How do we create a BarnStar? :P It's a great idea, but we need someone who knows how to do it... do you? Cheers! -- Tohru Honda13 Talk• Sign here 23:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I am sure you already know this but I always reply on my talk page...so I have replied :). Cheers! Arjun 04:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Sure you can help with List of Luigi's Mansion ghosts that list (not that you need my permission)! Knowing the games isn't really that important; you have to cite sources, anyway, and I've done most of the things that would involve having some knowledge of the game. Where does it need citations? Most of the info seems not to need it IMO, but all articles are supposed to have refs, so it probably should have at least a few. Of course, no one writes books about video games (the only books being strategy guides, instruction booklets, and...strategy guides), so it might be slightly difficult to find them, so most of the refs would have to be from the web. – Llama man 01:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Sure, you can be my adopter. You seem like a cool, knowledgeable person.

Hi again! I went away to a place called
Margaret River, which is in
Western Australia, as I live in WA, but I forgot to leave a 'sorry, froggy isn't here right now, but if you leave a message on her talk page after the beep, she will get back to you. It was a bit boring, but I did learn a lot about
Australian wine, even if I can't drink.
Oh yeah, could you please help me with the whole userboxes thing? I still haven't gotten the hang of them and how to put them where you want them to go.

Sorry!

I've opened up a discussion on the Strat player talk page. I would appreciate your comments. Anger22 ( Talk 2 22) 14:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
I have emailed you, so be on the lookout for that XD Arjun 03:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I am having some difficulty finding things to do that don't require some in-depth knowledge of the article's subject matter or reading pages of Wiki-Policy. Policy is good, but it is boring. Any suggestions? -- Pete Iriarte 03:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I would be so glad if you could help with the list of Hindu festivals! Yes it needs "work" but I recently added comments on each festival and converted it to list format. As for your work on the Holocaust article...barnstar worthy :). Arjun 04:32, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Uh... I don't know how to put this tactfully, but... it isn't my birthday... I'm three years and a handful of days older than you - my birthday is June 11th. For some reason the userbox says 'this wikipedian is 16 years, 7 months and x many days old on 21st January 2006' Thanks for the thought, though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Froglet42 ( talk • contribs).

I believe that DarknessLord turned this into a battle when he did not have to. Have a nice week and god bless. -- James, La gloria è a dio 21:14, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
James, La gloria è a dio has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{ subst:smile}}, {{ subst:smile2}} or {{ subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
Thank you again. :) And yeah, that's no problem; we all get busy, especially the students (I myself was gone all weekend). I'm also sorry I didn't respond to your earlier message; I read it and thought, "Well, I think she's doing great..." and didn't know what to say. ^_^;; You have been really helpful, though, and doing important stuff that I thought might never get done. It's really cool to see someone else paying attention to that.
To answer your other question, I did found the project, but User:Hitsuji Kinno was the one who first started trying to unite the articles, and it was User:ReyBrujo's idea to solve the problem via a WikiProject. (That was only this last summer.) The first few people in the list of members were all here moving things along before I ever got here. :) I just did the gruntwork of getting the thing running, which is mainly why I do so much maintenance on it. And I am having an insane lot of fun with the whole thing. ^____^ -- Masamage 05:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Sure. I was just working on it as I received your message.
A few parts need clarification; the rest looks good. Rintrah 07:17, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

As you set out for
Ithaka, hope the voyage is long Don't expect Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the
marvelous journey |
about the bad words on poetic decay- thanks for clearing that up. and about the different sidebox things, I wanted to see which one was the counter vandalism unit :P, thnx --pikasneez27
Hi, sorry to bother you (again :P), I was just wondering how you do redirects, as I can't find anything really on it (but then again, as I have aptly demonstrated I'm not the most competent of searchers). How is it that sometimes if you write one thing in the search box you get another article of a different name come up? How do you redirect a commonly misspelled name to the correctly spelled article? Just curious. :P —Preceding unsigned comment added by Froglet42 ( talk • contribs)
For the revert on my page :). ~ Arjun 19:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Tohru! I'm back (guess you probably realized that by now :))! Thanks for wrrying about me, but everything is fine- though I do have a sore throat. The reason why I was gone was that almost all the computers here were down and the ones that weren't were always (or it seemed like always) under use by others and I was unlucky enough not to be able to use them. They were repaired Thursday but my family was planning to go camping so I couldn't use the computer. But now I have returned! Some problems may still exist so I might not edit a lot but I should be on now a days. Thanks! 76.188.8.223 22:14, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm surprised you gave him so many chances. I indefblocked him a few minutes ago. He is clearly not willing to abide by any policy we might have. Circeus 20:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Look at the articles for cockatiel and parakeet, the bird was obviously a cockatiel since parakeets seem to be exotically colored while cockatiels are usually white except for the crest. It was probably an error by the subbers/scanlators. Gdo01 22:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page. I was shocked when I realized that it wasn't just an angry IP getting their revenge because I gave them a warning (that's usually the case). Anyway, I'm bad when it comes to emphasizing my thanks over the Internet so I'll just leave here with "Thank you, Tohru!" It's good to know that I have a friend watching my back when I'm gone. Happy editing and sayonara! // Poetic Decay 00:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
About the "half" bit, I don't really consider this to be vandalism. Instead, I think of it more as a misplaced comment. That's pretty much the only reason why I say 21 ½. ;) // Poetic Decay 03:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I realize you have taken interest in Buddhism, very interesting religion indeed. If you are looking for a good Buddhist book I suggest the Dhammapada. Cheers my friend :). ~ Arjun 03:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

hey tohru honda you have such a nice page.....i feel ashamed myself that i am a high school student yet unable to creat such an excellent wiki page there =) You seems to be both an interesting person and a good editor, and of course, through your wikibox I can see we do share lots of ideas.

Hey Tohru Honda. Thank you for your enthusiasm, but users are not to !vote on candidates before the RFA is actually launched on WP:RFA. Please re-add your !vote once that happens. :-) Best regards, Hús ö nd 03:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
you like Green Day as well? It's awesome. I feel that it is currently the best rock band in United States, I mean bands that are still around. The Doors and Jefferson Airplane are my fav, unfortunately they're not around anymore. =( Wooyi 22:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
