[edit] Saitama

Excellent addition to Saitama! Welcome to Wikipedia! --Menchi 06:37, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Map of Niihama

Thanks for uploading Image:NiihamaJapanMap.png. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks so much, – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 17:02, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Tsunami

Replied on Talk:Hokusai. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 01:28, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Yosa Buson

Thank you for creating the Yosa Buson article. When I first started editing on the Wikipedia, it was one of the articles that I noticed was missing. I was going to write an article myself, but when I noticed that the Japanese Wikipedia already had a large article, I was hoping that someone would translate that article instead of me having to create one from scratch. I own Sawa and Shiffert's "Haiku Master Buson" and a few other good resources, so probably add a little to what you've created. gK ¿? 11:42, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tessaiga/Tetsusaiga, re-visited

Hi. I have posted a request to revisit this topic at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related_articles). Thanks. Your input will be appreciated. LG-犬夜叉 23:46, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WP:RM#Proposed changes

If you are still interested in the subject please see WP:RM#Proposed changes. --Philip Baird Shearer 21:30, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Miyabe

I found out Miyuki Miyabe's books are published in English by Kodansha America [1], so I changed her naming order :) WhisperToMe 23:38, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

One more thing: Do you know the Japanese title for this book? Crossfire (Miyuki Miyabe novel) WhisperToMe 00:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you :) WhisperToMe 03:45, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kuroda

"I wasn't sure if Kuroda's given name would be best romanized Iou or Iō. Depends on which romanization system you prefer. I also wondered if there should be a pronunciation guide since users unfamiliar with Japanese might not know how to pronounce his name: it's EE-oh, not EYE-oh. CES 07:12, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)"

His works are published in English (Sexy Voice and Robo by VIZ Media) as "Iou Kuroda" WhisperToMe 06:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese language talk page

Excuse me for moving that material, it was replying to a different point in the discussion. --DannyWilde 23:24, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jun Ishikawa

The Jun Ishikawa article was moved to Jun Ishikawa (author) (I also fixed all links back to his page) to make way for disambiguation. Hopefully I didn't break anything too badly, as this is my first disambiguation. Kil 18:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese Macrons Mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Japanese macrons, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  00:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Please come sign on to the RFM, CES, so we can finally put this issue to bed. It's gone on long enough, and will likely continue to do so unless we take care of this. Thanks! --nihon 19:24, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've been assigned to be the mediator for the Japanese Macrons case. Discussion will be carried out on the Talk page of the case request. I will have some preliminary questions up soon, I am looking forward to working with everyone to get this resolved. Thank you, pschemp | talk 16:24, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pre-Meiji Period: Use of Japanese era name in identifying disastrous events

Would you consider making a contribution to an exchange of views at either of the following:

• Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disaster management#Renaming 1703 Genroku earthquake?
• Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#Renaming 1703 Genroku earthquake?

As you may know, Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management came up with entirely reasonable guidelines for naming articles about earthquakes, fires, typhoons, etc. However, the <<year>><<place> <<event>> format leaves no opportunity for conventional nengō which have been used in Japan since the eighth century (701-1945) -- as in "the Great Fire of Meireki" (1657) or for "the Hōei eruption of Mount Fuji" (1707).

In a purely intellectual sense, I do look forward to discovering how this exchange of views will develop; but I also have an ulterior motive. I hope to learn something about how better to argue in favor of a non-standard exception to conventional, consensus-driven, and ordinarily helpful wiki-standards such as this one. In my view, there does need to be some modest variation in the conventional paradigms for historical terms which have evolved in non-Western cultures -- no less in Wikipedia than elsewhere. I'm persuaded that, at least in the context of Japanese history before the reign of Emperor Meiji (1868-1912), some non-standard variations seem essential; but I'm not sure how best to present my reasoning to those who don't already agree with me. I know these first steps are inevitably awkward; but there you have it.

The newly-created 1703 Genroku earthquake article pushed just the right buttons for me. Obviously, these are questions that I'd been pondering for some time; and this became a convenient opportunity to move forward in a process of building a new kind of evolving consensus. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 18:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
