed the indigenous population & culture in a variety of ways. As one of your sources mentions, bringing disparate groups into a centralized location became a means for epidemics to spread amongst the native populations. Also, in California, diets were different, the hours of work different, and traditional clothing was discouraged in favour of European clothing. "Life in the Mission Towns" might be the section to add how the structured Jesuit routine clashed with the culture of the inhabitants. Again, just thinking off the top of my head, but presumably the methods used in the California missions were similar in all the colonies to some extent.
Also, a very minor point, but I will have to go to some style manuals to check the usage for "indian". Indian with a capitalized "I" is of the country India; my understanding is that without a tribal name indians (without a capital "I") is a generic term.
Finally, I hadn't watchlisted the review discussion page -- but have now. Given that Maunus isn't available at the time, the best we can do is work on the text to improve and improve, and research the I/indian culture.
Will continue adding sentences to my sandbox that need rewriting, and will let you know how the progress goes. I will be in and out on Wikipedia during the weekend, but also will make this my priority for now.

Hey. I saw you added a tag to this article asking for expansion. I've translated the Japanese article; you can see my raw translation here, and I'm going to try to incorporate that text into the main article. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 14:51, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi! Glad to here that you're interested. Among the programs: World Heritage Site, Biosphere Reserve, Masterpieces of Oral and Intagible Heritage, Memory of the World, and Geoparks. There is also the Creative Cities Network. Other listings not related to UNESCO I'm currently working on: WMF List of 100 Most Endangered Sites.

Hello,
About your request to do the Thousand-armed Kannon (千手観音, senju kan'non), I've decided to go ahead. It won't be translated at lightning speed because I'm learning to use a new CAT tool at the same time - and also it's my first day off from work in a long time so I'll be doing it in bits a pieces over the day. If I procrastinate too much and I don't finish it today, I have another day off tomorrow so worst case scenario it'll be done by then.
Just so you know, the article you linked me to is about the 千手観音 god herself and not any of the national treasure statues of her (although they are mentioned in places throughout the article). Is that still helpful to you? Either way it is quite an important topic culturally and should be in the English version of Wikipedia, and you can edit any way you like once I'm done. Gennoveus ( talk) 03:44, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, sorry but I don't have any dates. I just randomly encountered this article and removed the {{ current}} tag.

Hello Bamse, as you're the world's strongest and kindest bear, I wonder if I could ask you for a favour. I am looking for a very accurate translation of a few sentences from a German documentary about the death of Muhammad al-Durrah. The documentary is by Esther Shapira, and the section in question is here. I am looking for a translation of the words from 6:17 minutes to 7:04, beginning "Vater und Sohn können zur diesen Zeitpunkt auch nicht ...: at 6:17 to "die Lösung des Rätsels sein" at 7:04. There are only a few sentences in between but they are crucial. Two native English speakers have translated it already, but we still don't have clarity, so I'm hoping a native German will be able to put us right.
If you have time for this, you could leave it either on my talk page or at Talk:Muhammad al-Durrah#Back_to_discussion. And if you don't have time, don't worry. Thanks! SlimVirgin talk| contribs 18:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bamse! As per Tony1's comments, I took the initiative and rewrote the lead of Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos. I followed his comments, and essentially tightened the prose, eliminated some sentences as unnecessary to the lead and combined sentences. I've copied the old lead to the my sandbox in case we need it. Also, as per his comments, I think I need to spend some time going through the entire article and essentially jettisoning any statements that are too wordy, off focus or not necessary. Will wait for your approval before doing so, however. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 17:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bamse! I may have a little time to get started tomorrow, but I have a question about this phrase: "The origins of Shinto, the natural spirituality of Japan..." Does "naturally" refer to the fact that Shinto is a religion based on nature? As worded, the sentence means Shinto is a religion normal to Japan, but I'm not sure that's what you want. Can you clarify? Thanks. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 02:51, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
I followed your copy-edits in the "Japanese art sandbox" and agree with (and like) most of them. Only, "During this period the prevailing religion was Shinto..." needs to be modified. As far as I know, it is considered a "religion" some time around the introduction of Buddhism (mid 6th century). Also "prevailing" can be confusing as there was nothing besides nature spirituality/worship at that time in Japan. bamse ( talk) 16:17, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

It was not obvious to me that a site that said "monuments" could be about a bird, and in fact your first link goes to a page that doesn't mention this species, so it's a bit obscure. It might be better if you do it as an "In culture" section so that you can give it an appropriate context and an in-line reference, but if you want to just recreate as before I won't revert again, since this is obviously a good faith and relevant edit Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:48, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bamse! Lost power and internet Friday night, but now back. Fixed some of the most recent comments The Rambling Man made. I worked on this sentence/comment: ("This list presents eight" vs "In fact the number of structures presented is more than eight" one of these sentences, therefore, is incorrect. Or it just reads poorly. One way or another this could be fixed.") but want you to approve before noting as fixed.
Will get over to the other article very soon! Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 19:06, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bamse! I was still seeing a lot of white space on this article despite your valiant attempts to fill the gaps! I've been WP:Bold and tried a bit of reformatting before I had a look at the prose. If you hate the reformatting, or it looks terrible on your computer, go ahead and revert. The new prose looks good. I've made a few tweaks, and see a couple of other sentences that might need some more punctuation, but decided not to overlay the formatting edit even more than I already have. Will return to finish it later. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 21:48, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Have a look and let me know if anything else needs to be fixed. I don't really think it can be cut anymore (it least I wouldn't!) but one never knows what reviewers want.

