Hey there! I am pretty new to wikipedia, but I have been having a good time putting some articles together. I would appreciate if anyone would take a look at my most recent one, and give me some feedback.
Sorry if this isn't the right place to make this request!
Here it is:
Thanks!

Here are the current candidates:
Does anyone else have any candidates? I think leaving this open until Friday, June 9, 2006 would allow anyone interested to propose candidates. Please keep in mind that the candidates must be free. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon jo e 20:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, since no one else seems to be interested, I'm going to declare the red hinomaru sensu the winner as it has twice as many votes as either of the others. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon jo e 02:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Please write support under a heading if you support a barnstar.
I've been thinking the main page needs a makeover to make it more inviting. I've made one possiblity here. If you have thoughts on this makeover, or if you have other possible ideas, please share them here. Thanks! (^_^)··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon jo e 23:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
So, anyone else have any comments? I'd like to get as many comments, ideas, thoughts, etc., as possible. (^_^) ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon jo e 07:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello all. Today I began creating a " kuge" category, surprised that no one had previously. I quickly came across Category:Japanese nobility. Is this category sufficient to toss in all the officials, bureaucrats, and ministers, or should we create a separate category for "Classical (Nara and Heian periods) Japanese bureaucrats and court officials?" And if we do create that category, what do we call it? Thanks for your input. LordAmeth 12:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I am trying to establish a "Far East task force," or, if there is enough support, a "Japanese military history task force" sub-section of the Military history WikiProject. If you're already working on military history articles, then all you need to do is offer your support and add your name to a list of task force members. You're already doing the task force's work; we don't ask much more than that. The link to my task force proposal is here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history#Far_East_Task_Force_Proposal. Thank you. LordAmeth 15:57, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
A number of us are talking about capitalization of Japanese song, band, and album titles on the WikiProject Songs page. Please come and register an opinion. Thanks!-- Mike Selinker 14:52, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Would anyone happen to know places to look for critical reviews of Japanese television programs? Google.co.jp isn't turning up anything useful, but I probably don't know the right terms to use. Any help would be appreciated!-- Monocrat 17:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
The article Tokio has been promoted to featured status. Fg2 03:23, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
This article has been listed as A class, it failed GA for having significant pieces of information ommitted from the article. The article in the lead says the following ethnic break down of the comfort women is were 40 % Japanese, 20 % Koreans, 10 % Chinese, with others making up the remaining 30 %(uncited), yet the article only covers the events surrounding Korean women, that leaves 80% of the article still to be completed. The article is currently has on going edit wars over the information and its presentation. To be A class the article needs to be . At the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status it needs also to Provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic This article doesnt meet this criteria and I suggest that it be re-assessed. Gnangarra 09:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
After reviewing the Tokyo article for Version 0.5, and reading of the immense size and importance of the Tokyo economy, I was very surprised to see that there is no article called Economy of Tokyo. Many cities with sizeable economies have articles of this sort, such as Economy of Vancouver or Economy of New York City. Would this be a useful article to have for Tokyo as well, or is it inappropriate? Thanks, Walkerma 04:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I've just encountered this gem at Tsu, Mie: "Tsu" is believed by many to be the shortest-pronounceable city name in the world, having more or less the sound of the letter "z" (as opposed to the name of the letter) in English. Aside from the way in which this raises the possibility of city names that cheat because they're not pronouncable (let's imagine one named, say, /qp/ in IPA), this suggests a certain misapperception of the pronunciation of Japanese. Maybe the misapperception is mine. -- Hoary 08:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Not directly related to Japan specifically, but there is a proposal underway to eliminate all but the very largest train stations from the English wikipedia. User:Mangoe/Wikipedia is not a timetable and the associated talk page is where the discussion seems to be taking place. There is already a notice at Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains in Japan; but, I think that there are people in this project who have contributed to various train station articles, even though they aren't a member of the trains project and do not monitor that page regularly. That, and the fact that trains seem to be disproportionately important to Japanese culture as a whole, is why I mentioned it here. Neier 13:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Could a Japanese speaker please take a look at Dattebayo, we keep having anime fanboys who only know of it from Naruto coming in and saying that it means "Believe it". In addition, the article needs some cleanup and expansion anyway. -- Cyde↔Weys 13:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Could someone have a look at Kume Keiichiro and Kume Kunitake. They are father and son but share the same birth and death dates. Thx MeltBanana 17:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
If anyone has the time, I put together two new articles for WikiProject Japan
Thanks!
MightyAtom 13:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I would like to inquire as to the standard form for those Japanese art terms that end in "-e" and "-ga"; or, if there is no set standard, I'd like to start a discussion to seek a consensus and standard. Upon cursory examination, it seems we have consistency on "-e", as seen in the titles of the articles on yamato-e, e-maki, nishiki-e, and ukiyo-e. However, while there are articles titled nihonga, nanga (art), and bunjinga (which is a redirect to nanga), there is also bijin-ga. I have not really taken the time to scour the 'pedia for other "e" and "ga" terms, so I am not sure how much consistency there is overall.
My personal opinion on the matter is to keep the dashes for "e", and to omit them for "ga". Might seem odd, but that's what I've seen most often, and what I am most comfortable with. As a curatorial intern at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, I have come across countless articles referring to both nihonga and nihon-ga, bunjin-ga and bunjinga, but very very few that write yamatoe, onnae, otokoe, or ukiyoe without the dashes. I would love to know what others think. Or, again, if there is already a standard set, please let me know of that. LordAmeth 23:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
So, how about this:
Is that simple enough? Any ideas for wording changes? ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon jo e 22:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay, since it's been about a week since any comment, I've made the change here. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihon jo e 19:57, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
In a separate discussion, someone brought up the point that while our train station articles usually link to the city or town that they are located in, the reverse is not usually true. There are some exceptions: Chuo-ku, Osaka and Izumi-ku, Sendai have their stations listed; but, most cities and towns do not.
Even if adding a list of stations will significantly increase the size of some articles on the smaller towns around the country, I think that it is a good idea to add them, and it is a good idea to come up with some sort of standard way to do it. In various articles, I have seen sections titled Transport , or Transportation, or Train stations. We should pick one (or a different one) and go with it.
What do others think? Neier 14:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok. I made a sample edit to Yuzawa, Akita (Chosen because it was A relatively simple, with just six stations; B out of the way, with not much activity; and C all station articles exist, so no red links). Please feel free to make comments here, or edit it directly with improvements. After it settles down, and everyone (train-related, and non-train-related contributors) has a chance to comment, etc, I'll move this discussion to the trains project for the implementation phase. Neier 13:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Another way to think about doing it would be to follow the format of the Japanese pages and listing the stations horizontally rather than vertically. It would be more condensed that way and prevent a lot of blank space on the right side of the page. Here's how Yuzawa could be done:
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I think the single-line, track order is a good standard to follow. I'm moving this over to the Trains talk page for now. Neier 02:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Talk:List of largest suspension bridges this list is currently a featured list it has used Image:Kurushima-Kaikyo Bridge small.jpg off the japanese wikipedia but there is uncertainty about the copyright status would some here be able to assist with this. thankyou. Gnangarra 12:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
How does one go about getting their articles assessed? I see the grading scale, but I don't really know how to submit them, or who does the assessing.
Thanks!

