Image Tagging Image:Cdgval.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cdgval.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 14:28, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

re: Ishikawa

Hi - I replied on my talk page (added a <span> tag) and thought maybe you might be able to see if it helps on a non-Safari browser, but looking at your user page it seems you also contribute using a Mac (small world, huh?). I just checked IE on a Windows machine, and the change works on this combination as well so I think we're good. BTW - thanks for the prompt to do this. I noticed this when I originally set up the template and (at the time) didn't come up with a reasonable solution. I think support for <span> has been added in the interim, so it's fixable now. -- Rick Block (talk) 16:24, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Aichi Prefecture and Akita Prefecture look fine to me (on two lines). The way it should work is it all fits on one line, and if not, then the Japanese name and transliteration appear together following a line break. Is this not what you're seeing? In my browser, Tokyo (for example) fits on one line with no line break. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Kaisha vs. gaisha

Please do not change any instances of "kaisha" to "gaisha" as they are the same thing and the pronunciation largely depends on where in Japan you live. If you have any questions, please see Kabushiki kaisha. Thanks! (^_^) --日本穣 Nihonjoe 00:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Nihongo template

Thanks for all your work on putting this template to good use. In order to allow people to find the style guidelines that refer to its use, please put "per [[WP:MOS-JA]]" (without the quotes) in the edit summary. Again, thanks for your great work on this. It's definitely appreciated. (^_^) --日本穣 Nihonjoe 22:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Japan

Seeing as you're already doing a lot for Japan-related articles, I thought I'd extend the invitation to join WikiProject Japan. There's a good little group of us already, and I think you'd fit right into the flow. You can join by visiting the Participants page. (^_^) --日本穣 Nihonjoe 23:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Munemitsu Mutsu

Can you give me the link about surname coming first for historical figures before Meiji era? I don't know anything about it, I just assumed since other articles listed the surname last, that it was the convention (Western convention). Otherwise it really is confusing for people to guess which is the surname. East Asian convention has always been surname first. Even in Japan they tell people that family name comes before the given name. — Nrtm81 08:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thanks. OK, I'll moved the page back, also the Miura Gorō page. By the way, can you add mention about the naming convention at Help:Japanese so that people who click on the question mark will understand the naming convention format? Thanks — Nrtm81 08:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I've just changed Help:Japanese to reflect the name convention. Now I come across mention about Utada Hikaru defying the convention because her fans reject conformation :-) — Nrtm81 00:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

:fr:Catégorie:Ligne à grande vitesse

Hi... I'm trying to help out with Wikipedia:Translation_into_English/French and the above mentioned articles seem to have been undertaken by you, but there hasn't been a status report since February. I was wondering if you could update the status, move it to completed (or loose ends) or at least let people know where they should start if they want to finish the task. Thanks! --Storkk 23:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Turnham Green tube station

Thanks for your comments on my recent edit to Turnham Green - the history couldn't be much more complicated. I have already edited all the articles from Uxbridge and Heathrow down to Turnham Green and am working my way into town. I'm currently revising the opening history on the Metropolitan District Railway article and will be doing the stations to Hammersmith shortly. DavidCane 11:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the translation

Thank you for the translation! :) WhisperToMe 22:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

"Moi, je dit non. En ce cas-ci, j'ai le pressentiment d'un « Laocoon » prudent. Pourquoi? Car c'est WhisperToMe qui vient d'offre un espèce de cadeau grec. Non avec inquiétude. --Ooperhoofd 14 septembre 2007 à 02:46 (CEST)"

What does this say? WhisperToMe 00:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

A Laocoön is described like this: "his minor role in the Epic Cycle narrating the Trojan War was of warning the Trojans in vain against accepting the Trojan Horse from the Greeks— "A deadly fraud is this," he said, "devised by the Achaean chiefs!"—[5]" - So is Ooper trying to sow some kind of xenophobia? He is claiming that he is neither for or against what I say, but what is he really trying to do? WhisperToMe 05:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

EDIT: I reread the thing and now I am just plain puzzled: "aocoön (Λαοκόων [laok'ooːn], usual English pronunciation [leɪ'ɒkəʊɒn]), the son of Acoetes[1] was a Trojan priest of Poseidon,[2] or of Apollo, whose rules he had defied by marrying and having sons[3] or had committed an impiety by having sex with his wife in the presence of a cult image in a sanctuary;[4] his minor role in the Epic Cycle narrating the Trojan War was of warning the Trojans in vain against accepting the Trojan Horse from the Greeks— "A deadly fraud is this," he said, "devised by the Achaean chiefs!"—[5] and for his subsequent divine execution by serpents sent from the sea.[6]"

- So... Why does he believe that I would get eaten alive by going to another Wiki and making a suggestion? WhisperToMe 05:26, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Npower logo.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Npower logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

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 Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:32, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