Hi Bamse, I remember you were very helpful once before by translating a key passage from German for an article I was working on. I'm wondering whether you'd be willing to do this again for Death of Jeremiah Duggan. It's from a recent decision of the Bundesverfassungsgericht here. I don't need a precise translation; just a good sense of what's being said. These are the passages I'm interested in ideally, though it's a lot to ask, so if you have limited time even the translation of one paragraph would be extremely helpful, in the following order.
From section 1, paragraph 3:
Es gebe keine Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass der Sohn der Beschwerdeführerin nicht durch das von ihm selbst herbeigeführte Unfallgeschehen auf der Bundesstraße 455, sondern von unbekannten Dritten an anderer Stelle getötet und sodann zur Verschleierung der Tat von den Tätern auf diese Straße verbracht worden sein könnte. Die Richtigkeit einer solchen Annahme unterstellt, hätte zur Voraussetzung, dass mehrere Autofahrer, die zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten unterwegs gewesen seien, kollusiv zusammengewirkt und an der Konstruktion des von der Polizei und dem Sachverständigen vorgefundenen Unfallbildes zumindest mitbeteiligt gewesen seien. Eine solche Möglichkeit halte der Senat für abwegig.
Dass die vorgenannten Autofahrer nicht förmlich vernommen worden seien, erscheine bereits deswegen ohne Relevanz, weil nicht ersichtlich sei, dass eine förmliche Vernehmungsniederschrift ein anderes Ergebnis erbracht hätte. Auch eine Nachholung der Vernehmungen erscheine daher ungeachtet des Umstands, dass nach Ablauf von mehr als drei Jahren das Erinnerungsvermögen der Zeugen eher eingeschränkt sein dürfte, nicht ergiebig. Auch dass seinerzeit keine Obduktion des Leichnams des Sohnes der Beschwerdeführerin durchgeführt worden sei, könne vor dem Hintergrund, dass nicht zweifelhaft gewesen sei, dass das konkrete Unfallgeschehen zu seinem Tod geführt habe, nicht beanstandet werden. Eine solche erscheine zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ungeachtet ihrer Durchführbarkeit bereits deswegen nicht angezeigt, weil nicht ersichtlich sei, dass sie zu weitergehenden Erkenntnissen führen könnte.
Soweit die Beschwerdeführerin schließlich die Möglichkeit für gegeben erachte, dass manipulative Methoden im Organisationsbereich der „Polit-Sekte“ zu einer Einwirkung auf die psychische Integrität ihres Sohnes geführt hätten und dies die Ursache für das todbringende Geschehen gewesen sei, seien in diese Richtung zielende Ermittlungstätigkeiten bereits deswegen nicht angezeigt, weil aufgrund des Todeseintritts des Sohnes nicht mehr aufklärbar sei, was ihn letztlich zu seinem Handeln veranlasst habe.
From section 4, paragraph 1:
In ihrer Beschwerdeschrift trägt die Beschwerdeführerin vor, dass der angegriffene Beschluss vom 19. Juli 2006 sich mit ihren Argumenten nicht hinreichend auseinandersetze und den Antrag mit sachfremden Erwägungen zurückweise. So sei die Ansicht des Oberlandesgerichts, die fehlende förmliche Vernehmung der Autofahrer sei belanglos, weil nicht ersichtlich sei, dass eine förmliche Niederschrift ein anderes Ergebnis gebracht hätte, eine unzulässige „petitio principii“. Die Erfahrung zeige, dass eine verantwortliche Vernehmung Anhaltspunkte für weitere Ermittlungen ergeben könne, nämlich genaue Details sowie eventuelle Unklarheiten, Widersprüche und Ungereimtheiten. Auch dass eine Nachholung der Vernehmungen nach mehr als drei Jahren wegen des Erinnerungsvermögens nicht ergiebig sein könne, nehme das Ergebnis in unzulässiger Weise vorweg. Gerade Vorgänge wie tödliche Unfälle, die normalerweise nur einmal im Leben eines Menschen passierten, prägten sich zumindest im Kerngeschehen relativ deutlich ein, so dass eine mangelhafte oder gar fehlende Erinnerung eher Zweifel an der Richtigkeit begründen könnten. Ähnliches gelte hinsichtlich der Annahme, eine Obduktion könne schwerlich zu weitergehenden Erkenntnissen führen. Angesichts der neueren wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse und Untersuchungsmethoden dürfte das Gegenteil der Fall sein.
As I said, anything you can do would be extremely helpful, even if it's only a small part. And if you have no time or inclination, I'll understand completely, so please feel free to ignore this request entirely. :) SlimVirgin TALK contribs 00:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
The decision of the Bundesverfassungsgericht (BVerfG) concerns an appeal of the mother of Jeremiah Duggan against a decision of the Oberlandesgerichts Frankfurt am Main (which decided to stop the investigations into the murder case). The mother wants the investigations to continue.
Translation follows (my comments in italics):
section 1, paragraph 3: (If I understand correctly this paragraph is basically the reply of the Oberlandesgericht)
There are no indications that Jeremiah was killed at another spot and then (in order to conceal the act) brought to the B455. If this was the case (if he was killed somewhere else and brought here...) it would mean that several drivers, who were driving at different times, had cooperated to create the picture (in the sense of view, not a real picture) which the police holds of the accident. This, the senate thinks, is improbable/absurd.
The fact that the drivers were not questioned formally (probably means in writing) is irrelevant since it is not apparent how a formal hearing could have changed the result. For the same reason a hearing of the drivers now does not appear useful (besides, after more than three years their memory likely is rather limited). Also the fact that there was no autopsy after the event can not be objected to because there was no doubt that the accident caused his death. There is no good reason for an autopsy at this point of time because it is not apparent how an autopsy could result in additional insight.
There is no point investigating in the direction of "manipulative methods of the political sect affecting the psyche of Jeremiah and this being the reason for the event", because with the death of Jeremiah it is impossible to clarify what caused his action.
Here it goes...
section 4, paragraph 1 (concerns the appeal of the mother to the decision of the Oberlandesgericht; to make things easier, I just translate it in the voice of the mother, the text itself is written in neutral tone: she says... and so on)
The decision of July 19, 2006 (i.e. Oberlandesgericht) does not consider my arguments sufficiently and dismisses the petition with inappropriate/irrelevant considerations. The view of the Oberlandesgericht concerning the formal hearing of the drivers (see section 1 paragraph 3) is an impermissible "petitio principii". Experience shows that an accountable hearing (not sure what "verantwortlich" refers to hear, but surely the formal hearing is meant here) may provide clues for further investigations such as details, potential ambiguities, contradictions, inconsistencies. Also, that a hearing of the drivers after more than three years would not be fruitful because of their capacity for remembering, anticipates the outcome in an impermissible way. Particularly events such as fatal accidents, that generally happen only once in a lifetime, are remembered well at least in their core issues. A poor or even lacking memory would rather cast doubts on their correctness. A similar argument holds agains the claim that an autopsy would not lead to further insight. Due to new scientific knowledge and methods, rather the opposite should be true.
Done. Also checked the first part which should be correct now. Feel free to ask if something is unclear. Sorry for the poor English, I was more concerned about the correctness of the translation. bamse ( talk) 21:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen. Annahmegründe nach § 93a Abs. 2 BVerfGG liegen nicht vor. Die Annahme der Verfassungsbeschwerde ist - mangels hinreichender Aussicht auf Erfolg - insbesondere nicht zur Durchsetzung der als verletzt gerügten Rechte der Beschwerdeführerin angezeigt (vgl. BVerfGE 90, 22 <25 f.>). Die Verfassungsbeschwerde ist teilweise unzulässig (1.) und im Übrigen jedenfalls unbegründet (2.).
The appeal is not accepted for decision (meaning the BVerfG did not even consider it in detail). THere are no reasons to accept it. The appeal is (because of insufficient prospect of success) particularly not suited to assert the rights of the mother. The appeal is partially unacceptable/ineligible/inadmissible and for the rest groundless. bamse ( talk) 09:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Ungeachtet der möglichen Unzulässigkeit eines auf Wiederaufnahme der Ermittlungen gerichteten Klageerzwingungsantrags stellt das Oberlandesgericht vertretbar fest, dass es nicht erkennen könne, welche konkreten Ermittlungsmaßnahmen zu einem anderen Ergebnis führen könnten als demjenigen, wovon die Ermittlungsbehörden ausgegangenen seien, nämlich dem Selbstmord des Sohnes der Beschwerdeführerin. Das Oberlandesgericht nimmt zu der von der Beschwerdeführerin an den staatsanwaltlichen Bescheiden formulierten Kritik ausführlich Stellung. Es erklärt, weshalb es die von den Ermittlungsbehörden angenommene Hypothese des Selbstmords für zutreffend hält und warum die dagegen sprechenden, von der Beschwerdeführerin angeführten Indizien diese Hypothese nicht erschüttern können. Weder die förmliche Vernehmung bereits polizeilich vernommener Zeugen beziehungsweise weiterer Zeugen aus dem Kreis der Familie oder der „Polit-Sekte“ noch die Obduktion des Leichnams des Sohnes der Beschwerdeführerin können nach Ansicht des Oberlandesgerichts zu weitergehenden Erkenntnissen führen. Auf das infolge des Zeitablaufs von drei Jahren eingeschränkte Erinnerungsvermögen der Zeugen und die mittlerweile nicht mehr durchführbare Obduktion wird dabei nur ergänzend hingewiesen. Im Lichte dieser Begründung erscheint die Schlussfolgerung, dass die von der Beschwerdeführerin vorgeschlagenen Ermittlungsmaßnahmen zu keinem anderen Ergebnis führen könnten als dem des Selbstmords, als Konsequenz einer verfassungsgemäßen, die Konvention berücksichtigenden Würdigung der Ermittlungen und des Vorbringens der Beschwerdeführerin.

