Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Akira Suzuki (chemist). When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

- I apologise for tagging this change as vandalism. While I think it was probably not the best edit, it was certainly not vandalism.--Shirt58 (talk) 09:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for your speedy and gracious reply! It looks like I was wrong on all counts. I should have checked before I made any changes to your contributions. Might I also say that your contributions are particularly valuable to the Wikipedia project: most contributors are native English speakers from English-speaking countries. May I ask why you are so well-informed about Japan related subjects? Again, apologies for my uninformed and incorrect edits. --Shirt58 (talk) 11:10, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- It is all right. Just a little misunderstanding and it is all set now. I am somewhat informed about Japan related topics because I have been there (and still on and off) and I am familiar with the language. Japan has an interesting history and a very relaxing natural scenery. There are differences that one should be aware of, but it is a place worth visiting.

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.