Greetings all. I have finally been successful (along with the much appreciated aid of Nobunaga24 and Kirill Lokshin) in getting a Japanese military history task force created over at WikiProject Military history. Please take a look and join up if you're interested; or simply take a look. どうもありがとうございます。 LordAmeth 17:30, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Pascal.Tesson left a request on my talk page for help with determining the notability of certain Japanese hotels listed at List of famous hotels, as the list is about to be deleted. Many hotels on the list have links that he's tried to create, but since he can't read Japanese, it is probably limited to whichever hotels have English web sites. There may be others which are notable (I think New Otani in Tokyo probably would make the cut), so he has asked for help in seeing if they are worthy of an article or not, before the list goes away. I am unfamiliar with anything outside of Tōhoku or Tokyo, so if you have any insight to the other areas, please let him know; or, be WP:BOLD and make the articles. I plan on surfing the Japanese side to see what is there, but there may be a better set of criteria. Neier 22:53, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I don't speak Japanese, so I have no idea if the edits from IP 220.254.0.14 are good or not. Some of the edits are obvious vandalism, while others are not and others are changes to Japanese words. I would strongly appreciate if someone who had a command of the language would a) drop a note to the IP b) look through some of the non-reverted edits and see if they make any sense. Thanks.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I just finished all the articles that were in both Category:Japan stubs and Category:Unassessed Japan-related articles after making sure they were indeed stubs so although I'm sure it'll be good to go over again in the future it doesn't immediately have to be redone.

I'm currently working on a script intended to create short articles on political parties on a variety of wikipedias simultaneously. However, in order for the technique to work I need help with translations to various languages. If you know any of the languages listed at User:Soman/Lang-Help , then please help by filling in the blanks. For example I need help with Japanese. Thanks, -- Soman 12:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC) (originally posted on the noticeboard)

There is a straw poll on the proposed wording, for Sea of Japan's "Naming" section. Poll ends Aug. 14, 2006, or one week from last vote if that comes sooner. See Talk:Sea of Japan#New proposal, new vote.-- Endroit 21:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if this isn't quite appropriate for this talk page here. LordAmeth 01:23, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
There is a straw poll on the proposed wording, for Sea of Japan's "Naming" section. Poll ends Aug. 14, 2006, or one week from last vote if that comes sooner. See Talk:Sea of Japan#New proposal, new vote.-- Endroit 21:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
