Although you've said "no" already, I write again to invite you to join others in becoming a co-mentor for me.
You may be unaware that the "Finding of facts" in the decision at Tang Dynasty explicitly encompasses a message on your talk page -- see User talk:Nihonjoe#Seeking help in presenting thoughts clearly
Your experience in the development of East Asian Wikipedia articles will help remedy a deficit in the composition of a small group. The nascent status of a mentorship committee is clarified in the currently active thread at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification/Tang Dynasty. Hopefully, this mentorship experiment will prove to be more effective and less burdensome than previous wiki-mentoring schemes.
This is a time for hortatory concepts. Do you know this one?
If Wikiquote:Helen Keller#Misattributed is to believed, then I am not alone in linking these words with Helen Keller. The salient question becomes this: Does precise attribution matter in the context of a teachable moment? No – not always, but often.
What can I say or do to convince you to agree tentatively?
Core policies are the tools at hand; and if you agree to help connect the dots, it could benefit more than me. In this search for a mentor deemed acceptable by ArbCom, I cite Wikipedia:Mentorship#Unintended consequences as a plausible context for discussing what I have in mind.
Your background causes me to share something already explained to another prospective mentor, "Among a prospective mentor's many burdens, the most difficult would involve (a) helping me discern why or when I should apologize or (b) helping me to explain why or when I will not apologize in a wiki-context" -- see diff. May I offer an on-topic writing sample? As you think about agreeing to join a mentorship committee, please review Patrick Lennox Tierney#Showa apology rebuffed.
Are you willing to look into this a bit further? I assume that time constraints will limit your participation; but perhaps you might consider making yourself available as a "non-public mentor", as an advisor to the co-mentors whose questions are likely to be different than mine?
If you please, contact me by e-mail or on my talk page. -- Tenmei ( talk) 18:35, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I will admit. Every article I am planning to post will have some sort of biased comment or mention. But you have to understand my side to this: for 10 years, Pocos Pero Locos has been the only network to promote Chicano Rap. No other radio station is willing to do it (except me, of course). Mainstream ignores it. MTV won't play them. Many of the articles, forum posts and blogs I've read are about how Mexican-Americans have no business in rap, and that they should stick to being low class workers. They need some recognition, especially for the fact that I'm going to help levitate the spirits of this underground niche genre in the years to come. I've already gotten permission from Khool-Aid to proceed writing, but it won't be posted here until she gets the approval. In the meantime, I will be posting the compilation albums the network has released.
What I need from you is help. If you can help me find one or two Wiki users who are unbiased, neutral and resourceful for the articles I have already posted, to review my input and revise the articles so that they fit within Wiki's policy, I would be grateful. My Talk Page has a few reference links ready for use, and they can use them freely under the condition the main Pocos Pero Locos article isn't posted. ElMeroEse ( talk) 20:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nihonjoe, I figured you should know (if you did not already) that you are being discussed a bit over at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/ChildofMidnight/Workshop, specifically in this section. The mention here is not innocuous as another editor has proposed taking you to task somewhat for the manner in which you closed Wikipedia:Requests for comment/ChildofMidnight. I do not think a finding like this will pass (personally I quite disagree with it) so you probably don't need to sweat it too much, but obviously you should have been made aware that an action of yours is being discussed before the committee in case you wanted to weigh in. -- Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 02:01, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Nihonjoe. I see you're the nominator of this AfD. I considered trying to close the AfD, but couldn't grasp all the arguments. In my mind, the biggest argument anyone could have against keeping would be WP:Neologism, that it's not a real word. People who said it was a dictionary definition did not impress me. If it really *is* in the Japanese dictionaries, that would be important. In your opinion is this just a made-up thing which is not a word? If it is actually in use as a concept in Japan, and is used in anime, won't the sources be forthcoming eventually? Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 21:19, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nihonjoe, I just noticed you declined the speedy request for List of rulers of Kasongo Luunda (Yaka). First, there was a similar list speedied on Friday, List of rulers of Kuba, you might want to recreate this list. I was the one tagging the Kuba list, and both creator User:JohnArmagh and I had put our reasons forward on Talk:List of rulers of Kuba (I assume as admin you can read this).
In order for me not to tag wrong things as copyvio, can you please point me to the policy allowing to copy lists? As far as I thought to have understood, copyright-able material is everything that reaches a certain
Threshold of originality. As such,
List of towns in Sweden cannot be subject to copyright because everyone could assemble such a list with ease. The lists of ancient kings of Africa as discussed here are a different story imo. They are the result of research activity, and they happen to be in list form. I don't think anyone is allowed to plagiarise them, just like
List of sequences in the human genome wouldcould be protected by copyright law, if it existed.
Your opinion and response is appreciated. -- Pgallert ( talk) 08:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
hello, my name is Clint. You recently banned my page called ccpproductions claiming i was advertising a product or company. The Adventures of Douchebag Man is a story I wrote in school to help me and my friends get through the day. I am still in high school. The ccpproductions is not a business, and The Adventures of Douchebag man is not a product. I thought it would be cool to have a DBM wiki page up and running for my friends. I know yall probobly get a lot of people trying to advertise stuff on here and that probobly gets stressful, but I am not one of those people. Im just a kid trying to make a DBM wiki page.

