Hello Nihonjoe, thanks for your note. I appreciate your kind comments and constructive feedback. My editing pattern on Wikipedia is largely due to personal choice, of course, but has in part been influenced by past incidents. Some of the subjects I have worked on, such as those related to Korean martial arts, tend to be contentious in one way or another. With the editing pattern I use, if other contributors disagree with some of my edits, it is straightforward for them to target the exact changes they disagree with. I have also been on the other side, where someone has made substantial changes in one edit and it has been more work for me to disentangle things. I appreciate your comment on others trying to make edits at the same time, but it has only happened to me once (to a significant extent)—and in that particular case, both of us were working together (with mutual awareness) to prepare the article for GA review. For whatever reason (e.g., time of day), I don't find that I clash with other editors on this point, but I am aware of the potential for unintended clashing. Thanks again for your note. Janggeom ( talk) 01:21, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
On a different note, given your role in WP Japan, if you (or anyone else from WPJ) would be interested in reviewing or providing feedback on Japanese martial artists' biographies, I have worked on several of these over the last few months. I would be very pleased to help implement changes so that these articles conform better to Wikipedia (and relevant WikiProjects') policies and style guidelines. Thanks.

Hi Nihonjoe, You indefinitely protected Anime on 26 March 2010 due to edit warring. Do you really think this is still necessary? (Just wondering^_^) G.A.S talk 17:35, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Being an admin is a volunteer job and you're not being forced to do anything, so if you're unwilling, unable, or just too lazy to do the job you signed up for, perhaps you should leave it to those many, many admins who are willing to actually do so. Go do something else productive.
Even more to the point, the source of these "stale" -- what a meaningless term that is -- reports are from the "New Pages" unpatrolled backlog -- exactly as suggested on the page itself. Let me quote that button that I clicked: Please consider patrolling pages from the back of the unpatrolled backlog. Perhaps you can take up your crusade with whomever was responsible for setting the standard I'm working from. -- Calton | Talk 14:30, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Just curious why you put the AfD for Tactical Hapkido on the Japan related discussion list? Hapkido is a Korean art and Tactical Hapkido is an American adaptation of it. Where does Japan fit in? Niteshift36 ( talk) 01:20, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
You apparently deleted the page I posted last week calling it "blatant spam" ... I put in for a user name change from revadburns to Andrew D Burns so that it would be a valid user account, but that apparently didn't take either.
Of course, I did not copy and save the data on the page, so it's lost forever?
Is there a way to get the page data back so when it's re-submitted that I don't have to spend the hours it took to build it all over again?
Thanks for your help!

Hi there. I do not think it is necessary to add the stub sort template for protected areas to the individual features within Shikotsu-Toya National Park: Lake Tōya, Showashinzan, Mount Yōtei, Mount Tarumae, Mount Fuppushi, Mount Eniwa, and Lake Kuttara. The article for the national park already has the template and that is enough. If you start labelling individual features, then where do you stop? Do you mark every town, train station, ropeway, river, etc.? I am removing the template. - imars ( talk) 05:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nihonjoe
I'm still yet to understand why the Fundamo page was deleted. Fundamo is an industry leader in Mobile banking. Fundamo is spearheading Mobile payments in developing countries. Lastly, it's competitors are on Wikipedia.

