I've quickly knocked together this page, if you want to look and improve it.

Yuzu

If Chinese 柚子 is pomelo, not yuzu, then what is the Chinese name for what is called yuzu in Japanese (and which apparently originally came from China, and still grows wild in some parts of China, but is generally not grown commercially there)? And why do Japanese use the characters for pomelo to describe their yuzu? This is all important to discuss instead of/before just removing interwikis from the article. Badagnani 19:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Shogakukan's Chinese-Japanese dictionary says Chinese "香橙" means yuzu and "柚子" means pomelo. Shogakukan's Japanese-Chinese dictionary says yuzu is "柚" or "柚子" in Chinese. Sanseido's Daily Concise C-J says Chinese "香橙" means daidai and "柚" means pomelo. Sanseido's J-C says yuzu is "柚" or "柚子" in Chinese. Gakken's kanji dictionary says "柚" now refers to pomelo and Japanese name "yuzu" came from "柚子". Heibonsha World Encyclopedia says Chinese "柚" now refers to pomelo. --163.139.215.193 13:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Mudan

If you're going to "fix" the species names in one article, you ought to do it consistently as the articles on rockii don't agree. But it would also be good if you provide sources. The way we had it had already been checked. Badagnani 10:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

See Talk:Paeonia lactiflora for a source. Feel free to contact me if you need more information. Thank you. --163.139.215.193 13:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Cafe Alpha logo

Hi, you said the use of the Café Alpha logo was unfair. However, it satisfies all Wikipedia:Fair use criteria.

1. No free equivalent of the logo is available at this time.
2. Use of this logo would not prevent sales of the manga.
3. Shrunken from 6000x4000 to 256x172 for safety.
4. A different sized version, again shrunken from the original, was previously in use at Café Alpha. The original images were previously published in the manga.
5. It is high-quality and aethistically pleasing for inclusion in an encyclopedia, despite its small size, and is not merely decorational.
6. It is not known to violate any policy.
7. It is currently in use at YKK.
8. It identifies Café Alpha, the setting for a significant number of YKK episodes.
9. It is only used in the article namespace.
10. Also,
    • It attributes all people who contributed to the image.
    • It uses an appropriate fair use tag.
    • A fair use rationale is attached.

If you mean that people should have no right to create secondary works, I disagree. "Creativity always builds on the past." --Kjoonlee 18:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Ammended. --Kjoonlee 06:34, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the great picture. But I would suggest you replace the picture to Ashinano's own, unmodified version and then you will not have to explain why the unauthorized alteration is needed for the article. Still you will have to give a good reason why you need to use the "logo" as part of the article. If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you. --163.139.215.193 14:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Copyright issue

Look, often image names contain the name of the show. When it is that obvious its really reduddent to mention it. --Cat out 15:11, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for providing some source information on Image:Urd (Oh My Goddess!).png. I'm sure you can also provide the name of the copyright holders for its own image description page. Release date and/or episode number would also be helpful. If you need some help, please ask. --163.139.215.193 13:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Do not thank me, I provided the obvious. I do not need to provide the name of the copyright holder. Dude its a TV screenshot from a spesific anime, I was nice enough to put the anime title on the image title as well. Don't overdo the copyright issues. --Cat out 01:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

No source info?

I've noticed with Image:Nadia-Sanson001.png and Image:Nadia-Grandis003.png and possibly others, you've tagged it with no source info, but the image description has "This screenshot was taken by Federico Pistono from the original DVD." and it's tagged as tv-screenshot, so what source info beyond that should be added for those with the same image description? TransUtopian 18:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for writing. At least there should be proper attribution:

• Who created this image?
• Who owns the copyright to this image?

See Wikipedia:Image use policy, Wikipedia:Image description page and Wikipedia:Fair use for more information. --163.139.215.193 15:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Those are not source issues, you need to use the correct tags. -- Ned Scott 12:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Whats up?

A qucik review of your contribs show you mass tag images for deletion with various reasons... Most notably a lack of source or citation of the creator etc. Please dont overdo it. You should definately NOT revert war over tagging.

I'd like to note, each fair use upload does not require an essay. Wikipedia editors often take screenshots of anime and etc. Please see: WP:AGF.

--Cat out 01:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for advice. --163.139.215.193 15:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Stained glass

• Concerning the use of the image you deleted from the article, One could choose to describe the image simply as as my own photo.

This is what most people who photgraph sculpture, architecture and stained glass do.

