Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
Two issues I would like to help see resolved are (1) various categorization disputes. I enjoy categorizing things, and I enjoy seeing things categorized in a simple and meaningful way. We've finally reached consensus on the vast majority of "History of Foo", "Battles of Foo" and related categories; I think my next target will be WWII battles which are currently organized by campaign, and not under the "Battles by country" category tree. (2) The use of diacritics and foreign letters in article titles. I don't know what the consensus is, and to be honest, I'm confused what the official policy is. But as a Japanese historian, I do not know how to pronounce the French "ç" or the Portuguese "ő", and I do not want to have to search for things under those names. Anyway, this is not the place to argue my entire opinion on the matter, but suffice it to say that if Tōkyō and Kyōto are to be titled as Tokyo and Kyoto (no diacritics), then articles from other languages should be too.
Genpei War - One of the first articles I created, the page for the war itself doesn't look like anything special, and perhaps could use some work. However, the articles of all but one of that war's battles were created by myself and edited only superficially by others.
Tzippori - One of a handful of articles which I edited towards NPOV, Jacob Schiff being another. I was astonished to discover that Tzippori had no article, and the only reference was a brief article about the nearby Muslim/Arab town which was destroyed in the 1948 war. A strongly anti-Israel (read: biased) article, ignoring entirely the long history of this town, one of the oldest Jewish settlements ever discovered.
Japanese castle - While the argument could certainly be made that Spanish, English, and Eastern European castles differ in significant and important ways, I think Japanese castles are different enough to warrant a separate article. Another long, involved article, complete with pictures which I created and which remains 80-90% my own edits.