Many salutations!!! It seems that you have seen my recent handiwork here and I am very pleased that you have been quite polite with your appraisal.
Still, I am at a loss for how a personal commentary in the edit summary could trouble anybody since the editing history is behind the scenes and has limited utility to the casual visitor who reads our handiwork. Destructive speech that insults people is one thing that should be (and is in many circles) frowned on; still, do you not think that a remark commending something positive that a character does as part of the edit summary documentation should be looked at a little differently? Is there another motive for the injunction against my comments in the edit summary other than personal aversion?

You may not know that PMDrive1061 agreed to be a non-public mentor.
With regret, I have to report that today's attempt to reach out for help was unclear:
Instead, my words were construed as puzzling. I tried to restate my purpose and questions here.
I have asked the others to address context-specific issues. I posed these questions:
If anyone at ArbCom is monitoring my edits, this small example may help clarify how I expect the mentoring process will work in practice.
In due course, I shall return to editing. Tentatively, I plan to refine this format/parsing technique so that it can become useful when something begins to go wrong in the course of editing.
Do you have any questions? comments? suggestions?

The re-thinking rationale is a variant of less is more; but in this context of initiating a working relationship, I would have thought that less is simply less. In other words, less would seem to be too little?

Hello sir,
Recently I created a page about a Microsoft MVP giving all the details about him with proper and credible references about him. This is the link to it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_John
Suddenly a someone named as Bagheera placed a tag, asking for the speedy deletion of my page that I created. I saw you doing justice, so I am in need of your help. You have already helped me once. Also, I am unable to access to the talk page of the person who has placed the speedy deletion tag on the page. I want you to (if possible) go through the page and see it. I think it is perfect with the references I have given and when you are satisfied, please remove that speedy deletion tag from my post as it will be spoiling the page.