But being myself an artist, and a writer about stained glass, I would like to acknowledge the artist if possible. You must realise that probably every single photo of 20th century glass falls into precisely the same category as the photo you singled out for deletion. The reason being that I labelled it fair use and acknowledged that someone else might have a right to it.

• I really object to having someone who doesn't have a home page removing anything from an article I have worked on. You identify in the same way as every vandal who also knocks meaningful material out of articles.

• could you please send a message to state your intention of removing something that a person has uploaded?

--Amandajm 13:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I just checked out the Image again and discovered that it fulfils in every way the requirements for the upload and use of a low resolution photo of an artwork, used in an article about the genre or technique etc etc etc. I wrote it out a little more fully, in case there might be any further misunderstanding. Before you delete a FAIR USE image, you need to check out the justification for its use.

Umeshu

Hi, you removed the (plum wine) description. Just curious why - I note you also updated the umeshu page to say mistranslated some time ago. It may not be a precise translation but it is how it is generally referred to in English in my experience, and is likely to be more descriptive to someone who doesn't know the drink already. Do you have a preferred translation; or just prefer to leave it at umeshu? Despite asking I'm fine with your change FWIW. Akihabara 22:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I removed "(plum wine)" from the shochu article because "umeshu (plum wine)" was erroneous and misleading people who don't know the drink. I have to admit that just "umeshu" is not very good but I hope someone else will come up with better expression. Okay, let me see... How about this? "It forms the base of several cocktails and liqueurs such as chuhai and umeshu." --163.139.215.193 17:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

That's cool; I've updated the page; thanks for the suggestion. Akihabara 22:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to miso

Hakusai is, in English, "chinese cabbage". Rather than deleting the reference to cabbage entirely, a safer solution is to look for a more appropriate article.

Nukamiso, as stated in the article, is considered a type of miso culturally in japan - hence the name and the use of the same kanji, 味噌 (ie. 糠味噌). I don't think it was appropriate to delete all mention of it... while chemically it is not the same thing, it falls under the "miso" category according to japanese culinary linguistics.

Just giving a rationale for my partial revert, partial edit :) cheers Erk|Talk _{-- I like traffic lights --} 13:46, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

edit: Checked on the japanese article that nukamiso is fermented with kojikin as well. Doesn't lend a lot of rationale to nukamiso being a kind of miso, since almost everything here is fermented with kojikin, but I think nukamiso does belong in the miso article. At the very least there is not enough info about it to make an article on its own, and there is really no other logical place for it. Erk|Talk _{-- I like traffic lights --} 13:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Hakusai is not usually pickled in miso (but sometimes in nukamiso). Nukamiso is used only as pickling medium, not for eat. It is fermented with lactic acid bacteria, not koji. Nukamiso is already described in the article nukazuke. If you need more information, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you. --163.139.215.193 13:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Please stop. Your repeated edits are nonconstructive and are considered to be vandalism. Please do not put template "delete" on a legal image that I created and upload as Image:Workimagethumb49.png

Thank you Flavio/Tigre Reietta 13:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Flavio, Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Please stop tagging pictures created by other people as your own creation. Thanks again. --163.139.215.193 14:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

hi

bye

Please stop tagging DOA images for copyright vio.

Both of the images you have tagged: Image:Deadoralive leon.jpg and Image:Nicole (DOA).gif have copyright tags on them, and have had them since they were uploaded. Please pay more attention when doing so.--Oni Ookami Alfador^Talk|@ 20:20, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Copyright tags are insufficient, the copyright owner must be acknowledged. Note to IP: sorry for just jumping in on this one, the reply was obvious. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 20:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. --163.139.215.193 12:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

One problem, under the current Image policy fair use images with correct tagging (which that has) is done, so long as a source URL is specified if it was taken from a website. Both images clearly fall under fair use as screen shots used for informational purposes.--Oni Ookami Alfador^Talk|@ 06:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

excuse me?

Image:Tsukiko.jpg explain why you tagged this picture. "THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" 13:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Why are you doing this?! I mean, can't we have a break?! --Addict 2006 13:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'll take a break. --163.139.215.193 15:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Troubles with anime screenshots?

Do you have any troubles with my anime screenshots? The copyright is on the image page; what shall I do else?--Homei 17:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, As for Image:Shen2.png, the copyright holder should be Akira Toriyama and Toei Animation. The source seems to be the episode # 138 of the TV anime series Dragon Ball. This information must be included on the image description page, not only on the article page where it is used. Note that the copyright holder is the creator of the work, not the person who captured the screenshot. For more information please see Help:Image page, Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria and Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline. Thank you. --163.139.215.193 10:50, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
