Thanks! ···日本穣 Leave me a new message Animage, February 2005 Hello, Nihonjoe. There a small mystery that I am trying to clear up with this issue of Animage, and luckily I saw that you have a copy. This translated interview includes the terms "smacking" and "dabbing", which the translator explains as "placing an object in front of the subject for composition." I couldn't find anything on these terms in English though, so am I curious as to what words that Shinbo used in Japanese. [1] There is a scan of this page, but what I am looking for is on the previous page, which was not scanned (this page begins with the line translated as "Oguro: In terms of story content, how was it? It’s an original story, isn’t it.") Could you please provide a copy of the response with the smacking/dabbing line? Thanks in advance. — Goszei (talk) 00:33, 26 April 2021 (UTC) @Goszei: I will try to remember to look it up when I get home from work.

Thanks for the help =) I noticed you deleted the Bibliography from the page. I'm somewhat unclear why you did that. You site that its redundant but work section only sites a handful of authors short shorts. Also a tables are more readable and lay out information more effectively Looking at other authors with its common section see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_R._R._Martin#Bibliography IF that needs to spun out into its own page that is another issue. Let me know your thoughts Frdino (talk) 00:17, 29 April 2021 (UTC) @Frdino: Your claim that the "work section only sites a handful of authors short shorts" is incorrect. It lists all of his novels, shorts, and editor credits, not just "a handful of authors short shorts". With how much he's put out, a table would not be easier to read, but rather a cumbersome beast to read. I agree regarding the bibliography being split out, though, so I've done that: Larry Correia bibliography. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 13:46, 29 April 2021 (UTC) I think the main page for Larry still needs something like a one paragraph description of each series to provide context. Where the Bibliography is more there as a list of all his stuff. At this point I think we just disagree on if that should be a table or leave it as is but I concede the point to the more senior editor. Frdino (talk) 02:38, 27 May 2021 (UTC) @Frdino: I've added a bit about each of the three main series. Feel free to add information about other series, too. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:41, 27 May 2021 (UTC) Nomination of Larry H.

I believe the page 'Doctors Academy Group of Educational Establishments' was removed. I understand this is because it had been created multiple times in the past. I did not personally create these pages, and am still learning the ropes of Wikipedia and was in the process of perfecting the page so it complied with the guidelines based on the reviews given. I quickly undid the UPE which seemed to be the biggest problem and was in the process of fixing any copyright issue. We believe the page is notable as it is an educational establishment and I was wondering if there was any way to get it back and continue improving it to stay in line with guidelines, or to set up a new one from scratch. If this is possible, and if you have any further advice for me, that would be great. Thank you.

Since we work for the library, it qualifies as COI and I would like another editor to look at it. First--does it pass notability criteria?

You're the administrator who indefinitely blocked the editor who made the edit and also you're probably quite familair with all of the discussions that have taken place over the years related to this kind of disambigualtion when it comes to Japanese cities who share their name with a prefecture.

I guess I always assumed you were Japanese,but I see from your userpage that you're not. I hope I may still ask you a language question? I blocked an apparently Japanese user indefinitely a couple of weeks ago for sealioning, egregious ABF, etc, etc.[2] They have posted several unblock requests, all declined, where they say it's all a misunderstanding due to language difficulties. (Their English seems fine to me, but I suppose that doesn't preclude having trouble understanding certain words.) Specifically, they didn't know what PhD / Doctor of Philosopy meant, and that's the reason they carried on the way they did here. (They actually express this most clearly in the section above my block notice,[3] in response to warnings by Acroterion.) Could you please tell me whether that claim to ignorance is credible? I note that the Japanese wikipedia has an article on Doctor of Philosophy, which includes the abbreviation PhD. Is PhD a thing in Japanese? It looks a substantial article, so I find it hard to believe it's merely about a foreign concept. Regards, Bishonen | tålk 04:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC). @Bishonen: Yes, Ph.D. is a thing in Japan. They even call it a "Ph.D." More commonly, though, they have a degree called "Academic Doctor" (see here). It's possible, though I think unlikely, that someone would be unfamiliar with the term with as good a command of English as this editor has. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:11, 30 September 2021 (UTC) I see.

