Hello Nihonjoe. We'd like to have published on ja.Wikipedia a page re an international artistic movement founded in Italy. A Japanese friend has partly translated it: can we send it to you in order to see if you can refine and complete it for the publication ? We'd be much obliged! Thanks a lot-- Aeron10 ( talk) 04:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted you to know that I wasn't trying to muck up the page. I had noticed a few days ago that someone has but some kind of bold header saying some pretty unsavory things up at the top.

I came across your name via the Highly Active Users board. Through NPP, I have recently come across another editor User:Peripatetic that has a long history of creating BLP articles that lack any references. I flagged one of his articles with a BLP Prod and he responded stating that he has created hundreds of articles and he has never been very good at adding refs, so he doesn't do it. He started a conversation on my talkpage, in which another editor has participated and stated his concerns as well. User:Peripatetic's talkpage is full of ignored warnings from individuals and bots regarding the failure to add refs on BLPs. What recourse do we have to enforce compliance with the policy regarding BLPs? Thanks. Cindamuse ( talk) 02:52, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Root beer: not my taste. But I do like juice. Well, that little argument over there has become surreal.

It references something that this now reminds me is the job of a steward, not a bureaucrat. Bureaucrats turn out to have remarkably few special roles/abilities, which makes me wonder again about why there's such an enormous kerfuffle about whether or not somebody should become one. (A ripple from the "Essjay" debacle, perhaps?) ¶ Here's another (a)-(b)-(c) of mine for you. If you're not particularly interested in Obama, so much the better: although a number of the regulars on that page do work there that's mostly or exclusively excellent, I've often thought that the attention of a few more unprejudiced and dispassionate people there would be welcome. -- Hoary ( talk) 06:47, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I saw your name under HAU, and it lists you as being experienced with content. I have a few questions about Good Articles, specifically WP:GACR. First, are there any size requirements for GAs?

A tag has been placed on Akio Nakamori requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you. --

I've been contacted by Concertphotos ( talk · contribs), formerly Festivalphotos ( talk · contribs), whose username you changed. He gets "Login error. There is no user by the name "Concertphotos". User names are case sensitive. Check your spelling, or create a new account." when he tries to log in. He has (once) successfully used the account but has since consistently gotten this message. I've offered the usual suggestions about spelling, trying different browsers, clearing caches, etc., and they seem to be sufficiently clued that they've tried the obvious remedies themselves. They can't get into Commons or svwiki either. Do you have any ideas? The login sequence is definitely not my area (and maybe not yours either, but suggestions on who might understand it would be welcome).I'm posting as well at WP:VP/T.

Hello. Interested to hear why you have systematically been unlinking this article. Linking is currently serving a very useful purpose, which is stop people taking the naming dispute to other articles. i.e. linking the term is a simple way to keep the naming debate focused on one article instead of it boiling over to every other article that uses the term, and to illustrate which name is in current usage at Wikipedia.

What would be the correct place for the discussion? The only way I can think of doing it right would be to split it up and have 1 proposed change on the WP:REDIRECT talk page and the other on the WP:Disambiguation talk page. It just seems that that solution would be overly bureaucratic since it's really just procedural and will disrupt the debate at WP:Article titles. What do you think?

Hello there. I noticed that you are, to say the least, an integral part of WikiProject Japan, and wanted to invite you to join a related project, WikiProject East Asia, a mid-level scope project that aims to improve coverage of the region as a whole, and the interactions of the parties therein (which, of course, includes Japan.) Seeing as you founded WikiProject Japan, I figure would have valuable experience in setting up new WikiProjects, of which WikiProject East Asia certainly is. Also, seeing as you work extensively in portals, and East Asia does not currently have a portal, I see another area where you could be of great help.
Therefore, I am extending this formal invitation to you:
Another editor has noticed your contributions to articles related to East Asia, and would like to invite you to join WikiProject East Asia, a collaborative effort to improve coverage of East Asia on Wikipedia. |
If you know of anyone else that might be interested in the project, feel free to pass on the message to them as well.
Finally, if you do decide to join, or at the very least are willing to offer me advice on setting up the portal for East Asia or building a new WikiProject, my talk page is always open. Drop me a message and I'll be happy to have any help you are willing to give. I also can meet on IRC if you prefer that method of conversation.
Thank you for your consideration,
Sven Manguard

Hello. This message is to inform you that I have called for a reexamination of the scope document and the ratings system used by the project. The ratings system especially has run into problems and could benefit from a simplification and generalizations. The scope, too, could be reexamined to the same end. Please come to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject East Asia and discuss the matters so that we can reach a community consensus. I'd like to have it done before Christmas, so I can spend the break making any necessary changes. The importance discussion is at the top of the page. The scope discussion is at the bottom, but we can move them together if we need to.