Hi. You commented at this Featured list candidate earlier, but the consensus was unclear, so I have restarted the nomination. Can you revisit this FLC and list your remaining concerns (if any are left), and if possible state whether you support, oppose, or are neutral on the candidate's promotion to FL status?

Hi, Bamse. I would like to use the User:Bamse/List_of_National_Treasures_(temples)#intro material you wrote for the article Buddhist temples in Japan, as you proposed, but it seems a shame to steal if from you now that there's little more to do to paste it in. Why not do it yourself? Busy? Frank (Urashima Tarō) ( talk) 03:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I missed your question on WP:talk Japan. Here is the answer. Happy editing! Oda Mari ( talk) 17:33, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bamse! I hope you don't mind that I've edited in mainspace instead of in a sandbox. I'm through with a first pass, but would like you to check the revisions. This sentence is confusing to me: Following the treatment of Buddhist relics, the cremated remains in a glass container were wrapped in a cloth and placed in an outer container.[36] Does this mean to follow a Buddhist practice, or after the Buddhists introduced a particular practice? Also, I don't think the text will suffer if you remove this sentence: According to an ancient Buddhist prophecy, the world would enter a dark period in 1051. Finally, I need to think about how to address the problem of the long paragraph. You have a good capacity of summarizing immense amounts of information, that, as a reader, I find interesting. Maybe leave in, but be prepared to remove if the reviewers suggest to do so? I'll be busy with work until Wednesday or Thursday. Might tweak a bit between now and then, but most likely will wait to do a second pass then. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 19:39, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, I saw your responses but haven't had the opportunity to return to the article. Will fix as soon as I can. I also saw JohnBod's comment - I left the modifier dangling when I restructured the sentences, so the revert is fine, but the sentence is long, so I may have another go at it again. The other fixes won't take long, and I'll take another pass through as well.

Honestly, I felt it wasn't my best effort - (the reason I went into a panic when I saw it listed at FA earlier today!). At any rate, I'm not surprised they have suggested a copy-edit - I'll do what I can, but suspect some prose tightening is in order.
To begin, I'd like to suggest removing the first 3 sentences from this paragraph: As a term "National Treasure" has been used in Japan since 1897, though the meaning changed in 1950. The significance of the term pre-1950 differs from the term in post-1950. Before 1950 "National Treasure" had been assigned to a much larger number of cultural properties, comparable to the current Important Cultural Properties and National Treasures combined. Japan has the most comprehensive network of legislation for protecting, preserving, and classifying its cultural patrimony.[1] The regard to physical and intangible properties and their protection is typical of the Japanese preservation and restoration protection.[2] Direct measures aimed at protecting designated National Treasures include restrictions on alterations, transfer and export and financial support in the form of grants and tax reduction. The Agency for Cultural Affairs provides owners with advice on restoration, administration and public display of the properties. These efforts are supplemented with laws that protect the built environment of designated structures and the necessary techniques for restoration of works.
I don't think the paragraph or the lead suffers from the strikeout/delete, as the information is well-explained in the body of the article. Just a thought... Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 19:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