Hi Nihonjoe, I was wondering about Ganogerma lucidum. It was a redirect to Lingzhi, but since that is now itself a redirect I changed it to redirect to Lingzhi mushroom. However I noticed that the correct spelling of the mushroom is Ganoderma lucidum (d not g) which is already a redirect. Is the Ganogerma spelling a likely error for a redirect? Or would it make sense to delete the Ganogerma redirect? Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:04, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi there. Would you please be so kind and look thoroughly into this issue? There's an editor who keeps changing the type of album from "studio" to "demo" on this article. He has no reliable verifiable sources to back up his edits, he tried unsuccessfully to have the article deleted alltogether.
The editor has a long history of disruptive editing, blocks, topic bans etc. As his own account is already blemished as such, he basically has nothing to lose if he receives a further block for edit war. This is why I believe he is so adamant in continuing his reverts, wanting to engage me in an edit war.
I am asking you, and have sent the same message to other admins online, to please thoroughly look into this issue. I have reported the whole incident to both Ani and Avi, yet to no avail. Thank you. Amsaim ( talk) 21:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. A couple days ago you fulfilled a speedy deletion request for the article Ric McIver. It had been nominated by user btphelps, who claimed it did not meet notability guidelines. However, a review of WP:POLITICIAN notes that "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city." Ric McIver is currently an alderman on the City of Calgary Council, and has also received a significant amount of media coverage for his leading bid to become mayor in the upcoming local elections. Both of these facts were clearly indicated in the article, a copy of which has been saved to User:Dbo789/Ric McIver. As the article met notability guidelines as mentioned above, I strongly feel that the speedy deletion was not appropriate, and ask you to please undelete the page. -- Dbo789 ( talk) 20:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I was writing an article stub on the BennuGD programming language. For the starting text, I copied text from http://www.bennugd.org/?q=node/4 where no copyright info was available at the time of the copy. After being warned about Copyright infringement in the article, I talked to the BennuGD site admin so that he could add license (CC-BY-SA 3.0) info to the site. As I believe that the copyright infringement issue has been solved, would it be possible for the page to be restored?.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the confusion. Josebita ( talk) 00:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
How does one write a complete article on one of India's leading hospitals without it sounding like an "unambiguous advertisement"? If you were a cardiac patient in Mumbai you would quite unambiguously elect to be operated here. Because they have a mortality rate of 0.3% and are famous for successfully operating on patients who were considered inoperative. You could have tempered your editorial zeal until the complete article was uploaded. There are multiple constituencies that seek information on last-resort cardiac care, some of which are desperately looking to save their own life or the life of a loved one. AHI has patients from many countries who fly in just to be operated here. AHI doesn't need Wikipedia advertising, it has been in operation for 7 years and till last weekend did not even know it was not on Wikipedia. I was trying to contribute to Wikipedia, not to AHI.

Hello.
You deleted my article on the sculptor Colin George Jeffrey without explanation and - obviously - without reference to my comments.
The article I submited was aimed at highlighting a person who is, in fact, quite a notable figure here in Australia and has been the subject of many articles and exhibitions.
I also put a "Hang on" tag on it so I could have tinme to gather more sources/references but you deleted it anyway...
Do you think that you could reconsider this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clockworkandroid ( talk • contribs) 09:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Apparently the article did not demonstrate importance of the subject when you deleted it. However I had cited references to numerous online sources indicating the subject's exposure, such as top 10's poll, modelling portfolio and so on. What else would I need to do to demonstrate importance? Dcnailed ( talk) 11:53, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
NihonJoe, Thank you for reviewing my page Generation Vet. I added the significance of my story to the page, but was disappointed to find that it was not enough to save it. Maybe you can help me best articulate what it is I'm trying to accomplish. Generation Vet, while told in the format of a Web comic, is designed to capture a major demographic/cultural shift within the animal health industry in the United States. It reflects how the new generation, technology and people's changing attitudes about animals look today compared to what many people may remember.
I want to create a page that is as unbiased as possible, and has information that veterinarians would appreciate seeing. What advice do you have to create such a page? I appreciate your help.

I made that page and the talk page to redirect to my page since it is my usual username. Since some sites, including Wikipedia demand an initial letter, a930913 is the username I use. Given that nobody else can have the username 930913, I took that to forward to my page. It was clearly noted down on the page to contact me before deletion. Two other administrators have condoned it but now you have protected it from me having it. Please can you make it again. It would be helpful if you could somehow protect it from other administrators. You have now redlinked my signatures. Thank you, 930913/ A930913( Congratulate/ Complaints) 21:37, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eat_Poop_You_Cat I personally feel that this article should not have been deleted. The name is bad, and can be changed to "paper telephone", or something like that, but if you look at the discussion page for the deletion, there is clearly NOT a consensus in favor of deletion, and there ARE good sources given. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Eat_Poop_You_Cat
So I don't understand the decision to delete the article. Instead, the name should be changed, or it should be merged into something else, e.g. the telephone game. Hermitage ( talk) 09:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nihonjoe,
Would you consider my article Strip - Ministry of Waxing unambiguous advertising or promotion?
Perhaps there is a way we could work to putting it up, as I believe Strip is a growing phenomenon and a company that warrants equal publishing on Wikipedia such as other Singaporean companies that are already on it, such as Old Chang Kee, BreadTalk etc.
Would it help if I wrote my article more factually?
Thanks and do let me know!
Would you also be able to provide a copy of the deleted article for reference, as I made changes to the citation but did not save it. Many thanks!
Kind regards Debbie

