Sorry about that stray character. I should have previewed my changes before I submitted my comment. I think i must have accidentally pasted that macron up there. I had that macroned "O" copied because I was using it in my prior question. Wow, you like Japan and you use Mac OS X Tiger on a G4 Powerbook, just like me! Ja Mata.

Could you please advise those who pass by exactly why you are so pompous and are an Administrator on the English Language Wikipedia? I mean, why don't you just stick to the Japanese version? How would you like it if we all piled in to the Japanese version asking for Administrator rights and then started postulating on this and that and Japanese Law? Naturally you'd be mortified. 213.122.8.65 19:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
The Station Name (Prefecture) style for disambigging stations pre-dates my time on Wikipedia, but afaik, Prefecture after the name of the prefecture has not been used until now. Having thought about it, I'm not able to convince myself that one way is any better than the other ( Yamanouchi Station (Hiroshima Prefecture) versus Yamanouchi Station (Hiroshima)); but, I think that consistency is a good thing to strive for. Are you gearing up to make an ammendment to the style page of the project?
Another thing I noticed is that on the Geibi Line articles, you haven't been adding the stations to Category:Railway stations in Hiroshima Prefecture. I know that Category:Geibi Line is a sub-cat of the prefecture cat;, but, it is also a sub-cat of Okayama's prefecture cat. I planned to add the categories to the new articles, but since I'm already harassing you here, I thought I'd go ahead and check if you have a method to your madness.

Can you delete this page please: [[Talk:User:Nihon?/Sandbox]]. It was mistakenly created by a bot and it's clogging up my precious Category:Unassessed anime and manga articles. -- Squilibob 10:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

User talk:4.23.83.100 a repeat violator of the NPOV rules, has done it again on the Japanese war crimes article. I left a warning on what I believe is a sock puppet of his/hers, and then he repeated it again in the article. Anything we can do to get him to knock it off? Cla68 10:27, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I note that you changed the category this article was filed under from "Latter-day Saints" to "Ex-Mormons". If you have a cite that explains that a) Gregerson left the church or b) that he was excommunicated it would be greatly appreciated. - Chadbryant 08:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Check this out: Talk:Dokdo#Rename_vote. The poll appears to be started by a single purpose account/user. There is no ending date and it's not even listed in WP:RFPM. Is it a valid poll?-- Endroit 16:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
I found another overexaggerated map Image:Baekje power.jpg, and it's up for deletion here. This map shows overexaggerated borders for Baekje, similar to Goguryeo h.jpg we saw on August 29. Please comment or vote for/against deletion there. Thank you.-- Endroit 14:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, the Openbox user account made this template - am I right to think you're in control of it or something? Either way, I'd like to remove non-active ships (or non-future ones) from the template. I think it's not sensible to have every single post-war class on there. It's just too large at the moment and needs to be cut down - this would happen if bits were cut off. I'll do it myself, I just want to know that it's ok. Please respond on my talk page - cheers. John Smith's 16:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Ok and can I change the template name to "JMSDF Combatant Ships", or something? "Combatant Ship" sounds like Engrish.... John Smith's 16:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't think I've ever dealt with someone as hard to reason with as Whiffle. He's not interested in working anything out at all, but rather seems to be interested in talking about how much he knows and how stupid the rest of us are. I'm being a good admin, though, and letting him dig himself a hole he can't get out of before I do anything. Any ideas for how to reason with him? ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
So i am really new to making wiki pages, but I was just wonder what considers something as an advert? I tried to create a page on Innes clothing, because I really like the company and on the Flogging Molly page, there is a reference to Innes Clothing and an internal link, but there was no page there so I thought it would help to give the link some meaning. So an explanation about the company's history and how the owner is in a punk band is considered a blatant add? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joey axel ( talk • contribs) .
See what you're saying so what about this approach: Since NIIT has been around for a long time and still looks like an advert, how 'bout I put it in AfD to see if we can stir some editors to take an interest and fix it up?
BTW, while I'm here, you couldn't please take a look at Robert Lawrence Kuhn. It looks like a hagiography created by one user using a series of differnt anon IPs. History shows editing by a series of IP addresses, each address has only been used to edit the biography. Author has highly detailed knowledge. If this is not outright autobiography then it's at least someone who knows the author down to the contents of his CV. Mata ne -- Saganaki- 05:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I very seriously disagree with Joe Leste being "non-notable". sure, he may not be as notable as Eddie Van Halen, for example... Gringo300 10:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, David L. Cohen, which you deleted as a non-notable vanity page, has been recreated. I've tagged it with {{ db-recreated}}. FYI. - CobaltBlueTony 17:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I apoligize, I am new at this, but I have been following the guidlines as close as possible to create the 'Daniel D. Griffin' page, and before I could finish making more modifications according to Wiki's guidlines, it showed you had deleted the article, despite me putting a tag at the top that I was editing it. I would ask what criteria I needed to modify, but the page is gone. Could you please explain what I was doing wrong?

I added the speedy delete tag when it was just a single line, and at the time he certainly wasn't notable. Thanks for looking though. Y control 19:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
It looks somewhat better, although you might have to change some of the text around a bit, because it still looks quite a bit like the deleted version. -- Core des at 20:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I disagree that Octarium is non-notable. they are new on the scene, but are quickly making quite the name for themselves ... they've also just released a CD that is sure to gain some attention. Could you please be more specific about your issue and/or make suggestions for correcting the problem? I'm new at this. Thanks much. ((subst:unsigned|Lee Heeter}}

i do not understand all this stuff, its extremely complicating but i have a complaint, i do not understand why my article keeps getting deleted. Its about the history of carsunder10k.com and its founders. We are asked many times about our history from people in many social communities. I wanted to post it so we could redirect them their and people could find it on the web but you keep deleting it. I do not care to use your service as an advertisement hub. We are our own media hub. thanks

This is my first Wikipedia entry. Much more involved than originally planned.
The post was rejected once because of lack of notoriety. In attempt to prove the the subject of this bio page is noteable, links to books, radio programs and other supporting websites were added as hrefs in the body, which was in turn mis-interpreted as SPAM.
Before it was deleted, links to outside content was deleted (except for a link to the website of the subject of the bio), but the document was protected anyway.
Could you please reconsider?
Hi Joe, would you translate for me the postal address of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters in Kasumigaseki?
On the website it is 東京都千代田区 霞ヶ関2-1-1 (I think) Thank you!

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Meido - Just a note...I've been told numerous times that "Delete and Merge" was an invalid AFD vote because it violates the GFDL. The GFDL apparently has a requirement that the history of authorship for the article needs to be preserved. The article should be redirected after the content is merged or the history of the article needs to be noted on the talk page. -- Kunzite 20:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
please to do not remove the tags that I have put in the articles for deletion. If you would read the discussion page, you would see why I went through all of this trouble. -- Monkeyheadster 20:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for giving me a hard time and forcing me to prove empirically that the band was non-notable. Had I been able to axe a somewhat detailed and lengthy article without debate, I would have been somewhat unnerved at how easy it is to get an article deleted. ジョーさん ありがとう。 EvilCouch 02:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
