Welcome to Wikipedia!

edit

Hello Ryoske, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf 10:18, 28 August 2005 (UTC).Reply


Hi there! Thanks for your contributions to Kompeito.

I noticed you added an extra kanji variant of the word, and took out the hiragana version. ja:金平糖 uses 金平糖 as the title of the article, and it's the most common way to write the word if kanji is to be used at all, so I suggest we leave that as the primary spelling. Including alternate spellings is probably not that useful unless we list all of them.

Also, the katakana variant spelling コンペイトー is extremely uncommon; there are only 417 hits for it on Google. こんぺいとう has 138,000, so we should keep it there instead of the katakana spelling. It's by far the most common way to write the word.

If you don't mind, I think I'll make these changes. Thanks again for contributing! --Che Fox 06:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Also you might find this helpful.[3] It's a Korean news report about the book, but interviews are in Japanese and I can do a bit of translation if you want.--ThreeAnswers 03:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Attention Ryosuke!

Someone has vandalized your good post on Kenkanryu! Please do something about it. I complained about it on the talk section of the Kenkanryu article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakuhachi (talkcontribs) 22:40, 11 April 2006

フランスファイブ

edit

Hello, I noticed you speak Japanese, and I am curious if you can help us translate this into English, for Super Sentai.

フランスファイブを見た串田氏のほうから、主題歌を歌ってみたい!との友情にとんだ申し出があり、氏みずからフランスファイブのために曲を作詞・作曲してくださった。

You can find more information here. Thank you! Taric25 20:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure how to translate this exactly, but it says that Kushida himself wrote the music and lyrics for France Five upon request.--Ryoske 08:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
OK, thank you for your help! Taric25 05:38, 29 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

This man is a JAPANESE

edit

This man is a JAPANESE. why do you pretend to foreighner?

I am not Japanese, I state on my userpage that I am Australian, and cannot speak the Japanese language fluently (I can prove this, as if you look in the history of Neo Gomanism Manifesto Special - On War, you can find that User:Madler corrected my incorrect translations of the chapter names.)--Ryoske 05:41, 15 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
And as for me "pretending to be a foreigner", Ryoske is merely an alias chosen due to my interest in Japan.--Ryoske 05:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)Reply


Erik Mongrain - エリック・モングレイン ??

edit

Hello, I contact you to help me with an article to translate in japanese. At the beginning, I have created the article with the caracters エリック・モングレン, but wikipedians decides to spell it エリック・モングレイン instead, because Erik didn't have a official Website in japanese. I'm Erik Mongrain's Webmaster, and to do the japanese pages, the translator have spelled Erik Mongrain エリック・モングレン. The problem that I have is that there's 2 ways his name in japanese and I was wondering which one is the good one for his official Website (and the article)...

My question is : which spelling would you choose for the official name of Erik Mongrain in japanese??

Thank in advance for your help. Have a nice day! --Antaya 00:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I guess モングレイン would be the better spelling, since it's used on the official website.--Ryoske 06:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Hyeomilryu cover.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Hyeomilryu cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Pop music

edit

Hey, Ryoske, I'd like to ask for a favour in your capacity as Japanese-English translator. I'm working on a complete re-write of Pop music and when I recently moved the text from my sandbox to the article, the format of the link to the Japanese-language Wikipedia was lost. I don't have Japanese fonts on my system so am unable to fix it myself, would you be as kind as to correct it for me when you have the time? You can go straight to the appropriate section here. Thank you very much. ↔ Dennywuh (talk) 15:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Japanese Music Charts

edit

Hi, I'm just writing to you to request your help and assistance in referencing the Japanese Music Charts. Through out alot of popular english songs I have viewed I have noticed that they have been noted as performing well in Japan and have also read that the Japanese music market it very big. But in saying this every song I have seen has not got a Japanese chart position in the charts box. So if you are into music and willing to try and provide information on the Japanese Music Charts it would be greatly appreciated so then wikipedia users can start adding the Japanese chart positions into the chart boxes for popular songs.

Korean racial slur.

edit

Hello Ryoske. Please join the discussion at Talk:Anti-Japanese_sentiment. I have noticed that you added [Literally meaning "pig's feet"] as an explanation for this Korean slur, Jjokbari, and I wanna know what was your source for the theory. I know it's been years since your edit, but if you could join the discussion that would be great. PBJT (talk) 20:32, 29 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