I do not think it is necessary to add the stub sort template for protected areas to the individual features within Shikotsu-Toya National Park: Lake Tōya, Showashinzan, Mount Yōtei, Mount Tarumae, Mount Fuppushi, Mount Eniwa, and Lake Kuttara. The article for the national park already has the template and that is enough. If you start labelling individual features, then where do you stop? Do you mark every town, train station, ropeway, river, etc.? I am removing the template. - imars ( talk) 05:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nihonjoe
I'm still yet to understand why the Fundamo page was deleted. Fundamo is an industry leader in Mobile banking. Fundamo is spearheading Mobile payments in developing countries. Lastly, it's competitors are on Wikipedia.
Can you please explain to me why it is not noteworthy?
Many Thanks ShaneeA 13h41 (+200 UTC), 29 April 2010
Thank you for catching my mistake in nominating the Oak of Mamre article for deletion. I thought I had double-checked the licensing for all of the ones I nominated last night, but clearly I missed this one. Sorry about that. VernoWhitney ( talk) 12:51, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nihonjoe, I was wondering about Ganogerma lucidum. It was a redirect to Lingzhi, but since that is now itself a redirect I changed it to redirect to Lingzhi mushroom. However I noticed that the correct spelling of the mushroom is Ganoderma lucidum (d not g) which is already a redirect. Is the Ganogerma spelling a likely error for a redirect? Or would it make sense to delete the Ganogerma redirect? Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:04, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi there. Would you please be so kind and look thoroughly into this issue? There's an editor who keeps changing the type of album from "studio" to "demo" on this article. He has no reliable verifiable sources to back up his edits, he tried unsuccessfully to have the article deleted alltogether.
The editor has a long history of disruptive editing, blocks, topic bans etc. As his own account is already blemished as such, he basically has nothing to lose if he receives a further block for edit war. This is why I believe he is so adamant in continuing his reverts, wanting to engage me in an edit war.
I am asking you, and have sent the same message to other admins online, to please thoroughly look into this issue. I have reported the whole incident to both Ani and Avi, yet to no avail. Thank you. Amsaim ( talk) 21:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

I created a page for Journey Healing Centers but it was deleted because it was Ambiguous and advertising. I'd like to post the page but don't want it to be advertising, just informative. Is there anything specific i need to do to make sure it gets approved? Any links to a reliable source, or suggestions would be welcome. Prestoniscrazy ( talk) 22:19, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello. A couple days ago you fulfilled a speedy deletion request for the article Ric McIver. It had been nominated by user btphelps, who claimed it did not meet notability guidelines. However, a review of WP:POLITICIAN notes that "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city." Ric McIver is currently an alderman on the City of Calgary Council, and has also received a significant amount of media coverage for his leading bid to become mayor in the upcoming local elections. Both of these facts were clearly indicated in the article, a copy of which has been saved to User:Dbo789/Ric McIver. As the article met notability guidelines as mentioned above, I strongly feel that the speedy deletion was not appropriate, and ask you to please undelete the page. -- Dbo789 ( talk) 20:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Xandra's Big Adventure- Encounter with the Valkyrie - Whirlo screenshot Europe.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I was writing an article stub on the BennuGD programming language. For the starting text, I copied text from http://www.bennugd.org/?q=node/4 where no copyright info was available at the time of the copy. After being warned about Copyright infringement in the article, I talked to the BennuGD site admin so that he could add license (CC-BY-SA 3.0) info to the site. As I believe that the copyright infringement issue has been solved, would it be possible for the page to be restored?.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the confusion. Josebita ( talk) 00:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
How does one write a complete article on one of India's leading hospitals without it sounding like an "unambiguous advertisement"? If you were a cardiac patient in Mumbai you would quite unambiguously elect to be operated here. Because they have a mortality rate of 0.3% and are famous for successfully operating on patients who were considered inoperative. You could have tempered your editorial zeal until the complete article was uploaded. There are multiple constituencies that seek information on last-resort cardiac care, some of which are desperately looking to save their own life or the life of a loved one. AHI has patients from many countries who fly in just to be operated here. AHI doesn't need Wikipedia advertising, it has been in operation for 7 years and till last weekend did not even know it was not on Wikipedia. I was trying to contribute to Wikipedia, not to AHI.

