I need some help for the "Wicked City (novel series)" article

Just now, I noticed that you needed the English titles for the "Wicked City" light novels back in 2015. So far, I improved the Wiki article so that it would be more encompassing of the series. I was wondering if you were able to create a synopsis (and review section) from Japanese sources. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 06:07, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoshiman6464: I've never touched that article, so I don't know what you are talking about. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:48, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nihonjoe: I thought you might be interested in the article because you discussed the English titles back in 2015. My apologies for not clarifying directly. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 04:06, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Yoshiman6464: Ah, yes. I was trying to find information for a different project. I'm not really interested in the topic. Thanks for asking, though. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:32, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Date article Nihonjoe

@Nihonjoe: Hello, I saw your year calendar editation, and it is absolutely all right. This user Elizium23 is just professional bully who just overturns Wikipedia rules and tries to devastate good environment of editations with his agressive litteral sticking to the rules paragraphs, and turn them over. Thanks for your time. --ThecentreCZ (talk) 06:53, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ThecentreCZ: There's no need to ping me on my own talk page. As for Elizium23, I think they are sincere in their efforts to improve Wikipedia. In this case, I think they were a little overzealous in how they applied a rather obscure guideline. I hold no ill feelings toward them. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:03, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Leader of Japan

who is the leader of Japan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6080:6F08:C200:1142:561:89C1:9D55 (talk) 18:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@2603:6080:6F08:C200:1142:561:89C1:9D55: Depends on what you mean by "leader". The Prime Minister of Japan and the current emperor both have leadership roles. Or are you meaning something else? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:43, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

An then-new-ish (since July 2020) editor you blocked late last year has a new, unblocked declared alt-account.[1]

It's been a few months so if his current edits are not themselves disruptive, perhaps a "block with an opportunity to unblock ONE account, with appropriate conditions" either immediately or after a short "block-evasion-penalty-period" (say, 4-5 days, the age of the new account) might be in order. If his new account's contributions are similar to the old one, then it's just a routine block-evading sock. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:34, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidwr: Looks like they were blocked by Dreamy Jazz. The best thing to do in cases like this is to report them on WP:SPI. They get handled faster that way. Thanks again! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:03, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SPI would've almost certainly led to a fast-block without a nuanced comparison between the two editors' conduct. Since you blocked the first editor, you were presumably more familiar with his past than others, and could make a comparison. That said, if Praxidicae took the time to look into this and came to the conclusion that the new account's edits were the "same disruptive edits", well, that pretty much closes the case. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:02, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I mean they quite literally admitted it. CUPIDICAE💕 01:23, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ANIME/Magazines subpages

Hello Nihonjoe, I've been cleaning up loose ends at the WikiProject lately, and noticed that there are several hundred subpages that you created, mostly circa 2010 (see [2] for a list), dedicated to the monthly issues of anime/manga magazines.

For the sake of reducing the number of pages to maintain, would you object if I substituted those individual month subpages to the main year pages (for example, this one) and got rid of the monthly ones? Related question: if they should be subst'd, should they be redirects (none of the samples I checked had incoming links except from each other and the month links at Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Magazines, which I would remove), should I CSD them with G6, or should you CSD them with G7? — Goszei (talk) 03:11, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Goszei: Feel free to subst them if you wish. Space really isn't an issue, though, so it's not really necessary. If you do, let me know when they are all substed and I can delete them. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:19, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I now have subst'd all the ones listed at [3], so the month pages are ready for deletion. Re:space, I meant 'reduced maintenance' in the context of future editor effort, rather than WP:PERFORMANCE. — Goszei (talk) 19:38, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have an unrelated question that I should ask since I have a thread open. What was your process for making the "On this day" entries for the portal (see the examples for February). I wanted to revamp the entries as a whole and add more dates, so I wanted to know if you used some semi-automated methods or a search technique that would make it easier. — Goszei (talk) 23:55, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Goszei: (edit conflict) Mainly just doing a search for "DATE" and "anime". It's tedious, but it let me find things. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:58, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Outlanders

Hello. I'm currently making improvements to the Outlanders (manga) article offline and plan on posting a complete revamp soon. With your vast collection of academic works, I was wondering if, when you had time, you could provide me with any information they contain on the manga, its OVA, or even its author Johji Manabe. I know that Manga: The Complete Guide and 500 Essential Anime Movies: The Ultimate Guide both have reviews blurbs on it, but I can't access those pages on Google Books. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Haitch2PointOh (talk) 17:44, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Haitch2PointOh: I'll see what I can find. Send me an email to remind me. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:04, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have published the changes to the article. I managed to get my hands one of the resources, but if you still have time to provide some of the others, I would still be appreciative. Haitch2PointOh (talk) 20:45, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

[4] 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)[reply]

@Goszei: I will try to remember to look it up when I get home from work. Reply here if I don't respond within the next couple days or so. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 15:53, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Larry Correia Biography section

Good evening,

I saw you helped clean up the Larry Correia Wiki article.

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]
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)[reply]
@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)[reply]

Doctors Academy Group

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this. 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. Afbell (talk) 11:00, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Afbell: I recommend starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Doctors Academy Group of Educational Establishments.

BYU Family History Library

Hi Nihonjoe, my student has been editing BYU Family History Library. 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? My student, Cstickle found a few independent news articles that I think establish notability, but we could also merge the page with Harold B. Lee Library or the Family History Library. Let me know what you think. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:23, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
