In the http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ku_%28kana%29&diff=198155624&oldid=195292345 of Ku (kana), why is q appearing before qw in the "Other additional forms" table? Is it because it appeared first in Japanese literature or is it because it is more common? Asrghasrhiojadrhr ( talk) 04:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Nihonjoe, I was hoping you could please look up for me in Mechademia 1 the review/commentary which compares Maria-sama ga Miteru and Azumanga Daioh by Marc Hairston, of course, at your convenience and leisure. Thanks for your time. - Malkinann ( talk) 06:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I notice from the MoS guideling on Japanese stlye that you have a template there and appear to know a thing or two about it. I was wondering if you could give me your advice about a page I came across recently. 坂本 is the redirect. I had figured it for nonsense until it was redirected to a disambig. I had requested speedy on it and the author kept removing the tag. I now think it just needs a more clear title but I can't make out what I'm looking for in the MoS. Any thoughts would be appreciated. SynergeticMaggot ( talk) 09:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
The CJKV taskforce has been created to assist in disambiguation of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese when using Kyūjitai, Hanja, Hán tự, Simplified Chinese, and Shinjitai ( Kanji).

Hi Nihonjoe and thank you for your message. Sorry I didn't know the standard way of moving the article. I first moved David Weber to David Weber (science fiction writer). I then made the David Weber page into a list of people named David Weber with appropriate links to the clarinetist and science fiction writer. Somehow someone changed the David Weber page to make it loop back on itself and I couldn't find the science fiction writer's page to restore what had been changed. I saw something about a "housekeeping" measure and it wasn't clear what was meant by this. So as a interim measure until the David Weber (science fiction writer) page was restored/found, I undid the self-loop on the David Weber page and directed it to the David Weber (clarinetist) page, with the intention of changing it to a page with links to both the clarinetist and science fiction writer once the latter's page reappeared out of housekeeping. Could we model the David Weber page after this one on Emma Johnson? - Casadesus —Preceding unsigned comment added by Casadesus ( talk • contribs) 02:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Nihonjoe. Mainichi has this interesting little article on Tezuka Productions' newest incarnation of Astro Boy. Not sure which article it should go in, but it should go somewhere, I would think:

Hi, I'm just writing to you to request your help and assistance in referencing the Japanese Music Charts. Through out alot of popular english songs I have viewed I have noticed that they have been noted as performing well in Japan and have also read that the Japanese music market it very big. But in saying this every song I have seen has not got a Japanese chart position in the charts box. So if you are into music and willing to try and provide information on the Japanese Music Charts it would be greatly appreciated so then wikipedia users can start adding the Japanese chart positions into the chart boxes for popular songs.

Hi, Nihonjoe. I know this has nothing to do with English Wikipedia, but there are some errors I have fixed on Japanese Wikipedia, but some of those revisions I have made to fix the errors were reverted. That's what bugs me about that Wikipedia. For example, the Japanese article on Norio Wakamoto has his blood type listed incorrectly, and the JA article on Yasunori Masutani has the incorrect birthyear. I've corrected both of those, but they were later changed back to the misinformation. Kitty53 ( talk) 21:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Please take a look at the intro of the article. I don't understand the edit by the user Globalscene. It seems to me that is a pro-Korean edit. And as far as I know, yakuza has nothing to do with the Japanese culture but the recent pop culture. I reverted the user's edit a few times, thinking it was a mistake or vandalism. But the user reverted my edit as vandalism and I asked him/her about his/her edit. But no reply. I just don't know what to do. Please help me. Thank you. Oda Mari ( talk) 15:50, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight ( talk) 17:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Deepest apologies. I'm more than willing to oblige.

This user, 198.85.213.1 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), is not listening and reverting edits again. I've already reminded him about edit warring, but it seems does not listen, he again reverted valid reverts on Makie Sasaki and especially Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: The Movie. He's getting on everybody's nerves now. Clearly WP:BRD will never work with this editor. You can also take a look his reverts at Chachamaru Karakuri and Evangeline A.K. McDowell.
I hope regardless of whether you are aware of the subjects of the two articles or not, you will do something about this. This user's edits are now becoming desctrutive. I've already tried WP:AN/I, but so far, it has gotten no response.
What can you about this user? Can this address be blocked because of his actions? I hope you respond ASAP. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 07:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