Hi Ninhonjoe, I just noticed that back in April you deleted Modern Art/My Little Brother with motivation "Non-notable music by artist with no Wikipedia article". I don't know in which state THAT article was when you deleted it, but you may want to check out better before deleting something, since the artist IS notable and DOES have a Wikipedia article :) -- WikiKiwi (askme) 04:13, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Nihonjoe -- On one hand, Mentoring Tenmei was a failure because we didn't develop plausible strategies for averting the problem which has developed here at Talk:List of tributaries of Imperial China#Cite does not verify asserted "facts".
On the other hand, Mentoring Tenmei was a success because both Caspian blue and Teeninvestor appear to have withdrawn from Wikipedia, and I'm still here to address the kinds of questions their edits and strategies inspired. In their absence, WP:Verifiability/ WP:Use English/ WP:Burden will continue to be conflated with content issues; but my comments and questions are less likely to be misconstrued as personal attacks.
Nihonjoe -- Now that the formal mentorship period has ended, are you willing to help me develop a strategy for dealing with problems I expect to recur. These do not appear to be conventional in the editing experiences of everyone. This may be unique to East Asian topics and contributors; and if so, your perspective is all the more valuable.
I predict that problems like the one here will persist and increase in the foreseeable future -- not because this is a self-fulfilling prophesy -- but because of developments in East Asia and because of the nature of our collaborative context. This category includes the stale problems I discovered with Caspian blue at Talk:Joseon Tongsinsa/Archive 1 and also similar to what I encountered with Teeninvestor at Talk:Tang Dynasty in Inner Asia/Archive 1.
I do not invite your intervention in any specific dispute thread. Rather, I'm looking for the rare tweaks and parsing and analysis you choose to offer.
The response I'm looking for is binary: "yes" or "no"?
If you're no longer interested in this kind of open-ended activity, please accept my sincere thanks for the help you've already offered. -- Tenmei ( talk) 20:15, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nihonjoe, could I ask you to check on a rename you processed? Something weird's come up since ICIWORLD was renamed to Hojuhanguk; his edits are now showing up under ICIWORLD's edit history.
After user got renamed (15:36, 21 December 2010), the edit history prior to the 21st was apparently moved over, but then somehow ICIWORLD got " created automatically" again (16:18, 21 December 2010) and then ICIWORLD was blocked and unblocked by OrangeMike (22:43-5, 21 December 2010) who said he was still waiting on the name change. Now the user seems to get logged in as ICIWORLD (that's how the edits are showing up in any case). Any ideas? Thanks, -- Joren ( talk) 03:45, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I was about to start a deletion discussion for Kazumi Amemiya, an article that you created. Currently it is an unsourced BLP and I have been unable to find reliable sources to add to the article. Perhaps you have access to sources? Happy Holidays J04n( talk page) 13:32, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
The article Kazumi Amemiya has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

The only way I can think of doing it right would be to split it up and have 1 proposed change on the WP:REDIRECT talk page and the other on the WP:Disambiguation talk page. It just seems that that solution would be overly bureaucratic since it's really just procedural and will disrupt the debate at WP:Article titles. What do you think?

Hello there. I noticed that you are, to say the least, an integral part of WikiProject Japan, and wanted to invite you to join a related project, WikiProject East Asia, a mid-level scope project that aims to improve coverage of the region as a whole, and the interactions of the parties therein (which, of course, includes Japan.) Seeing as you founded WikiProject Japan, I figure would have valuable experience in setting up new WikiProjects, of which WikiProject East Asia certainly is. Also, seeing as you work extensively in portals, and East Asia does not currently have a portal, I see another area where you could be of great help.
Therefore, I am extending this formal invitation to you:
Another editor has noticed your contributions to articles related to East Asia, and would like to invite you to join WikiProject East Asia, a collaborative effort to improve coverage of East Asia on Wikipedia. |
If you know of anyone else that might be interested in the project, feel free to pass on the message to them as well.
Finally, if you do decide to join, or at the very least are willing to offer me advice on setting up the portal for East Asia or building a new WikiProject, my talk page is always open. Drop me a message and I'll be happy to have any help you are willing to give. I also can meet on IRC if you prefer that method of conversation.
Thank you for your consideration,
Sven Manguard

Greetings. Could you quickly check to see if my description of My Dog, My Weed is correct? Google translator and Babel are giving me these nearly unreadable translations of this page, so I've had to make due with what I can make out. Currently I'm describing it has "[...] a collection of art, essays, and personal experiences pertaining to the attachment between people and animals". Would that be a fine description? Thanks, WhiteArcticWolf ( talk) 01:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I am trying to change Realiseyourdignity but my first attempt was rejected.
I am trying the name Concentratingontruckinright as this is a phrase from a song I like.
Does it break copyright?