Hello.
You deleted my article on the sculptor Colin George Jeffrey without explanation and - obviously - without reference to my comments.
The article I submited was aimed at highlighting a person who is, in fact, quite a notable figure here in Australia and has been the subject of many articles and exhibitions.
I also put a "Hang on" tag on it so I could have tinme to gather more sources/references but you deleted it anyway...
Do you think that you could reconsider this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clockworkandroid ( talk • contribs) 09:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Apparently the article did not demonstrate importance of the subject when you deleted it. However I had cited references to numerous online sources indicating the subject's exposure, such as top 10's poll, modelling portfolio and so on. What else would I need to do to demonstrate importance? Dcnailed ( talk) 11:53, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
NihonJoe, Thank you for reviewing my page Generation Vet. I added the significance of my story to the page, but was disappointed to find that it was not enough to save it. Maybe you can help me best articulate what it is I'm trying to accomplish. Generation Vet, while told in the format of a Web comic, is designed to capture a major demographic/cultural shift within the animal health industry in the United States. It reflects how the new generation, technology and people's changing attitudes about animals look today compared to what many people may remember.
I want to create a page that is as unbiased as possible, and has information that veterinarians would appreciate seeing. What advice do you have to create such a page? I appreciate your help. Let me know if you need links to the content to better understand it. AmandaBrownDVM ( talk) 20:28, 4 May 2010 (UTC)AmandaBrownDVM
I made that page and the talk page to redirect to my page since it is my usual username. Since some sites, including Wikipedia demand an initial letter, a930913 is the username I use. Given that nobody else can have the username 930913, I took that to forward to my page. It was clearly noted down on the page to contact me before deletion. Two other administrators have condoned it but now you have protected it from me having it. Please can you make it again. It would be helpful if you could somehow protect it from other administrators. You have now redlinked my signatures. Thank you, 930913/ A930913( Congratulate/ Complaints) 21:37, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eat_Poop_You_Cat I personally feel that this article should not have been deleted. The name is bad, and can be changed to "paper telephone", or something like that, but if you look at the discussion page for the deletion, there is clearly NOT a consensus in favor of deletion, and there ARE good sources given. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Eat_Poop_You_Cat
So I don't understand the decision to delete the article. Instead, the name should be changed, or it should be merged into something else, e.g. the telephone game. Hermitage ( talk) 09:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nihonjoe,
Would you consider my article Strip - Ministry of Waxing unambiguous advertising or promotion?
Perhaps there is a way we could work to putting it up, as I believe Strip is a growing phenomenon and a company that warrants equal publishing on Wikipedia such as other Singaporean companies that are already on it, such as Old Chang Kee, BreadTalk etc.
Would it help if I wrote my article more factually?
Thanks and do let me know!
Would you also be able to provide a copy of the deleted article for reference, as I made changes to the citation but did not save it. Many thanks!
Kind regards Debbie

Either provide a valid source or stop adding the "supposed" back to the Versailles page. 2 channel and other "musician name" sites are not valid sources. Unless Jasmine publicly released his name, it's extremely disrespectful to continue adding it, especially since you can't even prove it's correct. Gekkakou ( talk) 15:17, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

If you continue to abuse Twinkle again by filing false reports or doing anything else which violates the letter or spirit of the rules pertaining to that tool, you will have your privileges revoked permanently.

hello. at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Esther Ku there were 2 keep votes that listed many sources and only one delete vote. i think you did the wrong thing by deleting that page you should have at least listed it for another week and maybe listed the deletion in some discussion areas Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Actors and filmmakers Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Korea Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Living people . please think about this and consider relisting this for discussion or restoring the page. i would also have voted keep and improved the page if it was still there. thanks.

こんにちは日本-Joe - Are you around? Not sure if your crat status will let you do it, but if possible I just noticed a new user created in the user logs with a telephone number in their username (not posting it here for obvious reasons). I believe I've seen usernames redacted before, just not sure if the new admin revision deletion rights (or your crat status) will let you do it. However most of the oversighters are offline now so I thought I'd check with you. 7 05:21, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

It has been brought to my attention that the page "Desire2Learn" has been deleted due to "unambiguous advertising or promotion." The information presented there was factual (company name, location, industry, etc.) and, where it could be said to be "promotional" was cited with appropriate web based references. We respectively request that the page be restored and that we be advised of any particular items deemed to be of a promotional nature so they may be addressed. Thank you!
