Re: Sankebetsu brown bear incident

Thanks for your comment. I hope you don't mind my somewhat ruthless rewriting. Unfortunately I don't know if I'll have enough time to do the whole article. Good luck with this interesting story. I recommend providing links to a few sources though, if you can find any.Astarica 15:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Romanization

Before creating any more new articles in the English Wikipedia or doing any extensive editing to existing articles, please carefully study the conventions for writing Japanese words in English. For example, you created an article titled Tokyo-daigaku sougoh kenkyu-jyo Hakubutｓukann Koishikawa bunninn. In this romanization, you mark the long /o/ vowel in two different ways (ou and oh), you don't mark the long /u/ in kenkyu, you use a zenkaku s in the middle of Hakubutsukann, and you use the nonstandard double nn for ん. Such inconsistencies and mistakes make your articles practically useless and very time-consuming to fix. Please read and study the articles Romanization of Japanese, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles), and the articles linked from those, and examine carefully other articles on Japan-related topics to get a better idea of how Japanese words and names are handled in Wikipedia. よろしくお願いします。 Tomgally 00:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks you.

I appreciate your pointing out my mistake.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.　 Kochirakoso yoroshiku onegaishimasu「こちらこそよろしくおねがいします」Tokyo Watcher 03:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I have a different opinion on this matter. Please read ja:ノート:ローマ字論#擴張ヘボン式. Kmns tsw 10:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Shippai Gakkai

A tag has been placed on Shippai Gakkai, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Shippai Gakkai. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SkierRMH 02:36, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks you.
I attempt to review about this matter.Tokyo Watcher

Interwiki links

Please stop adding Japanese interwiki links to articles like Tohoku University. The people listed in that article already have their own English Wikipedia entries, and the Japanese wikipedia link is on that page.

Wikipedia:Interlanguage links says that

Ordinary interlanguage links are only suitable for linking to a corresponding page in another language. However, if a topic does not have its own page in the English Wikipedia, but has in another language version of Wikipedia, then linking to that is useful, from a page that mentions the topic, and/or covers a more general topic.

And, WP:MOS-JA says

do not provide the Japanese for any Japanese term that is linked to an article containing the Japanese for that term.

So, for example in Tohoku University, adding a link to the Japanese wikipedia for Koji Azuma is acceptable, because there is currently no article on him in the English wikipedia. But, adding kanji or the interwiki links for Koichi Tanaka or Jun-Ichi Nishizawa is against both of the two policies above. Regards. Neier 23:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

>>Do not repeat the Japanese for that term in the article. >>
It forbit "repeat" but not prohibit to write Japanese link, isn' it?.Tokyo Watcher 02:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

if a topic does not have its own page in the English Wikipedia, but has in another language version of Wikipedia, then linking to that is useful, from a page that mentions the topic, and/or covers a more general topic. For example>

I interpret above-mentioned sentences as follows. It is not forbitten link to another language. You understood your idea but I am not agree. I don't attach to your expectations and feel sorry.Tokyo Watcher 02:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Please understand what is meant by corresponding page in Wikipedia:Interlanguage links. It means, ONLY the article for the same title (so, the corresponding page of en:Tohoku University is ja:東北大学. For other pages (not corresponding pages), this applies: However, if a topic does not have its own page in the English Wikipedia, but has in another language version of Wikipedia, then linking to that is useful, from a page that mentions the topic, and/or covers a more general topic. If the topic (like a person) has its own article, then the interlanguage link should not be added to any other page -- just the main page.

Also, in the WP:MOS-JA, the first sentence says In a narrative article, provide the Japanese script for the subject of that article when first introducing it (ideally in the first line of the article).

Then, the next sentence follows: Do not repeat the Japanese for that term in the article.

So it means, in an article like Tohoku University, the kanji 東北大学 should be introduced at the beginning (that is the first sentence for the subject of that article), but, there is no point to write 東北大学 again in the article. It does not mean anything for kanji in the rest of the article.

For kanji of places or people mentioned inside an article, having Japanese is a distraction. That is why the WP:MOS-JA says However, do not provide the Japanese for any Japanese term that is linked to an article containing the Japanese for that term. With Wikipedia, if the reader is interested to know more details about something (including the kanji of a person's name), then, they can click the link and find out more.

If you disagree with this, then please ask at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles) for other opinions. そのページで、日本語でもいい。 Many people on that discussion page can answer your questions in Japanese too. Neier 04:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi dear Neier!
I understood your claim.However, I am not in the step which can agree your claim at the time of now. Wiki doesn't prohibit the link of the foreign language using the character of the foreign language, and managed according to the rule. I wish to show you the rule which supports your claim.Tokyo Watcher

Hi dear Neier!