That's all concerning your recent edits. I fixed one or two obvious typos myself and will now have a look at the comments by reviewers. bamse ( talk) 11:30, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for all those new improvements. All look fine, except for a minor issue (see your talk page). Yes, the authority moved from the national government to cities and prefectures. As for the "raw materials and tools", the source (from 1998) mentions a two year investigation that started in March 1998 with the aim "to survey the production and marketing of such tools and materials and the countrywide supply and demand and draw up measures to assure a long term supply.". I don't know what has become of this and if raw materials and tools are nowadays protected or subsidised. Since this fact only partially affects NT, I think it should be only mentioned briefly (if at all) the way it is now. Maybe "1998" as a date could be added. One more thing: in the second sentence of the article: "Tangible Cultural Property is considered to be...", shouldn't there be an article ("A") at the start? bamse ( talk) 09:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

While the articles discussing Japanese railway lines are notable and its nice to see someone paying attention, why are small stations such as Hon-Atsugi Station 本厚着駅 included? I can see the argument for large terminals, such as 東京, etc., but why include the smaller ones? Wikipedia isn't a train station directory. If we treated every station equally we would crash the wiki-servers.-- Shakujo 08:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article Hon-Atsugi Station, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.-- Shakujo 08:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

is a bit odd, in that the region: and type: parameters (and a couple of others) are separated by underscores rather than pipes, so they should be "...|region:BO-S_type:city|...".

Dear Bamse, I spotted on your userpage (linked from the feedback page) your contributions to physics articles, and I was wondering whether you could give a quick once-over to my article on probability amplitude, which I wrote a couple of months ago but have had little input on. After seeing my catastrophically loose wording turn what started off as a simple tweak to arg into a nightmare of typos, slips, and gaffes, I now seriously distrust my ability to write what I am saying, let alone thinking, so I appreciate a brief review there, if only for accuracy's sake and not readability. I think all my other contributions have been read enough that they should be safe. Thanks, Kan8eDie ( talk) 21:55, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello Bamse - Thank you for agreeing to adopt me!I am working on the Miyazawa Flutes page. When I originally created it, I had a section about Innovations and Technology, because that is what Miyazawa is known for. I had citations linking to educational articles on their website. And I had their website as a reference, also, but it is now gone. But I guess I did not do the citations correctly. I deleted the Innovations and Technology section since it was the section causing problems. Can you give me some guidance on how to make the citations correctly link to another website? And also how to add the website back as a reference?
I used other flute makers pages as a guide, so I'm confused why my page was tagged. (Other flute makers are Muramatsu Flutes, Powell Flutes, Brannen Brothers, Sankyo Flute Company, etc...)

It means exactly what I wrote. They may or may not be on display at any given moment, but the scrolls are 'entrusted' to those museums, and if they aren't on tour, that's where they're being stored. The Japanese word is 寄託 (= ~ bailment = transfer of possession without transfer of ownership). See for example: [1] Bueller 007 ( talk) 00:02, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Bamse. Checked the list and changed very little. I got rid of some occasional typos and: 1) hyphenated kondō, hondō and the like, as specified in the Manual of Style. Not many in Wikipedia do it, but it makes sense. 2) I capitalized The Twelve Heavenly Generals, because I figured it's a proper name as that of the Four Heavenly Kings. The Tokyo National Museum capitalizes it. 3) The last point concerns the difference in my treatment of Bodhisattvas, which I left with an s, and Bosatsus, where I removed the s. As a rule, in English foreign words do not take an s when they are pluralized, hence my choice of Bosatsu, and not Bosatsus. (Shogun for example takes an s because it's now considered an English word.) I think Bodhisattva is sufficiently known in English to be considered an English word, but it's only my opinion.
I hope I didn't fuck up any part of the table. If there is any problem, let me know.

Hi, Bamse. The sorting works fine, but I modified a sentence in the Usage section to mention the little arrows. I hadn't noticed them until you told me, so I figure it's better be safe and mention them. Feel free to revert if you think it's not necessary. I would say it's high time to publish the article. Thanks for the meticulous, hard work you put in it.
A small point: according to the manual of style, Shinto should be written with no macron because it's an English word now, but here I do not agree. Macrons should stay, because they are necessary to properly understand a word and how it's written. You used the macron. I would leave it, but someone sooner or later will remove it.

Bamse, my heartfelt apologies. Today I noticed for the first time your question: Is the double-hypenation correct or should it be "Shin Yakushi-ji" or "Shinyakushi-ji"?. Very sorry.
Looked it up on the net and, to my dismay, it seems it does have a hyphen after Shin. I had it wrong all these years. See Shin-Ōsaka Station. So, "Shin-Yakushi-ji". Don't like it, but there it is.
I have taken a look at the article. Coming along fine. I guess the next will be an article about the 12 Heavenly Generals. You have some of the material already there, ready to be pasted in. Urashima Tarō ( talk) 08:50, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

BTW, I took the liberty to fix the Buddha link in Twelve Heavenly Generals. In this case, Buddha means simply an illuminated person, and the link should direct to buddhahood (as it does in the page about Yakushi).
There is a useful convention, that however not many follow, according to which Buddha capitalized means the original, historical Buddha, whereas "buddha" in the lower case means an illuminated one. I left the original capital in your file, so you can decide what you want to do. Urashima Tarō ( talk) 23:48, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
HI bamse! I'm so sorry to have mangled your wonderful work on the Chiquitos article. I've re-edited to show that Schmid was both composer and priest. Unfortunately because I was only thinking about the words I confused father to be a person who has children which in that context would not have been relevant. That Schmid was a missionary priest is relevant. If you don't mind I'll continue slowly on your wonderful article that should have FA status.