Hello. This message is to inform you that I have called for a reexamination of the scope document and the ratings system used by the project. The ratings system especially has run into problems and could benefit from a simplification and generalizations. The scope, too, could be reexamined to the same end. Please come to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject East Asia and discuss the matters so that we can reach a community consensus. I'd like to have it done before Christmas, so I can spend the break making any necessary changes. The importance discussion is at the top of the page. The scope discussion is at the bottom, but we can move them together if we need to.
Thank you, Sven Manguard Wha? 07:16, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Apparently it violates WP:AT, now, at least when it comes to User:Pmanderson's opinion. I've started a thread on WT:MOS-JA about my modifications of the guideline to change "trade name" to "form used personally and professionally".— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙) 21:48, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
And now this.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙) 02:08, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Joe, your opinions at WT:MOS-JA#Names of modern figures would be helpful to provide some insight from someone who actively participates in writing Japanese articles, rather than Septrionalis' bull in a china shop method of determining what is and what is not against policy.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙) 01:56, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ninhonjoe, I just noticed that back in April you deleted Modern Art/My Little Brother with motivation "Non-notable music by artist with no Wikipedia article". I don't know in which state THAT article was when you deleted it, but you may want to check out better before deleting something, since the artist IS notable and DOES have a Wikipedia article :) -- WikiKiwi (askme) 04:13, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Please note these edits to the talk page of this indef blocked user, formerly known as User:Free Belarus, who you blocked back in March. It appears to be from the blocked editor, using an IP. If so, the IP has been editing extensively recently, and should be blocked for editing through a block. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 20:34, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
I requested my username to be changed from Karl-a-mon to Karlamon because I just wanted the hyphens removed to match my other usernames. I am not changing it for promotional purposes because I stopped Karlamon9 Productions some time ago and don't intend to use or continue with it. I want it to partly match my Wikia username which is Karlamon9. Thanks.-- Karlamon ( Talk • Contributions) 21:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Nihonjoe -- On one hand, Mentoring Tenmei was a failure because we didn't develop plausible strategies for averting the problem which has developed here at Talk:List of tributaries of Imperial China#Cite does not verify asserted "facts".
On the other hand, Mentoring Tenmei was a success because both Caspian blue and Teeninvestor appear to have withdrawn from Wikipedia, and I'm still here to address the kinds of questions their edits and strategies inspired. In their absence, WP:Verifiability/ WP:Use English/ WP:Burden will continue to be conflated with content issues; but my comments and questions are less likely to be misconstrued as personal attacks.
Nihonjoe -- Now that the formal mentorship period has ended, are you willing to help me develop a strategy for dealing with problems I expect to recur. These do not appear to be conventional in the editing experiences of everyone. This may be unique to East Asian topics and contributors; and if so, your perspective is all the more valuable.
I predict that problems like the one here will persist and increase in the foreseeable future -- not because this is a self-fulfilling prophesy -- but because of developments in East Asia and because of the nature of our collaborative context. This category includes the stale problems I discovered with Caspian blue at Talk:Joseon Tongsinsa/Archive 1 and also similar to what I encountered with Teeninvestor at Talk:Tang Dynasty in Inner Asia/Archive 1.
I do not invite your intervention in any specific dispute thread. Rather, I'm looking for the rare tweaks and parsing and analysis you choose to offer.
The response I'm looking for is binary: "yes" or "no"?
If you're no longer interested in this kind of open-ended activity, please accept my sincere thanks for the help you've already offered. -- Tenmei ( talk) 20:15, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Nihonjoe, could I ask you to check on a rename you processed? Something weird's come up since ICIWORLD was renamed to Hojuhanguk; his edits are now showing up under ICIWORLD's edit history.
After user got renamed (15:36, 21 December 2010), the edit history prior to the 21st was apparently moved over, but then somehow ICIWORLD got " created automatically" again (16:18, 21 December 2010) and then ICIWORLD was blocked and unblocked by OrangeMike (22:43-5, 21 December 2010) who said he was still waiting on the name change. Now the user seems to get logged in as ICIWORLD (that's how the edits are showing up in any case). Any ideas? Thanks, -- Joren ( talk) 03:45, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I was about to start a deletion discussion for Kazumi Amemiya, an article that you created. Currently it is an unsourced BLP and I have been unable to find reliable sources to add to the article. Perhaps you have access to sources? Happy Holidays J04n( talk page) 13:32, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
The article Kazumi Amemiya has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
