Sansom source

Hi! I started to collect resources for a new article on the Fujiwara no Nakamaro Rebellion from 764. I saw at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Japan/Reference library, that you have the first part of Sansom ("A History of Japan to 1334") and was wondering if it (or any other source you might have) has anything to say on the topic. Would appreciate if you could have a look when you get time (it is not urgent). Most other sources I have, describe the events around that rebellion (Koken, Dokyo, Nakamaro,...) in detail but when it comes to the actual rebellion they say little more than that it was crushed. bamse (talk) 10:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

I will look up the information when I get back from the convention I'm at. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:16, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. bamse (talk) 08:02, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

There was barely a mention in the book you mentioned. There is a bit more mentioned in this book, however, and it's free from Project Gutenberg. I will see what else I can find. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 07:41, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. In fact Farris, "Heavenly Warriors" is very detailed on the rebellion part, so I have quite a good set of references already. Of course more references won't hurt, but please don't search too hard for something else. bamse (talk) 09:11, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Protection of the Chinese-language-name re-directs for the Senkaku Islands

A secret content-fork of the Senkaku Islands was managed to be created by an Australian-based Chinese-speaking editor. Surely, ALL Chinese-language-name re-directs should also be under full protection from editing? -- KC9TV 20:05, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Someone else already protected it. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:15, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Dubious name change

Radiopathy — a user with a long history of short blocks and the topic of multiple discussions at admin noticeboards for disruptive editing — changed his name to Vanished user 194difuh2ruhqwdoinxojakdjncno234r (talk · contribs). Okay, fine so far. But then almost immediately the account Radiopathy (talk · contribs) was recreated, effectively blanking the block log and talk page history for this user. This strikes me as odd at best. Wasn't sure where to start inquiring about this, thought you might be able to provide some insight. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 17:35, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I was coming here with the same question. If this is okay then no problem it is just that I hadn't seen anything like to in my 7+ years here and I wanted to be sure that all was okay. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD | Talk 17:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

He did that so no one else would create an account with that username. The logs are still there, so no worries. I've blocked the newly-minted Radiopathy account, too. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

70.89.111.73 (talk · contribs) erased the redirect, and I restored it. Whichever way it should be, I recommend you set it correctly, and protect the page. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 19:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with this. This user has announced their retirement multiple times and has always returned soon after, so I wasn't sure what to make of an immediate reappearance after vanishing. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 02:49, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Question about trains in Japan

Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking a random question but I've noticed you edit many articles on trains in Japan. Can I ask if you know how the "noriire" system in Japan works? Is it just 2 different companies sharing trainsets and operations are handled independently on their respective infrastructures or is it an infrastructure access contract? I can't find any information about it on Misplaced Pages or other sites. Any information or if you can point me to a website which explains this, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks. 138.253.210.27 (talk) 14:08, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the noriire system. You may wish to ask over at WT:TIJ. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:06, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

thank you for that. 92.234.163.11 (talk) 18:15, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

My rename

Please rename me. I do not want to use this name because it seems to be offensive. You fulfilled everyone's requests here but not my request. Why is it so? Does my new username have any problems? If so please tell me what is the problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pooooooooohahaha (talk • contribs) 17:56, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

This is not the place to request a name change, discuss your pending username change, or to argue with me about your username change request. Please take your request, discussion, and/or arguments to WP:CHUS. Also, note that I'm not the only one who does renames. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:56, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