Hi bamse! I've completed an initial pass through of the Chiquitos article. It's a very interesting article full of wonderful detail.

hi Bamse, WHO keeps a list of the latest statistics from each country. The most recent list is from 2008. WHO doesn't collect its own statistics but relies on the statistics it receives from each of its members, so the date after the statistics for each country reflects the age of the data collected by the member state, not the WHO list date. This means that some will be up-to-date whereas others are not. I think we probably need to make this point more clearly in the article. Jenafalt ( talk) 12:40, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I will be reviewing the article you nominated for GA over the next week at Talk:Jesuit_Missions_of_the_Chiquitos/GA1. Currently it is on hold as there are a few obvious problems to be fixed - they should be relatively easy to handle though. During the next days I will conduct a thorough review. ·Maunus·ƛ· 01:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bamse. Okay, I've gone through the article, looking specifically at the names. The problem is this section.
I'm sorry to see the tables gone, because as a reader, I enjoyed looking at the images, particularly Schmid's churches. I'd like to compare information in the tables with the information in the section marked above, because perhaps it can be combined, and perhaps, one of the tables (maybe even both) can be rewritten into prose as Maunus suggests.
Before starting the project of deleting the names of the Jesuits, I'd suggest adding information about the indians, again as he suggests. I'd imagine Maunus can steer you toward sources (if you don't already have them) for adding either a section about the impact by the missions on the native population, or of interweaving the information into separate sections.
In the meantime, if you don't mind, I'll make a copy of both tables and work on them in my sandbox, and see where that gets us with information. Then, the last step can be to determine which names to delete from the one long paragraph.
How does that sound for a plan? Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 12:48, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for the very late reply. I was changing continents in the meantime. Unfortunately I probably won't have much time to work on the article in the next couple of days either. Thanks Truthkeeper88 for starting to convert the tables to prose. (Very good job!) I think a prose version is visually better. On the other hand, with the tables it was easier to compare the misisons, for instance by sorting the columns according to the name of the settlement or the year of consturction/founding (by clicking on the arrows in the table header). Unfortunately we cannot have both, prose and easy accessibility. In any case I don't have strong objections to a prose conversion. It is a good idea to add the geo-coordinates as you did (and remove them from the "location" section later). I would favour a chronological order by date of founding. As for importance, I agree with Maunus, that the heritage missions get most attention. Of the non-heritage missions most information is likely available for San Ignacio de Velasco. One more comment: you write that "San Javier...was located in the area of the Piñocas tribe" This is probably correct, though all I know is that the first settlement (1691 before relocation) was located in the area and that the major group of Indian inhabitants were from the Piñocas tribe. Same with the other settlements. The column "Indians" should express which tribe was living in the respective settlement. This might or might not be identical with the area of the tribe. However I must admit that I don't know much about the tribes (reference suggestions welcome) to say where their territories were or if they had a fixed territory at all. One suggestion for the paragraph on San Javier: you could add directions by writing that the Paulistas came from Brazil (from the east) so that the mission first moved to the west (1696, 1698) and later (1708) it moved to the east since the Spanish came from the west. bamse ( talk) 06:57, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bamse! Well, I've only managed to add one more section and I believe I have even more questions than before. For instance, the Jackson source describes the relationship between mission and disease in the native population. The missions in Bolivia seem to have had less disease for a variety of reasons, which might be worth mentioning somewhere in the text.
The table-to-prose text is moving slowly because of challenges in the formatting. The images have to be sized to fit the paragraphs, but as the paragraphs are not in final format, I've decided to wait to finesse the images. For now, I've completed four rough drafts. You'll note I've left out Concepción because I went off track to try to determine the reasons for the various dates (which is where I stumbled across the information about disease and epidemics). I'll add Concepción where it belongs and flip the images of the others when I return to the computer. For now I wanted you to see how it looks and to have an opportunity to provide feedback. Thanks. Almost forgot to add the link to the sandbox! Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 22:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I see you've done excellent work on similar pages in the past, and I was wondering if maybe you could help expand the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Rangepage. I separated it from the Kii Peninsula page today, but I don't really have any resources on it, not even a list of the inscribed sites. If you have the time to make a broad outline with a table, I could probably fill in the rest with details/pictures. Not in a hurry though, just putting it on your radar. Thanks in advance. (Awesome pages on National Treasures of Japan, btw) ~ AMorozov 〈talk〉 07:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Just started Shrines and Temples of Nikkō. bamse ( talk) 20:20, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments on the Gusuku site page. The Nikkō page is looking good as well! Yes, I know the Hōryū-ji Area site includes more than Hōryū-ji itself, I just thought it would look better that way on the template, lol. I've changed the template a bit now, tell me what you think. I'm not sure if a separate page should be created for it, though I think it might be a good idea in the long run just for the sake of "completeness". But I can't seem to find anywhere a complete list of buildings and monuments inscribed for the site, could you give me a link if you have one? ~ AMorozov 〈talk〉 02:22, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bamse. Some comments about the table to prose conversion: perhaps Maunus can clarify, but my impression is this would be a new section and as such not supplant the The Jesuits in Chiquitanía section. If so, then should the new prose section contain only the information formerly presented in the two tables, or would more text be added in about the mission from the Chiquitanía section? If the latter course is followed, I'm afraid the Chiquitanía section will shrink beyond a mere pruning. For now I've only converted the table text to prose. Also, I've formatted the first three with images lined up on the left, and the second three with images alternating left to right. Let me know which you prefer. Finally, Concepción is still blank, but may be done by the time you retrieve this message. The text will need rewriting as well as it's still in a rough form. As usual here's the sandbox. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 14:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

So far found two sentences to be rewritten that I've copied into the my sandbox and will work on later.
As for the adding balance, I don't know much about the Bolivian missions, but do know that the California missions destroyed the indigenous population & culture in a variety of ways. As one of your sources mentions, bringing disparate groups into a centralized location became a means for epidemics to spread amongst the native populations. Also, in California, diets were different, the hours of work different, and traditional clothing was discouraged in favour of European clothing. "Life in the Mission Towns" might be the section to add how the structured Jesuit routine clashed with the culture of the inhabitants. Again, just thinking off the top of my head, but presumably the methods used in the California missions were similar in all the colonies to some extent.
Also, a very minor point, but I will have to go to some style manuals to check the usage for "indian". Indian with a capitalized "I" is of the country India; my understanding is that without a tribal name indians (without a capital "I") is a generic term.
Finally, I hadn't watchlisted the review discussion page -- but have now. Given that Maunus isn't available at the time, the best we can do is work on the text to improve and improve, and research the I/indian culture.
Will continue adding sentences to my sandbox that need rewriting, and will let you know how the progress goes. I will be in and out on Wikipedia during the weekend, but also will make this my priority for now.

