The Special Barnstar
Thanks a lot for your hard work and contributions in the Kumiko Nishihara page. I really appreciate it that you took your time to write all of that. I really thank you. MauruNeko (talk) 16:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply


Mika Yamamoto edit

Thank you very much for your "strong keep" vote. You suggested some improvements referring to the article in Japanese WP. I hope you may help improving the article using its Japanese counterpart.Egeymi (talk) 18:06, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Jun Kayama, thank you very much for your invaluable edits and corrections. Best, Egeymi (talk) 19:29, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ryukyu Province edit

Thanks Jun. I've also gone ahead and cleaned up all the references that Ansei added to Ryukyu Province elsewhere on Wikipedia. Bueller 007 (talk) 16:06, 23 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Also, for your consideration. Someone started this article on Japanese Wikipedia today: [1] Bueller 007 (talk) 16:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Fortunately, that article is 100% correct.
1. It states Ryukyu-koku 琉球国 was used at various times for the Kingdom, the Domain, and later Okinawa Prefecture, and at times it had equal meaning in use as other actual Domain established as 令制国.
2. It states Ryukyu-koku 琉球国 name was never established by edict or proclamation, and the exact origin of the term is indeterminable.
This is the article that should have existed, not Ryukyu Province. Ryukyu Domain actually needs significant work as historical account to expand on the end of Ryukyu monarchy. Actually, maybe AfD or merge. Do you want to take it on or should I? Jun Kayama 22:52, 23 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that was my opinion of the article as well. It might be helpful as a reference in explaining to Ansei why he sometimes stumbles upon references to "Ryukyu Province" when in fact, it was never really a province. I'm not sure we need a translation of 琉球国 (地名) on English Wikipedia. (I'm not sure they need 琉球国 (地名) on Japanese Wikipedia either, to be honest.) It seems like it would be enough to mention this fact somewhere in the Ryukyu Islands or History of the Ryukyu Islands articles. Bueller 007 (talk) 00:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
History of the Ryukyu Islands article section for Ryukyu Domain is extremely weak. There is no reason to have Ryukyu Domain as separate article when it would be better as redirect into parent article, with more substantive writing for subsection in History of the Ryukyu Islands. I will try for rewrite sometime next week, and then maybe propose AfD for Ryukyu Domain after that. Jun Kayama 00:51, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Also, for Ansei, I vote agreement for all his other AfDs. Cleanup of what I understand is called "Samurai fancruft" here is very useful. It is strange why he could not see or understand issues with Ryukyu Province article, but it is finished now. Jun Kayama 00:53, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:56, 20 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