I understood your claim.However, I am not in the step which can agree your claim at the time of now. Wiki doesn't prohibit the link of the foreign language using the character of the foreign language, and managed according to the rule. I wish to show you the rule which supports your claim.Tokyo Watcher

WP:MOS-JA, which rules the format for any Japanese-subject articles, says However, do not provide the Japanese for any Japanese term that is linked to an article containing the Japanese for that term. In other words, in Tohoku University do not provide Japanese for Koichi Tanaka or Jun-Ichi Nishizawa, or for Hokkaido University either. Currently, you could add the Japanese kanji for Koji Azuma, as there is no article for him yet; but, once he has an English article with his kanji correctly displayed, then it should be deleted from the Tohoku University page too. That is the rule which supports my claim. Neier 13:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Tokyo Watcherさんの書込みの中二つの問題があった：

1. 日本語名の使い方
2. 日本語ウィキペディアへの参照方

基本的に英語のウィキペディアで日本語名（漢字・ひらがな・カタカナで書いている名前）の利用はその名前が表しているモノのページに限定している。ただ、そのモノの英語ウィキペディア・ページがない場合のみ、日本語名をモノを参照するページに書いてもいい。

同じく日本語ウィキペディア・ページへの参照は基本的に該当のモノのページに限定されて、その英語ウィキペディ・ページがない場合のみ参照するページに入れてもいい。

だから、Tokyo Walkerさんがもともと"Tohoku University"での田中耕一についての書込みでは、"Koichi Tanaka"という英語ウィキペディア・ページが既にあって、その中日本語名と日本語ウィキペディアへのリングがあったため、それぞれを東北大学の英語ページに入れることがルール違反だった。逆に、"Koji Azuma"という英語ページがないため、東北大学のページに彼の日本語名と日本語ウィキペディアへのリンクを入れたら問題ない。

Maintenance tags remain at the top of articles.

The next time you revert and put maintenance tags where they should not be, or remove them without fixing the problem, you will be blocked. Period. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 05:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Stop disrupting articles

I ask you why I returnan article violently.Tokyo Watcher 23:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

My changes to many of the articles you created were to bring them in line with the Manual of Style, and to clean them up. Many of the articles contained gratuitous Japanese (this is the English Wikipedia, after all), were difficult to read, and in some cases had hideous grammar and spelling to the point of utter incomprehensibility. My edits were within policy and greatly benefitted each and every one of those articles, your reverts are in violation of policy, and are bordering on vandalism and disruption. Keep it up and I will block you. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 23:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)！.Tokyo Watcher

Yup. Read it twice. And there was still too much Japanese in the articles. In addition, my removal of the Japanese played a very small part in the cleanup of the articles, which had other problems as outlined on your talk page. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 23:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Does the rule exist about the frequency which uses Japane？ Tokyo Watcher

Yes and no. What I'm using is Common Sense, and a basic understanding of proper article construction and, apparently, the English Language. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

OH, will Block is not me but you. I see your block log[1] , you have many previous convictions, aren't you?Tokyo Watcher

No,　Wiki is based on the rule, you are mistake. I see your block log[2], you have many previous convictions, I think that you aren't suitable to rewrite others article, please resign from a trickTokyo Watcher.

Ignoring the parts of the above I cannot understand, I will point out that they are not your articles (WP:OWN) and I will edit what I please. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I understand you refuse a conversation, isn't it.Why don't you show the attitude of the reconsideration? Tokyo Watcher

Refusing a conversation? I think I have clearly explained what my reasoning is. Your inability to understand it is not a refusal. So why don't you do something more productive than pestering me with your incomprehensible ramblings. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

　Blocking you is not me but by the administrator. Stop emotional reaction.Tokyo Watcher

Final Warning

This is your final warning. Your edits are disruptive and border on vandalism. Stop reverting articles to their prior, pre-cleaned up states (i.e. unreadable, poorly written, incomprehensible). --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 03:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

You erased my description.[3] This is an important forbidden act.
I contact a administrator if you don't answer a conversation and continue destructive act.Tokyo Watcher

Sigh... again... it is above. All I did was move the conversation. Don't hide it and accuse me of getting rid of it, that's not a very bright move. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 05:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

I gave you quite a bit of warning. I have been fairly patient with you. You have continued to revert to pre-cleanup states (poorly written, and incomprehensible) essentially vandalizing the articles in question. You have been blocked as a result. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 05:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Stop

• Why don't you go and ask some Japanese editors with a better command of English about your problems and leave the impressively patient Mr Gustafson alone? I really feel you're wasting his time with this, and will block you for disruption if you continue. Deiz talk 15:42, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yaoya Ohichi

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Yaoya Ohichi, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Deiz talk 05:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

In Japanese pronunciation for number 7 is shichi and hichi. There are many readings to one kanji. Therefore, I think the kanji must be written down in the English sentence.Tokyo Watcher 11:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Japan-related edits

I would advise you not to contact Jeffrey O. Gustafson regarding Japan-related edits. If he deems that displaying kanji for secondary items mentioned in an article is unecessary and you disagree, from past experience you should undersand that this is a "content dispute" that you are unlikely to resolve from contacting him or inviting arguments on talk pages. Instead, consider contacting other editors with an interest in Japan articles, User:Nihonjoe for example, who is a highly experienced editor and administrator. I'm sure Jeffrey will be happy to respect any input from Nihonjoe in such matters. Deiz talk 02:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

"Japanese woman" category

Hi. I suggest you rename the category Japanese women in the plural as per WP:NCCAT before adding any more articles to it. --DAJF 06:55, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Or, even better, just use the existing category: Category:Japanese women. Neier 07:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I belatedly discovered that Category:Japanese women should not be used for individual articles, so I have used Category:Japanese people unless more specific (e.g. occupation-related) categories already exist for the articles originally assigned to Category:Japanese woman. I propose to tag Category:Japanese woman for speedy deletion once it has been left empty for a few days. --DAJF 09:49, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gakushi-kai

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Gakushi-kai requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. TM 06:01, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gakushi-kai

Hello, Tokyo Watcher, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, Gakushi-kai, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

It helps to explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Help Desk. Thanks again for contributing! TM 14:47, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tokyo Watcher. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tokyo Watcher~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