Thanks for your new articles such as Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos/List of churches.

Hello,
About your request to do the Thousand-armed Kannon (千手観音, senju kan'non), I've decided to go ahead. It won't be translated at lightning speed because I'm learning to use a new CAT tool at the same time - and also it's my first day off from work in a long time so I'll be doing it in bits a pieces over the day. If I procrastinate too much and I don't finish it today, I have another day off tomorrow so worst case scenario it'll be done by then.
Just so you know, the article you linked me to is about the 千手観音 god herself and not any of the national treasure statues of her (although they are mentioned in places throughout the article). Is that still helpful to you? Either way it is quite an important topic culturally and should be in the English version of Wikipedia, and you can edit any way you like once I'm done. Gennoveus ( talk) 03:44, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, sorry but I don't have any dates. I just randomly encountered this article and removed the {{ current}} tag.

Hello Bamse, as you're the world's strongest and kindest bear, I wonder if I could ask you for a favour. I am looking for a very accurate translation of a few sentences from a German documentary about the death of Muhammad al-Durrah. The documentary is by Esther Shapira, and the section in question is here. I am looking for a translation of the words from 6:17 minutes to 7:04, beginning "Vater und Sohn können zur diesen Zeitpunkt auch nicht ...: at 6:17 to "die Lösung des Rätsels sein" at 7:04. There are only a few sentences in between but they are crucial. Two native English speakers have translated it already, but we still don't have clarity, so I'm hoping a native German will be able to put us right.
If you have time for this, you could leave it either on my talk page or at Talk:Muhammad al-Durrah#Back_to_discussion. And if you don't have time, don't worry. Thanks! SlimVirgin talk| contribs 18:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bamse! As per Tony1's comments, I took the initiative and rewrote the lead of Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos. I followed his comments, and essentially tightened the prose, eliminated some sentences as unnecessary to the lead and combined sentences. I've copied the old lead to the my sandbox in case we need it. Also, as per his comments, I think I need to spend some time going through the entire article and essentially jettisoning any statements that are too wordy, off focus or not necessary.

Hi Bamse! I may have a little time to get started tomorrow, but I have a question about this phrase: "The origins of Shinto, the natural spirituality of Japan..." Does "naturally" refer to the fact that Shinto is a religion based on nature? As worded, the sentence means Shinto is a religion normal to Japan, but I'm not sure that's what you want. Can you clarify? Thanks. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 02:51, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
I followed your copy-edits in the "Japanese art sandbox" and agree with (and like) most of them. Only, "During this period the prevailing religion was Shinto..." needs to be modified. As far as I know, it is considered a "religion" some time around the introduction of Buddhism (mid 6th century). Also "prevailing" can be confusing as there was nothing besides nature spirituality/worship at that time in Japan. bamse ( talk) 16:17, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

