For some time I have been wondering at the back of my brain how to deal with some of the magazines in {{ MediaWorks Japan}}, especially the discontinued ones which have very little too them, and since they're discontinued, will undoubutfully remain stubs indefinitely (not to mention that I doubt there is almost anyone who wants to write info about a defuct Japanese magazine). Back when I created the articles, I don't know what was going through my head, but I feel that they should have been merged into a List of magazines published by MediaWorks article, or the like. The thought had just crossed my mind that I could merge all the defunct ones in there, and possibly some of the more lesser-known active magazines by taking a look at the "What links here" special page for each article. Judging how many times it's been linked I think it a fair way to judge which ones I should and should not merge wholly into the article.
But of course, it wouldn't be a comprehensive list if we left out the really notable ones like Dengeki Daioh or Dengeki G's Magazine which have a lot of links. So I thought I could incorperate all the magazines into a header system not unlike List of Kanon soundtracks or the like, or List of Haruhi Suzumiya light novels where each different novel is under a different heading. That way I could keep the magazine infoboxes, and what little we have of the descriptions can be merged and generally handled better with all of them being together like this. For the more notable ones, I thought about adding in the lead paragraph of those articles into the description on the list article and linking to the main articles with the {{ main}} template.
I wanted to know your opinion on all this, and whether I should just leave it be or not.-- 十 八 06:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Actually, one of the chapters of Yotsuba&! is done in yonkoma -- the unnumbered "intermission" in volume 4. I don't know if that justifies it being in the category, though. — Quasirandom 17:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello. At the FLC for the above article, a concern was brought up whether at chapter 57, the translation stops including the word "part." If I recall, you aided me in a translation issue here before, and given my ineptitude at Japanese, I would greatly appreciate clarification here. Much appreciated.

Hi, I noticed you were one of the few people that thought the List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games had some useful information and it should be meged, and I wanted to invite you to its talk page to see what we've been working on, however the two normal page maintainers seem to not want to discuss it even the one that tried to delete the Japanese page. So far it seems to be pretty good, with one entry per program and alternate names and region names listed in a separate column next to the main Wikipedia title used here. I was able to look up and get Japanese texts for all the Japanese releases so hopefully it'll look a bit better without some names and not others listed in Japanese, they're not officially labeled that way, but can be found online, and just like Romanji titles that also aren't technically official titles but more like pronunciation keys to read the titles, since most of them arn't spelled that way on the boxes. Let us know what you think of the examples we've made there. Have a great day. Talk:List of Nintendo 64 games ( Floppydog66 13:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC))

Hi, Nihonjoe. I've been working away in the neglected field of Japanese erotic cinema for a while, and another admin has suggested I try putting one of these articles through the GA process. With that in mind, could you, or one of the other Japan-editors take a look at Tetsuji Takechi for any glaring Japan-article-standards-related problems? My main concern at the moment is the list of writings... Takechi published a lot, but I've only found four of his books with English/Romaji translations/transliterations (from a footnote in a book by Nagisa Oshima), and found the Kanji & publication dates for those through Amazon Japan. I've compiled a larger list of writings from Amazon Japan, and will put that work-in-progress in a work-file tomorrow (I've just accidentally deleted it from my drive, so I can't post them right now...) What I will need to find for these titles are English/Romaji & some ISBN numbers. If you know of any sort of literary database on the lines of JMDB. Any help you can point me to will be much appreciated. Thanks! Dekkappai 20:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nihonjoe! I hope you don't mind my bugging you for yet another magazine article; I've been working on articles related to Le Chevalier D'Eon recently, and there are barely any sources for me to cite. I found out just yesterday that the series was featured in that particular issue of Newtype USA, and I was wondering if you could let me know what information was included in that issue so that I can add it to the series' article. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the trouble! -- SilentAria talk 16:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, NihonJoe. In Ian Buruma's Behind the Mask: On Sexual Demons, Sacred Mothers, Transvestites, Gangsters, Drifters, and Other Japanese Cultural Heroes, I came across the following bit on Takechi: "...describes himself as a minzokkushugisha, literally an ethnic nationalist, a position that has strong racialist overtones." (Side note: I find the book's accuracy very questionable in many parts, and sometimes even have my doubts about Buruma's Japanese language ability. But then I'm hardly an expert...) The nearest I can find for Buruma's phrase "minzokkushugisha" is minzoku shugisha (民族主義者), which both the Japanese and Chinese Wikipedias equate with simply Nationalism. Obviously, racial overtones do come into "Nationalism" in Japan, as they do in other countries. Also, I know that Takechi was pretty close with Yukio Mishima, and shared some of his eccentric nationalistic/racial views. Anyway, my question: Do you think Buruma's translation of 民族主義者 as "ethnic nationalist... with strong racialist overtones" is accurate, and should I take it as such? Or should I just note it as one interpretation by one published source/writer? Dekkappai 22:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I see by the Anime and manga magazine topic archive that you have the complete run of 2005 of Newtype USA.