...for that prompt namechange, PristineMerchandise → DinhoGauch10. I was helping the user on IRC; getting the name fixed so quickly really helps keep new users 'on-board'. Cheers, Chzz ► 21:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Of course such a candidate should never be an Admin if everything is on the up and up. Could you please check to see if this RfA "is on the Up and Up" - Ret.Prof ( talk) 13:34, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
I saw you removed the speedy deletion request for the article i made. I've added a few references. As the article stands now, do you think it meets the criteria for notability? Thanks for your help/input. Rafael 06:40, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Why did you remove the "db-banned" tags from File:Cobinnaked.jpg, File:Corbinupclosecover.jpg, File:Hsm2 gabriella.JPG, File:Hsm2 sharpay.JPG, File:High-School-Musical-3-movie-06.jpg, and File:CorbinDeal WithIt.jpg, describing them as "extra"? They were produced in violation of a block, and meet csd-g5. Since they were produced in violation of a block, it's important that they be removed immediately, prior to any efforts to repair or salvage their use.— Kww( talk) 14:51, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate your recent assistance. Much gratitude. I am working on keeping The »Ask Dr.Rin!« episode summary from being deleted. -- Dairi no Kenkyo ( talk) 20:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I'm new to editing and creating articles, so please back off of my Eating Emma page unless you want to do it for me. Thanks. RawRock91 ( talk) 16:22, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nihonjoe, I just noticed you declined the speedy request for List of rulers of Kasongo Luunda (Yaka). First, there was a similar list speedied on Friday, List of rulers of Kuba, you might want to recreate this list. I was the one tagging the Kuba list, and both creator User:JohnArmagh and I had put our reasons forward on Talk:List of rulers of Kuba (I assume as admin you can read this).
In order for me not to tag wrong things as copyvio, can you please point me to the policy allowing to copy lists? As far as I thought to have understood, copyright-able material is everything that reaches a certain
Threshold of originality. As such,
List of towns in Sweden cannot be subject to copyright because everyone could assemble such a list with ease. The lists of ancient kings of Africa as discussed here are a different story imo. They are the result of research activity, and they happen to be in list form. I don't think anyone is allowed to plagiarise them, just like
List of sequences in the human genome wouldcould be protected by copyright law, if it existed.
Your opinion and response is appreciated. -- Pgallert ( talk) 08:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
hello, my name is Clint. You recently banned my page called ccpproductions claiming i was advertising a product or company. The Adventures of Douchebag Man is a story I wrote in school to help me and my friends get through the day. I am still in high school. The ccpproductions is not a business, and The Adventures of Douchebag man is not a product. I thought it would be cool to have a DBM wiki page up and running for my friends. I know yall probobly get a lot of people trying to advertise stuff on here and that probobly gets stressful, but I am not one of those people. Im just a kid trying to make a DBM wiki page. Thank you for your time and please reply. Have a good one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clint Charles Project ( talk • contribs) 01:50, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
No, Dwayne Flanders is a person which is me, what are you talking about. I understand i tried to create an article about myself but that has nothing to do with username changing. Dwayneflanders ( talk) 20:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Many salutations!!! It seems that you have seen my recent handiwork here and I am very pleased that you have been quite polite with your appraisal.
Still, I am at a loss for how a personal commentary in the edit summary could trouble anybody since the editing history is behind the scenes and has limited utility to the casual visitor who reads our handiwork. Destructive speech that insults people is one thing that should be (and is in many circles) frowned on; still, do you not think that a remark commending something positive that a character does as part of the edit summary documentation should be looked at a little differently? Is there another motive for the injunction against my comments in the edit summary other than personal aversion?

日本穣 -- Addressing the specifics of this particular situation may not be the best use of your time; however, I want to keep you in the loop so that you will be well informed whenever you might choose to play an active role.
You may not know that PMDrive1061 agreed to be a non-public mentor.
With regret, I have to report that today's attempt to reach out for help was unclear:
Instead, my words were construed as puzzling. I tried to restate my purpose and questions here.
I have asked the others to address context-specific issues. I posed these questions:
If anyone at ArbCom is monitoring my edits, this small example may help clarify how I expect the mentoring process will work in practice.
In due course, I shall return to editing. Tentatively, I plan to refine this format/parsing technique so that it can become useful when something begins to go wrong in the course of editing.
Do you have any questions? comments? suggestions?
Thank you again for your helpful posting here. -- Tenmei ( talk) 20:30, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
The re-thinking rationale is a variant of less is more; but in this context of initiating a working relationship, I would have thought that less is simply less. In other words, less would seem to be too little?
Like my "1st try" message, this is also puzzling but in a different way.-- Tenmei ( talk) 16:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello sir,
Recently I created a page about a Microsoft MVP giving all the details about him with proper and credible references about him. This is the link to it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_John
Suddenly a someone named as Bagheera placed a tag, asking for the speedy deletion of my page that I created. I saw you doing justice, so I am in need of your help. You have already helped me once. Also, I am unable to access to the talk page of the person who has placed the speedy deletion tag on the page. I want you to (if possible) go through the page and see it. I think it is perfect with the references I have given and when you are satisfied, please remove that speedy deletion tag from my post as it will be spoiling the page.

Think we should file an SPI request? Blanking not just one, but two admins' userspaces--something tells me this isn't a new user. Then again, it might be a 4chan troll ... Blueboy 96 17:26, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