It was not obvious to me that a site that said "monuments" could be about a bird, and in fact your first link goes to a page that doesn't mention this species, so it's a bit obscure. It might be better if you do it as an "In culture" section so that you can give it an appropriate context and an in-line reference, but if you want to just recreate as before I won't revert again, since this is obviously a good faith and relevant edit Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:48, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bamse, I remember you were very helpful once before by translating a key passage from German for an article I was working on. I'm wondering whether you'd be willing to do this again for Death of Jeremiah Duggan. It's from a recent decision of the Bundesverfassungsgericht here. I don't need a precise translation; just a good sense of what's being said. These are the passages I'm interested in ideally, though it's a lot to ask, so if you have limited time even the translation of one paragraph would be extremely helpful, in the following order.
From section 1, paragraph 3:
Es gebe keine Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass der Sohn der Beschwerdeführerin nicht durch das von ihm selbst herbeigeführte Unfallgeschehen auf der Bundesstraße 455, sondern von unbekannten Dritten an anderer Stelle getötet und sodann zur Verschleierung der Tat von den Tätern auf diese Straße verbracht worden sein könnte. Die Richtigkeit einer solchen Annahme unterstellt, hätte zur Voraussetzung, dass mehrere Autofahrer, die zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten unterwegs gewesen seien, kollusiv zusammengewirkt und an der Konstruktion des von der Polizei und dem Sachverständigen vorgefundenen Unfallbildes zumindest mitbeteiligt gewesen seien. Eine solche Möglichkeit halte der Senat für abwegig.
Dass die vorgenannten Autofahrer nicht förmlich vernommen worden seien, erscheine bereits deswegen ohne Relevanz, weil nicht ersichtlich sei, dass eine förmliche Vernehmungsniederschrift ein anderes Ergebnis erbracht hätte. Auch eine Nachholung der Vernehmungen erscheine daher ungeachtet des Umstands, dass nach Ablauf von mehr als drei Jahren das Erinnerungsvermögen der Zeugen eher eingeschränkt sein dürfte, nicht ergiebig. Auch dass seinerzeit keine Obduktion des Leichnams des Sohnes der Beschwerdeführerin durchgeführt worden sei, könne vor dem Hintergrund, dass nicht zweifelhaft gewesen sei, dass das konkrete Unfallgeschehen zu seinem Tod geführt habe, nicht beanstandet werden. Eine solche erscheine zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ungeachtet ihrer Durchführbarkeit bereits deswegen nicht angezeigt, weil nicht ersichtlich sei, dass sie zu weitergehenden Erkenntnissen führen könnte.
Soweit die Beschwerdeführerin schließlich die Möglichkeit für gegeben erachte, dass manipulative Methoden im Organisationsbereich der „Polit-Sekte“ zu einer Einwirkung auf die psychische Integrität ihres Sohnes geführt hätten und dies die Ursache für das todbringende Geschehen gewesen sei, seien in diese Richtung zielende Ermittlungstätigkeiten bereits deswegen nicht angezeigt, weil aufgrund des Todeseintritts des Sohnes nicht mehr aufklärbar sei, was ihn letztlich zu seinem Handeln veranlasst habe.
From section 4, paragraph 1:
In ihrer Beschwerdeschrift trägt die Beschwerdeführerin vor, dass der angegriffene Beschluss vom 19. Juli 2006 sich mit ihren Argumenten nicht hinreichend auseinandersetze und den Antrag mit sachfremden Erwägungen zurückweise. So sei die Ansicht des Oberlandesgerichts, die fehlende förmliche Vernehmung der Autofahrer sei belanglos, weil nicht ersichtlich sei, dass eine förmliche Niederschrift ein anderes Ergebnis gebracht hätte, eine unzulässige „petitio principii“. Die Erfahrung zeige, dass eine verantwortliche Vernehmung Anhaltspunkte für weitere Ermittlungen ergeben könne, nämlich genaue Details sowie eventuelle Unklarheiten, Widersprüche und Ungereimtheiten. Auch dass eine Nachholung der Vernehmungen nach mehr als drei Jahren wegen des Erinnerungsvermögens nicht ergiebig sein könne, nehme das Ergebnis in unzulässiger Weise vorweg. Gerade Vorgänge wie tödliche Unfälle, die normalerweise nur einmal im Leben eines Menschen passierten, prägten sich zumindest im Kerngeschehen relativ deutlich ein, so dass eine mangelhafte oder gar fehlende Erinnerung eher Zweifel an der Richtigkeit begründen könnten. Ähnliches gelte hinsichtlich der Annahme, eine Obduktion könne schwerlich zu weitergehenden Erkenntnissen führen. Angesichts der neueren wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse und Untersuchungsmethoden dürfte das Gegenteil der Fall sein.
As I said, anything you can do would be extremely helpful, even if it's only a small part. And if you have no time or inclination, I'll understand completely, so please feel free to ignore this request entirely. :) SlimVirgin TALK contribs 00:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
The decision of the Bundesverfassungsgericht (BVerfG) concerns an appeal of the mother of Jeremiah Duggan against a decision of the Oberlandesgerichts Frankfurt am Main (which decided to stop the investigations into the murder case). The mother wants the investigations to continue.
Translation follows (my comments in italics):
section 1, paragraph 3: (If I understand correctly this paragraph is basically the reply of the Oberlandesgericht)
There are no indications that Jeremiah was killed at another spot and then (in order to conceal the act) brought to the B455. If this was the case (if he was killed somewhere else and brought here...) it would mean that several drivers, who were driving at different times, had cooperated to create the picture (in the sense of view, not a real picture) which the police holds of the accident. This, the senate thinks, is improbable/absurd.
The fact that the drivers were not questioned formally (probably means in writing) is irrelevant since it is not apparent how a formal hearing could have changed the result. For the same reason a hearing of the drivers now does not appear useful (besides, after more than three years their memory likely is rather limited). Also the fact that there was no autopsy after the event can not be objected to because there was no doubt that the accident caused his death. There is no good reason for an autopsy at this point of time because it is not apparent how an autopsy could result in additional insight.
There is no point investigating in the direction of "manipulative methods of the political sect affecting the psyche of Jeremiah and this being the reason for the event", because with the death of Jeremiah it is impossible to clarify what caused his action.
Here it goes...
section 4, paragraph 1 (concerns the appeal of the mother to the decision of the Oberlandesgericht; to make things easier, I just translate it in the voice of the mother, the text itself is written in neutral tone: she says... and so on)
The decision of July 19, 2006 (i.e. Oberlandesgericht) does not consider my arguments sufficiently and dismisses the petition with inappropriate/irrelevant considerations. The view of the Oberlandesgericht concerning the formal hearing of the drivers (see section 1 paragraph 3) is an impermissible "petitio principii". Experience shows that an accountable hearing (not sure what "verantwortlich" refers to hear, but surely the formal hearing is meant here) may provide clues for further investigations such as details, potential ambiguities, contradictions, inconsistencies. Also, that a hearing of the drivers after more than three years would not be fruitful because of their capacity for remembering, anticipates the outcome in an impermissible way. Particularly events such as fatal accidents, that generally happen only once in a lifetime, are remembered well at least in their core issues. A poor or even lacking memory would rather cast doubts on their correctness. A similar argument holds agains the claim that an autopsy would not lead to further insight. Due to new scientific knowledge and methods, rather the opposite should be true.
Done. Also checked the first part which should be correct now. Feel free to ask if something is unclear. Sorry for the poor English, I was more concerned about the correctness of the translation. bamse ( talk) 21:16, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen. Annahmegründe nach § 93a Abs. 2 BVerfGG liegen nicht vor. Die Annahme der Verfassungsbeschwerde ist - mangels hinreichender Aussicht auf Erfolg - insbesondere nicht zur Durchsetzung der als verletzt gerügten Rechte der Beschwerdeführerin angezeigt (vgl. BVerfGE 90, 22 <25 f.>). Die Verfassungsbeschwerde ist teilweise unzulässig (1.) und im Übrigen jedenfalls unbegründet (2.).
The appeal is not accepted for decision (meaning the BVerfG did not even consider it in detail). THere are no reasons to accept it. The appeal is (because of insufficient prospect of success) particularly not suited to assert the rights of the mother. The appeal is partially unacceptable/ineligible/inadmissible and for the rest groundless. bamse ( talk) 09:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Ungeachtet der möglichen Unzulässigkeit eines auf Wiederaufnahme der Ermittlungen gerichteten Klageerzwingungsantrags stellt das Oberlandesgericht vertretbar fest, dass es nicht erkennen könne, welche konkreten Ermittlungsmaßnahmen zu einem anderen Ergebnis führen könnten als demjenigen, wovon die Ermittlungsbehörden ausgegangenen seien, nämlich dem Selbstmord des Sohnes der Beschwerdeführerin. Das Oberlandesgericht nimmt zu der von der Beschwerdeführerin an den staatsanwaltlichen Bescheiden formulierten Kritik ausführlich Stellung. Es erklärt, weshalb es die von den Ermittlungsbehörden angenommene Hypothese des Selbstmords für zutreffend hält und warum die dagegen sprechenden, von der Beschwerdeführerin angeführten Indizien diese Hypothese nicht erschüttern können. Weder die förmliche Vernehmung bereits polizeilich vernommener Zeugen beziehungsweise weiterer Zeugen aus dem Kreis der Familie oder der „Polit-Sekte“ noch die Obduktion des Leichnams des Sohnes der Beschwerdeführerin können nach Ansicht des Oberlandesgerichts zu weitergehenden Erkenntnissen führen. Auf das infolge des Zeitablaufs von drei Jahren eingeschränkte Erinnerungsvermögen der Zeugen und die mittlerweile nicht mehr durchführbare Obduktion wird dabei nur ergänzend hingewiesen. Im Lichte dieser Begründung erscheint die Schlussfolgerung, dass die von der Beschwerdeführerin vorgeschlagenen Ermittlungsmaßnahmen zu keinem anderen Ergebnis führen könnten als dem des Selbstmords, als Konsequenz einer verfassungsgemäßen, die Konvention berücksichtigenden Würdigung der Ermittlungen und des Vorbringens der Beschwerdeführerin.