This is a very important anniversary to various cultures, and you better celebrate it. I did a good article review for a video that was released exclusively to Japan, so there's a hefty amount of Japanese sources. They didn't have English translations, so I left that as one of the comments, but I'm now noticing this is a lot of work for someone who doesn't speak the language. I don't want you to simply translate all of the sources yourself, because that's a lot of work too, so I'm curious; how can an English speaker best translate these references themself? As in, what source or translator would work best for this? I don't think Google Translate is the best quality, because it usually isn't accurate, so what other options are there? Panini!🥪 14:25, 22 October 2021 (UTC) @Panini!: I don't know that someone who only speaks/reads English would have an easy time using Japanese sources. Google Translate is good enough to usually get a basic idea of what a source is saying, but unless you have experience with the language and can catch subtleties that Google Translate doesn't, you won't always understand what something is really saying. Your best bet is to work with someone who understands Japanese and has the time to help you out. You may find some help at ja:Wikipedia:Help for Non-Japanese Speakers, though it's really hit-or-miss whether you get someone to answer there. Hope that helps! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:49, 28 October 2021 (UTC) Nihonjoe, thanks for letting me know!

The reason why I modified some information in the article about the Akihabara massacre is because you were adding inexistent rumors. Yes.

It's just that, until where I know, there were never rumors which linked such executions to that tragedy, until I read such rumors; well, maybe a journalist told them, but this doesn't assures they could be true or not, because sometimes, journalists could be wrong. But whatever the case, it was just a mere coincidence. Seriously sorry for causing unwillingly problems. It wasn't my intention. Greetings.--Matsumaru94 (talk) 21:33, 28 October 2021 (UTC) @Matsumaru94: That's why it's important to read sources before you assume they don't mention something. Whether there is actually a connection, we may never know, but it was reported that there appeared to be one in multiple reliable sources. That's why that's remaining in the article. If you have any questions in the future about this or anything else, please let me know.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help. If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter. We have two suggested ways this identity could work.

I come to you with a request for translating this title from a Japanese article: マリオ生誕20周年記念で『ファミコンミニスーパーマリオブラザーズ』の再販決定！. I know I could just use Google Translate however I want to make sure this title is as accurate as possible (I know how inaccurate Google Translate can be). Also, I was wondering whether this website counts as a Reliable Source for me to cite. [4] If you don't know the answer then I will posit my answer onto the RS Noticeboard. Thank you for reading and hope you have a good day.

CaptainGalaxy 23:27, 18 April 2022 (UTC) (edit conflict) @Captain Galaxy: And yes, Dengeki Online is definitely a reliable source. They're one of the major game magazine companies in Japan, doing hundreds of reviews in several different magazines. They're owned by ASCII Media Works. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:29, 18 April 2022 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Brandon Sanderson The article Brandon Sanderson you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Brandon Sanderson for comments about the article. Well done!

Useight (talk) 03:06, 2 May 2022 (UTC) possibility of moving a photo from Commons to enwiki? Hi, I made a mistake on the copyrights of the images on Minerva Teichert. Since they were originally unpublished, their copyright doesn't expire until 150 years after the date of their creation (which isn't for another 2-4 years). I nominated the two photos from the body of the page for deletion on Commons. I think that the infobox image can be used under fair use. Should I nominate it for deletion on Commons and re-upload to enwiki, or is there a way to move it from Commons to enwiki? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:25, 2 May 2022 (UTC) @Rachel Helps (BYU): There may be a tool to move from Commons to enwiki (I think there's a template for doing that). The fastest way, though, is to upload it here. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:58, 2 May 2022 (UTC) thanks, I'll do it that way then. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:33, 2 May 2022‎ (UTC) Thanks Thanks for the quick move back. Was about to update the text but thanks to the backshift it's gone now: [5]. --Bwag (talk) 21:22, 2 May 2022 (UTC) @Bwag: It's always best to change the text first to include the reasons for the move and supporting references. Then move the page. Also, you moved it to "Belvedere 21.JPG". What's the ".JPG" for? I couldn't see that on the link you provided above. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:35, 2 May 2022 (UTC) @Bwag: I've moved it to Belvedere 21, and updated the lead, infobox, and external links accordingly. Feel free to add a reference for the name change. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:41, 2 May 2022 (UTC) Ulleungdo Hello.