Hi! FYI. Please take a look at these. [7] and [8]. Inō Tadataka's maps and his surveying instruments and this will be National Treasure soon. Plus 36 other things (paintings, sculpture, documents, etc.) will be jyuyobunnkazai. Note:the links might be dead in days. Oda Mari ( talk) 15:23, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bamse. Thanks for your review of the above FLC. If possible, can you cap your resolved comments and if you so feel inclined indicate whether you support, oppose or are neutral toward the list's promotion to FL status? Thanks, Dabomb87 ( talk) 22:08, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bamse! You didn't make a fuss at all. I've been busy with other articles and have plenty of work. If you don't mind, when I have time I might dip into the article every now and then to work on the prose. I hope all is well and that you enjoy your wikibreak!

Hi there Bamse :), I noticed your username on Translators Available German to English. I was wondering if you could help with updating Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the German Wikipedia? Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the English Wikipedia has been majorly revamped- particularly, its being treated as a BLP now, since no ones been able to find evidence of his death. I'm sorry to say I know little German, so I'd really appreciate your help in this :), although I understand if you don't have the time. Thanks in advance!

You once did a '"workover" of references for the New Netherland article that was really helpful. I wonder if you wouldn't mind, time permitting, to do the same for Ellis Island, which I have been revamping. Much appreictaed. Djflem ( talk) 07:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi. You commented at this Featured list candidate earlier, but the consensus was unclear, so I have restarted the nomination. Can you revisit this FLC and list your remaining concerns (if any are left), and if possible state whether you support, oppose, or are neutral on the candidate's promotion to FL status? Thanks, Dabomb87 ( talk) 03:18, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Bamse. I would like to use the User:Bamse/List_of_National_Treasures_(temples)#intro material you wrote for the article Buddhist temples in Japan, as you proposed, but it seems a shame to steal if from you now that there's little more to do to paste it in. Why not do it yourself? Busy? Frank (Urashima Tarō) ( talk) 03:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
OK, will do. Take care, and I hope there will be more chances to collaborate in the future. Frank (Urashima Tarō) ( talk) 10:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi! I missed your question on WP:talk Japan. Here is the answer. Happy editing! Oda Mari ( talk) 17:33, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bamse! I hope you don't mind that I've edited in mainspace instead of in a sandbox. I'm through with a first pass, but would like you to check the revisions. This sentence is confusing to me: Following the treatment of Buddhist relics, the cremated remains in a glass container were wrapped in a cloth and placed in an outer container.[36] Does this mean to follow a Buddhist practice, or after the Buddhists introduced a particular practice? Also, I don't think the text will suffer if you remove this sentence: According to an ancient Buddhist prophecy, the world would enter a dark period in 1051. Finally, I need to think about how to address the problem of the long paragraph. You have a good capacity of summarizing immense amounts of information, that, as a reader, I find interesting. Maybe leave in, but be prepared to remove if the reviewers suggest to do so? I'll be busy with work until Wednesday or Thursday. Might tweak a bit between now and then, but most likely will wait to do a second pass then. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 19:39, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, I saw your responses but haven't had the opportunity to return to the article. Will fix as soon as I can. I also saw JohnBod's comment - I left the modifier dangling when I restructured the sentences, so the revert is fine, but the sentence is long, so I may have another go at it again. The other fixes won't take long, and I'll take another pass through as well.

Honestly, I felt it wasn't my best effort - (the reason I went into a panic when I saw it listed at FA earlier today!). At any rate, I'm not surprised they have suggested a copy-edit - I'll do what I can, but suspect some prose tightening is in order.
To begin, I'd like to suggest removing the first 3 sentences from this paragraph: As a term "National Treasure" has been used in Japan since 1897, though the meaning changed in 1950. The significance of the term pre-1950 differs from the term in post-1950. Before 1950 "National Treasure" had been assigned to a much larger number of cultural properties, comparable to the current Important Cultural Properties and National Treasures combined. Japan has the most comprehensive network of legislation for protecting, preserving, and classifying its cultural patrimony.[1] The regard to physical and intangible properties and their protection is typical of the Japanese preservation and restoration protection.[2] Direct measures aimed at protecting designated National Treasures include restrictions on alterations, transfer and export and financial support in the form of grants and tax reduction. The Agency for Cultural Affairs provides owners with advice on restoration, administration and public display of the properties. These efforts are supplemented with laws that protect the built environment of designated structures and the necessary techniques for restoration of works.
I don't think the paragraph or the lead suffers from the strikeout/delete, as the information is well-explained in the body of the article. Just a thought... Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 19:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Some more comments:
That's all concerning your recent edits. I fixed one or two obvious typos myself and will now have a look at the comments by reviewers. bamse ( talk) 11:30, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for all those new improvements. All look fine, except for a minor issue (see your talk page). Yes, the authority moved from the national government to cities and prefectures. As for the "raw materials and tools", the source (from 1998) mentions a two year investigation that started in March 1998 with the aim "to survey the production and marketing of such tools and materials and the countrywide supply and demand and draw up measures to assure a long term supply.". I don't know what has become of this and if raw materials and tools are nowadays protected or subsidised. Since this fact only partially affects NT, I think it should be only mentioned briefly (if at all) the way it is now. Maybe "1998" as a date could be added. One more thing: in the second sentence of the article: "Tangible Cultural Property is considered to be...", shouldn't there be an article ("A") at the start? bamse ( talk) 09:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
